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.

Great French bistro on Coronado Island. Very authentic preparation. We had the French Onion Soup and Moules Frittes. Then we saw the Grand Marnier Soufflé! (Allow 30 mins for soufflé). It’s worth the wait.
Little FrenchieResponded on February 2, 2025
Merci beaucoup for your kind words! We’re delighted you enjoyed our authentic French flavors, from the rich, bubbling French Onion Soup to the classic Moules Frites. And ah, the Grand Marnier Soufflé—indeed, a little patience, but a most rewarding indulgence! We hope to welcome you again soon for another taste of France, right here on Coronado. À bientôt!
