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!“

“Just had another amazing meal at March. Olivier runs a tight ship, and his Chef knows how to put out amazing food. Best Casoulet I have had in a long time, reminded me of real in-country French fare. Deserts were fantastic, and drink menu expansive.
Merci!“

“Had a really lovely meal at this place. The wait staff is attentive, down to earth and low stress. The food is delicious. We had a big family group so I got to taste the oysters, pain (it’s sourdough) & beurre, chèvre, pâté de campagne - all were delicious. For my main I had the confit de canard and it was tender and flavorful as it should be. Nearly everyone else had hamburgers and there was not a single bit left on anyone’s plate. We had a vegan at the table and she was happy with the vegan burger as well. I don’t think she tried the chickpea fries - somehow they disappeared before she could get any. Dessert was crème brûlée and the red wine soaked fruit du bois. I enjoyed everything about this place, not the least of which was the easygoing atmosphere and location. Worth every penny!“

“Had such a lovely meal this past Friday. I love the current menu and the options - particularly the goat cheese salad. Service was fast but not rushed at all and Mike made a birthday celebration super special without even being asked! Can’t wait to make this a regular spot.“

“The water view on a sunny spring day was so wonderful. Great location, I was able to park on the side of the street, and we sat outside. I had the egg sandwich- overall was great, especially the presentation, the bread and salad were delicious the big chunk of egg could use more sauce. the view and atmosphere were well worth it.“

“Food was good. Onion soup- I gotta say was delicious. Flavorful broth, chunky onions with a piece of bread/cheese broiled on top. Ordered steak frites. Steak was cooked perfectly. Frites were under seasoned and didn't have the herbs as described. Hericot green beans were also cooked perfectly. Apple crisp dessert was delicious, not too sweet. Stephanie (Manager) was super friendly. The only thing they can work on is their service. We were seated and waited for about 10 min before our orders were taken, while a couple seated after us were attended too almost immediately. Another couple was told it would be about 10 min before a table opened up, a couple came in and were seated at the open table meant for the previous couple. 🤦‍♂️“

“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.“
