French Restaurants near Orange, CA

“Beautiful dining experience. The service and food were excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Dining at Hobbit was like being invited to a fancy friend’s home for a gourmet meal, warm, inviting, and upscale, with a touch of home. We will be back.“

“If you can find a parking spot, this place is totally worth it. There are tons of items on the menu that looked appetizing to me, and I went for the tuna sandwich which I still think was a good pic but I wonder if I could have had better. Also, my eyes were bigger than my stomach. The food was significantly larger than I expected and the cup of soup was a bowl size for everyone else.Overall super happy. Very satisfied.“

“Beautiful cute little restaurant. The owner is from France and very proud. He is very sweet. Could not recommend this place more. The food was delicious. If we lived here, we would be regulars. Everyone should come support this amazing restaurant.Vegetarian options: Amazing options great place“

“We started out with the Roasty Toasty and Bourbon Caramel lattes (house made syrups!) and I literally cannot decide which one I like better! We paired that with a cinnamon roll to start! I then shifted to bottomless mimosas and they were hot on it making sure I was well taken care of. We got the croque madame for sustenance and it has the perfect ratio of cheese and ham. I want to go back every day!“

“Located in the center of the Brea Mall Food Court. Best crepes in OC, as the owner says! He's a very friendly guy and fun to talk to! The menu has both sweet and savory crepes. I ordered one named the "Romeo and Juliet". Sweet and delicious!“

“3 companions and I dined at Populaire Modern Bistro in South Coast Plaza on 2/21/24 and I ordered the prix fixe menu. We bought a bottle of wine separately. The PF menu was $65 per person and well worth it. Everything was spectacular. The blending of flavors with the heirloom carrots was unique. I'm not normally a huge fan of tartare normally, but it was really flavorful. The beef cheek was melt-in-your-mouth tender and even the rice pudding - which I can normally take or leave - had some wonderful, unexpected flavors. Don't be fooled by the "bistro" label. This was definitely a cut above the normal bistro fare of steak and frites or Croque Monsieur.Our server was warm and efficient. She was friendly enough to stop and talk but took her cue from us, which was much appreciated. The location used to be part of the Corner Bakery chain. It was remodeled in part, but it's in South Coast Plaza mall so not a ton of atmosphere. Once you taste the food, you won't care!“

“What a great place ! Just push the door and you are in France. It starts with a little French Market where you can find all French specialty food that you really miss (when you've been away from home a long time) such as cookies like Pepito, barquettes, BN, Bonne-Maman jam, crème de marrons, drinks like Orangina and some really nice wines. But you will find also soaps, kitchen linen and other cute little accessories for your kitchen. I was impressed with the large selection of food they offer. Cakes, danishes, breads, everything made with authentic French recipes. It smells so good and looks so delicious that you want to eat a little bit of everything, very hard to make a decision. I opt for a flan, very simple cake that I didn't have for ages and I took a Brie Walnut sandwich to go for my lunch. The bread is so perfect soft and crunchy I could have eaten 2 more of those !!! They also have a large selection of salads, fresh fruits and few hot dishes too. You can eat inside or choose to seat outside where they have a huge patio with nice red umbrellas. I could spend a full day there by myself eating the best French food I had in LA area so far and look at the crowd walking around the display cases and wondering like me : "what am I going to eat today ?!?" The owner Laurent is very friendly and welcoming (so is the staff) and is really passionate. It was nice meeting and talking to him. Congratulations for this beautiful and yummy place ! I can't wait to be back“

“I have been celiac my entire life. Finding a restaurant that not only caters to a gluten free diet but also has impeccable service, what a treat! We drove up from San Diego county and Maldons did not disappoint. We are already planning our next visit.“

“I just wanted to give The Cellar a shout out for supporting the fundraiser for Golden Hill Elementary school in Fullerton with 2 generous giftcards. Not only is this restaurant and craft cocktails AMAZING but the owners support their community!If you have never been, please go and splurge on this incredible dining experience... it is worth it! Neat history that I just learned... the same architect that designed Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland also designed The Cellar.THANK YOU for being a landmark here is Fullerton and supporting your community!!!!“

“I had dinner here for the first time and I was not disappointed. The atmosphere was great, food was amazing but the service was top notch. I really do enjoy when the feel of a restaurant makes you feel like you're in a different place. Can't wait for my next visit!“

“This place is phenomenal in terms of wine list, quality, service. It has amazing dishes and the chef, who often times would come out to check on the dining experiences, knows his ingredients and seasonal offerings. The only drawback is the strip mall area doesn't fit with the ambience. Seriously, top notch.“

“What an absolutely MAGICAL experience for my family and I! We went with a small group of business owners and our kiddos and from the moment we stepped through the Club 33 doors the service was impeccable, the 3 course meal was to die for and the ambiance was perfect! It's def all and more that you dreamed it would be! Oh and the cocktails were ahhhhhmazing! Unique, delish and fresh!“

“Small coffee shop within high rise business building. Lots of sitting outside and parking is 2 hour complimentary with validation. Tried instant tiramisu and ice americano. Liked both and instant tiramisu is more lukewarm desert than coffee. Like this “

“Amazing Valentine’s weekend dinner! Six courses made for a most Indulgent Aphrodisiac’s menu created by Chef Tony. The plating was exquisite, service very attentive, and relatively low-carb, very copicetic with my diabetic precautions. The French Chardonnay we had enjoyed was lovely, paired well particularly with the scallop crudo, oyster and lobster dishes. It was also a pleasure to meet and chat with Yassmin, the co-owner and wife of Chef Tony. We are planning to dine here again, next time for The restaurant’s High Tea, which is offered on Sunday afternoons.“

“At Moulin, I ordered the almond croissant, Mille-feuille, and a cappuccino. The croissant was 5/5! Very airy and crispy with a good amount of almond filling. The Mille-feuille cream filling was too sweet for my liking but the pastry part was very crispy and nice. The cappuccino came with a little piece of dark chocolate which was a sweet touch.This cafe is sort of hidden in a small outdoor plaza with a number of home decor stores, a couple restaurants, and little shops amongst a business area. I like the location as it's not crowded and has a number of outdoor seating, there was a live performer on the Saturday I went too! There is plenty of parking.“

“Upon walking in, you'll most likely get a whiff of the hot butter from the sizzling plates from diners. If they have their doors open, it's most likely due to the dining room being smokey from the plates. They offer a variety of meal options but I think they're mostly known for their sizzling plates and beef dishes.Our group had the com bo luc lac (shaken beef with rice), com suon cuu nuong sot bo toi (lamb chops with garlic butter sauce and rice), and com ribeye sot bo toi (ribeye with garlic butter sauce and rice). Even though we ordered all dishes with the red rice, there were other options to choose such as white rice, fries or bread. I'm not exactly sure what's in the red rice to even describe it. I wasn't a big fan of the red rice but to all their own.The lamb chops and ribeye were presented on a sizzling plate with a side salad with vinegarette dressing. Lamb chops were tender and ribeye lacked flavor. The star of the meal was the bo luc lac. It was also tender, shaken with plenty of sauce, and had chunks of garlic. It was absolutely delicious! The plate also had a side of watercress and onions that complimented the dish well. It was so good, our table had to order another. Portion-wise, I'd say it's a single serving. You may not want to share it with how delicious it is.Service was great, too. Now, I saw another reviewer mention this, so I will too. Just FYI, their drinks are served in small styrofoam cups. They do charge $0.50 for water. It's not a deal breaker but I guess some people may not like it. I'm assuming it's the charge for the cup itself.“

“Food was delicious! Had breakfast today and want to come Back to try lunch. Will was our server and he was excellent!! I will be back just for his service! He was so kind, attentive and sociable! He cares about his customers. You can tell he loves what he does!“

“I had a great experience picking my order today. My cousin speaks very highly about this place and their fried fish so we order our food to go. We got the ca nuong (fried fish), egg rolls, cha gio (Vietnamese fried spring rolls) muc rang muoi (fried squid), Tom tang muoi (shrimp) and beef salad. They told me it would be 30 minutes for them to make the order for pickup and it took that exact time. The inside of the restaurant is very nice and the mirror they added inside make the space look bigger. The roasted fish was delicious and all the other food we got as well. Everyone was happy with the selections. They also have a tent outside for dining but it doesn't seem like it was being used when I came today.Vegetarian options: They have a decent amount of vegetarian options here.Parking: There a decent amount of parking spots hereKid-friendliness: This place is kid friendlyWheelchair accessibility: This place is wheelchair accessible“

“What a wonderful experience. Very intimate ambience that was shared with friends and family. Be prepared, the dishes are brought out in paces, I arrived hungry but once I understood, I was able to relax and enjoy my company and when the each plate arrived, we would all take notes of taste, texture and try to spot out any familiar ingredients. Say hello to Chef Michael as their kitchen station is behind glass preparing our dishes.“

“delicious food. all fresh ingredients. reasonable prices. outside dining is a beautiful courtyard with a fountain centerpiece - a tranquil oasis. the wait staff makes me feel welcome and at home. I have severe food allergies and the chef has been very accommodating.“

“I would have given 1 star because the bread pudding was frozen but the person that was there (I don’t know if he was the owner) was nice when I told him about the quality and condition of his food. It was completely frozen but had good flavor. They have good coffee with very good aroma and the other pastries were 8 out of 10, again the pastries didn’t feel fresh and the Nutella cruffin was really good but has way too much Nutella for my taste. Hope they fix the problem with the food as they reheat their bread.“

“First visit: Really enjoyed the cozy ambiance and super friendly Mari! Her given name is longer but we didn't ask how to spell it. The food is next level delicious! We tried the Warm Wish in all it's glorious sweetness and the Le Moulin Rouge loaded with mouth watering salmon. Yummy! We'll definitely be back soon for more of this delicious goodness! Great job, Mari!“
