Farm-to-table café and gourmet market at 7837 Girard Ave in La Jolla's Village, 92037, family-owned and operated since 1987. Girard Gourmet is run by Belgian owners François and Diana Goedhuys, who source organic ingredients to build a menu of fresh salads, hot entrées, sandwiches, soups, and house-made pastries that changes daily — and the Girard address places it on the same block as Parfait Paris, giving this stretch two of La Jolla's most European-influenced kitchens. The deli case stocks a rotating selection of European-style prepared foods alongside imported pantry goods. A rare find on Girard — real cooking, market quality, neighborhood prices. Open daily for breakfast and lunch, and Fay Avenue visitors who want the same old-world pastry craft with Belgian chocolate head to Michele Coulon Dessertier.
