French Restaurants near Palo Alto, CA

“Staff are friendly. They’re pet friendly. My Ribeye steak was the best!“

“This is our "go to" place for special occasions and this visit was a little disappointing. I usually go for the steak frite, but with beets...no thanks. The duck was a little over cooked and the crab bugatini was too spicy. Brocoli soup, oysters, frites were top notch. We'll. come back.“

“Lovely french bakery with breakfast options. Their pâtisserie selection is amazing, always fresh and better than American standards. We usually get breakfast here, but finding a spot can be tricky! Very popular among the neighborhood, everyone comes here.“

“We eat here a lot. Friendly service, delicious French food. I usually get the salmon, the bouillabaisse, one of the eggs benedicts, or the beef bourgogne. All great.“

“Delicious chocolate and berries cake beautifully presented for my daughter’s 30th Birthday complete with a decorated chocolate plate with the words Happy Birthday! Thank you, the cake was perfection!“

“This is a very special restaurant which offers a unique menu. Their flambé options are made to order table side. Their food is outstanding and the service is superb! The staff members are all very friendly and make you feel like family. I definitely recommend Iron Gate!!“

“It was a Sunday night and I was craving Moules frites, which are so delicious at this restaurant, but they were out of them!! Oh no, anyway I had the steak frites , which were also delicious. I'll look forward to returning and , hopefully I'll get those mussels. Ali has such a lovely restaurant and outside dining area. It's a pleasure to go there!“

“The ambience is one of the greatest reasons why we keep returning. We missed Cameron's great service this time, but the young lady who helped us was great. Food , as always, was top notch. Only slight negative was there were more than one beverage choices not available, but listed on the menu.“

“The food was incredible. I wanted to order almost everything on the menu. So will have to come back at least couple more times to try everything to look good and we couldn’t order in one night. Our old fashion cocktail and blackberry Mojito were perfect. And I can’t say enough about considerate, professional service.“

“The experience of dining there was next level. From start to finish they have perfected the dining experience. Food, staff, and ambiance was five star!“

“Hands down the best bakery in Mountain View area“

“Fantastic food truck with a unique mix of Mexican and French dishes. The chicken tacos were amazing - fresh and flavorful. The beignets were also delicious - nice and airy.The chef has experience cooking at a French restaurant, and that shows in the quality of the French items.“

“Wine selection is excellent, don’t hesitate to ask for recommendation if you are not a French wine expert. We loved the lamb chops, they are delicious and the portion is just right. We also recommend the pork medallions.“

“Only one minor complaint. I had the beef bourguignon which was absolutely delicious but it had 2 fairly small pieces of meat and one piece was solid fat which was not edible. I probably should have sent it back for a new piece but didn't. Also a layer of oil covered the sauce. But the flavor was amazing.“

“I would give this 4.5*Food was very good for brunch. I should've gotten dressing on the side for the salad as it was overdressed.Crab cake Benedict was really good.It's also a bit pricey for value even in Los Altos.They accommodated us on the patio with two dogs and we're great about it.“
