About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

Inspired by the birthplace of the original Parisian brasseries along the Left Bank of the Seine River, Left Bank Brasserie is an authentic Parisian-style brasserie by Chef Roland Passot. Left Bank pays homage to the joie
de vivre that is synonymous with the Left Bank neighborhood in Paris. Guests are invited to step into
French culture, in a vibrant, social atmosphere that captures all the charm of traditional brasseries
and iconic alfresco dining of France. An all-day menu features authentic French cuisine utilizing
seasonal, local and organic ingredients, and consists of iconic lighter fare such as oysters, tartare and
prawns provençal, in addition to heartier classics like coq au vin and beef bourguignon. Inspired by the

    The Left Bank in Larkspur is a family favorite of ours. It's a little bit of Paris in Marin County. Something about this place makes every gathering of friends brighter and more convivial. We will return again and again! This time we were on the outside patio for Bastille Day lunch. Great ambience, even an accordion player! Gaspar, our server, is one of the best I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. He is warm, kind, skillful in service, a true professional. My only complaint, and it is a minor one considering the Bastille Day crowd, was that my nicoise salad was overdressed, and the potatoes were over-cooked. Really, a minor offense. Thank you, Left Bank, and thank you, Gaspar, for your warm and festive welcome, time and again. Collette

    On a warm night in Marin the best experience is dining at Left Bank Larkspur .. the food has improved since our last visit and we were pleased that there is also a soecial menu now ! The chicken was great and the steak w/ fries ( if you ask for rxtra chrispy fries !) are both pleasers . I miss the frisée salad but the butter lettuce is ok .. we are fans of the escargot .. all service was upbeat .. the terrace was fun ( lots of cite dogs) We long for a Peach Melba dessert but that was pre pandemic .. we loved the lamb sandwich and years ago the Quenelle. So glad Left Bank has become a culinary treasure again!

    It is always the best. Love the greeting Yuri always gives to patrons. I wish they didn’t charge for bread or substituting fries for salad with the sandwich. But I guess I have gone there for too many years to not remember when those niceties were given freely.
    Left Bank LarkspurResponded 7 days ago
    Thank you so much for your continued support over the years, it truly means a lot to us. We're delighted to hear that you always enjoy your visits and that Yuri’s warm greeting stands out.
