From the OpenTable editors: It could be the red leather banquettes, cheese counter, or silver buckets of wine, but everything about Little Frenchie screams Paris. Fuel your idyllic getaway with bistro classics like crepes and moules frites, very drinkable glasses of French and Californian wines, and a breathtaking seven-layer chocolate cake with Chantilly cream.

    This place is a great spot for brunch in Coronado. The service was excellent, but the food felt a bit short considering the price. I had a quiche with undercooked pastry, while my girlfriend’s French toast was really good. If you’re looking for something sweet, I recommend the desserts here instead of the savory options.
    Little FrenchieResponded 3 days ago
    Bonjour et merci for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're so glad you enjoyed the warm service and that the French toast hit the mark—c’est toujours un bon choix! We regret to hear the quiche didn’t quite reach the same level. Our kitchen takes great pride in every detail, and we’ll be sure to revisit this dish to ensure it’s as parfait as possible. And ah, the desserts—la vraie star, non? We’re thrilled you found them worth recommending. Next time you visit, we’d love to guide you through more of our sweet selections, crafted with a touch of French indulgence. À la prochaine—we’ll be here with coffee, croissants, and a warm welcome!

    My wife have been coming here from Arizona almost every year since we have been married. We used to go to the Brigantine but the food and wine menu changed and was disappointing. Lil Frenchie advertised at one point “drinkable wines” and they were right! The food and ambience added to our enjoyment and year after year we have never been unsatisfied.
    Little FrenchieResponded 5 days ago
    Bonjour and thank you so much for your kind words. We're truly honored to be part of your tradition during your visits from Arizona. It means a lot to hear that our food, atmosphere, and wine have made a lasting impression. We’ve always aimed to keep our wine list accessible and enjoyable—whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just looking for something easy to love. “Drinkable wines” has always been more than a phrase to us—it’s a promise to keep things unpretentious and delicious. We’re so glad you've continued to enjoy your time with us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for many years to come. À bientôt!

    Perfect breakfast/brunch on Coronado! Decor is beautiful and inviting, staff was attentive and knowledgeable and the food was fantastic. We started out with a cronut and a cruffin bc why not? (flavors change monthly and were both amazing). Then I had the herb omelette and my husband had the smoked salmon tartine. Loved both entrees - and they came with a nice salad too. If you are sick of buffets come to this little gem! It is just a short walk from Hotel Del Coronado.
    Little FrenchieResponded 3 days ago
    Bonjour and merci beaucoup for such a lovely review! We’re ravi to hear you enjoyed your visit from start to finish. From the first bite of the cronut and cruffin—mais oui, why not indulge?—to the herb omelette and smoked salmon tartine, it sounds like you truly embraced the spirit of a relaxed French morning. Our team takes great joy in creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere, and it means the world to know it came through. And yes, no buffets here—just thoughtful, seasonal dishes served with care and a touch of joie de vivre. We hope to welcome you back soon for another beautiful brunch near the sea. À très bientôt!

    The sommelier, Jess, was outstanding! Very knowledgeable and kind. Spent a good amount of time discussing wine. Delightful for sure! Our server, Olivia, did not steer us wrong. Great suggestions and again, spent time getting to know us which was much appreciated. The food from the cheese tray to the Poulet Roti was delicious. We loved everything about this restaurant, so much so that we booked again for another night!!
    Little FrenchieResponded 5 days ago

    The French onion soup is always a treat, as is dessert! I had the chocolate-pistachio pastry.
