This is the go to place for the Pacific Photography Society Meet Up Group about once a month. There is usually a fairly large group and we have been accomodated on the patio as well as inside. The breakfast and lunches are great and the service is amazing for such a large group.

Well run and nice wait staff. We very much enjoyed our meal. Ambiance isn't the best, but it's still worth a visit.

They serve good a breakfast at a good price. Nice people and the food is fresh. Farm to Table. Plenty of parking in the morning.

I've only stopped here for a morning pastry and iced tea, so my comments are limited to this narrow exposure. That said, St. Germain's looks better than what it delivers. Not bad, just on par with the neighboring Starbucks, but the atmosphere is better. Perhaps the full breakfasts and lunches are better.

Ate lunch at St. Germains on Saturday and it was a lovely experience. We ended up order the b.c.a. Kobe burger -- mine with sweet potato fries and my husband had the garlic fries. The burgers were lean and tasty.The bacon was crisp and the sliced avocado added a fresh, summery taste. They had a very nice patio area along... More

This was one of the BEST dog-friendly restaurant experiences I have had! The food was FRESH--the salad had a nice mix of greens with a delicious champagne vinagrette dressing. The salmon BLT was outstanding--the salmon filet was fresh and it was served on yummy ciabatta. The chicken tortilla soup was OUTSTANDING! The burger was huge with good condiments. The patio... More

I ordered some sort of Asian gourmet Kobe burger with peanut sauce, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. The meat itself was so juicy (unlike any burger I've ever had). Indescribable. There's also a lovely courtyard area to enjoy one's food and wine. My only wish is that there were more franchises of this place. Definitely a... More

St. Germains Cafe is right on Pacific Coast Highway (Rte 101) in downtown Encinitas, We had a window table overlooking the PCH and sidewalk. I'd describe the decor as subdued early Ikea. Our server was very friendly, courteous and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were pleased with everything. We started with a shared seared Ahi tuna appetizer that... More

My husband and I have dined at St. Germaine's Cafe twice for dinner. Both times, we had excellent service, wonderful food, and a great all-around experience! They have an outdoor dining area with heaters...charming restaurant! I am a vegetarian and both times I found delicious food on the menu. My favorite so far was a zucchini lasagna of sorts...no pasta... More
