The ambiance is intimate, friendly, his staff always very professional and his charming wife Esther watches over the dining room.

Chef Pierre has the extensive knowledge, passion and respect of the best ingredients from local farmers markets. His cuisine is superb and his daily specials are impressive, unique and follow the seasons.
In the winter you can find his famous cassoulet, in the spring, shad roe and soft shell crabs, in the summer, paella in addition to a selection of wild fish.

I had the Oregon Sand Dabs. They were excellent. My husband said the duck breast was one of the best preparations he had ever eaten. We really love the food at Chez Pierre as well as the friendly wait staff.

One of our favorite restaurants in the valley. Superb presentation, value and taste. We had the liver and orange roughy. Friends said it was the best liver they had had in recent years.. Always enjoy the pate & fresh bread. Never disappointed!!

Our party of four senior citizens all love French food and have sampled many of the French restaurants in the Palm Desert area. We were thrilled with tonight's diverse menu, where the two guys devoured the liver and onion dish - they practically licked their plates clean : - ), while the gals thoroughly enjoyed two fish specialties. Also gaining perfect scores were the soup of the day, the caesar salad, the escargots, and several desserts. As seniors, we sought a quiet corner table. Chez Pierre perfectly accommodated that request. In sum, we each committed to 'many happy returns' to Chez Pierre.

This was our first time at Chez Pierre Bistro and it definitely will not be our last. The food was absolutely fabulous; melt in your mouth delicious. All of us selected a different entree and they were all prepared perfectly. We also enjoyed a cocktail ahead of time that was wonderful. Highly recommend this restaurant. We can't wait to come back.
