French Restaurants near Sausalito, CA

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“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!“

“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.?“

“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.“

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

“Very intimate atmosphere, excellent food and attentive service.“

“Came here for dinner on a Saturday evening with a very close friend.
We were warmly greeted by the very attentive staff. This family-operated restaurant has a very warm ambiance, conducive to conversation and fine dining.
Christie, the host, made us feel very welcome and comfortable throughout the evening. She patiently reviewed the menu, without rushing us to a decision.
For appetizers, we had the Escargot, the Liver Mousse, and the French Onion Tart, all expertly prepared with renowned Chef Bruno's innovative takes on these classics.
Our entrees were the expertly-prepared braised Oxtail signature dish, and the Sea Bass, the daily special also meticulously cooked to perfection.
We finished our great dining experience with delicious Chocolate Mousse and Creme Brulee.
Overall, this was a complete and perfect dining experience! Will definitely return, and will also highly recommend to friends and colleagues.“

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

“Great burgers, delicious desserts, and awesome staff!“

“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!“

“One of my favorite spots in the city!! Love it so much that whenever a friend comes to town, I take them here. The happy hour special is amazing! The staff is always super kind, attentive, and accommodating.

I ordered the mistro salad, penne with chicken, and upgraded to banana bread pudding for dessert. The salad is very well balanced and the dressing to lettuce ratio is perfect. I generally order the penne with chicken - but I’ve tried the ravioli, chicken Marsala, and black pepper fettuccini. Of course they have fresh parm to top it off! The banana bread pudding is the best I’ve ever had - it’s slightly crispy on the outside, has nuts, and a lot of wonderful caramelization. All of it is great!! :)“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Exceptional dining experience at Quince for dinner. The food is beautiful & delicious. We were surprised by chicken on the menu but it was the best we’ve ever had. The white asparagus & crab dish was another favorite. Details were perfect, service on point, each glass, knife, and plate carefully curated. The design & florals were lovely. The wine pairing was exceptional and the NA pairing was the best I’ve had anywhere. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“great food, good prices.“

“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!“

“great service and great food!!“

“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.“

“Off of Fillmore Street in a less busy part of the shopping district, this is a lovely corner restaurant where you can have a conversation or business meeting. A varied menu. Recommend the smoked trout salmon and omelets. There are a couple of vegetarian options. Service is friendly and helpful. Outside seating is lovely.“

“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.“

“As always the chicken was fantastic. The only issue I have is for a party of three being assessed an automatic 20% tip on top of the standard SF 4% plus payment toward their benefits seems absurd as it does noting but foster poor service. The server seems to have been hiding most of the time as we found it difficult to order drink refills. Needless to say I would not add additional gratuity for the level of service we received. The business needs to simply increase pricing to cover the required SF benefits and not show it on the final tab.“

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

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

“An amazing selection of culinary experiences with fantastic food and libations, and better service. A San Fran must!“

“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. 🤦‍♂️“

“We came in for lunch on a Thursday afternoon and we’re treated to the most delicious Chimay Premier Red Ale, a magnificent warm, lamb and bacon sandwich with home made French Fries presented in a lovely cone, and of course delicious moules frites. The highlight of our meal, however, was our delightful waitress, Tracy, who sprinkled lovely suggestions and made our leisurely luncheon a pleasure. Well prepared food, a welcoming ambiance and gracious welcome by the staff. 5/5“

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

“If you can get a table in this place, you are a very lucky person because all the dishes are fantastic.
You can still hope for a table on the sidewalk if the weather is clement.
All pastries and savory dishes are of the highest quality and the highest level. You cannot go wrong here!!!
Of course, the price is correlated to the quality but it is all worth it!“

“An exceptional dining experience“

“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!“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“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“

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

“Great place. Very peaceful“

“Amelie San Francisco is a charming and intimate wine bar that perfectly captures a cozy, relaxed San Francisco vibe. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with dim lighting and a welcoming energy that makes it ideal for both date nights and casual hangouts.
The wine selection is thoughtfully curated, offering a great mix of familiar favorites and interesting discoveries. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to make recommendations based on your taste, which really enhances the experience.
Small plates pair beautifully with the drinks and are simple yet flavorful, making it easy to settle in for a long, enjoyable evening. Service is friendly, attentive, and never rushed.
Overall, it’s a lovely neighborhood gem that consistently delivers a great experience—definitely worth visiting again and again.“

“Everything I've ever had from here has been amazing, just scrumptious perfection. I used to live a block away and would go there more often, I've moved a bit further away now but returned today for lunch and sweet treats. The guava puff pastry I got today was sublime, the ganache brownie is my standby go-to, literally the best brownie I've ever had in my life. The soups are always exquisite. Just nice people, everything clean and fresh, a pleasant little community experience around the corner from where I grew up in my family home of 40 years. Coming to Patisserie on California always feels like coming home.“

“I had a glass of wine, olives, and a savory gluten-free crepe for an early dinner. Loved everything! Great place for introverts who want to read since the waitstaff/owner doesn’t bother you every few minutes. A French-speaking customer ordered food to take home so this place must be authentic. Give it a try!“

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

“Good wine selection and friendly bartenders“
