    Le Menu 6/2024
    Henri V.

    L'Orangerie a french restaurant bistro opened recently in Coronado. Taking the corner space of the Coronado Historical Association building with towering columns. The noir et blanc striped outdoor umbrellas are eye catching. Turns out, owner and chef Philippe is a Francophile from France, happened to be standing at the entry, cordially welcomed Me inside. I chose outdoor seating with my furbaby Fendi. Most places with outdoor seating are pup friendly but I prefer the outdoor area to be spotless and clean as this place was. The service staff and my waiter Matt were nice attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which was mostly French cuisine, which is always my favorite. Although, there are at least three other french restaurants in the area, I wanted to support this new restaurant and try the owner chef's take on french dishes. I'm guilty, I usually prefer pescatarian and chose the seared salmon. Presented nicely with fresh local organic ingredients, I was impressed with how exquisite the flavors enhanced the salmon's subtlety. The menu evolves seasonally and I look forward to returning to try other dishes. The french baguette slices ordered with the ordered homemade french butter is a must. Pomme frittes ie french fries with the ordered homemade Mayo for dipping was irresistible. From the wine menu, the Maceratoin, an orange wine from Alsace region in France was surprisingly perfect for a restaurant called L'Orangerie, meaning the orange grove. There are no orange groves in the area, but the restaurant is located on Orange Avenue which is restaurant row in the Coronado area. Locals and tourists walk through this avenue and makes for amusing entertainment while wining and dining on fantastique french cuisine at L'Orangerie. A very nice first impression, Recommend!

    Escargots

    Beautiful new restaurant in Coronado! French owners who live nearby and are so friendly! Escargots was good but in a tomato bisque not garlic/parsley/butter method. Creamy chicken dish was scrumptious! A perfect sunny day to lunch on the patio! Also a perfect cafe au lait!!

    Veal Tenderloin w/ Mushroom Cream Sauce

    One of the finest meals I've had in Coronado!!! The Chefs Veal Tenderloin w/ Mushroom Cream Sauce and the house made Pate' were so delicious!!! And they're dog friendly :) I hope this little gem has a long tenure on the island!!! 5 stars for Service, Food and Ambiance!!!

    Delicious Chocolate Mousse
    Ben D.

    Wonderful patio! Great service! Delicious French Onion Soup for a starter then had the Steak Frites with salad for dinner. We had a bottle of Cab Franc as well and it was delicious and reasonably priced. We finished up with a chocolate mousse and crème brûlée. The chef is also the owner and came out to check on us which was also a nice surprise! This is a very nice addition to the Coronado restaurant scene and we highly recommend it!

    The chocolate croissant and coffee were world-class!

    Amazing setting, beautiful French food and owners. I must visit on your next time n Coronado. We LOVED it!

    Deviled eggs & caprese salad with chicken

    My mom and I stumbled upon this place while shopping in Coronado for her birthday. We were greeted & taken care of by Jonathan, the director of operations, who was beyond wonderful! He was pleasant, competent, and spoiled us with some complimentary champagne. =P We ordered the deviled eggs & the caprese salad. The deviled eggs were to die for!! I have been craving them ever since! The caprese salad was delicious as well and the serving size of added chicken was generous. We were even lucky enough to speak with the owner/head chef- he is a warm Frenchmen. You can tell by tasting the food that it is an AUTHENTIC French restaurant & his passion for cooking comes through his dishes. The ambiance is very cute. We will be back. :)

    We have dined here twice in the last few weeks. Once for lunch, once for dinner. Let me just say, the food was fantastic both times. But the owners really are so incredibly kind and hospitable and that just puts the experience over the top! The quiche is FANTASTIC. French onion soup also so delightful (more on the savory side, perfect balance of subtle sweetness). I could drink whatever dressing they put on their side salads. French fries fried in beef tallow? AMAZING. Definitely recommend the steak frites!

    The green salad
    Inge C.

    This restaurant just opened its doors in Coronado this summer, we had lunch there yesterday and it was WONDERFUL!!!! The service was very welcoming and friendly, we sat inside and it feels truly like a French Bistro. We tried the La Niçoise salad , the salmon toast, and seared salmon, and everything was delicious!! My husband had a really good French rosè and I had their white sangria , yum!!! To finish off our meal we had the crêpes with Nutella and the chocolate mousse and coffee. We'll be back for sure!! Can't wait to try more items from their menu. Welcome to Coronado!!

    Ask the Community - L’orangerie

    Do they have any vegan and vegetarian options?

    Hello, Yes, I remember seeing a fresh vegetable platter on the appetizer menu and a Risotto. I am sure the chef can prepare something for you also.

    Is there a happy hour menu?

    The have a happy hour with a few discounted items from their regular menu. They are new so don't expect much variety but everything there is good.

The staff made the experience even better: friendly, welcoming, and helpful without any pretension. I loved that the wine list felt thoughtful and approachable, with plenty of interesting options to try. They also have beer, cider, mocktails with a great small-bite menu, not fried bar food, and a really nice happy hour, which makes it an easy place to settle in and stay awhile. The patio and quirky indoor space both have so much character, and the whole place feels like sitting on a backyard patio. We saw on the website that they have music on Saturday evening and some Sundays with a Wednesday movie night and other interesting events. A great spot for catching up with friends or just enjoying a Sunday glass of wine. we'll definitely be back.

The happy hour wine selection was excellent and I started with a red blend that was great, then shifted to a sparkling. The bartender was wonderful and gave me a sample to try before I ordered. I had dinner plans so don't want to eat too much, but the warm tajín olives were delicious and something I need to recreate at home. I had the most beautiful afternoon here and will come back on my next visit to San Diego!

With $1.50 oysters, it's almost like a no lose situation at this point so honestly, give it a try.

Oysters were on point and quick, raw scallop makes for a great pic, and crab toast is worth ordering multiples! I skipped the carbs by substituting lettuce for toast. And definitely squeeze the lemon all over your seafood, makes a huge difference. Parking is always "fun" in this area, but if you find one, stick around after and walk around the area. Great view of downtown San Diego across the street.

Insane flavor, best eaten right when they drop it off to your table. So much flavor but so light at the same time. Calamari is a huge portion & delicious.

Still was delicious! The focaccia they provide was great as well. I was never a tiramisu person until last night. The cream was so light and delicious, the cold soaked biscuit inside was soooo gooooddddd!!!!! Definitely a must try. The cheesecake was nice too but a bit more of a savory dessert.

Ambiance: 4/5 the restaurant is on the smaller side, would highly recommend reservations, which were easy to get on OpenTable. Only one gender neutral bathroom, which caused a bit of a wait. Overall, a great experience with great food. Prices are very reasonable. I will definitely be back!

A huge thank you as well to Rose, who kept checking in on us throughout the event and even offered to help arrange our desserts, such a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And to the fourth team member whose name I unfortunately missed (so sorry!). The evening's success wouldn't have been complete without his help and support. Speaking of the food, WOW. The menu was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. We had focaccia, grilled veggies, arancini (my personal fave), pasta, chicken that was perfectly cooked and not dry at all, and meatballs that everyone kept going back for. Every dish was a hit. To top it all off, Evan made the best old-fashioned--an absolute standout and such a great touch to the evening. You can tell this team genuinely wants your event to be successful, and that makes all the difference. Highly, highly recommend Rovino catering for any special occasion. We'll definitely be using them again!
