About us

The great story of a small bistro... Like a treasure buried in the heart of Faubourg St-Jean, a really well-kept secret ... the story of The Hobbit. This small, unpretentious bistro, is a reflection of the character of Tolkien, it carries with it the greatness of a story whose echo is still heard today at the cafe. Over time, it became the place where culinary delights come together in an ambiance worthy of a warm and cozy home. But beware, behind that familiar face, between the stones of this old house lurk ghosts that give The Hobbit that "je ne sais quoi" and make it a place apart from all others.

I ordered the classic with an extra egg. My partner ordered the sea urchin scrambled eggs. Hers was fantastic. The urchin gave it some umami without being overpowering.. I loved my toast that had a delicious grilled & blackened feel, & the jam was perfect. The eggs were good & the potatoes were just okay, surprisingly bland for how good they looked.

What drew us in initially was the Michelin guide sign, so we were very surprised by how disappointing the experience was. The staff was welcoming & friendly, however both ordering & then paying our bill took a frustrating amount of time. & all this would be ok if the food was worth it. We got the urchin scrambled eggs on toast, the waffle chicken, & the soup of the day which lowkey tasted like what's left on your bowl after eating a vinaigrette salad . The urchin scrambled eggs had little to no taste & the burnt edges toast they were on was not remarkable either. The waffle chicken was a little dry but nothing too wrong about it. Also nothing too right either.
We paid around 50$ so it wasn't that bad I just wish I would have spent it somewhere else.

Surprisingly disappointing. The service was friendly but nothing memorable, the food on the other hand was not good. The tomato tart had raw crust & filling tasted just like plain tomato paste. The Eggs Benedict had hard poached eggs not soft. When we asked the server they said it was supposed to be like that. Unfortunately wouldn't recommend or return.

I had the eggs Benedict, which I have to admit it wasn't my favourite, but only because it's different than your traditional eggs benny. The service was exceptional though, Clara was the nicest & made sure we enjoyed everything!

Nice little Café/restaurant with good basic foods. Mostly french influenced north american. Service was amazingly friendly & the brunch was quite good. Fresh bread smoked bacon, white ham eggs baked potatoes. Coffee was also quite good. Atmosphere is that of a european café & very cozy. visited in the late morning hours.

We tried this restaurent for breakfast. They serve classical dishes with new twists. The carrot cake French toast was very unusual. Even the egg Benedict did not taste as expected. No sauce hollandaise, they use their seasonal flavors.

Of the three dishes from Le hobbit I would highly recommend the salmon tartare it blended together the perfect amount of ingredients make a remarkable taste, but above that the Smokey devilled eggs were the best overall 10/10 must have! The chicken & waffles were great too but I would more so recommend the salmon & eggs

Such a treasure! We found it walking around Jean Baptist street nearing lunch time & angled for the brunch menu. The scrambled urchin eggs were unreal - as were the deviled eggs. So rich & complex & just fantastic. You canNOT miss the orleans spritz. Subtle gorgeous elixir that will stay in my hobbit loving heart forever! Our server Leanna (I am pretty sure that is here name) - so kind & sweet & enthusiastic. Also loved every damn song that came on. Looooved this place & the whole street. Spend a day here. & do not miss the library in the church. So cool!

This was wonderful. We had a table by an open window on a beautiful day. Lovely servers. I had sea urchin omelet which was shockingly great. So were the deviled eggs. Great experience.

Came here for breakfast & was not disappointed. The special menu with local & French inspiration was vegetarian-friendly & so tasty! We got the the vegetable tarte tatin & the eggs benedict, both were a hit. This is a nice elevated option for breakfast.
