Cafe Beaudelaire

Jay and Claudio are the best. The food is great and there is always good service.

It‘s great! To eat, I‘d recommend the Spanish burger - comes with a fried egg! To drink, try a pisco sour - delicious and Peruvian!

Delicious vegetarian food, friendly staff, good music.

friendly service, great atmosphere, and delicious drinks, with good specials!!

My girlfriend and I recently grabbed lunch at Cafe Beaudelaire and loved it. Truly unique menu items, a clean environment and friendly staff. We are sure to become regulars.

The food is great and the service too. At night is the best bar you can go I love the caipirinha. Try it!!!

Wow...I miss this place! One of my favorite spots in the U.S.

I miss this place SOOO much. I used to hang out at Beaudelaire ALL THE TIME in the early 90‘s while I was at Iowa State. The food, drinks, service and atmosphere are all outstanding and one of a kind! I don‘t know if they still have the Bauru sandwiches, but they are to die for! They also invented an awesome shot called a "Nightmare."

This place is sort of a "diamond in the rough". It‘s right in campustown yet many people haven‘t been there. The only way to find out if you like it... go there! Try some Brazilian food and get a drink (long islands are highly recommended, as well as potent!).

Outstanding! Great drinks and food you can‘t get anywhere else in Ames. Need a date spot?? Cafe Beaudelaire is it!

I love this place. Great food and service. It has something that alot of places in Ames are missing. Do experience it for yourself.

Love it. Great food. If only they could imporve their sidewalk dining some how. I‘ll keep going though.

I like this place. Good atmostphere. But I get out before they get the ashtrays out! Once people start smoking, there is nowhere to hide. So I recommend this place before 8pm! Otherwise try Brewer‘s, a non-smoking bar in Somerset.

Obviously the long islands rock your socks off. The food is better than average there as well. The bar is laid back and you don‘t find you typical idiot wasted college students there. Good bar in my opinion.

This is just a great place to go. The best night is Sat for the long islands. Good times will be had by all.

My friends and I always go here because they have the BEST long island ice teas in the world!! They are big and a couple of them will get you drunk fast! Cool place!

First time there, I Had an Overpriced lukewarm latte (12oz for $2.94) unfortunately didn‘t have time to return for an exchange. Perhaps better luck the second time around. -AP Mojeaux

A unique Ames dining experience - great Brazilian food! Beaudelaire is perhaps best known for their Long Islands, but it‘s food is one of the best kept secrets in Ames. Try it out for yourself - it‘s a great "date night" location!

My favorite place in Ames throughout five years of school. Excellent service, drinks, food, and company. Some of the best dancing in Ames on the weekends. Awesome collection of foreign currencies as well, worth checking out if you‘re a traveler. Perhaps you could even contribute.....

One of my favorite places in Ames. They are small and cosy. They have a good selection of vegetarian options. My favorite (non veg option) is the Origonal Bauro (?spelling) Sandwhich. It‘s really tasty. On the weekend nights, Cafe Beaudelaire changes into a bar scene, just something to keep in mind. Also they allow smoking at the bar, the bar is about 10 feet from every table. So if smoke can ruin your meal beware.

The new menu items are great! You should definitely try these out.Also, it looks like they reduced their drink prices a bit, making it more affordable with the same friendly service.

I eat here at least once per week, the food is consistently good, it‘s inexpensive even with gratuity included, and I‘ve always gotten friendly service. The new menu items are great too! The only thing I don‘t care for is the smoking. DEFINITELY GO THERE

If you like the long islands (best in town or best ever, rather) try a long beach. Look out for Saturday night long island specials (8pm - 11 pm).

They just added a lot of new authentic entrees that are all good and deserve a try.

I have seen and heard of the owner (the crazy looking old guy) yell at several customers when they asked for additional items or complained about service. NEVER GO THERE

This bar is for people who are friendly, open, and fun. It‘s a very connected environment - everybody is friends with everybody, which makes it awesome. The food is great. The people are great. The long islands are amazing.

Tuesday nights are $2.75 caipirinhas, which are phenomenal considering no one else in town knows how to make them, let alone what they are.

Very eclectic and gourmet selection of food. Great indoor/outdoor seating with awesome service. Don‘t forget to try out Brazilian alcoholic drinks as well..

Always a nice atmosphere, good place to chill.
