Best French Restaurants in Del Mar

Love this place, food and the ambience was fantastic but what we loved the most was the service 🤗 Thanks to Beshim Trust ( inside joke as I couldn’t get his name right) 😂 and the Amaya staff for excellent service 👏 Will definitely come back in the future 👍

What amazing date spot. We love Tara Monsod’s Animae and her unique come packaged in an exciting new way. Maybe best gnocci we have ever had!

Got reservations for seats at the bar. There is a tasting menu, as well as a separate bar menu, mostly small plates. Cocktails from menu are twists on classic cocktails, and they were truly extraordinary, as well as the off menu cocktails we ordered, and we've sampled some of the best. Food sampled at bar: Crudo, Tartare, Pain et Beurre, and Gougere. All were phenomenal. Service at bar was very attentive and knowledgable, they know what they're doing, and they do it well. Cool vibe and music playing from reel to reel player in bar. Very open, busy kitchen with frequent calls from cooks, "Oui, chef!" Great for foodies and cocktail nerds. Pricey, some may not appreciate the value.

Mr. A's treats you like you are the only one they are there to serve. Food and drink are exceptional, not to mention the sunset view and continuous airshow. Excellent for a special occasion. Israel our server is tops.

The sole was superb. The only thing that could have made it better would be to serve it with boiled peeled new potatoes with parsley and a touch of butter. One comment. Your food is always excellent, but it would be good to have a few items on the menu that change much more often to provide more variety to habitués like us.
