About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for outdoor dining
Petite Left Bank is a traditional French café and bistro set in the heart of Marin County, in the charming downtown area of the coastal Tiburon peninsula. Like its sister restaurant Left Bank, Petite Left Bank is named in homage to and inspired by the iconic brasseries of La Rive Gauche, the southern or “left bank” of the River Seine which winds its way through the center of Paris. Petite Left Bank is a modern and approachable setting, and at the heart of all the space has to offer Tiburon is a French café. During the day, handcrafted dishes feature modern flavors and techniques that embrace its French European heritage and elevate the café experience. As the day turns to night, Petite Left Bank transforms into an alluring, lively, and exciting space with bistro highlights that showcase French recipes and classics. Seating along the sidewalk under the bistro lights feels like a true French cafe and the fire pit offers a cozy hangout to enjoy French bites and cocktails.

    We brought a guest from New York and enjoyed a delightful lunch. The Nicoise salad and petrale sole were delicious as always, and the special paella was a winner! Paco took great care of us as always. Thank you again for a great time!

    The lobster Benedict delicious and their hollandaise sauce is the best. They make the very best onion soup. The hash with egg is extremely delicious as well. You really can't wrong though...

    Left Bank Petite was accommodating in finding us a booth table where we could enjoy the meal and had delightful conversation w/o much effort. Food was good, service was first class. Overall, a pleasant experience.
