French Restaurants near Monterey, CA

“A great way to start a rainy Sunday morning. Sharing 1 savory /1 sweet crepe with your partner in crime. Absolutely delicious.“

“An unassuming European bistro with beautifully-done dishes that will leave your senses delighted and your belly happy! Every dish that we had was delicious — escargot, FOS, lasagna (special,) gnocchi, profiteroles (special,) and Pistachio cake — and we couldn’t stop raving about the lovely, airy texture of the handmade Italian gnocchi and the deep richness of each of the dishes that we tried. A favorite now in the area, that every local should try! The owners, Frederico and Sabrina were such gracious and beautiful hosts, and they made us, and every guest in the restaurant, feel as if we were treasured family coming together for a meal. A must-eat-at establishment!“

“Loved the food, Teo our server was exceptional. Cozy yet romantic. A must to enjoy when in Carmel.“

“L'Escargot is consistently a top notch restaurant. It is our go-to restaurant for a traditional French dinner. The food is always fantastic. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The service is impeccable, with the same waitstaff year after year. The ambiance is definitely a cozy French restaurant, and the ambiance adds to the charm of the restaurant.“

“This is pure perfection. The choices from the 3-choice menu were ideal, particularly if you like to share bites of different flavors. These are a true specialty, so if you've never had a perfect soufflé, and you're not holding an airline ticket to Paris, then this place in Carmel is the place to come. Merci!“

“The best restaurant we’ve been to since we relocated to the US. I’ve eaten in Michelin restaurants before, Chez Noir is clearly up to the standard. From the beginning to the end, no mistake. We’ve had an amazing gustative time. And the people working here and highly professional and nice.“

“Beyond amazing. Service ambience and food was impeccable“

“My wife and I had the special of the day, and I ordered a Napoleon pastry, I loved it! Wow delicious!

We had both dine in and take out.

Vegetarian options: From what we saw, experienced, and tasted, it's definitely worth looking at their menu online.

Dietary restrictions: While I don't have dietary restrictions, my wife was able to order a cappuccino with I believe almond milk. It appeared as though they had many options.

Parking: Ample parking, easy walk into the facility.

Kid-friendliness: Nice clean, safe, open, bright environment.

Wheelchair accessibility: We used parking for those with disabilities, very close to the door, super easy wide entry way that seems easily wheelchair or powerchair accessible.“

“Great food service and atmosphere“
