    It was our first time visiting Coronado Island & Little Frenchie Bistro. It was very convenient to make reservations (on Opentable). This is a small & cozy restaurant with not many indoor tables (some outdoor tables also available) so reservations are highly recommended. We sat at a cozy booth, where we were provided with complimentary delectable pastries made in-house. French onion soup was perfectly prepared, not salty like at some restaurants, absolutely loved it! Nicoise salad had poached albacore (vs. canned tuna) so it was not your ordinary salad. Steak & frites (kids portion) was very good size & cooked to order. We reminisced having steak & frites in Paris but the style was a bit different, not served cut-up with green butter sauce. Service was excellent and we had ample time to savor french onion soup before our entrees came out. It was an expensive brunch but we’re so glad we were able to dine here during our first visit to Coronado island.

    This hidden gem on Orange Avenue has the best food. We love their cheese board selections and have had several entrees there. They have the most incredible French hamburgers and the fries are amazing. I’ve had the muscles and French dip where were amazing. The restaurant was busy but the attention. To the customer is first class. They have indoor and outdoor dining which reminds one of a cafe on the streets of Paris. Our server was Ricky and he made sure we were well taken care of along with the rest of the staff who worked as a team to meet every customers need.

    I have been to this restaurant several times . Today my Niçoise salad was big , it looked wonderful, but the tuna fish lacked flavor , it looked like it had been steamed. I did not like the dressing. The best part of the lunch was the warm baguette
    Little FrenchieResponded 4 days ago
    Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the warm baguette—it’s always a favorite and a little taste of France. We’re sorry to hear the Niçoise salad didn’t quite meet your expectations. The tuna is prepared to be light and simple, but we’ll revisit the seasoning to ensure it’s as flavorful as it should be. We’ll also take a closer look at the dressing to see how we can enhance it. We truly value your input and hope to welcome you back soon to try something new. Merci!

    I really loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, service was impeccable and I felt very comfortable dining here. The food however didn't meet my expectations. I love French cuisine very much, I've traveled through Cherbourg, Nice, Paris, Normandy and we have family that resides there as well. I felt it lacked flavor. Possibly the kitchen was overwhelmed I don't know but I'll give them another try for brunch. My duck was crisp but missing noticeable flavor.
