LA BONNE TABLE is a cozy and intimate restaurant in the heart of the bustling neighborhood of Hillcrest. We serve country french food in a bistro fashion. Our menu consists of classic french dishes, a modest but excellent selection that will change with the seasons. We offer a romantic atmosphere and elegant setting, full bar and french beer on tap. Reservations are recommended as seating is very limited in this exclusive restaurant. ​Bon Appetit!

    It's small, which I love. It can be a little loud but it's still one of the top ( in San Diego.

    It was the best meal ever! The vibe and ambience were so cozy and the food was so delicious. The escargot was amazing and the pork chop dish was our favorite. The duck confit was also very yummy. But def I would order that pork chop again when I revisit later

    What a wonderful discovery! This charming French gem offers a small menu, but every dish we tried was delicious, as were the cocktails. Thank you, and we look forward to returning!

    First time there, for early Valentines Day. Intimate yet lively, appropriately romantic for the evening. Attentive server, very professional. Menu with traditional dishes and perfectly cooked. Reasonably priced. Great experience, recommend it and would go there again.
