Amazing authentic French food, provides the perfect cute seating and eating experience no matter which time of the day you come. The chef really cares about his food/quality and often comes out to converse with diners. The staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive every time.
I recommend going on Tuesday for the soufflés. Other amazing dishes: escargot had the perfect buttery garlic seasoning, duck was cooked perfectly, the basic bread and butter are delicious and fresh.

I went on Thursday evening to celebrate my friend’s birthday. They had live Jazz music performances that created a relaxing atmosphere that went so well with their beautiful and delicious dishes. The server was very nice and friendly. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back soon!

This is a charming restaurant that is much bigger than it looks from the entrance rooms. There is a lovely back room with a live feed of the Eiffel Tower and a very nice patio area with a number of tables to sit outside. Our server was well versed in the offerings for lunch and gave excellent advice in my opinion. She was friendly, professional and highly efficient. We were celebrating a birthday and they brought the one dessert we ordered with a candle and sang Happy Birthday with us. We all had the excellent Onion Soup and split the Nicosie Salad and the house bread. A great experience and the owner was very attentive to our party as well and very charming.

One of the best French bistros in the Bay Area. The husband and wife team outdo themselves every time. It’s important to get the specials which come around every so often such as the white bean stew or an excellent steak at lunch. And to miss the desserts would be a disaster.
Best French onion soup I ever had. They make their own baguettes, which are for sale on site or to go.
A place that tastes and feels like home. Cozy, intimate, indoor seats and a great patio in the back, make reservations.

Beautiful i door and outdoor (especially the backyard), great service with servers always being present and accommodating food changes
Cons: not very pleasant to pass through fridges and dishes to get to the backyard! They should really guide guest through the indoor seating area to the backyard.
Neither size of the food and taste doesn’t justify the price. Duck was very small and nothing different from a chicken thigh. French onion soup was not bad but there are better options out there.
Menu options are too little.

The food is consistently so good. When the owner is the head chef you are guaranteed a top quality meal, it’s authentic and cooked perfectly . Service is always very attentive.
We always have a great experience . The coq au vin and the beouf Bourgione are just beautiful dishes. We just love Chez Philippe

is always polite to his customers.
!!new girl blonde waitress, She is very rude
I was unpleasantly surprised when she did the table service for us it was terrible but when I wanted to look at the photo next to the toilet when I was waiting for my husband, she told me to get out of here this is not acceptable for guests especially since we are not in this wonderful restaurant for the first time, I will choose another restaurant the next time, thank you!

Cozy & quaint place on the main street in LG. Excellent pate, delicious mussels, fresh, big with very tasty tarragon salty broth. Served hot. Everything we ordered was delicious. Reasonably priced French wines. Will return here. Must try if you like simple tasty French cuisine.

If you’re looking to travel into the streets of Paris for a brunch / lunch / dinner for a date night or just to make you happy, you can now find that in the beautiful Santa Cruz Ave of Los Gatos. Chez Philippe picks you up from a great neighborhood and instantly sends you into a classy, French storybook that is packed with homeliness, and none of the haughty chin up.
We visited CP (Chez Philippe) on a slightly drizzly brunch hour on a Sunday. We were in Los Gatos for their Sunday Street Market but the drizzle made us choose an early lunch. 4.6 stars on Google is no easy feat so we were excited to know there were seats availalable.
Unlike typical French restaurants where everything is snooty, if not unnecessarily greasy, we were welcomed as if we were visiting a distant relative in their beautiful cottage, somehow in the outskirts of Paris. The huge windows let in the wet sunlight with window-side tables occupied by a loving elderly couple… a perfect scene that sets the mood. Chef Philippe (I would think he is) seems he’s moved over from France and truly gave us a loving welcome and intro to the restaurant. The interior is literally a picture book with various corners all carrying their unique stories but all strung together with the air they share.
By the time we were ordering, our mood was already soft and I was sipping on delicious coffee. We went with the Onion Soup and the Escargot, as well as sweet crepes, etc. The onion soup inches near perfection in terms of the depth of taste and the wholesomeness it provides. The star of the show was the escargot though. I do not know what black magic they used to create the garlic butter sauce the escargots sat in but it was pure heaven. Just dipping fresh baguette into the escarbot pits and chewing on it simply made my day. At that point, my review was already decided. It was one of the happiest and tastiest experiences I’ve had in the Bay Area in a while. And mind you, I wasn’t even that hungry.
The mussels were fabulous with distinct white wine sauce. The French Fries were clearly made with love. And the strawberry crepes, again, were quite good, although you really can’t go too wrong here.
Chez Philippe truly is a gem in Los Gatos. I believe it is relatively new but I don’t come here too often. Either way, what a wonderful restaurant. And we’ll absolutely be back.

My partner surprised me with reservations at Chez Phillippe because I’d been wanting to go for a while. He even spoke with the chef beforehand and was told they could accommodate gluten-free. When we arrived, I told our server about my dietary needs and ordered the Duck L ’orange special, which was supposed to come with vegetables and mashed potatoes.
The dish came out with rice pilaf, and when I asked if it was gluten-free, the server quickly took it back. My partner asked that the plate be completely remade to avoid cross-contamination. A few minutes later, it returned — but it clearly hadn’t been remade. I took a few bites of the duck before noticing bits of pilaf still on the plate. They had just scraped it off and added more green beans.
I lost my appetite knowing I’d likely get sick and asked for it to be taken away. The restaurant only took $20 off the bill, and when my partner emailed later, the response basically questioned whether my reaction came from their food.
We’re Los Gatos locals, and it’s really disappointing to have such an experience at a restaurant we were excited to support. For anyone with celiac or food sensitivities, please be careful dining here. The staff was polite, but the kitchen did not take gluten-free safety seriously.
