Frenchy's Hideout

We visited this cozy French restaurant in Hillcrest on Saturday evening right after the New Year, and it was a wonderful experience. Some Christmas decorations were still up. It’s family-owned, and you’ll often see the husband and wife greeting guests, serving tables, and checking in. Even though they’ve been open less than a year, the restaurant already has a great buzz. The space is small and fills up fast, so reservations are highly recommended. We ordered the Tuna Crudo, Roasted Beet Salad, Wild King Atlantic Salmon, Duck Confit, and Red Wine Poached Pear. Everything was excellent, but the Duck Confit completely stood out—by far the best duck dish I’ve ever had, incredibly tender with a unique flavor. I’ll definitely be back just for that. The bread shown in photos must be ordered sepa

We had an absolutely wonderful dining experience from start to finish. We began with the escargot, which was perfectly prepared—rich with garlic and butter, and just the right texture. The house-made herbed butter and baguette were heavenly—the bread had the ideal crunch on the outside with a warm, soft interior, and the butter was so flavorful it was downright addictive. For the main course, I had the steak frites, which was cooked to perfection. It was topped with truffle, mushrooms, and a beautifully balanced sauce that brought everything together. My husband ordered the beef bourguignon, and it was equally impressive—the beef was incredibly tender, and the mashed potatoes, vegetables, and pearl onions complemented it perfectly. We sipped on Kir Royales, which were light, bubbly, and de

I absolutely love this spot - it's comfortable and cozy, the owners are locals, the food is delicious, and the vibe is upbeat. Most recently we had an early New Years Eve dinner and celebrated by enjoying the prix fixe menu, with beet salad, tuna crudo, steak frites, and boeuf bourguignonne. Really indulgent and spot on. Support this local business! Make reservations, because it filled up.

The Brunch was enjoyable. My friends and I enjoyed the Ratatouille Omelette, French Toast, Frenchy's Open Face Omelette, freshly baked baguette and coffee. It is a nice quaint place and the decor is nicely done and feels really special. The service was friendly and good.

SOO...Here's the scoop ! I've already been a couple of times and I AM HOOKED. So happy to have some amazing French food here in San Diego. The team here is really crushing it and they even have happy hours and wine dinners ( I just went to one this week). I've tried so many classics from the mussels to the French Onion soup (made w/ cognac), beef bourguignon, tableside creme brulee and more. OMG, I almost forgot the Filet Mignon Burger with frites and shaved truffles- WHOA. Please give it a try and see what you think and maybe you'll see me there since I can't get enough of this new local gem. Did I mention the super reasonable pricing in today's times - fantastic quality at an amazing price. Thank you Frenchy's and see you again, soon. Dave :) ps...great wines and bar scene fun for solo
