L’orangerie

L'Orangerie is my new favorite restaurant in Coronado. Chef Philippe is an artist. The best pomme frites (French fries) I have ever had. There are two other French restaurants in Coronado, but this exceeds them both. The lovely salt and fresh cracked pepper mill that are on each table are unnecessary. The food is perfect without it. The restaurant is elegant with a hint of modern. The color orange is played up with real potted plants. And the fuchsia colored hydrangea outside are beautiful. I highly recommend the dining experience.

Delicious, fresh, seasonal food in a beautiful setting, cooked and served by a charming French husband and wife team. I booked a reservation after walking by - I could hardly stand the charm; white table cloths, black and white umbrellas, flowers, all in the shadow of the Coronado Historic Association's beautiful building. Meeting the husband and wife team made the entire experience all the more charming.The food was fresh and delicious. A few items were unavailable because they had run out, but for understandable reasons - we had a later reservation (8pm) and they were packed (they shared it was their busiest night since opening 8 weeks prior!). We will be back and hope they continue to have success!

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!

Stopped in with my wife for dinner, great meal, really enjoyed the cheese board. The chef stopped by the table and told us we would love his French butter and he was not wrong.

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!!

The food is delicious and the drinks are amazing outdoors sitting and pet friendly. Will definitely be back soon

My husband and I had an amazing bottle of wine with a small charcuterie board which also comes with delicious bread it was all fabulous! Then he ordered the artichoke risotto and I had the Salmon, once again, incredible! The chef will come check on you to make sure your are happy with your meal. It started to cool down so they brought over a heater which made the rest of the evening very enjoyable. There is also inside dining however, we have always loved being outside. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant.

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. :)

The food and service was wonderful. Great addition here in Coronado. We'll be back.

This place is great! Truly French preparations and high quality ingredients. I've had dinner here several times and enjoyed everything I've had. Be sure and ask for the French butter to go with the baguette, small extra charge. Salad and veggies are fresh and well prepared. The chicken is tender and flavorful, so is the pan fried steak. If ordering risotto ask to have the mushrooms added....so good.
