" Chez Philippe is simply magnificent. The moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warmth and charm of this French bistro. I enjoyed their exquisite cassoulet, which was hearty and flavorful without being heavy. The bread was fresh and paired wonderfully with our meal. I appreciated that the staff was knowledgeable about the wines, which made the dinner even more enjoyable. I’m looking forward to my next visit for brunch! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our recent visit to Chez Philippe was charming and delightful. The food was exceptional, highlighted by the succulent beef bourguignon that melted in my mouth. The ambiance felt like a perfect French café, which added to our overall dining experience. The service was attentive without being overwhelming. The only downside was the slight wait for food to arrive, but the quality was worth it. I look forward to bringing my friends here for a taste of authentic French delights. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful surprise this place was! I stumbled upon Chez Philippe while exploring Los Gatos and decided to drop in for lunch. The weather was perfect for outdoor seating, and the patio was beautifully adorned with flowers. I ordered the escargot and a goat cheese salad, both of which were fantastic! The escargot was tender and flavorful, soaking up the garlic butter perfectly. I felt like I was back in a cozy Parisian bistro. The service was friendly yet professional. I’m looking forward to coming back and trying their dinner menu next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Chez Philippe is a gem! We went for brunch on a Sunday, and it was perfect. We had perfectly crafted omelets and a delicious croque monsieur. The atmosphere was vibrant, yet cozy, making it a pleasant dining experience. The service could improve – it took a little longer to get our check – but the amazing food made it worth it. I plan to be back frequently! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came to Chez Philippe with high hopes, and I wasn’t disappointed! The onion soup was delightful, both warming and satisfying. The ambiance created a beautiful setting for our meal, which was nice after a long week. I had the mussels and frites, which were very tasty, but the service was a little slow. Thankfully, the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time, so it didn’t ruin our experience. I would recommend visiting for a comforting meal any time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations based on the reviews, but Chez Philippe was a bit underwhelming for my taste. While the ambiance is lovely and truly exudes that French bistro vibe, I found the food to be average for what I hoped was exceptional. My duck confit was nice but not exceptional; it needed a bit more seasoning. The service, however, was prompt and friendly, which made the experience pleasant enough. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items, as I see so many positive reviews. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" After several visits, I can confidently say that Chez Philippe never disappoints! The authentic French menu transports you directly to France. It’s a great place for festive occasions. I particularly enjoy the Grand Marnier Souffle for dessert. It’s the perfect ending to a wonderful dinner. The service is always friendly, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. Highly recommend!
