French Restaurants near Escondido, CA

“We really enjoyed the combination of the prix fixe menu (Italian that night) with the wine and other drinks. The portions were perfect size with all the courses, and the preparations were fresh and intriguing. Service was top notch. It all came together as a delightful experience. We plan to come back and try other menus as they change.“

“Staff was great, food was excellent, loved the art work.“

“Mille Fleurs was the perfect spot to celebrate our mutual birthdays! Service was both understated and perfectly timed. The food was, as it always is, perfection. My husband started with the Osetra caviar (with really lovely buckwheat pancakes and some potato crisps); I had the lobster bisque (perfectly seasoned, adorned with chives and a swirl of cream). I got the diver scallops (with a divine saffron sauce, over spinach and sauteed mushrooms); he got the lamb chops (grilled to perfection, over couscous and green beans). We shared a delightful lavender creme brulee, and were surprised by individual birthday cakes and candles in wine glasses. He had a perfect Grey Goose dry martini, I had a split of champagne. It was lovely, unhurried, quiet enough to converse without shouting, under a lovely spring sky on the patio. Cannot recommend this enough- it's the perfect splurge, and is reliably both elegant and exquisite.“

“Today, I went to the cafe at around 2 pm. It’s open until 7 pm but all the chairs were up on the tables. When I asked if they were closed I was told they were just washing the floors. Who puts the chairs up and washes the floors 5 hours before closing…so unwelcoming. The coffee was tepid also. I simply don’t understand semi-closing the cafe mid-day.“

“First time experience was great. No restrooms though.“
