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.

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.

     the host did an amazing job of seating us in our own area of the restaurant so that we had a more private quiet brunch. The ambience was very French styling, felt like we were back in Paris. The wait staff was attentive yet not pushy the food arrived fairly quickly and was superb!

    Food was great and server (Kimber) was wonderful. I had the herb omelette, a side of fries, and the Thin Mint cronut, all were delicious!! The hostess marked me as a no show for my reservation with Open Table which was odd.
