About

Open since the early 2000s, Tartine at 1106 1st St in Coronado, CA 92118, is a European café and bistro one block from the oceanfront, operated by a woman-owned team focused on scratch-made food and in-house baking. The pastry case rotates 40-plus options daily, from pistachio ricotta tart and seven-layer chocolate cake to seasonal cheesecakes and housemade scones available for special order with 48 hours' notice. Local favorites include the Croque Monsieur, Beef Stroganoff, Shrimp Scampi, and Herb Gnocchi with truffle cream. The dinner menu features Jidori Airline Chicken Breast over risotto and Pan-Seared Flat Iron Steak, served nightly from 5:00 PM in the same block as Village Pizzeria. The boutique wine list spotlights small-production labels, and BYOB is welcome with corkage. Open daily from 7:00 AM, with Friday and Saturday kitchen service extending to 9:30 PM. For another French dining experience on the island, Little Frenchie is up Orange Avenue.
