    Filet of Sole Meuniere. Excellent.
    HOLLY P.

    Our group of five had delicious meals in Friday night. I had the prefixed meal for $39.95, which includes a glass of wine or soup, and choice of entree. The French onion soup was delicious. The entrées included vegetable starch and protein. I ordered the sole meuniere (spelling?). You could order either meuniere or piccata style. It was cooked perfectly and was also slightly crispy at the same time. It was outstanding. My mother ordered piccata and she loved it. It was served with au gratin potatoes and perfectly cooked vegetables. We all will definitely return as we are thrilled that we just learned they are serving dinners again Thursday through Saturday.

    Duck Maigret Salad

    I've eaten here six times over the last few months and I've even altered my usual shopping route to eat here. The third time I ate there I had a Duck Maigret Salad that was just out of this world. Then I followed up with a vanilla custard filled tart and a cup of coffee. Wow, everything was just superb. To avoid unneeded carbs, I switched to salads and just had the Duck Maigret Salad with the usual tart and coffee. We eat out a great deal and, no matter the price point, the food here is the equal of any restaurant. The service was unhurried, we had coffee refills and I lingered over the custard tart, loathe to finish it. I was stunned over the comment that said there was a $15 'fee' added. There is a fee for credit card usage that offsets the transaction charge that the cc company makes. My fee for a lunch was $1.50. There is some mistake being made somewhere.

    Cute French dècor.

    Stopped in for lunch, and had a nice experience. Breakfast is served from 8am until 11am (Noon on Sunday), then they switch to the lunch menu until 4:30pm. Not open for dinner. They have indoor and patio dining areas, and the parking is plentiful. FOOD: We ordered the Breakfast Croissant with fruit, the Cordon Bleu Sandwich with fries, and the Duck Sandwich with salad. The croissant was very good. The sandwiches were served on a French baguette, which was a nice change from the last sandwich I had here. They were decent, but we felt that both could have used a little more butter, mayo, horseradish, or some other spread. The service is good, so you just have to ask for something, and it's no problem getting it quickly. BAKERY: One of the main reasons we visit is to pick up wonderful items from their bakery. The pastries and desserts are not only visually beautiful, but they're also C'est très magnifique! TIP: The bakery sells out of many items quickly, so don't wait too late into the morning/early afternoon to visit. We enjoy this little café, and I'm sure we'll be back.

    I thought I would get a cute design lol

    It's okay for the desert. Pancakes are good. My husband ordered coffee taste like a basic coffee. Probably not. Would I go back?

    Was in town and came here for breakfast and was not disappointed. But we did have to wait for a table on a Friday morning at 10:00am which was surprising but it's a small cafe inside. The menu is great with so many options and great authentic French food options! I got simple scrambled eggs with French fries and got the hot chocolate. The food came fast and taste so fresh and delicious! The hot chocolate was so good! Afterwards got a croissant to go and was so good too! They have a little bakery area to get macaroons and pastries. It's also a very cute little cafe and for sure will be coming back next time I am in town. Prices are high but for the area it's what I expected.

The whimsical atmosphere dances with charm, delicate pastries gleaming behind glass, the soft hum of conversation, and an elegance that somehow feels both refined and warmly inviting. The table service is nothing short of exceptional, with staff who make each guest feel like an honored friend lingering over brunch in a French countryside café. Every dish arrives beautifully crafted and bursting with flavor, from buttery pastries to savory delights that comfort the soul and delight the senses. And one delicious secret worth savoring; do not leave without trying the homemade raspberry confiture. Its rich, bright sweetness paired with fresh bread or pastries is pure magic the kind of taste that lingers long after the last bite and calls you back again soon.

They are almost always busy, but the multiple ways they make each guest feel invited and welcome are impressive. The maître d' is simply exceptional. She doesn't just seat and then retreat behind a stand - she is on top of every aspect of service. The complimentary infused water is always welcome. The counter staff is responsive almost to the point of being psychic. This next sentence may cause the owners pause, but I recommend over-doing it on the pastries - way overdo it! Buy you and your guests more than you can possibly finish. Get some for your neighbors and friends. (And if you are still craving those eggs - they have some surprisingly low priced options hidden in the menu. Great stop! Roger Medanich

Ordered the New York style hot pastrami on rye with coleslaw and a Dr. Brown's Cream Soda. The pastrami was the highlight. Piled high, tender, and full of that classic deli flavor with just the right amount of richness. The rye bread held everything together well and had a nice bite to it. It's the kind of sandwich you have to take a second to look at before figuring out how to eat it. The coleslaw was fresh and crisp, a good balance to the sandwich, and the cream soda was cold and refreshing. Also ordered a slice of pistachio cake to go. Absolutely delicious. The place has that old school deli feel, busy but in a good way, and full of character. Service was friendly and efficient even with the crowd. Definitely a spot worth stopping at if you're in Palm Desert and want a proper deli sandwich.

Service was excellent. Seated immediately and ordering minutes later. Got extra cream cheese on request and our coffees were diligently refilled. The main attraction was the pastrami sandwich. Totally to my wife's taste, extremely lean and stacked high. She had to take half home. I tried an omelette with corned beef and loved it. The everything bagel was perfectly acceptable, not too "bready." So: service good, pastrami good, and bagel good. Everything good about a deli is covered.
