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.

    Little Frenchie is one of our favorite week-end brunch places. Delicious food, excellent and friendly service, wonderful 'French' ambience and last, but certainly not least, a very warm shout-out to Olivia who always makes our visits so enjoyable and memorable. I couldn't recommend this restaurant more highly.
    Little FrenchieResponded today
    Bonjour Peter! We are honored to have become your go to spot for brunch. It is so great to hear that Olivia has made such a wonderful impression during your visit. She really is a gem. We appreciate your patronage and feedback so much. Looking forward to welcoming you back very soon!

    Small intimate atmosphere with lots of French touches. Brunch pastries were large enough to share and the herb omelette couldn’t have been better if it was in Paris. Friendly staff.
    Little FrenchieResponded today
    Merci for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed our little slice of France. It warms our hearts to know the herb omelette brought a taste of Paris to your table—what a wonderful compliment! Sharing pastries is such a delightful way to start brunch, and we’re thrilled you found them just right. Our team loved having you and is always here to make your experience as friendly and welcoming as possible. We hope to see you again soon for another très délicieux moment. À bientôt!

    Had heard good things and we were not disappointed. Had the baguette w/salted butter, steak tartare, asparagus gratine, roasted half chicken, and cassoulet. All were outstanding. Service was spot on. They have a very limited full bar, with a few martini selections, but only vodka. Wish they had a nice gin! We enjoyed it so much on Friday evening that we made a reservation for brunch early Saturday morning. Had the croque madame and the smoked salmon tartine. Both came with a very tasty salad and were delicious. Finished with a cronut, which was amazing. Highly recommend Little Frenchie!
    Little FrenchieResponded today
    Merci beaucoup for your lovely review! We're so happy you enjoyed your Friday night with us. From the steak tartare to the cassoulet, it sounds like you truly indulged in some of our favorites. And we're thrilled the service hit the mark too—c'est magnifique! How wonderful that you came back for brunch the next morning! The croque madame and smoked salmon tartine are such classic choices, and finishing with the cronut? Très bien! We look forward to hosting you again!

    The food was all exceptionally good. Unfortunately, they were very under staffed and that showed in the poor service. I’d still recommend the place. Just hope everyone shows up for work!!

    Had NY brunch with my husband. We ordered the cronut of the month (apple, brown butter, and walnut), cappuccino for each of us, the croissant Benedict and the short rib hash. Everything was great except for a hiccup with the Benedict dish - the eggs were way over poached. Our server was amazing and brought out fresh poached eggs and extra hollandaise to correct the problem. The cronut was just yummy and the short rib hash was tender and so rich and comforting and the eggs were poached perfectly. We had reservations and were sat inside at a small table for two crammed in between two other parties of 2 and that would really be my only complaint. The French bistro has perfect ambience and food and service was fantastic.

    Merci for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cronut, cappuccinos, and short rib hash. It sounds like a wonderful start to the new year! We apologize for the hiccup with the Benedict, but we’re happy to hear our team was able to make things right with fresh eggs and extra hollandaise. We strive to get everything just right, and your understanding is much appreciated. We also appreciate your feedback on the seating. We’ll certainly keep that in mind as we look to create a more comfortable experience for our guests. It’s fantastic to hear the ambiance, food, and service were all to your liking. We can’t wait to welcome you back soon for another delicious meal!

    Sit outside if you can. The din from the kitchen makes it very unpleasant to eat inside. All manner of shouting, crashing and banging! The food was very good (we had brunch). Service was poor with a long wait for a table (with our reservation) and another long wait for service. Food was dropped off with no silverware so we had to steal set-ups from a vacant table. Good thing, because the waitress did not stop by to see if all was ok until we had finished eating. Still, she asked if everything was tasting ok, oblivious to the absence of any food on our plates. We’ll go elsewhere.
    Little FrenchieResponded today
    Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the food, but we’re sorry to hear about the service and noise issues you experienced. Your comments about the kitchen noise are important, and we’ll look into ways to address that for a more pleasant dining environment. We also apologize for the long wait times and the oversight with the silverware and service. That is certainly not the standard we aim for, and we’ll address this with our team to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We appreciate you sharing your experience and hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.
