Restaurants in Alsace traditionally have a formal main dining room as well as a casual dining room known locally as a weinstube or brasserie. At the brasserie, diners may enjoy traditional, hearty Alsatian dishes in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. These friendly establishments are immensely popular with Alsatians and visiting them is always the best part of my trips back to Alsace. I opened Jacques' Brasserie at L'Auberge Chez François to bring the tastes and comforts of the Alsatian brasserie to Great Falls.

    We have been regulars for years to this fine establishment. The service, good food and ambience is always appreciated for a great meal. We love that the menu rotates, but the service remains the same- you are treated well, the food is amazing and the accommodations are impeccable. Love this place and will be coming back for years.

    For first time, it was a great experience. Soufflé was particularly outstanding. Egg Benedict and lobster omelette were great as well.

    Food is delicious comfort food like meatballs, cacio e pepe arancini, spicy risotto with Italian sausage, and delicious pizzas. We have never had a dish we didn’t love. The service is always impeccable, friendly and efficient. When we told our server that one of our party had a shellfish allergy, a manager came out and told us which items might be unsafe because they were cooked in the same oil as the calamari. This was such an important thing to do and we’ve never had that happen anywhere else. I highly recommend North Italia!

    This was our second vsiit and we had another great dining experience, the service and food was great! We ordered the focaccia, burrata, baked shrimp, and short rib and loved each dish. The drinks were great as well. We visited the day before Valentine's Day and they had this strawberry pistachio dessert that was so good. I am not a dessert person so that says a lot. Overall, would highly recommend. Great restaurant, speakeasy vibes, very loungey and dim atmosphere. We will be back again!
