Loqui Sent on 12/14/2024Thank you French Gourmet!!!!!!!!
I was at a loss with a limited budget and no wedding planner and The French Gourmet team SAVED my wedding!!!!! Renee was absolutely fantastic, she heard all of my ideas and worked incredibly well with my budget. Renee was incredibly honest and helpful letting me know what was and wasn’t necessary, and that helped me so much. She understood my vision and ran with it, and the execution was perfection. The French Gourmet was my catering, bar, and wedding coordination service and they killed it. All the guests commented on the impeccable service. The bar was fantastic, all their drinks were on point and they created the best welcome cocktail ever!!!! Renee helped coordinate everything and was with me every step of the way, thank goodness! The day of, the talented Laura Reynolds was my wedding coordinator and I can’t say enough just how spectacular she was!!!! She took absolutely all the stress off of me and the wedding could not have gone more smoothly. THANK YOU for creating my most precious memory, and making it incredible!!!! -

Brittany Sent on 06/17/2024Good food, great service
The food was delicious, the staff was top notch for serving and clearing even though we had a buffet option, and the croquembouche we had as our "cake" was one of the best things I've eaten! -

We thank the French gourmet bakery and Trang for the most beautiful and extremely tasty wedding cake they catered for us. Trang was very helpful, patient and kind and helped make our special day even more special! I initially went back and forth several times about selecting my cake but Trang was so patient with me and helped me make the perfect selection. Thank you to the entire team for the amazing job they did for our big day. -

The French Gourmet was so easy to work with, and our cake came out beautiful! They also provided small desserts for our guests which were just delicious. Trang was absolute delight to work with, she was so patient with me as we had to switch our selections several times and she was most accommodating which is so nice to have throughout the planning process. You will not regret working with this vendor, they were just the best! -

I could not rave more about my wedding food! My guests loved it. I did a duo plated with chicken and steak. Potato o gratin and asparagus. It was beautifully plated, came out piping hot and the meat was cooked perfectly. I did cherries jubilee as a surprise dessert In Addition to cake and my guests raves about it as well. -

Chantel Sent on 05/26/2022Absolutely Wonderful!
Simply put, The French Gourmet is the best! We worked with them for our wedding reception. From our initial inquiry to the day of our event they were kind, attentive, responsive, professional and wonderful to work with. They worked with us to create a menu that we loved and identify the type of service that best suited us. They did a formal walk through before the wedding to ensure all details were accounted for. The night of our wedding they were incredible. The entire staff was so professional, quick and kind to everyone at the event. They helped create a romantic and elegant environment through their food presentation and service. The food was absolutely delicious. Numerous guests made it a point to comment on how good the food was. They also worked very well with the many vendors that were part of our event. Weddings are so personal and special, The French Gourmet helped make our day memorable and wonderful! I would refer them to any person looking for delicious food and wonderful service, and give them my highest recommendation. -

Amber Sent on 10/26/2021Delicious wedding cake
My husband loves cheesecake so for our wedding I thought a cheesecake wedding cake would be perfect. I had one once before at a wedding and thought it was a nice change. When I started the search for a baker I was surprised with how many did not offer that, or didn't want to try. The French Gourmet was the only baker I found that said they could make me what I wanted and Trang did a fantastic job at helping me to get exactly that. We had a beautiful and delicious 3 tiered traditional cheesecake with vanilla cake and raspberry purée. Thank you Trang for your responses to my countless emails, arranging the samples, and customizing our wedding cake. I had multiple guests ask where we got the cake from and how it was the best cake they ever had :) Thank you bakers at French Gourmet! -

Claudia Sent on 08/30/2019An Easy Choice!
While planning our wedding, my husband and I explored several catering companies and were by far the most impressed with The French Gourmet. The French Gourmet's phenomenal reputation exists for a reason. Working with them was absolutely one of the best parts of my wedding. Throughout the planning process, they were professional, responsive, and flexible. They make it easy to customize every part of the menu to our tastes. On the day of the wedding we did not have a thing to worry about. Even though at the very last minute I still had not made a seating chart for my guests, they were flexible and experienced enough to adapt their plans and still serve guests at their tables. Michel and Renee were in control and made sure that all of our needs were met. Service was friendly and efficient. The grilled flat iron steak was delicious! My only regret is that I wish I could have had time to try some of the appetizers during the cocktail hour. The French Gourmet was one of the main reasons why my wedding went off without a hitch! I would recommend them without any hesitation! -

Baptiste Sent on 05/21/2019French gourmet was an amazing choice for our wedding cake!
French gourmet was an amazing choice for our wedding. They not only made us an amazing delicious and elegant wedding cake, but they also hosted our rehearsal dinner. We received unending compliments from our quests on the quality of the food and service at French Gourmet. Michel and Jodi worked with us to make an amazing menu that was affordable and decadent. The wait staff was stellar as usual and did an amazing job servicing a large party of over 30 guests with alacrity and professionalism. I would highly recommend French Gourmet for any wedding cake or catering needs you may have, or just drop in for a delicious meal with amazing service!

Eileen Sent on 07/28/2016A recent review of The French Gourmet from our wedding… When my wife and I were engaged over a year ago we started meeting with vendors in preparation for our wedding day we read reviews of caterers and did several tastings as well in the San Diego, Ca area. We had eaten dinner previously to our tasting at The French Gourmet restaurant in La Jolla during one of my visits from Florida 2 years ago and loved the food and family style atmosphere. We decided to do a wedding tasting with them and ended up failing in love with the food and presentation. They ended up as #1 on our list of potential caterers for our wedding. We did several more tasting with other vendors after that and none could compare to the delectable tastings that The French Gourmet gave us. A few weeks ago we got married at St. Gabriel’s Catholic Church in Poway and had our reception in their newly remodeled beautiful reception hall with The French Gourmet as our caterer. Michel Macelot, French Chef, founder and owner of The French Gourmet, and his team pulled it off and made our wedding reception a perfect event for our guests. We had so many of our guests tell us that The French Gourmet's food was the best food they have had at a wedding. We would recommend their catering to anyone planning an event or their special day. -

Julie Sent on 08/10/2013I honestly can not say enough good things about the French Gourmet. Not only was Edith (my contact) honest, sincere and attentive to my requests but I felt a sense of personal pride in the work she does and the relationships she creates. They may not be the cheapest route but you most certainly get what you pay for. We were on a tight budget and after our tasting I felt confident this was a vendor to invest in. They literally blew away the competition. I never felt forced or pushed upon. She simply provided options and her input from experience and then let me make the decisions. I changed my mind time and time again and she was always relaxed and accommodating. The day of service was impeccable. I received numerous compliments on the menu and the display and linens were lovely. They take pride in their work and it shows. I will recommend the French Gourmet to everyone. They have earned a very loyal customer. -

Casey Sent on 10/09/2012Best wedding cake in San Diego!! We went to a bunch of cake tasting and French Gourmet was definitely the best. The chocolate raspberries had real raspberries and the Tiramisu is to die for. Everyone there was so nice and when I saw the cake set up on my wedding day it was beautiful. -

Catherine Sent on 09/27/2011This was the best cake I have ever tasted! They are very underfunding and embraced change and challenges... I would definitely recommend this place to everybody! -

Alice Sent on 11/27/2009If I could give them more stars I would! Two weeks prior to the wedding my original vendor went out of business and didn't even refer me to anyone else. That same day I made a panic call to The French Gourmet. They made arrangement for me to come in for a tasting right-away and they were very accommodating. On the day of the wedding, the cake arrived as scheduled and it was perfect! My guests thought it was fake until we cut into it. It was also the best cake I've ever tasted! We received several complements on the cake and guests kept coming back for seconds and thirds until there was nothing left! -

Elise Sent on 10/15/2008If you want a fabulous tasting cake, this is the place to go! Sure, it's nice if your cake looks pretty, but if it's dry and the flavors are over complicated, no one will eat it and whats the point of it being cake? I ordered a basic cake (the strawberry bagatelle) that was absolutely scrumptious - there was no cake left! -
Molly Sent on 03/29/2020
A perfect cake!
Our cake was exactly what we asked for! Trang was so easy to work with and so knowledgable for any questions we had. Our cake was 3 layers, 2 flavors, and a huge hit! All our friends and family said how much they enjoyed it. -
