Little Frenchie Bistro on Coronado Island had been on my bucket list for at least a year. Finally, I gave it a try…and have been back three additional times!
Located on Orange Avenue, the main drag of Coronado Island, it is an adorable bistro that is about as close to a Parisian café that you will find in San Diego. Good food, service, and atmosphere. A triple threat.
Warning: while you may want to try everything on the menu, you should pace yourself. I over-indulged on my first visit, which taught me to taper my choices upon my return. The Parisian Hot Chocolate with Valrhona chocolate is rich beyond compare. The swirled concoction on the left is not soft-serve ice cream for breakfast; it was freshly whipped chantilly cream to go along with the beverage. There are no words.
The pastry basket is the perfect starter for any meal. Fresh-baked cheese danish, butter croissant, and chocolate croissant. Advice: split each one!
If you like sweet, the Nutella Crepe is an excellent choice, with strawberry, banana, toasted almonds, and powdered sugar.
If it’s savory you crave, I recommend the Croque Monsieur (not pictured) paired with the Jardin Salad (below):
The Bruléed French Toast is out of this world, too. Not as heavy as you might think, it was delicious!
I would definitely recommend a reservation; this place fills up fast, even with the outdoor seating!
