French Restaurants near San Rafael, CA

“Hands-down best burger in Marin. Cooked to perfection to your preference, Golden brown fries every time served with their staple House soup to dip them fries in... Come on man! Right when you walk in this place you feel like you're back in the prime time. Less than five minutes off the 101, some say it's off the beaten path, but this place is right in my backyard and it truly makes you feel right at home. Cordon Bleu, lamb chops, I just don't know what kind of night it's going to be... the burger it is!“

“Just had dinner there with my lover last week or so. The staff including the owner are a riot once you get past the phony Gruff exterior who's the name is Stefan. I don't know if I've got the spelling right, so if you're reading this, S, get over it! Seriously: thanks for letting us in, I mean, genuinely welcomed in. Will be back again soon!“

“Second time since 2021. While price has increased it still offers one of the best value in the area for tasting menu. Most of the courses are on point and creative. my favorite is the jidoji egg. The tortellini is a bit bland, but still good. I like that the atmosphere is intimate and unassuming.“

“Fun, great food, European type of service, and a really fun atmosphere. Love the French Onion soup on a cold night. Only complaint, their baguette is quite expensive, though absolutely delicious and served with really great butter. Wine is priced in line with most restaurants in Marin, so not ordering a lot of wine during our visits.Would highly recommend Amélie.“

“For me. Solid 4.5. Went back with my family. Really enjoyed the food. My son enjoyed the burrata appetizer. I enjoyed my salad. I really enjoyed the gnocchi. My son had the orecchiette and enjoyed it. My wife and daughter had the fired chicken and both like it. Quaint little place. Try it.“

“This is my neighborhood bakery it's the BEST and I basically go every morning. My go to is the Pain Suisse, delicious ? my daughter's favorite is the chocolate croissant, and my son's all about the morning bun. The staff is so friendly anf welcoming you must visit.“

“This garage in Sausalito is an incredible place, the whole team and Bruno the boss will take you on a journey to the best neighborhood bar in France. Just passing through for an evening I enjoyed a unique moment around the pleasure of eating and drinking France in the broad sense. Thank you for keeping this kind of place alive which clearly deserves to take a break!“

“Everything was wonderful; the service, wine list and lunch specials were great choices. we opted for the salmon and spinach risotto which was outstanding. And of course, had a side of fries! Finally, the desert a chocolate flourless torte with amazing sauce. had not been here before but will definitely be back. Thanks for a great lunch!“

“Went for a birthday diner and cassoulet. Had a really great waitress, salads, Mussels, Halibut, but unfortunately the cassoulet was mediocre and lacked that rich congealed flavor. Hardly any duck confit and sausages were tough. Left half of it and was surprised by the bland flavor. Next time would try the beef bourguignon instead. The Creme Brûlée helped make up for it though. Delicious as was the strawberry rhubarb crisp.“
