The Rundown

Petite Left Bank is a traditional French café and bistro by Chef Roland Passot, located in the charming downtown of Tiburon on the coastal Tiburon peninsula. Inspired by the iconic brasseries of La Rive Gauche, the southern or “left bank” of the River Seine in Paris, Petite Left Bank blends classic French charm with a modern, coastal California twist.

By day, guests can enjoy a true café experience with freshly baked French pastries, croissants, espresso, coffee, and tea. The all-day menu showcases handcrafted dishes that embrace French European heritage with modern flavors and techniques. By night, the space transforms into a lively and inviting bistro serving French classics such as Escargot en Croute, Salade Niçoise, Moules Frites, Le PLB Burger, Beef Bourguignon, and Roasted Half Chicken.

The vibrant atmosphere is complemented by a curated wine list, artisan craft cocktails, and spirit-free beverages. Whether stopping in for a quick espresso, enjoying a meal on the patio, sipping wine at the bar, or picking up a roasted chicken dinner or picnic pack to go, Petite Left Bank offers a warm and lively experience for locals and visitors alike.
