About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Neighborhood gem
  • Great for fine wines
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.

    Excellent food and service from all the staff and especially Olivia. Great values on the happy hour menu. The featured champagne, RH Coutier, Grand Cru Ambonay, Champagne was outstanding and definitely worth the modest price. We started with the Burgundy escargot which were large, delicious and especially flavorful as was the onion soup gratinee.  Next we had a half Frenchie dip in which the beef was very tender and flavorful and enhanced by the au jus, but the baguette is definitely the star of this sandwich. Finally, we ended with the crème brûlée- perfectly prepared and an excellent end to our meal. Love the table side coat stands and the notebook with the cheque- an unexpected and surprising touch. When I’m on Coronado Island again this is definitely a repeat.

     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!
