Le Gamin Country - City of Hudson

A visit to Hudson wouldn’t be complete without indulging in brunch at my favorite French bistro, Le Gamin Country. The food is both authentic and delicious! During my recent...

Charming and adorable French-style café located on the main street in Hudson. I really enjoyed their pastries, and the eggs Benedict was amazing! They also serve a decent espresso.

I had the most incredible crepe with sugar and lemon. It was so light, and the lemon flavor was utterly delicate. I didn’t want it to end. It felt like reading a captivating book, where you...

Walked in and asked for a table for 4 that was available near the front entrance. It was warm outside and even warmer inside the restaurant. The host pointed to a table towards the rear that would have been even warmer and said “sit there”. We asked for the table near the entrance that was still empty. He said “no, sit there”, pointing to the back. As we walked out he said “you are missing good food”. Poor business decision. Lots of places to eat in Hudson. He doesn’t understand that even good food with a bad attitude is poison.

The past 2 recent visits here prior to the one on Saturday were 4 star. The salads, quiche, soups, coffees, desserts and service were all good and enjoyable, so we returned. But the visit this past Saturday late afternoon spoiled that. We were seated at a table during a time when the cafe wasn’t particularly busy. A young man who was later identified to us as the manager came up to our table and asked for our food order. When we said we were only having coffee, he went on some incoherent and unnecessary rant about how we didn’t order food so he might move us or ask us to leave, i am not quite sure which, since he promptly walked away, Mind you, as we were leaving there were additional empty tables. When i told him upon getting ready to leave that it was Inappropriate to seat people and then tell them they might have to leave since they didn’t order food, his unprofessional behavior continued. The coffee was good, but i was angry at the treatment, and my wife uncomfortable so that she didn’t want to stay to finish her coffee. We tipped our lovely waitress $2.50, which was 20 percent , I hope that no one else has this experience. It won’t happen to us again, there are many fine restaurants and coffee places in Hudson.
