French Restaurants near La Jolla, CA

“We met friends for dinner and what an amazing experience it was! Each course was delicious and the presentation was second to none. The service was genuine and every staff member was attentive and made us feel welcome. Can’t wait to come back!“

“The food was so salty! The lobster bisque and the raviolis tasted the same!“

“We love this bar, been dining here for over 22 years. We've seen it change from the original twice in that time, the latest recently opening so we checked it out today. We ate lunch here and the positives were it was excellent food, good drinks and great service.

It was also our own private restaurant, we were the only diners which surprised us at first. But, once we saw the both very limited and very off-the beaten-track menu choices we understood this is now a place you come when you either want Happy Hour or have a very specific craving.

The menu is oddly specific for a tourist area, none of the very usual comfort food items on this menu here; (not kid friendly in my opinion either) as an FYI). But, to be clear, our lunches were delicious!

Also, in the County of over 1120 micro-breweries, they literally only offer 1 beer on tap and no bottles. One beer! They also only offer one desert. so you either want the one or you do what we did, walk down the street and eat desert somewhere else ?.

But, we do love this hotel and it's restaurants, we've been dining, drinking and staying here for over 22 years (as locals) and still encourage you to check it out.“

“The family was about to almost eat each other when we saw the Cafe.

We needed nourishment after exploring all the sea and ocean life.

The menu is basic but did I mention they have alchol too! Something for everyone!

Kids meal comes in a cute little bag!

Staff was friendly and food came out fast.

A lot of people around us at the same thought after coming out of the aquarium.“

“My favorite French spot in town!“

“Outstanding Service. Good food Nice location“

“I have been to this location several times, however my last time I had amazing service - a very polite and considerate assistant named Neth. I was impressed by his service, because not many employees in San Diego are polite nowadays. Also, I happened to forget my wallet on the counter and I returned in half an hour, and Neth made sure to secure it for me, for which I was extremely grateful!“

“Gorgeous little spot! My daughter and I are an a mission to try all the crepe spots in SD and this is a favorite so far ! Quiet, peaceful spot, beautifully kept. Music was soft and completed the atmosphere. The crepes were unreal, I had the fig and goat cheese, my daughter had the almond butter and brie 🤤 They were divine! Definitely coming back to try more of the menu ✨“

“Five co-workers enjoyed a variety of different dishes. Highly recommend!“

“I still haven't tried anything else because I LOVE this berry salad so much. I like to add chicken. The perfect salad dressing it's delicious!!! Such a cute little spot and lots of cute stores nearby to explore in South Park.

I hear the crepes are amazing as well. Oh & the banana bread with walnuts is perfection!“

“Lovely decor with outdoor seating. The Avocado Toast was delicious 😋“

“I genuinely enjoyed my first experience here. I got an almond and raspberry croissant that was absolute perfection. I got an iced americano that was pretty good but the shots seem slightly over extracted or the coffee is a little darker than I'm used to. This didn't take away from how lovely the experience was, however. I still enjoyed the drink and pastry. Im a long time home baker and a professional barista so I can't lie that I'm picky.

The service was lovely! Other people mentioned service can be rough here but I didn't have that experience. I also work in customer service so I know how people can take exhaustion as rudeness. I think it's a lovely place to visit! This place met expectations and I would return.“

“WOW!!! What a gem of a restaurant, we ate here for breakfast on a Tuesday morning and it did not disappoint. Everyone loved what they got; Village Omelette, Denver Omelette, Marilyn Omelette, and Jerry’s Machaca. I also got the Bloodsucker Mimosa. It was the biggest and best mimosa I’ve ever had. Even my in-laws liked it and they don’t really enjoy breakfast cocktails. I would highly recommend the homemade jam that comes with the toast my husband almost licked the sides of the ramekins that it came in.“

“A great little French “bistro”. The menu is varied enough for most. I had the curry chicken salad which was perfectly flavored. Portion size was generous. My husband had a bacon panino with a suave of fresh fruit. The fruit was really fresh and ripe. We couldn’t resist dessert - they have a large display of very delectable desserts. The coffee was perfect - strong without any bitterness. Waiter was attentive without being intrusive and offered me coffee to go. I highly recommend this little gem. While we didn’t drink, the table next to us ordered several bottles of wine.“

“If you want to taste French pastries in Santiago, don't hesitate to choose this place, with affordable prices and a great environment😊“

“Cute place for some standard French cuisine. Large wine and pastry selection! The Benedict’s are delicious as well as the escargot! The high point is the delicious pastry’s ~ beignets, croissants, sandwiches, soups, cookies, cakes all to go!“

“Great Food and Friendly Service“
