French Restaurants near La Quinta, CA

“Visiting from Phoenix & stumbled upon this spot today. We’re very happy we did! Came in for happy hour and enjoyed the French onion soup with a cab franc. We’re very picky about our French onion soup & this was excellent! We appreciate the selection of French wine. Ray, the bartender, is very knowledgeable about French wine and helpful in selecting a bottle. Great company at the bar as well. This spot is a hidden gem!“

“Yummy Benedicts and quiche, and the beignets reminded us of New Orleans. You can forget you’re facing a parking lot with the lovely fountain gurgling and the comfortable cushions for the chairs.“

“Consistently delicious with an authentic French menu, and warm and friendly service.“

“The Best breakfast we had all week in Indian Wells/ Palm springs! Delicious vegetarian omelette with goat cheese and the crepes were absolutely amazing. The owners are so kind and gracious, very friendly and loved the overall feeling of the place. Lots of regular dinners too, they make you feel welcome. The almond croissant was so good, I I wish I didn't live so far away! Can't wait to return on our next trip!“

“Le Paon is my favorite restaurant in Palm Desert. Elegant and refined, from the warm hospitality to the beautiful setting above El Paseo. Antoine Babai and Eddie Babai treat their guests like royalty.

Perched on the second floor with enormous retractable windows, the dining room combines sophistication with the relaxed beauty of open-air desert evenings. The French cuisine is classic and expertly prepared, with a menu full of favorites executed with precision and care. Le Paon delivers an exceptional dining experience every time.“

“Great service … Great good“
