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.

    Wonderful Birthday Dinner with Outstanding Service We came to Little Frenchie to celebrate my wife’s birthday and had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was excellent—my wife’s filet mignon au poivre was perfectly cooked and delicious. I had the cassoulet, which was rich and satisfying. Our son loved his French dip, and his girlfriend said the burger was amazing. We started with foie pâté, truffle fries, and a fresh baguette—all fantastic. Dessert was a Grand Marnier soufflé and vanilla crème brûlée—both perfect. The service was superb all around, but a special shoutout to our server Olivia, who was absolutely top notch. She was warm, attentive, and made our evening even more memorable. We’ll definitely be back!

    It was an overcast day, but my friend and I wanted to eat outside. What could be better than French onion soup from Little Frenchie!?!? Yes, it was messy. I think soup should be served with scissors. But it was delicious! I ordered the baguette and it came with a delicious butter. A little pricey, but worth the experience!
    Little FrenchieResponded 1 day ago
    Merci for embracing the cozy charm of a gray day with a bowl of our French onion soup! We love your idea—perhaps a pair of golden scissors for that perfect cheese pull? We're delighted you enjoyed the baguette and butter as well. Quality ingredients and a true French experience are always worth it. À bientôt for another delicious moment!

    First time eating here. Pomme frites with Mornay sauce was good, albeit a salty for my taste. Moules Mouclade was fresh and tasty. Cassoulet with great, but recommend sharing as serving size is generous. Definitely worth another visit.
    Little FrenchieResponded on March 23, 2025

Your feedback is much appreciated—since our frites are made to order, we’d be happy to prepare them without added salt next time. We look forward to welcoming you back for another taste of France soon! À bientôt!
