Think back to your childhood and your school’s cafeteria. You would grab a tray and the lunch workers would scoop out what was on the menu that day. To be honest, cafeteria food from childhood wasn’t all that great, was it? Now, let’s take a look at a cafeteria-style restaurant in New Mexico that serves up home-cooked French cuisine. Sounds better, doesn’t it? Well, that’s because it is! La Madeleine in Albuquerque is a French bakery and cafe that uses fresh ingredients in its cuisine that’s served cafeteria style.

You can find La Madeleine French Bakery & Cafe on Louisiana Blvd. in Albuquerque. Come here for a variety of baked goods, soups, salads, sandwiches, crepes, and entrees, all served cafeteria-style!

This is a comfortable, and casual place that's open daily from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., so feel free to visit for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. You can sit indoors, perhaps by the fireplace, or take your meal outdoors when the weather is nice.

When you arrive, head straight to the counter and grab a tray. You can choose the items that catch your eye on along the food line.
