French Restaurants near La Quinta, CA

“My far away the best French restaurant in the valley. My wife and I have been coming here for the last five years since we moved in La Quinta. Food and service is always been consistently good. However, this past year it has been exceptional. The service, ambience and food have been even better than in the past. The menu is a traditional French menu. Everything on the menu is worth having. The hostess was very friendly last night. We have always asked for Evan as our server. He was out sick. We met Ray for the first time last night. Sublime service. Friendly, knew the menu inside and out. Enhanced our experience. The only complaint I have is that they will be closing for the summer in May and will not reopen until sometime in September. We will for sure be back in the fall. “

“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.“

“I've dined here a few times and find the food very good with many French inspired dishes and more Americanized versions using traditional French ingredients. They also offer take out and have a coffee and pastry counter. Decor is quaint French bistro, they do have a few tables out on a narrow patio.“

“Very authentic French cuisine will be back!“

“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“
