Everything we've had during the 4 times we've been here has been prepared very well, seasoned just right and service has been excellent! Definitely make reservations in advance. We love sitting at the front of the restaurant, near the windows, it's a perfect space for parties of two. Their food portions are a good size - no tiny amounts that some may expect for French food. We've had their escargot, goat cheese salad, beef bourguignon, duck cassoulet, duck confit, flap steak, tarte tatin and they are all absolutely delightful and just mouthwatering! It's not a place we'd be able to go often on a monthly basis as it's slightly on the pricey side and a bit inconvenient for us to drive to - but this place is known for quality and truly worth returning to. 100% THE best French restaurant that I'd ever been to in the SF Bay Area and I highly recommend this spot when you're in the mood for authentic French cuisine: you will not be disappointed. read more

This is the cutest French bistro located in downtown Los Gatos. We came here for Father's Day. It's cross between classy and casual, with some weird touches inside like a large flat screen TV, a fake flower wall, and a piano. It's got a large outdoor patio and plenty of indoor seating. The French Bread & Butter served to start is great. We split a bottle of Chardonnay ($38), a pate starter ($19), Cassoulet ($49), Mussels & Fries ($29), and French Onion Soup ($19). The standouts for me were the housemade pate and French Onion Soup. So good! The food is definitely on the pricey side. The staff were so nice. I loved how they served the wine chilled. read more

There's something special about finding a restaurant that just gets it, and Chez Phillip is exactly that for me. In a town full of great options, this place has become one of my absolute favorites--and honestly, I keep coming back because everything about it just works. The Complete Package What sets Chez Phillip apart is that they understand fine dining doesn't have to be stuffy or pretentious. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance--elegant and refined, but genuinely welcoming. You feel like you're being treated like a valued guest, not just a reservation number. The attention to detail is evident everywhere, from the thoughtful table settings to the way the staff anticipates your needs without being intrusive. The menu showcases real culinary skill. Every dish I've tried has been thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, but more importantly, it actually tastes exceptional. There's a level of care in ingredient selection and technique that you can taste in every bite. It's clear the kitchen takes pride in what they're putting out. Why I Keep Coming Back For me, a great restaurant isn't just about the food--it's about the whole experience. Chez Phillip delivers on all fronts. The service is knowledgeable and warm, the wine pairings are spot-on, and the overall atmosphere makes every visit feel a little bit special, whether it's a celebration or just a night out. My Recommendation If you love fine dining and you're looking for a restaurant in Los Gatos that genuinely deserves the hype, do yourself a favor and try Chez Phillip. It's become one of my favorite places, and I think you'll see why. This is where I take people when I want to impress them--and they always leave as impressed as I am. read more

Excellent food and service. The mussels and French onion soup is my favorite. Also, I'm glad that I'm able to order steak for lunch. This restaurant never disappoint me. I'm giving 4 stars because I don't give 5 stars unless I'm in Paris. read more

Amazing french food!! Vibes inside were cozy and well decorated. Could be great for a date night spot or cute dinner with the girls. Our server was so patient with us and gave us the specials of the day. My water cup was also never empty!! The server also kept refilling our bread basket (the bread was so good haha). At one point the chef personally stopped by and asked how our food was! We ordered the escargot, mussels & fries, and the duck cassoulet. Everything was delicious! The duck was my favorite and would highly recommend. Escargots were perfect as well. The mussels were okay to me but still good! Overall 10/10 experience. Vibe were great. Food was chefs kiss. Service was the cherry on top! read more

Been walking past this place all the time and been wanting to try it. Finally tried it for lunch. The French onion soup was great, not too salty which is always the key for me. It also had that traditional look with the cheese melting outside the bowl. Service was prompt and friendly. Ambiance is clean and cozy feeling, it does feel like a French bistro. The meat of the burger was a bit dry but the egg was so good. Fries were skinny with the right amount of crispiness and crunch. Definitely will come back to try the other stuff. read more

7:30 pm on 8/6/26 Walked in not busy at all. Just peaked in to see because I've been wanting to try this place so much. Literally the moment we walked in the young girl literally said "you can't come back in if you're not eating". What a surprise and disappointing. I've been in restaurant business for 37 years and would have never treated someone just to come in and ask to see menu. read more

Went here for a late birthday celebration for my dad. Overall the ambiance was very nice and very Parisian. We made a reservation ahead of time so we were seated immediately when we came into the restaurant. We ordered the salmon, the steak, and the vegetarian ratatouille. Overall, the steak was definitely the winner out of all of them. One thing to know before ordering the salmon is that the chef is very specific about how they make it. This means so changing the cook time or the fish temperature. There are two salmon dishes poached and pan fried. We got the poached one and it was great. I got the steak medium rare and it was perfect. If I were to get anything the next time I came back, I would get the soufflé dessert. It was amazing, crispy on the top and fluffy in the middle perfectly cooked. The orange liqueur that you pour on top was very strong through so use it sparingly unless you really like orange liqueur. I believe that we were being waited on by the host of the restaurant. She was very friendly in the beginning but was definitely very efficient and blunt. I think we were in the restaurant after the kitchen had closed so they were trying to clear everything quickly. Overall a great experience and would recommend! read more

I studied French for 5 years and really love the language and culture. I've noticed this restaurant when I've passed by and it was usually pretty busy. I made reservations online in the morning and it was confirmed shortly after they opened. This is a cozy French restaurant and it feels like you're in France with the music. Also a very down to earth atmosphere. I love supporting small local businesses too. Usually there aren't too many French restaurants so I'm glad this one opened up. The service was really good. The owners were very friendly. My Mom ordered the mussels with the fries and I had the croque monsieur. I liked the mussels better. The mussels had flavor without being too salty. We liked dipping the fries in the sauce. I would definitely come back to try different dishes. I want to order the escargot next time. Also there are specials every week. They have coq au vin, soufflés, etc. But you have to come on a certain day for the specials. They are listed outside on the windows of the restaurant. read more

Walking in, the ambience instantly transported me back to Paris that makes you feel like you've stumbled onto a tucked-away gem in the 7th arrondissement. Our server was kind and quick. To start, we had the duck confit salad and the French Onion Soup--both absolutely delicious. The soup had that deep, rich broth and perfectly melted cheese cap that clings to the spoon in the best possible way. The salad was light and fresh. For the main, we shared the grilled steak with caramelized shallots, fries, and green beans. The flavors were classic and well thought out, but the steak itself was a bit too chewy for my taste. The sauce was slightly sweet with the caramelized onions. The fries, however, were outstanding--perfectly seasoned, crisp and dangerously addictive. We ended with the tarte tatin, and let me just say: divine. A beautifully caramelized apple top and buttery pastry--warm, decadent, and the perfect finale. Overall, a cozy spot with charming French flair and a dessert worth returning for. read more

We really enjoyed our birthday dinner at Chez Philippe. We had the escargot, which went really well with the fresh bread served. The goat cheese salad was really nicely sized and easily sharable among the 3 of us. My steak frites, which I ordered as medium, actually came as well done. My daughter's was suitably medium. I could have said something as they came by to check on us, but I didn't want to make them cook a new steak, so I said it was fine. So I don't hold this against them, but since it was served cut so the cook is easily checked, it would have been nice if it had been noticed before it was served. The apple tartin dessert was a little on the sweet side and a bigger scoop of ice cream would have been appreciated, but it was still good and the sweetness didn't overwhelm since we shared it three ways. Service was really excellent, very attentive to the right degree. The ambiance was homey and not formal - almost like if you were invited to the home of a friend who happened to be a French chef. We would come back again to try different dishes. My wife had the duck confit, which she enjoyed too. read more

Super cute French bistro that we stumbled upon, don't know how we missed out all this time. Chez Phillippe totally hits the spot with very very well executed French bistro classics. Many places destroy the beautiful core flavors of these dishes but the chef does a brilliant job of letting the soul of each of the dishes really shine! It was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy this great food with a nice beaujolais! Escargot - parsley, garlic goodness. The escargot cooked really well! Of course you have to lap up all the butter! Warm baguette and butter - fresh warm, in a cloth sleeve. Given shelf life of baguettes surprised they do this, but it was really well done. French onion soup - again excellent execution, deep flavors of caramelized onion, beef broth , baguette croutons, melted Gruyère in a clay pot - a classic executed to perfection Pâtés - goose and duck - both brilliant and different. Goose was my favorite! Steak frites - perfectly cooked medium steak, the peppercorn Demi glace was so good you'll want to lick your plate Strawberry and butterscotch crepe - it stole the show!! The butter scotch sauce had notes of toffee and caramelized in oven before serving. Finally a crepe worth eating in bay area! read more

It doesn't get much more French than Chez Philippe. The interior looks like it fell out of a French Countryside design catalog, pictures of the Eiffel tower adorn the walls, and the air is full of melodic accordion music. Even the menu features all the heavy hitters of French cuisine - or at least what American's think of as French cuisine; Coq au vin, Steak Frites, Cassoulet, Escargot, they've got it all. As a vocal fan of French Onion Soup (but too lazy to make it myself), we decided to begin our meal by splitting a bowl which turned out to be a smart decision because while certainly delicious, it was quite strong and very salty so trying to polish off a bowl on your own might put you at a disadvantage heading into the entrée. I went with the Cassoulet while my wife decided to go with the Steak au Poivre, both of which absolutely delivered. The steak was cooked to perfection with a beautiful crust and, in keeping with the French tradition, was more on the rare side of medium-rare. The mashed potatoes (a substitution of the typical fries) were wonderfully light and fluffy, pairing well with the acidity of the green beans. For as good as that dish was though, the real star of the show was the Cassoulet which absolutely blew me away. It was the kind of meal I found myself thinking about days later, looking up recipes and wondering where in the world I could find Salt Pork so that I can attempt to recreate this beauty at home. If you've never had it before, I highly recommend giving the Cassoulet a try. You'll be thanking me later. Overall we had an excellent meal at Chez Philippe and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality traditional French cuisine. read more

My wife and I walked in without a reservation early evening on a Friday and they seated us, which was great. We were both disappointed by the food quality though. We shared a Rillettes and Pate starter. The pate seemed a little old and tasted on the edge of being off. The beef bourguignon was just average. The duck confit was underwhelming with the potatoes sauté undercooked. Very expensive for the quality of food. Perhaps a one off early evening lack of focus but surprising considering the other reviews and stars. Good ambiance and well decorated restaurant. Just a disappointment for our first time read more

We had a wonderful 2026 Valentine's Day dinner at Chez Philippe. We'd been meaning to come to Chez Philippe ever since the chef gave our doggo a small piece of Iberian ham when we walked by sometime last year. For whatever reason our pup likes to drink from the water bowl outside Chez Philippe but from no other bowl downtown. He's half German Shepherd and half Great Pyrenees so we chalk it up to his France-adjacent lineage and sensibilities. He's not wrong - our food was excellent. It was a special menu so even though we know that our dishes are on the regular menu, we don't know if they were fully the same as on a normal night. My wife loved her French Onion soup and my salad was fine but unexceptional. My wife also enjoyed her Steak frites and my Veggie Crepe was excellent also. The Chocolate Opera Cake and Creme Caramel (essentially indistinguishable from a flan custard) were both fantastic. And we had a fantastic table right in the window. Lovely meal in a cute setting. read more

Very nice French bistro place. Food is very good with a very reasonable price, not much differences from getting brunch from other breakfast places but you get a better food. We got a tuna salad and mussel with fries. The French press coffee is very good. The place is also nice and not too noisy. Will come back in the future read more

If you're looking for real, authentic French food and vibes, this is the place to go. Chez Philippe reminds us of being in France with our families and everything is absolutely delicious. Make sure to show up ON TIME and with your ENTIRE party or you will not be seated (also very French ). Every time we've been here, we've been lucky enough to be served by Levi who is so kind and professional. The ambiance has the perfect mood lighting and when the weather is nice, the outdoor seating area is gorgeous. We love Chez Philippe and will always continue to support this amazing restaurant! read more

I visited Chez Phillipe for the first time tonight, and I can easily see it becoming a favorite. The location is great... Santa Cruz Ave in Los Gatos is a very pleasant place to stroll, and there is plenty of parking. The decor is casual. This is a place that feels special, without being stuffy or pretentious. The menu is pretty standard French fare. It's somewhat limited, but there are several specials. Service was fast and casual. The food was simple amazing. It's basic stuff, prepared really well. I had the grilled steak (bavette a l'échalote) and my friend had the apple duck confit. We skipped the appetizer and saved room for dessert, and I'm glad we did. I had the Gran Marnier sorbet, and loved it! There are no cocktails, but they have a nice wine list. It's a tad pricey, but certainly fair for the quality of the food and service. I should mention that I am on a low-sodium diet. They were happy to prepare my meal to order without added salt. (Many restaurants pre-cook their sauces with loads of salt.) read more

Loved our meal here! It was a cold, rainy day, so a warm coq au vin with a glass of red wine hit the spot. The steak was also perfectly cooked, quite rare. The bread was delicious, too, with softened butter. I'm not sure the green beans did much for me, but everything else was great! The live piano music also really contributed to the vibe. Great time here! read more

Since that very first visit one night, couple of years ago, when I had stopped at Chez Philippe on a whim, no reservations & no plans, there were numerous, phenomenal, pleasant others! My other plans fell short that first night. Learned from welcoming lovely ladies with charming French accent that the restaurant was completely booked & offered bar seating... that's what started this love affair! It worked out so well, these days, I prefer small bar area overlooking open kitchen, to a dining room seating. Unless I'm here with a party of four or more, being at the bar is like being at the center of it all! You get to observe the Chef making magic! Fascinating! Exquisite French Bistro! Unusually high barstools, you've got to adjust your posture! Only wines & Champagnes are served, no bartender per se & no cocktails. I know what I want!

It's a clear & colorless fruit brandy, a product of fermentation + double distillation. Yes, it's a whole intact peer in the bottle! Williams Pear Brandy comes from Alsace region of France, and they also call it Schnapps, because they're close to Germany! Maybe half an hour? It's sold in Germany too!

Service is not the most welcoming. There's attitude which I'm not appreciating. Food is uninspiring. Note: owner instantly commented this review with: "We take safety as a high priority. Walking children around the restaurant to entertain them is not only a risk to you but also to our staff". Walking children comment likely isn't for me as I'm not concerned on this topic actually. However, this comment says about the service and attitude. The owner seems to be picking on more tension than I expected, and equipped to push back on reviews with assuming what the review is about, with defense in place, vs having the patience to take feedbacks. read more

Came here for brunch on a Sunday afternoon for a friends bday! We were sat immediately, as it was nine of us and our waiter was pretty attentive. We were sat outside when it was a gorgeous day. Restaurant is super cute and adorably decorated. They brought their bread to start and it was amazing. Super soft on the inside and crispy enough on the outside. I didn't order a drink but Others ordered mimosas. I tried the strawberry one and thought it was a little bitter tbh. I ordered the duck confit Benedict crepe for brunch and it was good except it wasn't as much meat as I tight there would be. I was left feeling still kinda hungry after but the taste was good. We also got a tarte desert for our friend for her bday and it was tasty! All in all it was a cute brunch spot, but I would have preferred something with a little more flavor. read more

We were curious about French food in the area and stumbled upon this place! It was cutely decorated inside and having a live pianist was definitely a plus. We were immediately served bread and butter, while deciding on what to order. French Onion Soup 5/5: This was a tasty soup! I don't know how anyone could get this wrong, but it was definitely thoroughly enjoyed. Apple Duck Confit 5/5: The duck was buttery, not too fatty, and paired well with the apple sauce. It was the perfect mixture of sweet and savory. The potatoes and green beans were well cooked, nothing crazy. Steak Tartare 3/5: Maybe this dish didn't really match my palate. I get the concept of steak tartare, but it was a bit on the sour side for me. It came with a few slices of bread which helped balance out the flavors, but I quickly got tired of the flavor. Service was great! They were quite busy with patrons coming in and out, but remained attentive throughout our time there. read more

Very simply I love French cuisine, I went to college in Choisy-Le-Roi in Paris and lived in Mairseillan in southern France for 5 years. I like to think I know the food... before I went to Chez Philippe I had chosen from the menu what I wanted to eat and drink until the waitress the wife of the chef Philippe who I was graciously introduced to at the end of the meal... I have to apologise on the photos... half eaten food as I forgot to wait.. the restaurant reminded me of real French restaurants. Escargot always a firm favourite and these were excellent, perfectly cooked, with enough garlic to knock a horse out...the main I was recommended being cassoulet and it didn't fail, bringing back memories of a cassoulet cooked at a French vineyard around 40 years ago. Finally a dessert vanilla ice cream with poire William and an espresso. I have visited over the last 2 years every other French restaurant in the south Bay Area and this one is the best, authentic and the food is perfect... Thank you to the staff and Philippe I'll return before I leave ... read more

Good service and the veggie French onion soup is so so flavorful!!!! We liked the goat cheese salad too! I wis they did a veggie croque for dinner though. I asked and they said no. Supposed that was French too lol read more

Chez Philippe has been on my radar for a sometime now and honestly the wait was worth the wait. Upon arriving our party was immediately seated partly due to being the beginning of the month and most people have rent/mortgage to pay. So dining out at the beginning of the month is ideal for quality time with friends without the crowds. Started the dinner with escargot baby leaf salad which was balanced in flavors. Bread was served swiftly and the only beer on the menu was a prefect opening to a fantastic meal. The special of the day beef Bolognese was super flavorful and the sauce was perfectly balanced. A total must have and worth returning in the future. read more

Chez Philippe - French Near Me - Los Gatos, California

Went there for Sunday lunch on June 14 with another couple who recommended the place in downtown Los Gatos. The food was good but the young woman who was the host told us we needed to wait until our 2 friends arrived. Find this bizarre since we had made reservations for 4 and we would have liked to sit down and order some drinks and appetizers while waiting for our friends to arrive. By the way our friends were just trying to find a parking spot at Los Gatos. The girl kept insisting that we cannot sit down, however allowed folks without a reservation to sit at a table. It was a bad first impression and we feel that the owners of the restaurant must have instructed to do this. Anyway, we will not be returning to this place as it does not value reservations or our business. read more

I was really looking forward to dining at Chez Phillippe. My partner surprised me with reservations because I'd been wanting to go for a while. Before booking, he even went in person to speak with the chef and was assured they could accommodate gluten-free guests. When we arrived, I informed our server that I needed to eat gluten-free, and she was kind and said it would be no problem. I ordered the duck l'orange special, which was supposed to come with vegetables and mashed potatoes. When the plate arrived, it included rice pilaf instead -- I immediately asked if it was gluten-free, and the server quickly took the dish back. My partner specifically requested that they remake the plate completely to avoid cross-contamination. A few minutes later, my meal came back out -- but it was clear it hadn't been remade. I took a few bites of the duck and then noticed bits of the rice pilaf still on the plate. It was obvious they had just scraped it off and added extra green beans. At that point, I lost my appetite, knowing I'd likely end up sick for the next few days. I asked for the plate to be taken away. Another staff member (who we thought was the manager, but wasn't) came by to ask if I wanted something else, but by then, the experience was already ruined. Instead of comping my meal, they simply took $20 off the bill. Later, my partner emailed the restaurant to share our concerns and received a disappointing response that basically questioned whether I could prove I got sick from their food. For anyone with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, or food sensitivities, please be cautious before dining here. While the staff was polite, the kitchen did not handle my dietary needs safely or professionally. As a side note, we were seated on the back patio, which was chilly. There were several heaters, but we were told they couldn't be turned on "for fire safety," which made the meal even less comfortable. I truly wanted to love Chez Phillippe, but unfortunately, this was not a safe or enjoyable experience. read more

This is an interesting French Restaurant. We tried the appetizer , steak, steak tartare, salad and duck. The first is different than the first time we visited few months ago. Not sure why, but different. Here is my scoring card for this restaurant: 1) Location: ( 5 Point ) - Great location for customer to see and find. Great parking for street parking and back side with parking lot parking. 2) Decoration : (2 Point) - They still have the original decoration. Clean and up to date. 3) Price: ( 4 point)- The price is competitive but still a little bit pricey compare to other same stars and type food they serve 4) Quality and Taste : ( 3 point)- The quality is ok, food taste is good and portions are average . 5) Type of cuisine standard : ( 4 point) - The style of french food they serve is pretty close to the way it was prepare in France. Not bad! But some dishes did have slightly modify to cater the customer's need Overall it's not bad and I thinks it's great to give it a try and let me know what you think.

While the food is excellent, the service leaves much to be desired. Last evening we had a special occasion reserved at Chez Philipe for 3. I was unavoidably detained in my car "out front" while the 2 other diners had arrived and were present (both 74+ years) and they refused to seat them. There were no chairs and they stood outside for nearly 10 minutes. UNACCEPTABLE! read more

We came for my birthday in December and had a nice time. The service was prompt, we came around the brunch time. Food was fresh and very good, we all enjoyed our meals. there are several areas to sit, we backed up to their open kitchen, which I did not love, but it wasn't really that bad but if you want something, a bit more quiet without the noise of the kitchen you can request a table that is not backed up to the kitchen. You can also have a seat that overlooks their open kitchen at the dining bar, which is kind of cool. my fresh strawberry mimosa was also very yummy. read more

Chez Philippe - Eggs Benedict over crêpe - French Near Me - Los Gatos, California

We enjoyed a dinner with friends at Chez Phillippe tonight. We had reservations for 6pm on a Saturday night. When we arrived, there were not many customers yet, given the early hour. By the time we left two hours later, the restaurant was full. We have eaten here before and enjoyed it then and also on this visit. We were first seated in a table for four near the entrance, with two of the seats being on a small couch (a very unusual arrangement). My wife needs to sit on a chair and our friends did not want to sit on the couch, so we were moved to another table with four chairs. (It was good that it was early.) Warm bread and butter was served as we were seated. Note that this restaurant does not serve spirits or cocktails. They do serve wine. My wife and I had the French Onion Soup ($19), which was very good. A nice onion soup base and coated with thick cheese, as it should be. We split a main course sized Goat Cheese Salad ($21) which was very tasty. Our friends split the Grilled Steak with shallots, vegetable, and fries ($42), which both enjoyed. We had the Tarte Tatin (Apple Tart) ($17) for dessert, along with Mocas ($7 each) and Cappuccino ($6). The tart was covered in a very tasty sweet sauce accompanied by a small sized scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall the service was attentive, and the food well prepared. A nice way to have dinner with good friends. read more
