🥐🍳 Fresh, simple, and unmistakably French.
Our fluffy omelette is served with an organic mixed greens salad, tossed in our house-made Dijon vinaigrette and finished with a touch of balsamic glaze. Paired with one of our hand-rolled French butter croissants, baked fresh daily, it’s the perfect breakfast or light lunch by the coast.
At French Corner, we believe the simplest ingredients deserve the most care. 🇫🇷
