Routier Reviews
My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!
Amazing food! Try it out with a
Group.
Routier is an absolute gem of a restaurant. The French ‘routier’ (road trip stop of a restaurant) style meets Californian ingredients, under chef JP Carmona’s expert hand, makes for an incentive and delicious menu that changes frequently to take advantage of each season’s best produce and seafood. The cocktail menu and desserts are also killer. This is our absolute favorite for date night, friends or family in from out of town, etc.

Routier is a modern French restaurant that offers impeccable service and a classy bistrot decor. The cozy atmosphere, resembling a Parisian café, creates an intimate dining experience. The restaurant features a variety of gluten-free options, including gluten-free crackers. Customers can enjoy starters such as Dungeness crab pave, chicken liver mousse, and wild boar pate, as well as the Miyagi oyster special and the umami-rich Hen of the woods dish. The duck confit with crispy skin is a highlight, and the addictive chocolate cake is a must-try dessert. The service is attentive and friendly, helping customers with allergies and wine choices. The food is delicious, with the lamb standing out for its amazing braised texture. The drinks also impress, with options like the fig leaf old fashioned and the Love and Murder cocktail. The cuisine is French inspired with a twist, making each dish unique and unexpected. Customers praise the wonderful sushi, exquisite plates, and outstanding presentation, service, cocktails, and atmosphere, describing Routier as a hidden gem.
