About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Great for outdoor dining
Petite Left Bank is a traditional French café and bistro set in the heart of Marin County, in the charming downtown area of the coastal Tiburon peninsula. Like its sister restaurant Left Bank, Petite Left Bank is named in homage to and inspired by the iconic brasseries of La Rive Gauche, the southern or “left bank” of the River Seine which winds its way through the center of Paris. Petite Left Bank is a modern and approachable setting, and at the heart of all the space has to offer Tiburon is a French café. During the day, handcrafted dishes feature modern flavors and techniques that embrace its French European heritage and elevate the café experience. As the day turns to night, Petite Left Bank transforms into an alluring, lively, and exciting space with bistro highlights that showcase French recipes and classics. Seating along the sidewalk under the bistro lights feels like a true French cafe and the fire pit offers a cozy hangout to enjoy French bites and cocktails.

    They forgot THREE things from our order - garlic fries and two orders of asparagus. We had a 6:15pm Father’s Day reservation for the Prime Rib special, and they were already out of that as well as the lobster roll that I had hoped to get. We had to ask for a server and our drinks took forever to come. My nephew’s chicken was also super dry. Rather poor overall experience, which was especially disappointing for my husband’s Father’s Day.

    The service was unreasonably slow. Over 20 minutes to get a glass of wine? We felt unwelcome.

    We love Petite Left Bank. The space is gorgeous and the servers are attentive and kind. The food is always predictably good. Solid. French without being fussy.

    Been here for dinners and Lunches. Staff is very helpful at the start of their day as well as the end of their day, I've eaten there at both ends of their open hours. Food is always immaculate, drinks and wines are spot-on, staff is great. I'll keep coming here from San Francisco to eat French cuisine.

    The food, service, environment was great. Parking was convenient ($4.00) and it made me feel very much as if I was at the beach. I'll be back.

    We brought a guest from New York and enjoyed a delightful lunch. The Nicoise salad and petrale sole were delicious as always, and the special paella was a winner! Paco took great care of us as always. Thank you again for a great time!
