    Extra crispy with sauce on the side
    Sheryl L.

    We went for the first time but not the last, last night. We were pleasantly surprised how delicious the bread and pate were to start, which is complementary. Then they have some great summer specials through October for $59. That includes an entrée, an appetizer and a dessert which are very large in size for a French restaurant. The only thing that wasn't amazing was possibly the fish and the potatoes au gratin. Next time we are going to get the French onion soup, the Caesar salad and try the liver and onions and the pasta dishes or -possibly the steak. We also loved our cocktails, our server , and the homey atmosphere .

    Chicken mushroom crêpe
    Denise S.

    Excellent! Service and meals were perfect. The staff was so welcoming and very professional and polite greeted you with a warm smile and a welcome. This is our second time in a week that we visited. Mom loved the chicken mushroom crêpe. We ordered the first visit and she had to get it again. I tried the steak omelette, which was recommended by a patron who was leaving the restaurant and it was delicious. The steak was so tender. There was nothing I would change about either of the meals. The atmosphere is very cozy. Tables are situated very close to others and it may be a bit loud for people that want a quieter evening, but that's the charm of being in a restaurant that is packed. This sounds of people's voices mingling together is somewhat like the sound of a bustling life. It's reasonably priced for the location and area and you can expect to get a more upgrade and carefully put together meal. If you're looking for a mom and pop shop, this is not the place. We've been there for dinner a long time ago. I believe we enjoyed it as well but this is the first time I went in for breakfast and it was delicious.

    The Classic Onion Soup au Gratin
    Alexander Y.

    Wanted to try a new restaurant in the Coachella Valley and Chez Pierre had been on my list for a while. Figured this was as good a time as any to try it! All I can say is...how have I not been here before? It's rare to find good French food in general, and for Palm Desert to have such a great spot is very surprising. Every dish was great, quick rundown below: 1. Escargots Burgundy Style: When I think of escargot, this is exactly what I want. Heavy with butter and garlic, and very savory! 2. The Classic Onion Soup au Gratin: Same with onion soup, I want my onion soup extremely cheesy with loads of flavor. The bread inside the soup soaked up the soup and was great. 3. Maple Leaf Duck Breast: The duck breast was cooked absolutely perfectly, almost tasted like steak! My only quibble is that I wasn't a huge fan of the orange sauce as it made the overall dish a bit sweeter than I would have preferred. 4. Branzino: It's hard to get branzino wrong, and they did not do that here. It was served as a fillet, so it was easy to eat. 5. Braised Beef Bourguignon: Really loved this dish. They did not hold back on the beef, and the sauce was typical savory bourguignon sauce. 6. Chocolate Mousse Chantilly: Probably shouldn't have ordered this because we were absolutely stuffed. But it was exactly as the name says. Very mousse! Service was great here, no complaints from me. Ambience is nice. It's a small, cozy place that is clearly frequented by older folks. Tables were a bit closer than I would prefer, but it's to be expected by a place that isn't that big. Definitely need to come back here to try some of the other items on the menu.

    Veal Picatta
    Elvira G.

    Table for two. Friday at about 8PM about 5 parties in restaurant. Friendly waiter. Large basket of bread, butter and liver pate delivered quickly. Both of us had the onion soup to start. Beautiful crust of cheese and broth to die for. Unfortunately, the broth was lukewarm. Hubs had veal picatta. Sauce was perfectly seasoned, vegetables good and pasta slightly overcooked. The veal just did not look appetizing. Look at pics and you'll get it. I had the frisse salad. Nice chunks of cubed bacon, croutons, light citrus dressing, and a beautiful poached egg. But, the greens were awkward to eat- salad bunched up and impossible to cut with the butter knife. Gave up and left most of the greens on my plate. Overall, I would rate this as a budget French-ish restaurant given the food quality, decor and table settings. Given the budget-friendly price, completely acceptable. But I believe that with some tweaks, Chez Pierre could be very good. Today it was okay.

We had originally booked patio seating, but from the moment we walked in, the experience felt thoughtful and genuinely hospitable. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who immediately noticed we had a baby and proactively offered to relocate us to a more protected outdoor area while still preserving the al fresco experience. He set us up in the covered outdoor section to the right of the restaurant--best described as a beautifully styled canopy space rather than a typical patio. It was lush, cozy, and lavishly decorated with greenery, honestly a vibe all on its own. He even turned on the heaters to make sure our baby stayed warm. That level of care alone already set the tone for the night. Now let's talk about the food--because wow. This is classic French comfort done right. We started with the chicken liver pâté, which was easily one of the best I've had to date. Silky, rich, and deeply flavorful. This dish was especially nostalgic for me--my mom is a huge fan of pâté, and growing up we'd often eat it with bread as a snack or light meal. One bite instantly transported me back. Comfort food in the truest sense. For entrées, my wife ordered the Boeuf Bourguignon--tender, slow-braised beef that practically melted, swimming in a deeply savory, wine-forward sauce that felt both rustic and refined. I went with the Steak au Poivre, perfectly cooked and coated in a bold, peppery cream sauce that struck that ideal balance between richness and bite. Both dishes were executed beautifully--classic French flavors, no shortcuts, no gimmicks. Drinks were just as satisfying. I ordered a dirty Grey Goose martini with blue cheese olives, and let me tell you--it's surprisingly hard to find places that actually carry blue cheese olives. This one detail alone earned extra points in my book. The ambiance really tied everything together. French music played throughout both the indoor and outdoor spaces--some tracks were even recognizable, adding to the authenticity without feeling cliché. It felt transportive, warm, and relaxed. And bonus points for location: the restaurant sits right next to Handel's Homemade Ice Cream, making it dangerously easy (and highly recommended) to follow up dinner with dessert. All in all, French Rotisserie Cafe delivered on hospitality, atmosphere, and genuinely excellent French cuisine. Whether you're visiting Palm Desert for the first time or you're a local, this spot is absolutely worth a reservation.
