    The onion soup is marvelous - great flavors and textures. Don't expect to look lady-like with the cheese that doesn't stop.

    A Taste of Paris in San Diego My wife and I have dined at various French restaurants and bistros in San Diego, and we are thrilled to say that this one stands out. The flavors were exceptional and truly brought us back to our recent travels in Paris. The escargot was perfectly tender and delicious, rivaling some of the best we had in France. We also shared the French Onion Soup, which was rich and flavorful, a classic done right. The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the Le Burger—absolutely mouthwatering and bursting with flavor. To end our delightful evening, we indulged in the Le Parisian Hot Chocolat, which was the perfect decadent touch. This restaurant captures the essence of French cuisine, and we can’t wait to return for another memorable dining experience.

Hearing that our escargot, French Onion Soup, and Le Burger transported you back to France fills us with joy. And, of course, the Le Parisian Hot Chocolat is always a decadent way to end a meal—such a wonderful choice! We can't wait to serve you again!

    Great restaurant. Service and food quality were wonderful. I would come here just for the escargots and Grand Marnier souffle. Cannot believe that they do a fresh souffle. Unheard of. Bumped to our favorite restaurant in San Diego!

    Little Frenchie is a breakfast tradition when we visit Coronado and the escargot are the best I’ve ever had. The Cronuts must be seen to be believed. Everything is just perfect and elegant without being pretentious.
