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.

    The French onion soup is always a treat, as is dessert! I had the chocolate-pistachio pastry.

    Little Frenchie is one of my favorite restaurants in San Diego, especially for brunch! The ambiance is amazing, you truly feel like you are in a French cafe in Paris. The food is outstanding, everything I’ve ordered is so good!! Highly recommend the cheese danish, it’s so yummy. Also the quiche is amazing! You can’t go wrong with anything! The service is excellent and everyone is very friendly. Can’t wait for my next brunch there!

    We were celebrating a special occasion and shared that when we checked in. We were treated with such wonderful service and attention! In addition, the food was extraordinary! This was by far the best French food I've had since last being in Paris several years ago! In fact, the trout was the BEST I've ever tasted! We will definately return! I can't wait to taste more of their dishes!!

    Went here for a date with my girlfriend and we loved The little Frenchie. The food was amazing and the prices were honest. Humble dishes done right and the experience only made better by outstanding service. Order the bread first then thank me later.

    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.
    Little FrenchieResponded 7 days ago
    Bonjour, Thank you sincerely for taking the time to share your experience with us.

Please accept our sincerest apologies—every guest is important to us, whether it is their first or fiftieth visit. We would love the opportunity to make this right. On your next visit, please let a manager know you are coming—we would be honored to welcome you personally and offer you a complimentary pastry to sweeten your experience. We hope to have the chance to serve you again with the true Little Frenchie hospitality you deserve. Merci beaucoup for your feedback—it helps us grow and improve every day. The Little Frenchie Team 🥐✨

    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.

    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 🥂✨
