Mille Fleurs
Despite the rotation of chefs over the years, those who have dined at this elegant Rancho Santa Fe eatery since 1985 can always count on haute cuisine of sophisticated comfort classics. Menu favorites include starters like deviled eggs and beef tartare and mains that range from Wiener schnitzel to mallard duck breast; other dishes rotate with the harvest from farms and purveyors. The elegant dining rooms are decorated like a French villa, adorned with vintage Delft-style tiles imported from Portugal. In summer, the romantic courtyard under the 100-year-old Chinese Oak Tree is the preferred dining spot. Visit on a Friday or Saturday evening for live piano.
