Description
Housed in a landmark European-style cottage built in 1927, French 75 offers a bit of France off Pacific Coast Highway in south Laguna Beach. Follow the red brick walkway past a whimsical, shake-covered wishing well to the heavy wooden door at the entrance and into the warm atmosphere of a Parisian bistro.French 75’s cozy spaces vibrate with color: rich, dark woods, ruby red and dramatic black—all enhanced by soft lighting.
The exquisitely decorated Right Bank room creates the perfect mood for the live jazz performed here Wednesday through Saturday nights. A grand piano and 1940s-era Hollywood artwork contribute to the sultry setting, where guests are seated in deep, chocolate leather booths or at long linen-clad tables with plush red velvet chairs. Floor-to-ceiling drapes along one side can be closed for more privacy. The Left Bank room, which features similar décor, also has a rustic rounded brick fireplace.
Just off the Right Bank is the Champagne Bar, notable for its mural of mischievous champagne-swigging monkeys. Sacre bleu! The bar specializes in a selection of signature martinis and champagne cocktails, including the restaurant’s namesake cocktail, purportedly invented by a World War I Franco-American flying ace, who combined champagne and cognac to produce a drink with the kick of a French 75mm artillery piece.
A hidden staircase leads to the Bordeaux room, whose wood beams and golden lighting complement the impressive floor-to-ceiling wine collection, housed in a dark wood cabinet. This private room is ideal for rehearsal dinners, dinner parties and business meetings.
French 75’s most beguiling secret, however, is Le Salon. Although it adjoins the Bordeaux Room, it’s completely concealed behind curtains. This intimate dining room is like a plush cocoon, sumptuously draped from floor to ceiling in red velvet. A single table in the center can accommodate an exclusive gathering of up to ten of your nearest and dearest. Of course, this is also an incredibly romantic spot to pop the question or celebrate an anniversary.
Small weddings and receptions are held on the inviting Garden Patio, a covered brick-paved terrace bordered by greenery. Faux-candle chandeliers add a formal touch, as do the drapes hung around the perimeter from the overhead trellis. Keep them tied back to preserve the open-air ambiance of the patio, or draw them closed for complete seclusion. A large fireplace at one end can serve as an altar if you have your ceremony here.
The staff at French 75 will gladly assist you with music and flower arrangements, along with the menu for your special event. Dishes lean towards Parisian-style bistro classics like Prime Flatiron Steak au Poivre and Shrimp en Cassoulet, but they offer a wide range of options—including Grilled Chicken and Mushroom Mac & Cheese! Note to chocoholics: their velvety Hot Chocolate Soufflé, made with Callebaut chocolate, is irresistible.
French 75 has an abundance of French charm, fabulous food and a friendly, professional staff. Whether you come here for a wedding, a private party, or just a dinner with friends, your experience will be extraordinaire!
