Le Coq is James Beard Best Chef finalist Tara Monsod’s new wave French steakhouse.

Bright touches and hyper-seasonal products ground the menu with San Diego style, while nods to chef Tara’s Southeast Asian background are interwoven throughout. Located in downtown La Jolla in a 1930’s historic building with exposed brick walls, steel trusses, and a barrel-vaulted ceiling. Into this storied shell is inserted a posh 1970’s diner club.

We went for my birthday with my parents and in-laws! It was our first time but we heard good things. I’m so happy we tried it out! Phenomenal food and service! I am pregnant so I couldn’t drink, but the non alcoholic options are actually really good! Thank you!

Everything we ordered was delish. We started with the bread and butter which is always great. We then had the bistro and celery salad, always a great choice, very tasty. The pork croquettes are delish. The swordfish, chicken,lamb and short ribs are all super delicious, the potato cakes with egg roe are awesome, the sautéed mushrooms are super tasty. Finally the cheesecake and pistacho desserts are a great finally.

Took my wife here for her birthday on Friday and had a great experience. My wife ordered a filet mignon cooked well done. It did come out a little too well done so they had to put in another one. However, filet mignon’s are not meant to be cooked well done so we get it. At the end of the day, they made everything right the food tasted amazing And the staff was quick and helpful ! Highly recommend
