French Restaurants near Sausalito, CA

“Great bistro by the water! We arrived shortly after opening on Saturday and were seated immediately. We chose the covered outdoor seating. It can get chilly so bring your jacket. There's also plenty of indoor seating.

The burger was delicious and the shoestring fries were great with the aioli. The pain perdu was so soft and yummy; fantastic french toast with berry compote. The croque madame was great as well with a nice side salad. I love bread and all the bread from these dishes were stuff my face good.

There's a dedicated valet parking lot for $5. The surrounding parking spots are all permit parking until you get to the bridgeway.

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

“Sublime French cuisine in an awesome location. Great “secret” spot in SF.“

“I felt like we were back in a Michelin starred restaurant in Provence eating here. I loved sitting at the counter and watching the sou chefs prepare and dress the dishes. It was the first time since then that we got to enjoy Monkfish. A rare find! And cooked beautifully with a light curry sauce. We did the 4 course option and were stuffed after, it was a lot of food but well priced! The strawberry gelato desert with geranium foam was a memorable and perfect ending to the rich meal. The staff was attentive. We will definitely go back as they change their menu daily. Truly an unexpected gem to find on a random corner of the mission.“

“Excellent services the hard beer 🍺 is good and the margarita“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“Exceptional fine dining experience! Attentive knowledgeable owner, chef, and staff. Amazing cocktails and well prepared French food.“

“Delicious and exquisite meal. We are very supportive of vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free diets and we are very grateful for that. The attentive staff made the experience even better. This was the most interesting and creative meal I have ever had in my life. Highly recommended.“

“Exceeded my expectations! I’ve been wanting to go here for a month or so… and just had a lovely lunch with my aunt and son. A new neighborhood favorite!! Came just before the lunch rush on a Saturday and sat right down. Friendly charming Service, bright large windows full of sun, colorful fun art murals and intense flavors in food. Burger with Brie, bacon and caramelized onions stole the show, but smoked salmon egg crossiant was tasty and salad with house cured jamon was killer with huge portion. Can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu soon“

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

“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!“

“Our family had a delicious meal at Bistro Central Parc on Xmas Eve. All staff were so kind and attentive. The sticky toffee pudding dessert was an amazing way to end a wonderful meal and the restaurant is in a lovely neighborhood and has a cozy and classy feel to it. Fully recommend!“

“Our lunch at Aquitane was delicious and our waiter was friendly and attentive. We shared the dishes we ordered: fried cauliflower, roasted fig salad, crab stuffed mushrooms, braised eggplant, and cassoulet. Everything was fresh, flavorful and perfectly prepared.“

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

“Was it worth a few months for this reservation? I hate to admit it, but yes. Even after you’re seated, get ready to wait an hour for your soufflés to come out. But when they do, you’ll be in heaven. The soufflés were warm, light, fluffy and rich. We tried the salmon & asparagus, mushroom, and chocolate soufflés. All of them were perfectly done and delicious.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Marche is my family’s favorite restaurant in Marin - we come here for all of our special events, and it never disappoints. The food is absolutely delicious every time, and is only out matched by the kind and attentive staff! The ambiance is unique - elevated but cozy, with a beautiful patio and blankets if you get cold! Truly this place delivers from start to finish, and has for over a decade. If you’re thinking of coming here for a special night, or to make an ordinary night special, I highly recommend you do!!“

“Excellent meal! The Zuni Café feels like a 'local joint' where folks come back again and again. My salad of heirloom tomatoes, roasted nectarines, gooseberries with goat cheese and dill was outstanding, as was my pasta with cherry tomatoes. My husband' had the always terrific and his salmon was perfectly cooked and delicious. The dessert of berry passion fruit sorbet with ginger cookies was amazing - so good!“

“great food, good prices.“

“We're so embarrassed that we haven't been here in years. The boulevard is better than ever, the end of the season corn & crab ravioli was delicate and sweet. We shared the mussels to start and while not a big portion a perfect thing to whet our appetites. The duck confit with farro was rich and not heavy at the same time. I'm still not sure how they made the olive oil cake so unbelievable moist; but it was! Scrumptious. Cocktails were to die for. The raspberry gin fizz was so good we had to have a Second round. We were surprised and happy to see a waiter we had known pre-covid still there and still a perfect server-thank you Jerry!“

“great service and great food!!“

“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!“

“Brioche French Toast,My Favorite super delicious!“

“Quince is utter perfection. A beautiful restaurant. As a solo diner, I sat at the 4 seat bar. Service was extraordinary, every dish and glass of wine was explained. And the food is tremendous - from the small pre-meal tastings to the small post-meal dessert tastings, everything is delicious and perfectly prepared. The tasting menu included caviar, fish, pasta, lamb and figs. The wine pairings were just right. A wonderful lunch ever.“

“We visit ISA several times a year, and we’ve always been delighted with the food and service. Their classic dishes are a welcome relief from other restaurants attempts to be unique but failing the good taste test.“

“lo máximo de crepas que he comido me encantaron“

“Been going here for over 30 years, nice Quiet and great food“

“The ingredients are very fresh, the restaurant atmosphere is very good, the service attitude of the staff is also very good, and I had a great time eating“

“I cannot tell you how much I love this new French restaurant! It is like having a bit of Paris in Marin. The food is amazing - the best croissants outside France. The salads and crepes are divine. The service is excellent, especially Stella!! I am so happy we have this new restaurant!!“

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

“An exceptional dining experience“

“The service, neighborhood, community integration with current events reflected in their menu. Today I experienced a fusion of Italian Heritage Culture thru food in their special event menu as we watched the parade at a curbside table.“

“Petite Left Bank in Tiburon is a total gem! 🇫🇷✨
Gorgeous French bistro vibes, amazing food (the beef bourguignon and moules frites were incredible), and the friendliest staff. Perfect spot for a sunny lunch or cozy dinner. Feels like a little slice of Paris by the Bay.
Highly recommend if you’re in the area!“

“Had a great experience at Maison Nico today! I ordered a Pain au Chocolat and matcha, and both exceeded my expectations. The Pain au Chocolat was beautifully made - so light and delicate with those perfect flaky, crispy layers on top that you expect from a well-crafted pastry.
What really stood out was their matcha. Finally found a place that serves it the proper way - no added sugar at all! It's refreshing to taste the pure, earthy flavor of quality matcha instead of the overly sweet versions you get at most cafes.
I was fortunate to walk in without a line, but within several minutes there was a steady stream of customers forming a queue. That's always a good sign that locals know this place is worth the wait. The quality of their pastries and attention to authentic preparation definitely shows. Will be back to try more items!“

“We were greeted by multiple staff. Owner or host who was French was lovely and made sure we were seated wherever we wanted. Food was good, was flavorful, tasty, drinks were strong. Overall a good ambiance with jazz playing outside, conversations going etc.“

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

“Thank you chef Josh! Excellent experience!

Service: 10/10 we arrived early and were seated right away. The host was friendly and greeted us genuinely. Our server brought water, olives and almonds and extra olives for my wife with almond allergies so she can try the yummy olives. Amazing detail to my parties food allergies and checked to make sure the food was safe and had alternatives to accommodate.

Food: 10/10 the food was delicious. French influenced California cuisine. Fresh high quality ingredients. Sauces that enhanced the flavors and a balance of umami in all dishes. It was great that one person can have the prefix menu and others at the table can order al a cart. You can also order just one dish from prefix menu. The duck was perfect, the 3 cheeses with toast paired perfectly with the Bordeaux. The smoked trout was very well seasoned and balanced nicely with the pickled cauliflower. The hanger steak was super tender and flavorful with no dairy!!!
Wine paring is excellent. The selection of French wines is reasonable and great for food pairing.
I think the josey baker sourdough beats tartine country bread! The warm
Chocolate cookie with ice cream was delicious, the polenta cake with cream and rhubarb was shockingly good!

Ambience: 8/10 I love the simple open decor. Bar, dining and kitchen blend together. It wasn’t too noisy because the ceiling pads dampened it.

Price: $$ (great value)
Overall, an amazing neighborhood up leveled cuisine in a casual setting. We will be back with friends!“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“

“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!“

“Great place. Very peaceful“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“If I'm in San Francisco, it's a mandatory stop for me for an evening or late-night bite!“

“I stumbled upon Amelie for my birthday last year and have been back so many times and even celebrated my engagement there as well!! Bart, Fredo, and the rest of the staff are so fun & accommodating. Great spritzes, good happy hour, and fun vibes !!“

“Love the place.“

“This was our first dinner at Bistro La Chaumiere and we really enjoyed it. For appetizers we tried the prawns in tomato sauce and the bacon, onion and cheese crepe, and for our entrees we tried the beef bourguignon and a side order of fries with aioli. We had the profiteroles for dessert. Everything was delicious and we look forward to returning.“

“What an intimate special dinning experience !“

“Love this place. It’s always good and fresh. The Nutella/ strawberry 🥐 croissant is yummm, a must have.“
