French Restaurants near Fountain Valley, CA

“Love this place for breakfast very tasty menu❤️“

“What a wonderful experience dining here at Moi Cuisine. The food is so delicious. Delectable and colorful. We had five-course dinner but felt like we ate eight courses. Beautiful ambiance, very, and truly enjoyed the good foods and conversations. My friend and I finished a bottle of wine. We left a generous tip to the staff as they worked so hard: constantly moving. Can't wait to come back again next time.“

“Fine dining, excellent service, amazing food“

“The Duck Confit Spliff is a great representation of the Vietnamese & French cultures “wrapped” up all in one dish. And for a more traditional & fun way to eat it, you definitely have to use your hands. My only wish was for a little more duck in the spliff.

With the Ebelskivers, the concept was again brilliant. The garlic emulsion creates an intense garlic flavor but in a light and airy way. But like takoyaki, I wish there was more escargot in the batter to remind me more of that chewy feel from the traditional dish.

The surprise star of our meal was the Royale with Cheese. The wagyu had great flavor and char. And the sesame seed bun held up well for this napkin-required burger. But those pickles were amazing nuggets of necessity to add balancing acidity to the richness of the dish.

We definitely want to try the Duck Breast, the Spanish Octopus, and the Prix Fixe Meal on future visits. A final thanks to Chef & Curtis for the friendly service and explanation of the menu.“

“Un bout de France à Newport. Merci encore pour votre passion et dedication!“

“Since I arrived as as student in NYC in 1983, simply the best. Per my father's suggestion.“

“Amazing spot- serving probably the best burger I’ve ever had.. Again and again 🤤“

“Delicious and authentic French food with great service.“

“Amazing Valentine’s weekend dinner! Six courses made for a most Indulgent Aphrodisiac’s menu created by Chef Tony. The plating was exquisite, service very attentive, and relatively low-carb, very copicetic with my diabetic precautions. The French Chardonnay we had enjoyed was lovely, paired well particularly with the scallop crudo, oyster and lobster dishes. It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with Yassmin, the co-owner and wife of Chef Tony. We are planning to dine here again, next time for The restaurant’s High Tea, which is offered on Sunday afternoons.“

“Fabulous dinner and ambiance plus the he most delicious Rocklet!!!“

“Go for it place for fresh croissants & relax with a cup of rose cardamom chai.✨✨✨“

“Great ambiance! Very friendly staff that was very accommodating to my kids. Best part was the delicious food! We will definitely be back. 😊“

“our special place to celebrate excellent service Delicious“

“The team at Pandor made a fantastic Chocolate Croissant and Panini. The iced chai latte was ok in Flavor but not outstanding.

Pandor is located in a shopping area on 17th Street in Costa Mesa. It's tucked at the back of the Parking lot with other good places to get food.
Pandor has fantastic baked goods and cakes. The staff is friendly and fast. It seemed like they were a little understaffed at the time I visited, there was a "stressed" vibe in the air.
The interior is functional, it reminds me of chain bakeries in Europe. Nothing too comfortable, the sounds echo inside the bakery and it makes one not want to spend too long inside. The outside seating area is neat, there's plenty of seating but it was all taken while I visited.

I love Pandors baked goods and the Lunch and Breakfast options are all fantastic as well. It would be great to update the interior to something more aesthetic and less echoing but, this doesn't take away from the outstanding produce!

Parking: Parking is plenty“

“Beautiful dining experience. The service and food were excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Dining at Hobbit was like being invited to a fancy friend’s home for a gourmet meal, warm, inviting, and upscale, with a touch of home. We will be back.“

“My daughter discovered Maldon’s a couple of months ago and loved it. Today it was her restaurant of choice for her birthday (four family members are gluten sensitive).

I can’t say enough good things about this place! We had the French onion soup, BLT, hamburger, Eggs Benedict, vegetable medley sandwich, Popovers and Cinnamon Rolls and wine. Everyone was exchanging bites with each other because it was all so good. It was so wonderful to be in an environment where I didn’t have to grill the staff on what was truly gf. The staff was attentive and friendly. Adam who was bartending was very engaging and sent over tastes of different drinks he was making. He’s the nephew of the owner and a fountain of information. He told us they have an exclusive proprietary flour that they use. Overall the service was not particularly fast; but it was Saturday and we were there to enjoy ourselves. The singing guitarist added to the charming ambiance.

I was hoping to try their chocolate chip cookies, but they were out. Guess I’ll have to come back again and again until I’ve tried everything!“

“I brought my sister here for her Bachelorette weekend. We booked the secret room for the evening. We decorated the room, lit some candles, and then one of the hot servers turned out to be the manager, and we had to blow out the candles. They did, however, try to keep our vibe going and brought over some electric candles ✨️

Staff is pretty here, they're all friendly. Bathrooms are interestingly decorated. Boys bathroom has only one room.

The food is WOW. We had steak tartare as a starter, super yum. The French onion soup isn't good. The bourguignon is AMAZING (don't expect it to have noodles). The chicken crepe 😍 The escargot was also delicious. All of the sweets we had were very good - both crème brûle flavors were incredible.

Decor was so cool & very witchy. I recommend having a witch themed-attire to really amp up the energy.

The drinks were creative and tasty. I drank Cerridwen's drink. I didn't realize I loved cherry until then. Their long islands are dangerous ! So watch out.

At some point in the night, Alyssa (our waitress) ran up to tell us that a tarot reader was there. He made the night very interesting and magical.

We made friends in the bathroom, sat down with others at the bar, made more acquaintances, and all the while staff was so much fun and brought the vibe. They made this one of the most memorable nights.

At the end, our responsible friend ushered us outside where we came face-to-face with the manager who had us blow our candles out. We challenged him to a battle... a dance-off. I don't know how many of us did it, but honestly it was ridiculous and amazing. When our Uber arrived, he ensured we were getting in the right vehicle and safe.

The whole night was amazing and we loved how involved/fun the staff was. The whole night felt playful like we were all already friends with everyone there.

Highly recommend. ✨️“

“An outstanding experience at Crêpes Avenue ?

The place is simply perfect: a warm and welcoming atmosphere where you immediately feel at ease. The crêpes are not only delicious but also beautifully presented, a true feast for the eyes! Every detail is carefully crafted, and it shows in every bite.

A big thank you to the staff for their kindness and infectious smiles. They make the experience even more enjoyable with their welcoming and professional service.

If you're looking for a place to enjoy amazing crêpes while receiving impeccable service, look no further. Crêpes Avenue is a must-visit!“

My dad had to eat 2 banh mis because it was too good 💕“

“todos los platillos están deliciosos y muy bien preparados, la atención es de lo mejor, y los muffins son deliciosos, recomiendo el de almendra. gracias por la atención Yoseli“

“The cakes and tarts are great, but unfortunately they don't have an oven and don't heat up their croissants! Which is a bummer because cold and stale aren't the best. But other pastries like mille feuille and lemon tart were incredible. Best mille feuille I've had in OC! There's no place to sit inside the cafe, but you can take your food and pastries to the general complex with portola etc, and there's lots of open seating spaces there“

“Got an invite to Club 33 from a friend of a friend. Lunch service. Bucket list complete.

They call a day before to go over details including dress code (lunch hours: jeans ok without rips or tears, tennis shoes ok if in good condition, no slide in sandals [they must wrap around the heel], no tank tops, and no bra straps showing [our friend wore a tank dress and her bra straps were showing so she put a cardigan on but the staff said all she had to do was take her straps off and tuck her bra straps into her dress]). You find out where the entrance is.

Upon arrival in New Orleans square, you ring the doorbell near an obscure door and are escorted into a tiny lobby, then out to an enclosed patio. Fresh cold or hot towels are provided as well as chilled water. The patio is beautifully decorated and you have a few minutes to relax in various wrought iron bistro sets and take photos. There’s a spiral staircase leading up to the restaurant where our group took many photos. There is an elevator for those unable to navigate stairs.

After 10 to 15 minutes you are escorted up to the restaurant. You are greeted there and brought to your table. The entire time being escorted you learn Disney history/trivia by the host and also rules (no photos of people outside of your party).

The dining experience—out of this world. They have an extensive cocktail and wine menu and serve those first, giving you lots of space to relax and enjoy. We walked out to the various balconies to take pictures over New Orleans Square after ordering our drinks. The balcony area is set up for tables for two—very quaint and romantic. The menu is a 4 course prix fixe menu with lots of options for the two vegetarian friends we were with. Each menu item and even drinks on the menu are extensively explained and come with a story of Disney’s history. They pace the meal expertly, never leaving you feeling rushed. The bread basket is incredible—soft, warm, fluffy, savory. Each dish was expertly created and left our tastebuds wanting more. The pictures and menu descriptions do not do the food justice. Even though you get dessert, they also give each guest two Club 33 macarons to take with you.

There is a members only lounge we did not see.

We stayed three hours. We were never asked to leave. They allowed us to take our time and enjoy ourselves taking photos and shopping for only-at-Club 33 merch in the entry lobby.

Truly, it was the whole experience, the uniqueness, the exclusivity, and the oh-my-gosh-I-can’t-believe-I-was-invited feeling that lasted in my heart leading up to the moment and still lasts today. °O°“

“OMG, Best service ever!!!! The food was amazing!!!! Thank you so much Joslyn for making my night very special. Me and my family will be back.“

“Yummy ! Every time we’ve been there it’s been really great. Good sandwiches and yummy. Coffee drinks“

“I came here with my 3 daughters from Corona. I loved the atmosphere. It's outdoors, not a big line. Many dessert options to choose from. I had the chicken pesto sandwich. We most enjoyed the outdoor seating and having a relaxing time with our dessert and drinks.“
