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!“

“The atmosphere was great. The food was amazing. Everything we ordered was great. We had the Caesar “Twinkie” salad, which the croutons are to die for. Not your regular croutons. We had the pork chop. Never knew pork chop could be so tender and juicy. Then we were pleasantly surprised by “the hamburger” for dessert. Looks like a hamburger, but definitely not a hamburger- the ice cream and the warm caramel cake hit the spot.“

“Great all around dining experience.“

“Legitimately inedible. I hate posting this, because we were excited to be here. Cocktails were decent (solid at best), but food has been inedible or forcibly eaten as we just want to leave and don't want to ask them to remake it. The beef was cold and the potato was the worst latke I've ever eaten. The surprise guava on the creme brulee was tough and similarly inedible. Will stop at in n out for a half decent meal on the way home.“

“You can feel the chef in the sauces and the finish of each dish… a true dedication to what the first bite can do for the experience of fine dining and the cuisine… bravo“

“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.“

“Wonder bistro with the best selection of breakfast/brunch and lunch entrees. Ordered the NY steak chilaquiles and the Denver omelet. Chilaquiles was delicious. The medium steak with over medium eggs made the dish very tasty. My wife loved the Denver omelet and mimosa. Fluffy eggs wrapped around fresh vegetables. The hash browns had a good balance of crunch and soft potato center. The blackberry sangria mimosa was very tasty. The place is a nice start when visiting Coronado.“

“Patisserie Melanie has the best pastries. They are fresh, are flaky, buttery, awesome goodness. Goes great with my coffee, perfect as a pick-me-up, or a yummy dessert. Also, I love that Patisserie Melanie offers a take and bake option for their butter crossiants. Everything is prepared for you - just take home and whenever you're ready to bake them, take out of the freezer, thaw, and follow the detailed instructions that is provided with your order. The butter crossiants are a hit with my family every time!“
