About this restaurant

Neighbourhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

Little Frenchie is a chef-driven approachable bistro modeled after Parisian neighborhood cafes. Enjoy our rotating menu of Provencal classics, our immense selection of unique cheeses imported from France and our extensive wine collection from both France and California. We take pride in the imported and local ingredients we use; our produce is sourced from regional farmers, and our seafood from local area fisherman.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Matt Sramek

MICHELIN Plate2022

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.

As always, everything was great! Olivia, our amazing server, made multiple recommendations throughout the evening, and they did not disappoint. I love the newly remodeled inside and front patio of the restaurant. We have been to Little Frenchies many times, and have enjoyed it every time. We will return.
