French Restaurants near Carlsbad, CA

“I've only eaten here once, but it was fantastic. As you might suspect, this is one of those places where you're going to pay quite a bit, and you're going to do it specifically to be somewhat outside your usual comfort zone. Portions are small but not unreasonably so. Flavors are going to be complex and rather experimental, even unconventional, so only come here when you're in a mindset for being adventurous in eating. That will ensure you have a positive experience and get the most out of your adventure. During my meal with friends I learned that I can absolutely love rhubarb and sweetbreads, two things I've not liked before. But this place turned them into new magic. The halibut and wagyu beef were to die for, but not in any way that I have ever tasted before. I wasn't a huge fan of a bone marrow appetizer (although friends loved it), so the servers gave us a complimentary round of champagne. Pretty fair, if you ask me. Speaking of drinks, the bartenders have as many tasty and unique tricks as the chefs do. Order a gin gimlet even if you don't usually like them. I was hooked. Remember, adventure and new flavor experiences are the reason for coming here, not just to have food made from the best ingredients. Decor is romantic and sort of mid century mod, spacing is cozy but not tight, and the atmosphere is vibrant, perhaps even a little loud. I will definitely be coming back for more new flavors.“

“I ate here about a year ago and forgot to write a review. Here's the thing. I am afraid to go back. It was the best meal top to bottom I have had in 50 years. I spent 20 of those working in the restaurant industry. I am concerned that they will not be able to replicate the experience. The server ( French Accent) was a psychic. He was only there when wanted. Knew the menu down to the details. Scallops and whatever they were served on was perfect. Crazy dessert with pistachio something or other. Anyway, thanks for the finest dining evening I have ever had. Sorry for the late review.“

“Wow! This place is amazing! Great service, Great ambiance! And dont even get me started on the food! amazing is an understatement! Not to mention the location is walking distance from the ocean and there is plenty of parking! I will definitely be coming back!“

“Great coffee selections, excellent service. First visit there I went solely for coffee. I didn't know they served food. Asparagus omelette was the special of the day. Going back to sample their menu. If it's as good as their coffees, I'm in for a treat!“

“This place is very nice and laid back. Nice fountain outside you can sit under the trees and relax.There is no bathroom in the cafe, you need to get the key and walk back into a different part of the plaza. It wasn't too difficult to find but not readily accessible if someone else has the key.The outside tables aren't always very clean but it's a relaxing spot. The coffee and the pastries are delicious. Lots of little birds that sing and look for scraps they add personality and a charm to the location.The trees drop small flowers that will fall in your hair if you sit under them.“
