    Game for the chocolate stayed for the wine and company. For the last couple months, I have seen quite a few TikTok posts about little Frenchies... And all are about the incredible massive chocolate mous3! And wow, does it stand up to the hype!!! I have had a few meals at franchise and little cocktails, but having the chocolate mousse with a glass of champagne topped it all. The weight staff was so attentive and helpful, if you get the chocolate, it is a massive portion. The ambience at little Frenchies is tiny and quaint. It is fantastic for an afternoon brunch and then a trip to the beach.

    This is the place you have to bring out of town guests. With outdoor seating for people watching. We had the Beef short rib hash, Le Burger, Salmon Benedict. Our favorite is still the burger. This time we had the mango & passion fruit cruffin. So delicious. I do recommend making a reservation or you won't get in. They are always very busy. Service is always amazing. Serving sizes are large so easy to share.

    The ambiance is amazing, you're in Coronado, and the beach is minutes away just walking. The service was great and they check up on you and it is very appreciated. I give this place a poor review not because of the ambience but the food was sub-par at its best. I think the experience is okay and the wait pouring the hot chocolate is well done but the food was not worth the price paying. The churro embedded style hot chocolate was over hyped. The croissant was not taste, the salad it comes with taste better. The matcha was exquisite and very refreshing however, the mussels were elegantly placed in a bucket platter that was nicely done. The best flavor-full item had to be the fries . They were amazing and I would get them as is . I can't not recommend this place and would give it a 3/10.

    Food: Was disappointed that my daughter's buttered noodles came out as noodle soup. Seems like it was not strained enough before it left the kitchen. They addressed it immediately but should have never left the kitchen like that. My other daughter ordered a well-done steak yet it was still very bloody. Her fries were good. My wife and my mom had the roast beef french dip and it did look good. My wagyu burger was okay. I ordered it medium with a sunny-side egg and truffle fries. i will say the truffle sauce was really good. My dad had the buckwheat crepe and he said it was good as well. We also had the viral hot chocolate dish. That was really good. Nothing really blew us away but it was a good meal. Service: Service was good overall. Nothing that went above and beyond. I do wish I was offered a copy of the receipt (was never offered) as I now look at the overall cost of the bill on my card, its seems like it may have been more than it should have been. Ambiance: Overall, it was okay. I dont think it lived up to the overall hype Ive seen online. I would have rated this establishment as a 3-star but its getting a 2-star for the issue with both of my daughter's dishes. I also should be offered a receipt after paying which I was not. Server seemed to be rushing us off but maybe he was just busy. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Even after all this, I still tipped 20%.

    Gotta admit, what got me here was their viral hot chocolate croissant, but it lived to the hype. We had a group of five and had a full brunch here with the croissant being our sweet dessert at the end. The hot chocolate was thick, but not too sweet, while the croissant was the perfect flakiness. Hands down, 11/10! Our group enjoyed it very much. Our server, Janiss was one of the best servers I've come across! She described the dishes to perfection, her positive energy was infectious, and she was attentive the whole time we were there. Definitely 11/10 on service. I had their espresso martini, which was delicious, 9/10. Got their Benedict that came with a side salad. Rating it a 8/10, not because it was bad, but it just wasn't as memorable as other benedicts I've had. I had a couple of bites of the French dip. The Au jus sauce was the right consistency and wasn't too salty, as some French dips tend to be, so I give it a solid 9/10. And the place was quaint and charming. Stepping in brought me back to Paris, with its blue umbrellas, wicker chairs, and traditional booth tables. 11/10 on ambiance. Definitely a place to visit if you're wanting a little bit of French vibes, while you're in San Diego.

    Croissant wheel

    This little café reminded me of a Parisian café. We actually came for their viral hot chocolate croissant, and it definitely lived up to the hype. It's basically a croissant wheel that they pour hot chocolate into. The café is really cute. We also ordered the Croissant Benedict and the French Dip, and everything was really good. But that chocolate croissant was what we came for and it did not disappoint. If you're in the area, I highly recommend making a reservation and checking it out.

    Hot chocolate with spiral cup
    Grace C.

    My friends and I were in town and everyone except me saw a video of Little Frenchie's viral hot chocolate in the croissant cup, so we got ourselves a brunch reservation on our last day in town to try that! Even though it was a Wednesday, the place was packed and they did not allow any walk-ins, reservations only. We ordered a bunch of stuff to share: * Parisian Hot Chocolate ($16) with two spiral cups ($6 each) as add-on * French Onion Soup ($22) * GB&J ($22) with bacon add-on ($4) * The Frenchie Dip ($28) The hot chocolate is decadent and best consumed with the spiral cup. If you just want a taste, one pot is enough for 2-3 people. For our group of 4, two spiral cups (aka the croissant) gave each of us a nice amount of croissant-hot chocolate ratio to enjoy. All the food we ordered was quite yummy! We split it all and was sufficiently satisfied without feeling too food comatose. Our favorite, besides the hot chocolate with spiral cup, was the GB&J with bacon (do not skip on the bacon). Our server was awesome and so was everyone at Little Frenchie. We were checked on several times during our meal to make sure our food was okay and whether we needed anyone. The cafe itself is such a cute and fun brunch spot. If it wasn't so hot, we would've opted for a table outside. I think I saw a small parking lot, but we just took our chances with street parking.

    Parisian Chocolate Flan Tart

    Definitely one of the top spots in SD to get some French food. I'm not going to pretend that I have a lot of experience in French cuisine, but for what it's worth's it was delicious. I had the Frenchie dip. It was the BEST French Dip that I've had.the bread and meat combo was simple yet delicious. The Au Jus sauce was so flavorful. For dessert we had the Parisian hot chocolate. It was decadent and delicious. The chocolate combined with the pastry was so mouth watering. Service was amazing as the staff are kind and knowledgeable. It does suck that this place is reservations only as I saw people get turned down, but i guess that means the demand is high. Definitely a unique spot to check Out if you're in SD!

    They deliver the bill in a passport- like book. So cute!

    Hanging in Coronado, you have to stop this adorable brunch spot! I definitely recommend sitting outside to enjoy the amazing weather. I came here with some friends while visiting San Diego and this place did not disappoint! Tyler was our server and he was truly patient, kind and flexibly during our dining experience. We ordered the banana Nutella croissant that was out of this world! Soooo good! It's definitely large enough to share with 3-4 peoples but it tasted so good that you may not want to share lol It's enormous, so don't be greedy lol I ordered the avocado toast and it was delightfully delicious! It was so good that I forgot to take a pic of it before I devoured it lol I polished everything off with an extra sweet caramel latte, made my Tyler, that was delicious to the last drop! Final tip ....MAKE RESERVATIONS or you may not have the opportunity to experiment this gem! I saw many people being turned away on a weekday because they were booked solid with reservations.

    French dip and beef short rib hash
    Kristine C.

    Make sure you have a reservation as they had a sign posted that said no walk ins. We sat at a patio table outside with plenty of shade which was appreciated especially since we had the fur babies with us. The servers were very friendly! Everything we tried was tasty! But the dishes are pretty heavy so keep that in mind. We tried the French dip, the short rib hash, and the hot chocolate I wouldn't add the table side cheese service , but that was just my personal preference It's on a Main Street so give yourself some time to park and walk

    Nutella and banana crepe

    Thank you Emily for accommodating us! Emily did what she could to seat us even though the restaurant was fully booked. We had arrived late to our reservation due to an accident in traffic, but the staff did what they could to get ensure my daughter was not disappointed. We are so very grateful! Aside from the wonderful staff, the food was delicious. I am obsessed with finding the perfect latte. We ordered a latte with marshmallow syrup that went amazingly with the crepe we ordered. The establishment is clean, beautiful, and well-operated.

    Loveeeeed this place so much. Everything was so delicious and perfectly made. It felt like we were in France. Our server was also so sweet and patient with us as we decided what we wanted to get. The hot chocolate was the best part of the meal in my opinion. Would definitely go back if we were ever in the area again

    beef short rib hash
    Rebeca T.

    Tried out the Little frenchie after the Instagram of the hot chocolate in the croissant video reached me. My friend and I made reservations, which I would recommend especially for a weekend. We received great service from the hostess and servers. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Our server gave us tips on how to enjoy the food we ordered best. I did not try the French dip, but it looked good. I had the rib hash. It was delicious. The mushrooms were just soaked in great flavor from the beef and all the seasonings. I would recommend the rib hash. The hot chocolate was delicious, a little bit too sweet for my taste. Which I didn't know as I never had " Parisian" hot chocolate before. But I can definitely see people truly enjoying this. I did order a latte that I enjoyed much more than the chocolate. I didn't pay that much attention to the place itself. You could say it's an unassuming spot with good service. Overall a good experience and would recommend you try it out.

    Yes, they have a brunch kids menu and a dinner kids menu.

    How is parking ? Do they have a private parking lot?

    No private parking lot. Drove around to find a spot around the corner.

    Does Little Frenchie serve cheese boards during brunch hours?

    Is the patio pet friendly?

    Call to check with them. When we were there, a couple did have a dog in a stroller. Front patio was kind of cramped and small but restaurant was very very good and worth doing!

    OMG. We visited San Diego two years ago and came to Vinarius on a YELP suggestion. It was…read moreunbelievable. Although the food is more American-Italian, it was one of the best things we have ever tasted. This time was no different. I am a pretty fair cook, and one of my specialties is Chicken Parmigiana. People have raved about my dish. But what I had at Vinarius was on a completely different level. I don't even know how to describe it. The taste was other-worldly. I can't remember what my wife had, but she enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed mine. We also had garlic bread that was the best we have ever had. How they made it so much better than any other garlic bread we've had is a mystery. We topped the meal off with Tiramisu. There's an Italian restaurant near us where we live that makes a delicious Tiramisu, but again, this was two or three steps above. Other than the food, the place is so warm, comfortable and inviting. You truly feel like you're sitting in a small cafe in Napoli. This will be THE stop any time we are in San Diego. Meravigliosa.

    Our second time here, first review. Both times 10 stars. The food is fantastic, clearly. I can't…read moreadd much more in that area that hasn't already been shared. What I would like to emphasize is the professionalism of the inner workings of this restaurant, the behind-the-scenes efforts that truly make it a 'next level' venue. Some places hit near perfect on food, or on service, or on ambience / cleanliness. Vinarius is a unicorn, a trifecta hitting all three. From the moment you enter, the staff's enthusiasm to have you as a guest is evident. The warmth, their inflection - so intentional, so genuine, so wonderful. From welcoming you from the curb through settling your account. The staff has multiple eyes on plates as they enter the chef's window, the constant and subtle movement on the floor means you can request something at ANYTIME without filling rushed or bothered. The intimate design and layout are authentic and create a peaceful yet exciting experience. In closing, Classic Expressos to begin, vast and wonderful wine selection, Fettuccine Alfredo with salmon, Pollo al Marsala and the Tiramisu to close out could NOT have been better. If I knew the names of the entire staff, I'd call them all out - as they truly function as a world series level team. But of note, Jacob - thank you for making our night extra special and taking such great care of us. Vinarius = as good as it gets. See you soon.
