After tasting a few caterers' menus for our wedding, my husband and I decided to go with The French Gourmet and are thoroughly satisfied with our decision! Renee Hirsh worked with us closely and put a lot of care into what was important for our special day. We were lucky enough to have her as our Day Of Coordinator, which she went above and beyond her duties! She caught every single detail and reviewed everything with us to the letter. Our guests loved the food, presentation and service, and we received several compliments of our family style dinner which was elegant but yet had a sense of "home". The FG truly captured the experience that we wanted to share with our guests. Thank you for making our wedding such a success!

This 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!

I changed my mind about my cake design a couple of times and Jenny and the French Gourmet was kind and patient and totally understanding. The cake tasted delicious!! I am super happy we bought a larger one than we needed so that I can still enjoy it! Nothing is better than an amazing wedding cake to top of the day!!

We loved the French Gourmet. We had a destination wedding in San Diego, Ca and ordered our cupcakes and small cake from this bakery. They were so helpful and the cakes/desserts were delicious. We loved them! We didn't want a traditional wedding cake so instead ordered a small round cake and red velvet cupcakes.

The French Gourmet catered our wedding reception on 10/17 (yesterday) at the Scripps Forum in La Jolla. I had to jump online immediately to give them the 5 stars they deserve (I wish I could give more)! The food was amazing - every guest let us know that. I can't wait to eat the leftovers today. The cake was the best tasting cake I've ever had - we had multiple flavors, and I tried them all. The service was seamless and very professional. They were pretty much our wedding day of coordinator as well (since we couldn't be there to set up), and they worked really well with all of our vendors.
Most importantly, Charlie from the French Gourmet spent a lot of time getting to know us and made sure our decor and setup was perfect. When it rained the morning of our (outdoor) wedding, Charlie rearranged everything so that it was setup inside with a beautiful view of the ocean (and we never once were worried about how it would look). The setup turned out even better than our original plan!!!
To sum up, French Gourmet's catering rocks (especially Charlie)!

My husband and I didn't want a traditional wedding cake. We really wanted a croquembouche. All of our research sent us to The French Gourmet. We hit the jackpot here. The cream puffs were amazing and the price was great. Since then ive order many for different family functions and friends bdays. They always work with me on the designs and colors and it always tastes great.

The cake was amazing! It looked perfect, and after much cake tasting, they clearly have the best flavors in San Diego. they were very responsive, called several times to check on the details, and were very helpful and accommodating even when our custom cake topper cased some extra work and a change in design.

Our whole experience with The French Gourmet since day one has been exceptional! They exude professionalism and such kindness. Our Wedding was perfect! We can't wait to have another party to use their services again! Michel, the Owner, is so delightful and him and his staff create the most delicious of foods! Absolutely amazingly good! We were so lucky to have their top Wedding Angel, Renee Hirsh guides us in the right direction, as far picking out linens, food for cocktail hour and reception and also going above and beyond in helping with the smallest of details. They run a tight ship over there and are completely on top of everything. It put us at ease knowing we had such a great company providing all of our food, the most important part of any event! Thank you FG for being incredible and for helping us manifest our dream Wedding! We will highly recommend you and Renee to everyone!! We can't thank you enough.
Much love,
Shelly & Ben Franz

We decided to use French Gourmet after tastings at a couple of other local caterers. French Gourmet, by far, had the best food for cost. Edith was amazing. She was also very quick to respond to my emails and questions. She was able to meet at the venue and whenever we needed to meet at the restaurant to go over details. The cake was amazing. There were only two pieces left at the end of the reception! Everybody thought it was delish!! If you are looking for great wedding food and service, I would recommend talking to Edith about a tasting!!

The French Gourmet has great quality food for the cost. We were amaze at this caterer after visiting many other ones in our local area. Everyone at our wedding thought the food was delicious. They're a wonderful vendor, and i think they're the best in the business.

If 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!

Jenny and the staff and the French Gourmet were extremely nice and made my cake exactly to my specifications. My cake was very simple but still beautifull. The price I paid was well worth it. My guests all raved about how delicious the cake was. Great Job guys!! My husband and I also frequently visit the bakery. They have the best selection of pasteries.

We absolutely love The French Gourmet Bakery! The cake tasting went smoothly and it was straight to the point. The delivery was on schedule and the cake tasted great! Everyone loved our choice of the Strawberry Bavarian.

The French Gourmet was contracted with our venue, but we would definitely recommend them to anyone for any occassion. They were flexible with what we wanted, had a great selection of cakes and decorating styles. The cake was gorgeous and delicious.

The French Gourmet was an exceptional caterer. My guest love the food and went back for seconds (if they could). I would recommend this place and I plan to visit the restaurant when I can. My wedding cake was also included in my contract at a set price and they gave no restrictions on what I could have done and what type of cake I could have.
