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.

Executive chef: Matt Sramek

MICHELIN Plate2022

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.

Service was a little slow, less responsive than usual. The sea diver scallops were a little cold. Everything else was pretty good but not great.

Merci for your visit and for sharing your thoughts! We're thrilled you loved the food, though we sincerely regret the misstep with your water and that service felt slow.
