French Restaurants near San Rafael, CA

“great food, good prices.“

“Have dined at Le Chalet Basque for more than 20 years. Our recent meal with lamb chops, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and split pea soup served with crumbled blue cheese salad couldn't have been better. Fresh ingredients, great wine and excellent service will keep us returning again and again.“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“Everything was AMAZING. I'm not sure why this place only has 4.4 stars (at the time of writing this), but from the atmosphere to the food and the staff, you can't go wrong.

Every flavor is matched beautifully, and the portions were light yet full of flavor. I'd highly recommend going yourself or with a group of friends!

*Note, this place was recommended by a French friend 😋“

“Marché is wonderful again! One of our favorite classics in Marin has once again become a favorite. We returned after many years when we heard that Olivier (from sadly shuttered L'Appart fame) was now at the helm, and he has worked with the staff and chef to make this beloved restaurant a very special place. From the addition of Happy Hour live music on the lovely patio, to nightly specials, the atmosphere and service are warm and friendly and the food is consistently delicious and creative.“

“Passed by on our first day in Sausalito and my wife was enticed by the French onion soup. She had that and the curry mussels. I had the lil gem salad and steak frites. Both were marvelous. The soup was the best my wife has had. The frites were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The steak was perfectly done and the peppercorn sauce added the ideal flavor. We finished with the chocolate mousse which had an amazing Carmel sauce on top.“

“If I can recap in one word: Top notch !
From the availability and kindness of the manager to the friendly and efficiency of the waiters!
Most important: the food is amazing!
As French we are very picky and found the best French restaurant in NoCal !“

“Been a fan of the Left Bank in Larkspur for years. First time I've been to Petite Left Bank. It was great. The service drinks and menu were all great. Mixed bag of tourists and locals. Fun indoor/outdoor scene. Definitely recommend going here.“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“I have eaten at Left Bank Brasserie many times over the years, as my son lives in Larkspur. Have also celebrated several milestone birthdays there. The food has always been first rate, and the service impeccable!“

“Love the place.“
