Cafe Des Beaux-Arts

Nice French place. We had lunch. My wife had a shrimp Louis salad which had an interesting presentation and was heavy on the shrimp. I had braised chicken in red wine dish which was tasty.

Miguel (our waiter) crafted our French meal as he likes eating there. What a treat!!!
Loving being in vacation in Palm Desert.

Quaint, delicious, and personable French restaurant that has everything right. The front of house lead is hilarious and cares very much that you enjoy your visit. The kitchen puts out amazing food, we had the escargot, tomato bouillabaisse, and charbroiled Salmon with Dill sauce. It was packed in there, given this the service was just about perfect. Had some small wait times to get extra things - but once flagged down the staff were very fast. We always visit when in Palm Desert!

My wife and I had a wonderful dinner tonight. Tonight’s special was a white fish, perfectly grilled, moist on the inside with a light crust. The Crepe Suzette was perfect with a balance of orange, lemon, and brown sugar. One can taste the fragrance of the orange, the sweetness of the sugar, and the zest of lemon. Wonderful experience.

Excellent French Toast and French Bellini! Their Frittata is also great!
Our first-choice breakfast spot whenever we visit the area!

This restaurant is located at a perfect location on El Paseo shopping district in Palm Desert. You are within walking distance from world-class stores.

As for the food, they have great quality food for a reasonable price. I had ordered the Eggs Benedict with Canadian Bacon - which you can substitute for Smoked Salmon - with Orange Juice, and the combination of the two was great. Family ordered the Frittata and simple crepes for breakfast and they enjoyed theirs as well. Definitely will go back!

Had a group brunch and fabulous food. Service was very attentive to all. Great atmosphere. Menu had so many choices.

Dinner was amazing!! The atmosphere reminds me of Paris and the shrimp crepe with a gluten free crepe was incredibly delicious!! Yum!! They even had a kid menu to color on with some easy activities too. Also had the Nutella and banana crepe for dessert with the gluten free crepe and that was tasty too. It wasn't nearly as amazing as the shrimp crepes, but maybe that's because the shrimp crepes were insanely good.

Excellent French cuisine. Very pleased to see they offered escargot. Sweet staff relaxing environment and very reasonable prices...loved it.

5 stars all around. Friendly and professional service. A local's favorite. Try the escargot!

Best. French. Restaurant. EVER!!! I loved my ham and cheese crepe and the fruit on the side. The bread was DELICIOUS! The onion soup was 👌🏻perfect, the Nutella crêpe and the crème brûlée was the cherry on top! Best restaurant ever! Plus,the servers were very nice. You have to try this!

The place was great, perfect location, server is ok, the food was delicious they have nice ambiance. It is closer in the shopping center in El Paseo. Definitely go back again,

Karim - very good waiter. There are very delicious pasta and soup here.

After driving by this place so often we decided to dive in and try the lunch bunch. Loved everything about it.

One of our favorite places to go when we are in town! We love to eat at the bar.

A lovely open air older place right on El Paseo. Good menu & service . Older crowd.

Super friendly staff with excellent service. Food was really delicious. Highly recommended.

Wonderful French Cafe- which is NOT to say this is just a little spot for a croissant and coffee, no! This is a full menu, top-notch, French restaurant!!!

Great wines, small plates, entrees, and desserts! We sat in the cozy street-side semi-outdoor section on a cold evening without feeling the cold at all. So we were able to enjoy the night around us under the dimly lit inferior.

Service was attentive and friendly, prices were competitive, plating beautiful and the portion size was not overwhelming, but just right.

We were a small group of friends but it would also be a great place for a romantic evening or a family with children.

I had the crab stuffed avocado which was FABULOUS. groends had the Coq au Vin and beef tips, and all were reported delicious!!

I'd recommend reservations. The GM stopped by our table several times as did the server just to make sure we were doing well.

Wonderful dining experience!
