Easily one of the best breakfast spots. The pain perdu and duck burger are incredible, must haves. The service is super nice and friendly. Every time we've brought someone here it's been a hit. read more

Was blessed by a brother to try this place out :) there's a parking lot in the front and there were plenty of spots when we came. We were seated right away and the lady helping us was very friendly and helpful. She recommended the le Parisien (ham and cheese) for me and le Ratatouille for my friend as he's a vegetarian. I liked my sandwich but my friend felt his sandwich was a bit oily. The sandwiches were wrapped for that reason so don't unwrap it as it will get really greasy. He kept 1/2 sandwich to go and got the vegan salad and really loved it. We also ordered the mango and peach dessert. The mango was decent but the peach fell really short, no idea what it's suppose to taste like but it was def lacking. The pomegranate soda that was recommended was tasty. Overall: felt for the price point had higher expectation for the food/dessert and it def did not meet. But the service was amazing and love the ambient. I did for a moment felt like I was in another country. For those reasons we wouldn't giving this place another try and order other things on the menu. 3.5 stars. read more

Delivers Du Chef is a fun French themed café. It's really a fun place to go into. You can go in there for a very tasty meal, or just to grab some bakery items or a latte on the go. In terms of layout, this restaurant has a number of tables on their interior. They also have several tables outdoors along their glass line walls. This is a full service restaurant. If you want to come in for a meal, they direct you to a table, you choose what you want from the menu, and they come and take your order. Simple as that. Or, you can get it to-go as many of their customers do. In terms of their food, it's all very well prepared and really tasty. Again, the food at this restaurant revolves around French cuisine. So, it has that nice international flavor to it. Plus, they also have a nice selection of wine and a few other alcohol based beverages. In terms of parking, they have a small parking lot in front of the business. Please note, that this parking lot can get crowded and sometimes it is kind of a mess to go in and out of. But, my secret is, whatever this is the case, I park across the street the at the Torrance Crossroads shopping plaza. You know, where the Home Depot and all those other businesses are located. Then, it's just a quick walk across the street and you don't have to deal with any of the weird parking situation. Overall, this is a great café. Fun place to eat. read more

I like it. The woman who took care of me is French and she did everything, except cook. She greeted me as soon as I walked through the door, she took my order, waited on my table, and delivered my food. True table service. The interior of the restaurant feels like a French cafe. The walls are covered with photos and prints of France. I hung my purse on the bag holder screwed onto the table. There are plenty of tables inside and out. I sat inside. There are many tables for the size of the restaurant. Because my visit was early on a Friday morning, there was only one other customer. I can see how the place could get crowded, and ending up sitting very close to others. I ordered a latte and the avocado toast, which comes with beets, salmon, topped with a poached egg. It was pretty good. The cold beets threw me off a little. Latte was good, served hot. Self serve water available. I noticed many people walking in and purchasing pastries. Parking: They have their own lot, and it's free. read more

My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting this cute French cafe for my birthday. It was bright, welcoming, and had the classic French charm. Even the servers spoke French and had an accent, which made the experience even more authentic. We both had a glass of Sauvignon blanc and rose. They were both delicious, but I liked the rose more. For food, we shared the French onion soup, Le Parisian sandwich, and the pate toast. Everything was superb. The soup was full of sweet caramelized onions and a generous topping of melted cheese. The pate was an incredibly different experience. It paired well with the arugula and pickled veggies. The absolute star of our meal was Le Parisien sandwich. The baguette tasted so fresh with a crispy outside layer. It included ham and cheese. So simple and yet so deliciously prepared. The French butter was the cherry on top. And for $13, it was very reasonably priced! For dessert, we each tried a canele, which was also delicious. We are still dreaming of this meal and can't wait for our next visit! read more

This place is the cutest!! Definitely a hidden gem. I got the traditional French breakfast (baguette or crossaint choice) which also comes with fresh squeezed orange juice, a hot beverage (latte, hot chocolate, etc), & a parfait. If you get a baguette, it comes with butter and jam. I loved the vibes of this place. A great place to grab breakfast/brunch and it wasn't crowded on a Saturday morning! read more

Delices Du Chef - Traditional French Breakfast - French Near Me - Torrance, California

Ordered the Le Parisien sandwich with fries and a French sparkling limonade, plus the French omelette with salad. The Le Parisien hit the spot. Fresh bread, good balance of flavors, and it felt simple but done properly. The fries were crisp and satisfying, and the sparkling limonade was refreshing and a fun change from the usual drink options. The French omelette was soft and well prepared, paired with a light salad that kept the whole plate from feeling heavy. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully made. The place itself has a cozy, relaxed feel, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was smooth and welcoming from start to finish. Highly recommend. read more

Cute authentic French cafe in the neighborhood! Went there for a French meet up. Met the owner, the beautiful Veroniqe. Classy lady and friendly. She sat with us and chatted with our group! The wait staff are friendly. I got the egg Benedict with bacon. The egg was perfectly cooked the way it runs with yolk running down. Just the way I love it! read more

I came here for the first time today to meet a friend and this place is such a gem! I walked in to find one of the gentleman working going out his way to help another customer. I was greeted warmly by another associate working there who took my order and then asked me to sit after I indicated that my order was for here. I sat down and my latte arrived shortly. I was then asked if I wanted anything to eat and I chose a croissant. How could I not try a croissant at a French cafe? The croissant arrived heated perfectly and with butter and my own little jar of apricot preserve. It was delicious. I wanted five more. The cafe is very cute and French. There are comfy pillows on the back wall and it's very cozy. The coffee and pastries are great but the service will keep you coming back! read more

Quick brunch at Délices--and somehow Torrance briefly became France. Step inside and it's all quiet confidence. No fuss, just things done right. The pastry case alone is worth the stop: glossy orange domes, blush "peaches," those almost-too-perfect chocolate blackberry creations... all very "are we eating this or framing it?" Thankfully, they deliver. Croissant: exactly as it should be--light, flaky, properly buttery. Pâté: rich, classic, with bread that actually deserves it. Parisian omelette: soft, delicate, quietly excellent. Duck confit: crispy skin, tender inside, with potatoes soaking up every last bit of that sauce. Also spotted: those golden custard tarts lined up like little suns--simple, but don't underestimate them. Only minor casualty: the raspberry dessert met the sun and immediately gave up its structure. What started pristine turned into a mousse-y puddle--but still delicious, so we moved on. Prices are surprisingly reasonable for this level of execution. A low-key French escape, hiding in Torrance. read more

I came here on a weekend around 2pm and there were open tables, so we sat down and ordered. The prices are really good for what you get in generous portions and quality of food. Actually if this review were for the food alone I would have given it five stars. The problem I ran into however was when we went to pay at the cash register. The way they ring it up is you only see the total for the bill on the iPad screen. I would 100% recommend asking to first see the itmemized bill bc they charged us for 2 BOTTLES of wine instead of 2 glasses, there's a huge price difference since it was $66 for 2 bottles compared to $20 for 2 glasses. Also how would 2 petite women under 5 feet tall be able to even walk after consuming 2 bottles of wine?! If this was an honest mistake then hopefully it will not happen again to anyone else. I had wanted to come back to try other menu items but after the bill mix up I'm not sure. Otherwise, the food is really good here like what the reviews all said, as is the pricing. read more

Stepping into Délices Du Chef right as they opened was an absolute dream. The space was quiet, calm, and beautifully decorated, elegant without trying too hard. And the smell? Pure heaven. Fresh pastries in the air will make you forget whatever plans you had before walking in. I ordered the Smoked Salmon Benedict with a cup of tea, and let me tell you perfection. The salmon was tender, the hollandaise was silky and balanced, and everything tasted incredibly fresh. It's the kind of dish that makes you pause mid-bite and appreciate the moment. Service was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can feel the care they put into everything, from the plating to the energy of the space. I travel often, and this is exactly the kind of spot I love discovering. I'll absolutely be back anytime I'm in town. A gem worth celebrating. read more

We can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu! Our first time was exceptional. Given it was a super busy Sunday morning, the staff were friendly and professional! Veronique was great and welcoming. You can tell she loves what she does and loves the food they make. Everything we ordered were amazing! Our favorite had to be the pain perdu-- brioche french toast. I highly recommend it! Even both our kids enjoyed it. The rillette de canard surprised us. We didn't expect much of it but the duck rillette paired so well with everything. We loveee the whole vibe. It was just a bit hard to appreciate since it was pretty busy when we were there. It was loud especially with kids. We ended up being seated outside which worked out okay since we kept having to stand up. We took a couple desserts home! It's a must. We got the mango and choconut desserts! Reallllly good! We can't wait to try the rest too! Parking is a bit hard since it's shared parking space. Off Set coffee shop is also popular in the area. Just be patient. read more

Delightful food at a bustling and bright cafe. On a Sunday early afternoon, parking is limited, but can always try the next plazas up and buy a coffee, tea, or trinket. French onion soup was delicious, flavorful, and not too salty. Reminded me of the soup at a fancy Parisian restaurant. Loved Le Parisien sandwich: high quality ham and melted cheese on baguette. Made it a combo with side greens salad and currant/passion fruit soda (not too sweet and also a highlight of the meal). Shakshouka was decent, but I have not eaten this dish often elsewhere. My brunchmate enjoyed the omelette. Prices were typical. Love the bright, open, cafe ambience. They only opened 1 year ago, and they were very busy with a full house. Check-ins were infrequent, but friendly, and we did not feel rushed despite the business. Would like to come back and try some pastries, too. read more

I think I've been to all the different restaurants that have been in this space the last few years. My colleague and I came today for lunch and we were fortunate to arrive before the lunch crowd. We found parking and were seated right away. First off, this place is CUTE!!! Very French! I love the decor. We were greeted right away with a "Bonjour!" I ordered the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon and it was delicious!! My colleague ordered the French dip danish with truffle fries. You can try the truffles as the fries came to our table. You can pay at the register. You don't have to wait for the servers to come with your bill because they do get super busy. I don't know if I would try to venture here during peak breakfast/lunch/dinner hours because parking can be a nightmare. I would definitely come back and I hope Delices Du Chef sticks around Bon appétit!! read more

Très magnifique! I enjoyed a very delicious La Parisien Half baguette with ham, swiss cheese and salted butter...the baguette was unreal! Crusty on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. The entire sandwich was served warm. Wondrous! My friends enjoyed their Niçoise Salad and Lyonnaise Salad. We sat at a small table in the corner and had a wonderful visit. The waitstaff were wonderful and the place makes you feel like you might be sitting outside in Paris in the middle of the day. Lovely! read more

Ce restaurant est exceptionnel, le menu est excellent! Our friend who just went to this place the day before recommended for us to go again the following day for dinner. A cute little French cafe with excellent service. Veronique was so hospitable, warm and kind. She makes you feel right at home and cared for. The food was delicious, but the service was the icing on the cake with a cherry on top, making the whole experience wonderful. We whet our palates with an adorable mini cup of amuse-bouche, which tasted like shredded duck underneath a bed of delectable whipped potatoes. It was delish and left you wanting more. Our party had the warm and comforting Ratatouille, the delicious and flavorful French Onion Soup, Le Steak au Poivre, Pork Belly, Roasted Black Cod en Croûte which was light and tasty along with my dish, the Canard Confit which was so decadent and tasty. The duck was seasoned to perfection and paired so well with the sweet and sour date sauce resting in the spoon push of celeri root mousseline and topped with honey roasted dates. Beautiful plating for all the dishes. The girls ordered desserts which were decadent and divine. Veronique escorted them to the display case to pick out their choices and even added a sweet special little something to their plate. They were in awe and enjoyed every single bite! Overall, this was an excellent first-time experience for us all! We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be coming back again and again! read more

THE FRENCH TOAST! Let's put it this way. Their French toast is so good, that you only get one slice. Look at my pictures. You'll see two French toast pictures.

When I walked in, I was warmly greeted by the owners. The Parisian omelette was tasty and perfectly moist-- nothing worse than overcook eggs!

My first visit to DDC (please excuse the abbreviation); the restaurant has been open since last October so they been working hard to iron out the kinks. The menu is very typical Parisian and covers just about everything I could think of except for frogs legs! They have a nice display which focuses on sweet things-- some of which were quite unique. The high point probably is that you see the team working on your order (kitchen is in full display). Their seating area is fairly limited so you need to book ahead. Menu is full of goodies of course and I'm happy to report they also serve Napoleon's favourite dish! Breakfast was served outside, which despite the limited seating was quite enjoyable. Btw we tried the omelette and eggs Benedict and honestly I thought the omelette was so tasty I wanted a second round! Lastly, parking can be a challenge but the good thing is that you can also park across the road which is in a safe walking distance. I don't think anyone can have a bad word to say about the food here! read more

I like walking at the Farmers market on Saturdays and I happen to notice this stand. The chef was super friendly and recommended us some entrees to take home. I had the spinach lasagna and the boeuf bourguignon, they were both exceptional. I also tried one raspberry tart, which was delicious as well. We went on Sunday to the restaurant to try out the French breakfast and it was amazing. It's very flavorful and the portions are good. My fav was the croissant Benedict and I added bacon and avocado on it, I would definitely recommend. The coffee is good, but it's on the smaller size for my personal opinion. The tea is super cute and aesthetic. The staff was super nice, very friendly and attentive. They have outdoor seating where you can bring your furry friend and that's a plus for me. The parking is a bit small but I've managed to get parking right away around brunch. read more

Heard much hype about this cute pastry shop. Stopped in today to get a bite of a little love in Italy. Notice that the parking was a bit tight however there was open availability. Soon as I walked in, I was greeted by two sweet ladies bonjour, they say! Although the pastry shelf wasn't full. I alone became full off of the aroma of delicious food being prepared in the back. Off to the right is the kitchen into the left is the dining area I was told that many of the pastries are baked here and there by the husband, however, the ones that I was that I was seeking was not available. That's OK. This causes for another trip some pastries off to the right. A little bit bigger than a silver dollar start at 2:50 and the others to the right are $12 read more

So far, we've had take out a few times and Weber's dined in twice. So happy to have discovered the delightful cafe. French food can be comforting and cost and this place is just that! Every now and again I tell my husband that I want a "ham and cheese" sandwich and he looks at me like I'm crazy since I don't really care for ham. THIS is the hand cheese sandwich I crave and now my husband understands! Everything we've tried has been delicious. I can't wait to visit again and try other items in their menu. In no particular order, we've tried the following and will definitely order again! Le Thon (tuna sandwich) Le Parisien ( ham, Swiss cheese, butter sandwich) Niçoise salad La Brue a la Truffle The parking lot is rather small and it quickly fills up around lunchtime.

The good: Their baguette bread is excellent! It's the best baguette I've had from the South Bay. It has the perfect crunch and isn't as tough as the baguette at Sweet Wheat. I loved all of the genuine and authentic French cuisines and products they sold (including striped shirts!). I tried their canele, 2 mousse cakes, an apple pastry, some Rieme French soda (they have Orangina too!), a quiche and a sandwich. They have a section for kids meals as well. I plan to come back with my mom for a date. They sold a lot of authentic savory French foods here that I haven't seen elsewhere (including escargot!). The bad: Their french butter is $5-6 more expensive than Sweet Wheat's. The inside is very small so it's not great for larger groups. We had a table for 4 which was good but with 2 toddlers who moved around a lot it felt a little bit cramped. The parking lot is small and tight. They have some outdoor dining spots but the outdoor ambience is lacking because you look out into the parking lot and the busy street. The interesting: I first learned about this restaurant because I tried their products at the Torrance Farmer's Market. read more

My friend and I wanted to meet up for brunch, and she recommended this place. It was wonderful--definitely worth the drive. From the moment I walked in, I felt the warm, cozy, and chic atmosphere. I was greeted instantly with a friendly welcome. The service was amazing--attentive and accommodating to special requests. For example, I ordered an omelet but asked for the cheese on the side, and they had no problem doing that. I highly recommend starting your meal with the baguette. It's fresh, warm, perfectly toasted, and served with butter and jam--absolutely delicious. The omelet, Caesar salad, and mimosa were all excellent. You can really taste the freshness of the squeezed-daily orange juice. For dessert, the crème brûlée was fantastic, and they had a hazelnut pastry (I'm not even sure what it's called), but it was heavenly. A quick tip: They offer bakery items for purchase, but they sell out quickly, so get there early if you want to take something home. Whether you're dining alone or with someone, keep in mind that it's a small, cozy restaurant, so you may have to wait for a table. Parking: The parking lot is very small, so you may need to find street parking nearby. Seating: They have outdoor seating available. Restroom: There is one gender-neutral bathroom. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Go to brunch and then go to the beach, which is less than 10 minutes away! read more

What a gem! We found this place on a whim when we decided--also on a whim--to check out some open houses nearby. It was slightly past lunchtime, so it wasn't busy, which was great. The service was friendly, the ambience was relaxed, and the food was excellent. My husband has been searching for the perfect Parisian sandwich in LA ever since we traveled to Paris a few years ago--and he proclaimed that he's finally found it! It's easily more than double the price you'd pay in Paris, but still, it's much easier to drive down to Torrance than to fly out to Paris. This will do until we can go back. My omelet was delicious too. As we were settling our bill, we glanced over at the pastry display case and decided to grab the last apple pastry. It was exceptional! We'll definitely be back soon. read more

We found this hidden gem completely by accident -- and thank God we did! It's a small restaurant, but the vibe is rich with culture, warmth, and charm. The moment you walk in, you can feel the cozy atmosphere and genuine hospitality. Every dish we tried was amazing! The escargot was fresh and full of flavor, and the french toast came with a twist that was surprisingly delicious -- definitely not your usual kind. The omelette was one of a kind, so fluffy and flavorful, and the risotto was absolutely to die for. Even the coffee was bold and smooth, and their refresher drinks were perfectly balanced and refreshing. Veronque was sooooo accommodating and friendly -- she made the whole dining experience even more special. You can really tell they put their heart into both the food and the service. Such a delightful find -- small place, big flavors, and full of heart. Definitely worth every visit! Will definitely be back with the entire family! read more
