French Restaurants near San Bruno, CA

“This is such a hidden gem and I truly think it should at least get a Michelin Recommend rating. This restaurant offers the best value in the Bay Area with a fine-dining tasting menu at under $100. Each dish, from amuse-bouche to dessert, was perfectly executed. The duck confit was tender and so crispy (I am drooling just thinking about it). The chocolate souffle with coffee ice-cream is so well balanced. Will definitely be back!“

“Mijote was an interesting, hip, involved dinner on a bustling Thursday. Reservations were definitely required (glad we had one) but we did still have to wait a bit before being seated. Service throughout was solid, a mix of dedicated servers, folks behind the food bar, and other staff mixing in and out. The dishes overall were definitely quality, but ultimately failed to spark too much engagement from me. The bread was frankly burnt, the duck was heavy, and the fish not as exciting as I expected. I came away from Mijote feeling like I've had a similar meal at many similar upscale restaurants in the US. Not a huge negative, but something to keep in mind as you compete for a reservation. Wine pairing was great though!“

“fantastic little restaurant - excellent wine list and great beef bourgogne“

“Excellent place for lunch or dinner. The first time I entered a few days ago as a surprise because I didn't know the place and I got carried away by my curiosity. Today again I came out more than happy.The relationship between price and quality of food and service is perfect. The people who work deserve all the respect and recognition. Fresh and very good quality ingredients, treated with respect and head. The burgers, especially, are spectacular. Competent and very attentive service.In a word: absolutely recommended site.Also, a detail: the entire place is open and visible to customers. Always a very good sign and a lot of confidence, when there is nothing to hide. Congratulations!“

“We recently held a 16-person birthday dinner here, and the experience was flawless. Julie, Oriana, and the entire team were incredibly warm and attentive, making sure every guest felt taken care of. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was delightful, and the pricing was very reasonable for such a high-quality experience.
I have eaten at the restaurant many times, but this was the first time with a larger group. We feel so lucky to have this gem in the neighborhood.“

“Best crepes in SF! They do catering too:)“

“My wife always asking me to take her to eat special French food especially on holiday. The restaurant feel quite exclusive and atmosphere because it is like trying to get concert ticket. They make you standing outside for quite a long time. My wife find out I pay a lot of US dollar for the small food. Taste is ok. Wine very good. She stop asking me to take her to French food now.“

“Really good food, very reasonably priced, with outstanding views if you sit on the patio. The waitstaff is outstanding!“

“De bonne qualité pour un restaurant français à SF. Des deux convives, le Français que je suis peut en parler. Bonne qualité des plats, quantité suffisante, pas toujours présentés comme en France mais peut-être pour s'adapter aux consommateurs locaux (par exemple, escargots servis sans coquille, mais le goût est le bon). Grand choix de vin à la carte et sur présentoirs mais chers. L'atmosphère est agréable, en niches, jolie décoration. Le chef et propriétaire que nous avons juste croisé est un peu « raide », il ne vient pas discuter quelques minutes pour voir si tout va bien, s'enquérir des avis. Nous avons confirmé que c'était le chef en demandant au serveur. Le service était excellent, très souriant et adapté au rythme de la table (pas tout en 20 mn comme parfois !). Donc à recommander avec quelques bémols. Au moins, c'est français et le rapport qualité prix reste abordable. J'y retournerai volontiers.“

“great service and great food!!“

“It's always a great experience. I highly recommend it.“

“Excellent place! Everything we tried was outstanding.
Amy was exceptional — a true professional, warm and welcoming, and she made us feel right at home.
We enjoyed the gnocchi, the green salad, the black cod, and the soup of the day, and every dish was wonderful.
The wine list is also excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“Good wine selection and friendly bartenders“

“Great place to have dinner, great service and the food is delish“

“Service, atmosphere and cuisine are impeccable. Doesn’t look like much on the outside but it’s exquisite once you’re in. We celebrated our anniversary there and it did not disappoint. Live the shiitake and lobster dish, and the sea break sashimi too. All the food and drinks were great!“

“Great service, delicious food and beautiful decorations.“

“Went to lunch there today Food very tasty and this looks like it would be a fantastic Happy Hour Meet Up!!!!“

“We had the five course tasting menu each and the food was really delicious and very cool to sample so many different things. 20% tip is compulsory (+7% extra fee for something else?) which is potentially why the servers were a bit intimidating and didn't feel the need to be friendly... They mumbled through telling us what each dish was so we couldn't actually hear what a lot of it was, especially as they weren't looking at us when talking to us. Service was super quick however, and they were very prompt with filling up waters. They then asked to tip on top of the included 20%, when all they had done throughout the meal was glare at us as if we were an inconvenience! Also, and this is extremely minor but I ordered steak and a dessert, and both times the server assumed they were for my boyfriend and we had to awkwardly swap (he just had some fruit for dessert).“

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area“
