French Restaurants near Solana Beach, CA

“My wife and I dined here tonight for our 5 year anniversary. The staff is super nice and the service is amazing. The walkways are a little tight it feels a bit packed in - but they are trying to optimize for seating space and comfort. Our server was John he has worked at the resturante for over 20 years. He was really funny he told us a joke that make me laugh really hard. He said you know the 3 rings of marriage don't you? The engagement 'ring'. The wedding 'ring'. And finally the suffe-'ring'! Haha. The owner came by and said watch this place is going to be packed. He said I wish Monday was a Sunday so we could be packed again. The food was great the service was top notch. Trust me my wife is super picky. Not a cheap dinner out. In terms of a special dinner - or celebrating something nice you will be pleased with the result and price. Again my wife is extremely picky (tries to be GF) and she was very happy (she said it feels like we are on one of great cruise trip dinners with celebrity! that's a very high compliment for her - very rare - she loves a good cruising experience!). We will be coming back again. Thank you Pamplemousse Grill for making my wife happy!

(the place was busy - we risked going without a reservation but they scooted us into a nice booth - and took care of us)

(also really interesting art on the walls - my wife loved this also - and took pictures)“

“the coffe and the pastries. i need to go back and try more delights from the menu.“

“An absolutely amazing dining experience! Went at high tide (not King Tide) but still special having the waves come up to our window! It was our 21st wedding anniversary and they did everything to make it special. Special table right on the window with waves up to our window. Custom personalized menu and glass of champagne to toast. Stefano was so classy and treated us like royalty. No rush at all and excellent service all night. There were a few mistakes made like timing and steak a little undercooked but they were so apologetic and went way above and beyond service to correct and make things right (way more than necessary) The lobster bisque was probably best ever and our Poached Butter lobster and Waygu Ribeye were spectacular. Everything was fantastic and how they took care of us over very minor mistakes, was stellar! We will be back for other special occasions and highly recommend for special dining experience.“

“Great friendly service and food!“

“I have had several treats from this cafe and, without exception, they have all been superb! Obviously made from the finest ingredients and always fresh. The team leader, Stephanie, is such a delight and is so thoughtful and kind. Thanks for the delicious goodies!“

“Excellent evening. Attentive and professional staff from every person, servers, to personal waiter. Ambiance and entire venue was superb. we chose an early reservation and think that is the best option for a quiet evening. The restaurant is a splendid place to dine.“

“Had the chance to taste Guillaume's pastries when he was still a student... Can't wait to see what they'll be serving us! :)“

“Great place! Highly recommend!“

“We found this place at random when looking for brunch, and it looked good. I’m allergic to canola oil, gluten, and dairy, so I always appreciate better quality places. They did not disappoint! They used olive oil so I didn’t need to worry, and had a lot more choices. The menu is really well marked for food allergies. The Shakshuka was flavorful and hot, gluten free bread was ideal for dipping in the sauce, salad was fresh. Very nice place, will need to try some of the other menu items next time.“

“Came this evening & wrote the review before I’d even left so I didn’t forget!
WOW not only was this service exceptional, the food was absolutely amazing! I would give this a 100 stars if I could. Thank you thank you thank you!! I don’t live close but will be recommending this place to everyone that I know is visiting & if I return this will be the first place I’ll be coming for food.“

“This is the best Champagne bakery in San Diego with great service and food!“
