A Local Table
with a Global Passport

We brought a little corner of France to West Omaha, but our culinary journey doesn't stop there. From our highly anticipated Grand Re-Opening this week to Saturday High Teas and our exclusive, globe-trotting Monthly Culture Nights, there is always a new flavor to explore at Le Voltaire.

From intimate 10-person dinners at your home to 100-guest milestone celebrations, let our family craft a customized French menu for yours.

Notes From Our Neighbors

The greatest compliment we can receive is a shared memory. For over two decades, Le Voltaire has been the backdrop for countless first dates, anniversaries, and family milestones. See what the Omaha community is saying about their time in our little corner of France.

We did the chef's tasting menu. Everything was delicious,  with the crab cake and salmon being stand outs as especially tasty. The wine pairings went well with the dishes. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was our first time there but we'll definitely be back.

Me & my girlfriends enjoyed our Saturday night with Great Food, Great Drinks, and Beautiful Atmosphere. Our waiter Benji explained everything down to a T. He was so down to earth and professional all @ the same time. Every once in a while I kept seeing the chef pop the kitchen to check the dining room. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Thank you and will be returning soon.

Amazing food and service! Thanks to Lisa for going above and beyond as a good server even though it was so busy. I highly reccomend the brie josette and the blanquette de veau! We will absolutely come back!

Visiting from UK, we had sunday brunch.I personally tried escargot for the first time and they were delicious. Their special was waffle with berries and cream which I ordered and thoroughly enjoyed it. Everyone's choices of food went down really well. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys French cuisine. Thank you 😊

The duck liver & French onion soup was bomb! We had the filet & ribeye, both fantastic also. Very busy restaurant. But very good service by our waitress.

My friend and I visited this place and we absolutely loved it. The food was amazingly delicious. I didn’t really understand much from the menu but my server helped me get there. The salad that came with my meal was awesome. The interior was cool. It’s a perfect place for couples.

What a great experience! It was an honor to meet Chef Wilson and his team.  They pulled out all of the stops for our private event, with fantastic food and wine and most of all service.This restaurant truly deserves 6 stars.

Our first time here and it was amazing! My husband lived in France for 16 years and he really enjoyed the food and the wine selection.  He had the Lamb Sirloin and he couldn't stop raving about it.  I enjoyed the pork chop with all its flavors. We had the shrimp cargo for an appetizer and Creme Brule for desert.  Our server was amazing as well as the whole staff! We will be back for sure.
