Bonjour Yall! Hehe! Yesterday evening, my family and I were invited to attend la Madeleine's VIP Grand Opening celebration in honor of Buford, Mall of Georgia opening.
The la Madeleine is just down the street from or house, so I see us visiting here often. This restaurant use to be TGI Fridays, and I remember the times of having family dinners there, having drinks at the bar with Mr. M, celebration dinner after I purchased my Toyota RAV 4, celebrating the New Year a long time ago with Mr. M, good memories that I'll cherish forever. Now, new memories will be made at the la Madeleine.
What a huge difference in the design and look of the la Madeleine when we stepped inside; it's like we walked into a beautifully decorated French cottage, the design team did a good job, you get that authentic feel of the countryside of France.
The girls and I walked around inside the restaurant, checked out the delicious dessert bar, and found a table so we can sit down and get started sampling some of la Madeleine's authentic French-inspired recipes.
The accordion player was the perfect touch to set the mood, such a pleasant atmosphere. The restaurant felt so warm and welcoming, and my favorite, great place to dine with families.
Waiters and Waitresses came around passing out different dishes for us to try out. The food was a tasty delight. Looks like Mr. M and I found another place to have our day dates.
Guess what! Grand opening is today!!! Make sure to visit during breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Bonjour Buford!
French Bakery Café Makes its Debut in the Buford Community
BUFORD, Ga. – La Madeleine Country French Café, the acclaimed, authentic country French bakery café, announced today the opening of its Buford location on March 31. Known for its French cuisine handcrafted daily with fresh, seasonally inspired ingredients and comfortable, welcoming atmosphere, la Madeleine’s Buford café is across the street from Mall of Georgia.
Located at 1795 Mall of Georgia Blvd., the 5,200 square-foot café is the Dallas-based company’s fourth café in Georgia. The locale also features enhanced seating options, which now include custom-built tables and a large outdoor patio. A large private dining room is also available for special events.
“The Buford community has welcomed la Madeleine with open arms and eagerness,” said John Cahill, president of la Madeleine. “We look forward to opening here with equal anticipation, as this announcement represents a significant step in our growth strategy.”
The Buford la Madeleine bakery café is the first of 10 locations that R. Hakim Corp., the San Antonio-based ownership group, will open throughout Georgia as part of a multi-unit agreement. Continuing to build momentum for la Madeleine’s franchising initiative, Buford’s new bakery café further solidifies the brand’s presence in the state.
Kyle Hakim, vice president of R. Hakim Corp., is the driving force bringing la Madeleine to Buford. Hakim is a longtime fan of the brand and has enjoyed visits to la Madeleine in his hometown of San Antonio. la Madeleine launched its franchising program in 2012, and R. Hakim Corp. quickly began the process of growing the brand throughout the Georgia market.”
"It's clear that la Madeleine guests absolutely love the food and atmosphere…and we share the same sentiments. From the get-go, we've been impressed with the loyalty the brand commands," said Hakim. "The brand attracts a wide variety of consumers, casting a net across many generations. It has extraordinary appeal and there is not another French bakery café that comes close to offering the same experience in Georgia."
