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.

    Beautiful place, the service is lacking. When I came in for my reservation I was not greeted with a welcome just blank stares. The service was slow no one came and ask how was the meal. You can tell they only prioritize previous clientele that frequents the establishment.

    We sat outside by the heater. Great sidewalk bistro vibe. We split a cheese board... a port Bleu, a truffle goat, and a hard sheep. With apples, dried figs, pecans, honeycomb, and berry jam. Yum! We also shared a Nicoise salad (great!) and Moules frites (perfect). All with a $60 bottle of white Bordeaux! Very cute! Thank you, LF, for a great date place.
    Little FrenchieResponded 3 days ago
    Bonjour and merci beaucoup for such a wonderful review! We are absolutely delighted you enjoyed your evening with us—there’s nothing better than a cozy night under the heater, a beautiful cheese board, a crisp bottle of Bordeaux, and a little French charm in the air! It sounds like you made the perfect selections, and we’re so happy to hear everything from the Nicoise salad to the moules frites was just right for your special date night. Thank you for choosing Little Frenchie to celebrate those moments—we can't wait to welcome you back again soon for another soirée under the stars! À bientôt, The Little Frenchie Team 🥂✨

    We were so surprised how much we enjoyed Little Frenchie! We had no idea why we had not tried it before tonight but from the Endive Salad to the Short Ribs everything was perfect! Our only disappointment was the fact that we could not enjoy our favorite Aperol Spritz!! We will definitely be back!

    Steak tartare was very good. Cheese board featured generous amounts of cheese along with honeycomb, candied pecans and figs. French dip one of the best I've ever had. Wife had gnocchi and they were fantastic. 3rd time at Little Frenchie - twice for dinner, once for brunch. Excellent - one of our new favorites.
    Little FrenchieResponded on April 21, 2025
    Merci beaucoup for your kind words and your continued visits — it truly warms our hearts! We’re delighted you enjoyed the steak tartare and that our French dip made such an impression — high praise, indeed. And we must agree, the gnocchi are a little slice of heaven, non? Your appreciation for the cheese board, with its sweet and savory accompaniments, tells us you know how to indulge like a true gourmand. It’s an honor to become one of your new favorites. À très bientôt for your fourth visit — we’ll have a table ready and waiting!

    Excellent service, quality food well prepared and presented. Prices align with location. Brunch was perfect. Dinner very good. Excellent onion soup lots of cheese, flavorful broth. Excellent steak au poivre, short rib bourguignon rich and generously portioned. Grand marnier souffle a bit sweet but great with an espresso.
    Little FrenchieResponded on April 21, 2025
    Merci beaucoup for your thoughtful and detailed review! We're delighted you enjoyed both brunch and dinner with us. It means a lot to hear that the steak au poivre, short rib bourguignon, and onion soup left such a positive impression—classics we take great pride in. And of course, the Grand Marnier soufflé pairs beautifully with a bold espresso, très français! We hope to welcome you back soon for another charming experience. À bientôt!
