Loved loved loved their egg white frittata! Normally I wouldn't order anything with only egg whites fearing that they came out of a carton but I could taste the freshness in these eggs. The feta spread on top and refreshing salad on the side? I'm gonna be back! That croissant breakfast sandwich was no joke either. Full thick slab of fluffy eggs and cheese on top of a gorgeous croissant, I'm hungry just looking at the picture. Bon Appétit café is also an incredible place to people watch, on top of being a delicious breakfast/brunch eatery in Dana Point that's not a pizza joint. I heard it's an epidemic. Pizza parlors opening here. Also their coffee cups have a fun special handle so it feels comfortable to hold! read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday. Ambiance is nice. Seated right away, which was positive. Water cups were old, scratched, and the size of a large shot glass (but some tables had larger glasses which is odd.) Service was slow as tables around us were served food before us even though they were seated afterwards and had larger parties. As I'm writing this review I had to ask my wife what we ordered as it was *that* unremarkable...Ordered Salmon Benedict and the Croissant breakfast sandwich. Neither plate had any flavor. The croissant was half the size of an average croissant and tasted stale. Potatoes were soggy and lukewarm. Their prices do not reflect quality received so hopefully they will implement changes to improve. *Our dining experience felt like two stars is warranted but I added a star since they are still in the first 6 months of opening. read more

You really can't go wrong when they serve lavazza coffee and throw in some delicious pastries and entrees The two young ladies working were so sweet and did a great job on my coffee. Even the little bathroom is decorated so pretty!! This cafe is in the heart of the Del Prado neighborhood next to the full restaurant which is serving wonderful food. I can't wait to return and try some other items read more

The service was good the staff were always checking on me... The ambiance inside was a bit loud but was good outside( since no one like to eat outside) The food was okay... the hanger steak was okay, it wasn't season properly so cannot really taste it, the french onion soup was so, so... probably because it wasn't cooked as much ‍ I ask for a basket of bread without them letting me know that I had to pay for it... so had to pay $6. The bread basket wasn't warm and was ok. Overall I do like the place but it is overrated and too pricey. The food is ok but won't pay for that price. read more

Came to Dana Point for my best friend's birthday and visited this cute place! Plenty of delicious pastries, we tried the peanut butter cookie and cheese danish (both were 10/10!) Friendly customer service and great ambiance, very beautiful inside. My coffee was pretty strong but still very good, I added some sugar and it was perfect! Great experience! Would come back. read more

My wife and I came here for lunch. We love French bistro food and decided to give it a try. My wife ordered the Angel Hair pasta (fire-roasted tomato, garlic confit, basil, extra virgin olive oil), and I ordered the French Dip (roast beef on a baguette, au jus, spicy aioli, onions, house greens with a side of horseradish). Both dishes were very good and the ingredients were fresh and well prepared. The roast beef on my French Dip was very tender and flavorful. The portion sizes were adequate. Definitely not large. The ambiance was cozy with comfortable tables and chairs, with an abundance of natural light. I would describe our waiter as efficient but a little brusque and not all that friendly. I would definitely return to try other dishes and experience the pleasant atmosphere. read more

My friends brought me to Bon Appetit on Sunday to celebrate my birthday and it was such a wonderful day. The staff were so friendly and made sure everything was perfect for us - including a check in from the owner! I love the new paint job - the blue is so elegant and the gold chandeliers are classy. Has a French cafe vibe for sure! And the food, as pictured, was amazing!! We'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious solid French food at this chic restaurant. Having lunch here feels like being in Paris, I guess! It's bright and airy on a sunny day. The French Dip with salad was hearty. The roast beef was tender as well as the baguette was soft enough that wasn't tough to bite. The Angel Hair Pasta was very good too! Simple and yet very satisfying with tomatoes, basil, in olive oil. It's definitely a nice restaurant to hang around all afternoon! read more

Bon Appetit Cafe is a nice addition to the Dana Point restaurant scene. The cafe took over the previous Maison location, retaining much of its charming decor, while brightening up the space and opening up the seating. It too has a French inspired menu, along with Mediterranean inspired dishes, including the Poulet Roulette, which appears to be an homage to the new owner Stephanos' Greek Heritage, with its spinach, feta and dill filling, along with a French beurre blanc sauce, is delicious. The Penne in Marsala wine sauce is also very tasty. read more

Centrally located on a corner in Dana Point. Friendly staff and we seated right away despite a busy brunch service. Nice decor, very relaxing shade of blue gives the place a very chill vibe. The breakfast was very good, soft scrambled egg in a croissant with bacon. The pancake souffle and avocado toast also delicious, everything was well made and tasted fresh. Nice place for brunch, will return when we are down in this area again. read more

Great french inspired place for breakfast, lunch, or brunch located in the heart of Dana Point on Del Prado. Benedict is perfectly prepared with a hollandaise sauce that tastes so fresh. Pancake Soufflé is absolutely amazing and not overly sweet. Coffee drinks are a win as well. A must try if you're looking for something more than the usual breakfast. read more

My date and I walked in and quickly noticed that it was very busy, we anticipated this since it was a Friday evening, however, what we didn't expect was the restaurant seemed crowded due to its relatively small size. However, the staff here were hustling and working hard, they even managed to sit us down within 5 minutes of walking in. We were seated in their small patio area which was cute and nicely decorated, keeping us away from the loud indoors. Our server was prompt and attentive, despite the chaos going inside the main restaurant. With that said, we ordered water, their elevated margarita, beer, humus, steak and salmon. The water was nothing fancy, nor cold, kind of tasted like faucet water. The elevated margarita was very strong and delicious, the beer was light and crisp, the humus was delicious which came with pita bread and what seemed to be chickpeas on top of the humus, the steak was a bit underwhelming, however, the salmon was rich and plentiful. Overall, we had a nice and enjoyable dinner despite it being so busy and crowded. A nice gesture was when the chef came out to greet us and thank us for dining in at their restaurant. 5 stars for their service. read more

Overall the food was good to very good, service was below average. The goat fondue is very good, tasty, pretty creamy but definitely needs more bread. The fondue itself is a large amount but only four small pieces of toasted bread & sliced apple. We found the Caesar salad lacking flavor. The dressing was boring, oil & vinegar based, nicely presented. The clams were excellent, tender & full of flavor. Ambiance is nice, very loud but that seems standard. Service is friendly but inefficient! First my cocktail took quite awhile to be delivered: it sat at the bar, then our waiter delivered it to the wrong table. The customer let it sit awaiting her companion's drink, when suddenly while delivering my husband's order our waiter realized his mistake, retrieved my drink from the wrong table & deliver me a room temperature martini. I didn't complain. It arrived after the fondue was eaten & the plates were cleared. Then he says "Oh , I forgot your fondue". No, we already ate it. Thirdly, when wanting to order dessert the waiter says " My bad, should have told you about the soufflé so you could order it earlier, too late now!" We haven't had one in 30 yrs and were looking forward to it! He thought it was funny, I didn't. read more

My rating is based on poor service. on Saturday June 13, 2026 my son and I stopped in to try this restaurant for lunch since the Japanese restaurant we planned to go to was closed until dinner. upon entering Bon Appetit, we were seated quickly since the restaurant was not busy. after receiving menu, we sat waiting about 10 minutes waiting to place our order. the waitress was too busy socializing with other customers than taking our order. I noticed the Hostess looking at me with concern, but she said nothing. I decided to leave, and go to a restaurant right across the street, which provided excellent service, menu choices, and better prices. I will not be spending my money at Bon Appetit Bistro in the future. read more

We heard about this super cute new brunch spot and drove all the way from Irvine. Def worth the drive. We had coffee, mushroom tartine, egg croissant, pancake soufflé , French toast, horchata drink, and an almond croissant. Everything was great. The ambiance was very Parisian. The staff were friendly. When we finished we turned the corner and went into their coffee shop which has a seperate entrance and because it was so cute, we ordered more coffee and pastries to go and sat outside on their sidewalk French style tables and chairs . Adorable, and we can't wait to go back! read more

I visited with a large group of friends and was quite pleased with this new restaurant. I ordered the Beef Bourbignon and found it to be quite delicious. It was cooked to perfection, my only beef with it was the lack of pearl onions. I ordered a Grand Marnier Souflet also, waited the requisite 30 minutes for it, and was quite pleased with it. It was cooked the right way too. Our waiter was very pleasant too. He was a tall Frenchman with a beard, but later we found out that he was a local. read more

Loved this little cafe. The outdoor seating is nice. Feels very European. They have a good selection of vegetarian items. I love that they serve breakfast stuff until 3pm. I got the mushroom tartine (with crushed avocado, eggs, feta). It was delish. The side of potatoes was a little bland but I never met a potato I didn't eat. The server was very attentive. No complaints. read more

My daughter and I happened to stop here for an early light dinner.I honestly wasn't expecting much, especially since it seemed like a copy of Maison. I was super surprised how good it was. It is hard to find French onion soup that doesn't taste "sweet". Everyone around here seems to make it that way. These people make it super differently but really good. It doesn't taste sweet, thank god, it has a great onion/beef taste and it is delicious. We also had the salad with berries and it was fresh and the dressing light but still flavorful. Our waiter was a doll and the decor was subtle and relaxing. Overall I was super impressed. If you get a chance go check it out. read more

Bon Appetit Cafe is a new and welcome addition to the vibrant Dana Point dining scene. Decor is light, airy and calm, as is ambient noise. The restaurant is open for all meals and features pastries from Pandora Bakery. I went for dinner (party of four with a reservation) and were seated warmly and promptly. Our server (from a small town just outside of Rome) was engaging, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We started with goat cheese fondue (accompanied by slices of Granny Smith apples and caramelized shallots) and French onion soup, garnished with green onion, both quite satisfying. Three of us ordered penne with wild mushrooms, thyme and shallots in a sherry wine cream sauce, while our fourth diner enjoyed chicken with spinach, feta and dill in a citrus beurre Blanc sauce, accompanied by asparagus risotto. Both dishes were well presented and very flavorful. We finished by sharing in tiramisu and bread pudding, both made in house and delicious. Steve, the owner, stopped by and we had a nice discussion about his background and experiences, lending a personal touch to our experiences. Lastly, prices were quite reasonable and their corkage fee is $25, so if you bring your own wine, make it a good one. I look forward to coming back for other meals, especially breakfast. read more
