The sticky buns were incredible. Each layer was buttery, flakey, and sticky. They center of the sticky bun was the perfect balance of cripy on the outside and with a soft core. The sweetness was not overpowering. My daughter enjoyed her eclair she said it was too sweet.Wheelchair accessibility: The door is a little tight. You wheel directly into a display case. Upon entering the door swings in and is not automatic. Seating is outside and accessible by ramp. Large bathroom is a single stall in on the otherside of the plaza, you need to ask for a key.

What a lovely spot along the main drag in Montecito. All the ingredients are brought in from France, which lends to the richness of the food and beverages. Everything our group ate was delicious but we highly recommend the almond croissant in particular due to the almond cream inside. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. A must visit when in town.

Yum. We really like to have breakfast at the Montecito location and grab/go on State. Great place with plenty of options for everyone to be happy but just a tad overpriced.

We had been hearing about the Unique Wine Experience at Renaud's Montecito, and I must say that we thoroughly enjoyed our Friday evening with French wines, small bites, and all in their very cozy bistro space. Thank you very much to Michael for introducing and educating us on their menu of Premium Imported French Wines. His energy and wine knowledge is very much appreciated, and we all left there feeling much more savvy about the world of French Wines. And a big thank you to our server Alicia who recommended some amazing small bites to pair with our wines. Both her and Michael made this evening very special. The small bites we chose were the Petites Quiches, Petite Salade Maison, Croque Monsieur, and then deliciously followed with their Crème Brûlée. Am excited to return with friends and to also try their Boards and Soupe à l'Oignon. Their small bistro is really a hidden gem right there in the heart of Montecito.

Enjoyed an enchanted evening with friends at Renauds. Great company, amazing wine and tasty food equals the perfect night out. We decided to each select the three different flights and share the food. Each flight came with either: cheese board, quiches, gougeres. That's the way to go because you get to taste a little bit of everything. Our server was great and gave us a lot information about the different cheeses and wines. Love, love, love!!! And don't forget the dessert! :-)

Now open for wine tasting and small bites Friday and Saturday nights 4 to 9 pm. My husband and I were invited to meet up at Renaud's in Montecito. What a lovely experience. It is an evening of wine and small bites pairing that is well orchestrated and planned. You may pick your wine and food pairing from a varied menu. We picked several items and small pours of wine. Enjoyed the service, the food, the wine descriptions in a relaxing atmosphere. Everything was exce pleasing to the palate. Over all relaxing, enjoyable evening. Given the chance, wanting to meetup with friends or just wanting a romantic evening with sweetheart of your choice. Give Renaud's wine evening a try.

Renaud's Patisserie offers a truly exceptional Friday & Saturday night experience with their imported wines, cheeses and meats. Wow!! We were impressed with some of the cheese options special imports not available for sale anywhere. The cozy ambiance complements the exquisite selection, creating a delightful atmosphere for wine enthusiasts. The staff's expertise in recommending pairings adds an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. A must-visit for those seeking a distinctive culinary journey. Definitely try out the Flight Experience to guess which wines are shared in the sampling for the night, that was super fun!

Delicious little gem! Stopped by after visiting Westmont. Friendly servers, fresh salad and delicious pizza.

Food was delicious. Lovely outdoor seating. I recommend to place your order at the counter inside. The table app is very glitchy. The app indicates it will email you the receipt to confirm your order. However no one at our table received an email receipt confirmation. We ordered again and received 2 orders. If your sitting at the same table, but ordering separately the kitchen doesn't link your orders and food will be delivered at different times. The waiters were friendly and tried to resolve. The manager needs customer service training.
Adorable place in Montecito with beautifully crafted pastries and tasty drinks!So many elements of this place are appealing: the central location, the exquisite pastry booths, a charming elegance alongside a welcoming atmosphere… absolutely loved my few visits here and justifiably worth any wait! Renaud’s seems to be a Montecito staple and I’d hope to come back!

Wow! I came here December 2018 and loved it so much I ate breakfast every day I was here on vacation. August 7th 2023 I came back and couldn't be more disappointed. The girls at the counter would say "we are out of xxxx" it seemed like everything. Iced tea, orange juice and more. Their attitudes spoiled the experience. The food was not as good as I remembered. Did the chef change? Was it the girls attitudes? So disappointed. I left 5 years ago thinking this was the best breakfast spot I have ever been to and today as I drive to the airport I think "wow that was an expensive disappointment."
