Little Frenchie

As if idyllic Coronado Island didn't have you at hello, Little Frenchie comes along to steal your heart. This quaint space grabs you from the very beginning as you catch sight of that counter displaying a tempting lineup of cheeses, freshly baked baguettes and silver buckets of wine. Red leather banquettes and black-and-white cityscapes—it's Paris transported to Southern California. 
The menu matches the mood, with its familiar favorites and tried-and-true classics such as Benedicts, crêpes, mussels and more. At night, the menu expands to include heartier entrées, and suggested wine pairings. French onion soup, that beautiful mess of a delight, is spot on and the fruit tart goes beyond basic, elevating a typically humble dessert.
