Si Bon

Si Bon is hands down one of the best restaurants I've tried in Palm Springs. Flavor and value for money? Both get top marks. The quality of the food is amazing for the price, and you can tell they put real care into each dish. Highly recommend this place — I’ll definitely be coming back!

5/5 - I would eat here again every time I visit desert springs Si Bon adds a twist to breakfast dishes by incorporating their waffles into the dish. For example they swap the English muffin for a waffle in the eggs Benedict. And it tastes great. The prices are fair for the amount of food you get. And the service was excellent. All in all, a great brunch experience.

What a gem of a place. The most beautiful restaurant inside and out. The food is excellent. The waitress made me an iced mocha with whipped cream and it was heavenly. I had a crepe that was filled to the brim with deliciousness and their cubed potatoes were amazing. The broccoli soup was also very good. I can’t wait to go back here. All the staff were very nice and friendly. It’s a very clean restaurant and the menu is absolutely amazing. A great place to go no matter what the occasion. There’s ample parking in the outside parking lot and many handicapped spots.

Had a great brunch at Si Bon on Monterey today. Very busy but ran like a well oiled machine. Ramiro was very attentive, with as busy as it was, well done. The food was delicious. Escargot waffle appetizer was amazing. Eggs, Benedict with Waffle, Smoked Salmon and Caviar was delicious as well. The Mango Stuffed Belgian Waffle and the French Omelette definitely did not disappoint. Wonderful atmosphere and staff can’t wait to visit for dinner as well.

Came to lunch with some friends over the lunch hour, we did make reservations prior to arriving. Restaurant has good indoor and outdoor seating, and is decorated nicely. They have a decent menu and serve n array of food items. Food was prepared quickly and everybody enjoyed their meals. Staff is friendly, but it took a while for service. Worth the visit if your in the area.

Have visited here from Wisconsin many times. We are staying at Westin Mission Hills for 2 weeks. They highly recommended Si Bon. We never knew about it. Kind of hidden spot near Albertson's on Monterrey & Country Club. No disappointment here. Excellent food, service & atmosphere. I had the Belgian Waffles & my husband had 3 eggs, potatoes (delicious), link sausage, & Foccascia. Hope to be back again before we head home.

MANGO STUFFED BELGIAN WAFFLES. A resounding winner through and through. A warm crispy buttery waffle that is cut through by the sweet stuffed mango and overlying custard and fresh fruits. The omelette was really good as well. Highly recommended for folks in the Palm Desert / Palm Springs area!

Belgian Waffles is only the tip of the gastronomic iceberg at this local eatery a favorite for tasting flavors not usually found here in the Coachella Valley. Amazing Belgian Waffles with chicken served like a taco. A wonderful deeply flavored chicken and mushroom crepe or Thai pasta salad with shrimp generously served with crispy crunchy flavors. The dining room has a charming bistro feel and service was provided with courtesy and a smile. Reasonably priced so you get a great meal for 2 for about $50. Grab a breakfast, lunch or dinner and take a culinary journey.

We enjoyed meeting Chef/owner at breakfast. Very charming restaurant They also have a bakery

Yum!!! No wait for brunch on a Saturday. Indoor and outdoor seating available. We ordered the chocolate chip pancakes, mango waffles, Tuscany Benedict and the croque monsier. Excuse the spelling... Aside from the pancakes, all the other dishes were waffle based. Very tasty, but the waffle lost their crispness half way through the meal. The dishes are quite large and certainly shareable. Just note if you share, there's a $3 charge. The service was friendly and quick. The decor felt whimsically sophisticated.

I went back after my uncomfortable $18 soup and was more educated talk to the waitress. She mentioned the other waitress should've mentioned something I said when it's over half the price of the meal it was just ridiculous, but I went back. The chef came out to make sure we were OK. I asked the manager if you talk to the boss and he said he did but no one ever came over and talk to me. It's kind of like they're hiding from. They realize this was ridiculous. $18 for the Soup. I'm still bothered by it. But I went back because the food is great. The chef is great. The atmosphere is great. It's one of my favorite places here in Palm Springs. Brian

Really love this place. Always like to come here when we're in Palm Springs. Forgot to post pics of the escargot. They were delicious! Today Luis was our server and he was spot on and so sweet and attentive. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

One of the best casual brekkie places in palm desert area. Reserve a table through open table or pop in for walk in which may be hard as they are super busy. We ordered: Yogurt with granola Berries and cream crepe Meat lovers omelette Everything was so cheap and so good with large portions. Only about $40 for those 3 plates and a juice! Love love love Potato cubes are fried in peanut oil and tasted insanely good??? I loved!

We came to visit Si Bon for breakfast. The Spanish omelet was cooked to perfection. The savory crepe was delicious. The potatoes were a revelation of simple perfection. The service was knowledgeable and professional. The outdoor patio area is a lovely respite from the sun. We enjoyed our food so much. I want to come back for dinner.

This is what one of my fave restaurants in Desert. Tonight I started with wedge salad which is priced according to desert pricing. I then had the sandabs for my entree, which were excellent. Just a bit of a crust but perfectly cooked in the inside. We then shared the chocolate mousse. They've presented it differently as I recall, but it was delicious. Service is always excellent.

Had dinner at Si Bon Saturday night for the first time and I have to say that it did not disappoint. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Si Bon will be added to our list of go-to places when we visit the area again. I highly recommend this place!

Lovely restaurant with superlative service and not-too-expensive, fresh, generous Nicoise Salad. My favorite perk: When I asked to take half my salad home, they not only brought a container and bag, but also offered to put the food in it for me. Remember pre-Covid when this was the norm?!? Now it's a rare treat, and I loved it.

Our friend highly recommended eating breakfast here and I am glad she did. I've been to Belgium before and this is the first time I've found anything close to the waffles that we had there. In fact I would say they were the best waffles I've ever had. I will come back just for the mango stuffed waffles. They were that good. I'm so glad my wife split her meal with me. I had the house made corned beef hash Benedict. It was also delicious but my poached eggs were slightly overcooked. Still very delicious.

Last week the four of us met up with our two friends who reside in Indio. They made several suggestions as to where to eat. Si Bon was on the list. Two reasons we decided to give it a try: 1) short drive from Marriott Shadow Ridge where we were staying 2) Si Bon offered 10% discount for Marriott Shadow Ridge timeshare guests. Our friend made a reservation for party of six for 10am last Thursday. We all arrived promptly and were seated quickly. We ordered from the breakfast menu. I asked our server for the correct French pronunciation to a menu item. He kiddingly said he didn't know as he's Mexican. We all busted out laughing. I ordered the croque Monsieur. You guessed it. The funny name item. I did take two years of French years back. But I failed on croque. Krowk. Ham and cheese folded inside two waffles. I added a little maple syrup on the side so I had a combo of sweet and savory. Service was attentive. We could have lingered longer but after two hours the lunch crowd was coming in. Very cute Kleenex box located in women's restroom. Reminded us of Easter Island. Check it out. We'd come again. Indoor and outdoor dining available. Plenty of parking in an outdoor shopping mall.

Came here last minute on Thanksgiving evening and were able to be seated right away miraculously! I really appreciated that accommodation. This is such an amazing restaurant and has a somewhat unique menu that was exciting to try. Not pictured is their Wedge salad that was great, the ingredients were fresh and the dressing was a nice light ranch-like dressing. Also tried the lobster bisque. The flavor was super concentrated and I would not recommend it as a soup, however I used it more as a gravy for my mashed potatoes and it was so delicious! The mussels are probably some of the best quality, they were small but plump and were perfectly flavored. Our other entrees included various types of seafood that I don't often get to try. The sand dabs were fried to a perfect crisp, it tastes a lot like tilapia. The roughy was more tender which was also great. I had the lobster with the sole, it was a really unique dish and I think the portion is great for the amount you pay, but sometimes I wish I had more of the lobster flavor. Sometimes the sole would be overpowering or have a gummy texture. Their desserts were perfect, though I think they were just for the Thanksgiving menu. I don't usually like pumpkin flavors but they balanced it with the cheesecake perfectly. I loved how lively the place was and def recommend!

I see why the place is packed and reservations are a must. The food is good, portions are big, and prices are decent. Our party of 4 shared everything and it was delicious. Highlights were the lobster chop salad (generous chunks of lobster), mango custard waffles (not overly sweet) and the Mexican crepe (you can smell the truffle oil and the crepe had a nice thickness to it). We ended with a macadamia tart a la mode--delish! Our server was very attentive and it's amazing to see how well she managed so many tables. Although restaurant was busy, she did not rush us. A lot of the older patrons dress up here, but the restaurant ambiance is very casual/low key.

If you can't get over to France, you might as well head to Sibon! The food is authentic French cuisine and the service is 100% fabulous. Our table was on the patio and it was perfectly comfortable out there - We could not choose across the huge array of dessert options so we each had to get one of everything - magnifique!!

Outstanding French cafe which we always frequent when we are in Rancho Mirage. Staff are always welcoming and attentive. Breakfast or lunch is always delicious. Today had crab ravioli today with spinach soup. Superb. Ambience like a busy cafe in France.

My wife and I spent Christmas and the following weekend in Palm Springs - and during planning, I quickly learned that restaurants with great Yelp reviews were sparse on Christmas Day! Luckily, stumbled upon Si Bon - open (w/reservations) and had some solid choices on the menu - so went online, made said reservation, and we hit it early Xmas evening. We were seated quickly...outside, but with our own heaters - VERY comfortable. The entire restaurant was booming with Christmas spirit everywhere - the decor must have taken weeks to put up. We looked at the wine menu, and were quite happy with our choices. We then perused the Xmas menu - but both of us stopped when we saw the menu item Oregon Sanddabs. We used to live outside Monterey, and we had Monterey Sanddabs several times a month - simply devine....so when we saw them here, we both pounced. While the sides were "interesting" (my wife enjoyed them, I did not), the sanddabs were as good as we both remembered - neither one of us left a morsel. The staff was friendly, the location easy to get to, and the food was exactly what we wanted - truly a win/win/win. Highly recommended!

A month later I visited this place for coffee and desert, boy was my experience a disappointment. from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. we sat in the bar area, I felt ignored. I had to ask the man that was bussing tables for a desert menu, and more coffee and the bartender for our check. our server/ waiter Adrian was not in the mood to do his job at the minimum. . The desert I ordered was terrible , it was a flavorless tarte with fruit, the coffee was terrible, it tasted burnt it was a half hr before they closed. maybe that's explains that. It was just a bad experience. if I ever decide to come back again . it will be in the morning and not sit on the bar side. my original choice was to go to Starbucks for coffee at least they would have gotten it right.

Super cute place! If you are in Palm Desert what a great spot for lunch or dinner. Chicken waffle sandwich is sooo good! The waffle is so airy and just melts in your mouth! Highly recommend to try.

Wow simply amazing dining experience! The mango stuffed Belgian waffles had all my favorite things - mango, Belgian waffle, custard, strawberries - and tasted great with maple syrup. Yum! My wife was eating light and chose the granola and Greek yogurt. My son devoured his Belgian waffles. The exterior is curiously covered with tent-like material. Inside looks like a French restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive. Don't walk run!

Service was awesome! The food was terrible. The waffle was hard and crunchy. The syrup was watered down and had a cheap surgery taste. Additionally, i ordered the menu item of coffee and croissant and the coffee came out without the croissant. Why would have a menu item that offers coffee with a croissant and you serve them separately instead of bringing them out together as it is listed on the menu. The name Si Bon is very deceiving as the breakfast food is on a level of a fast food restaurant chain. The server was very nice and I know he is not responsible for the food. I won't be back.

Found myself in Ranch Mirage and a bit hangry. I have heard of Si Bon so dropped in knowing nothing of the menu.. Wow, for me a nice find. YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes for sure. My visit was lunch at the bar and no drinks but the food and service was amazing. LOCATION: Excellent location, lots of parking. FACILITY: Very nice indoors, large and fancier but casual. The bars was very nice. MENU: Really impressive and unique for CV. FOOD PREP: Professional to say the least, wish I could get an invite to this kitchen, I be there. FOOD QUALITY: Seldom do I use the word "perfect" to describe food taste. Ordered a Crepe filled with chicken and Mushroom $19. Not an overly complicated assembly of food items but it was served to perfection! I have some work to do to replicate this dish at home. LIBATIONS: Just hate, it was great, however the lady a few seats away sucked down three martinis while I as there, hope she had an Uber. WAITSTAFF: Bartender was so much fun, my kind of quiet humor. OVERALL VALUE: Excellent, I will be back. TIP: Have some time to research their menu and enjoy... I was just lucky to have found Is Bon.

Wide selection of classic dishes, all very well executed. Service was great--we had a toddler and they rushed to bring out a waffle before she could get upset. Nice outdoor patio with space heaters as well as elegant interior. Prices were a little high, but it was a great place, food and experience for a large family birthday dinner for our grown daughter.

Stopped in to Si Bon for breakfast yesterday and was very delighted. I had the All American and my wife had the French Omelette. Nice portions size and both were delicious. Nice ambiance on the patio. I definitely recommend.

Recommend by a worker in whole food. Me and my bf went there, the waitress was so friendly. The food there was amazing good!! The decorations and environment are cool. We love the food there! Definitely go again next time if we come visit.

Great happy hour daily from 3-5pm at the bar We just came here yesterday for happy hour and it was lovely! It's a little French bistro and the bar was basically full by 4:15pm We ordered: - mussels au gratin ($14) - our favorite! - veal ossobuco ($18) - decent but small - chicken pot pie ($16) - wasn't a fan Overall the food was pretty good, but the portion sizes were small. If you were making this a full meal, you'd have to order 4-5 dishes to share between 2 people. We ended up eating elsewhere afterwards. Overall I'd give this place a 3.5/5 - rounded up for the great service

I always love coming here. Great service and I am partial to the steak frite. My friend got the three course meal. A ravioli and park with gelato for dessert. I had a Brussels sprout salad. Loved every bite. We both have lunch for tomorrow.

Excellent breakfast spot. We had the mango waffle and French crepe. Both were delicious and a Good amount of food for two people.

The breakfast here is unreal! The crepes waffles were the best ever. Everyone is super nice and we try to come here every time we are in town. Will try to come back for lunch or dinner.

We went for happy hour! They have a great selection of food choices! The filet of sole was great! A small portion but very satisfying! I highly recommended their Orange martini! The staff was very pleasant and helpful! It is a very nice restaurant!

The food was good, but I guess did not exceed expectations. I had the mango waffles with fruit and all though I really enjoyed it I would have liked a thicker more Belgian style waffle. My sister got the American breakfast and mom got crapes but neither were impressed. Please keep in mind, My sister and I just went to France not that long ago so we're a little spoiled on our French food perspective. It had a nice ambiance & was busy with lots of people enjoying a Sunday morning.

Was in the Rancho Mirage area and decided to try this place. Food was superb!! Even on such a sweltering day, I chose to eat outside on the patio with a sandwich and cold glass of beer. The waiter smelled delicious with his cologne, and the food was even more delicious lol The restaurant was packed - seemed like a very popular place! Located in a strip mall across from a bank - there is ample parking.

Si Bon was amazing. We were curious how they got away with using the Disney font, but stepping inside it almost seems like it was generated with AI. Oversized flowers on the ceiling with a faux-exterior wall with windows into the kitchen, a random gelato display case in a main thoroughfare through the kitchen and back to the bathrooms, and hanging art that genuinely looked AI-generated. I spent some time marveling at the hanging lights and trying to make sense of the decor. I would've liked the place to be a little cooler, since it was a very hot day in the desert. The menus are the coolest menus I've ever seen: They're backlit! Although one of the sides was flickering a bit. We went for the Restaurant Week special, which was a 3-course meal for $34. An incredible value. All 4 of us got 3 different dishes and got to sample each others and every single dish was amazing. I was especially a fan of the Duck Pate, Pork Loin, and Cheesecake combo. I hope they keep up this special because it was a fantastic way to try a lot of amazing different foods. Our service was attentive and helpful. We will be back.

What lovely restaurant. The moment you walk in you feel you walked into a special place. The staff is excellent and the ambience is very European whether you are in the patio or main dining area. The menu is broad and there is something for everyone. That Lady had a traditional steak and Pomme Frite, I enjoyed the Niciose salad and another of group enjoyed the Stroganoff with pasta. And a final note, their Martinis are very,very good. Our waitress Diana was an absolute dream.

What a cute cafe in Palm Desert! It is 101 degree out, and we decided to have lunch in their beautiful patio. It was amazing. They have the mister going out in the patio, as we walk into the patio, the temperature must drop 20 degrees. It was cool and comfortable! We ordered a Belgian French Toast and a Mango Stuffed Belgium Waffle. Both were excellent, and the prices were very reasonable! Their service was very good as well. Definitely will come back for brunch.

We hired Si Bon to cater our Inaugural Fundraising Tea Party. Pascale & Phillipe were great. Their food was over-the-top and as beautiful as it was tasty. We would not hesitate to work either them again in the future and have already recommended them to other people looking for a caterer.

2nd time coming here while visiting on Palm Springs ! We had a great experience the 1st time, so we wanted to come back. The staff is sweet and the prices are so reasonable !!! We always do the preset menu since it's the best deal. There's lots of parking outside ! And they are open for dinner early, as they seem to serve an older crowd.

Good Greek Salad, the steak very tender and juicy. The schnitzel was good too crunchy outside juicy inside with creamy sauce. Nice ambiance and good service

After seeing this place many times, we finally visited for breakfast on our recent trip. Not a huge egg lover so chose the Croque Monsieur without the egg. The ham itself was cold, the waffle and sauce warm. The potatoes, however, were tasty, hot, and fluffy in the middle. Service was friendly and we would definitely go back later in the day to try something different.

Always divine. We really enjoy the laidback atmosphere. We love Arturo, Silvie and the food of course! The wait staff is also the best!

The food here was great - I had the French crêpe and my husband had the sausage egg Benedict which was served on a deliciously crispy and fantastic. While all of the food was great my favorite part was the huge sea salt chunks on the cubed fries - they tasted amazing! We also ordered two hazelnut lattes and they were cloyingly sweet so would recommend to order with less sugar. However a major damper on our experience was the mosquitoes. We sat in the garden area (past the main outdoor patio) because we'd brought our dog, which was nice and quiet compared to the main patio. While sitting there each of us got at least ten mosquito bites through the meal. We got progressively itchier and itchier the longer we sat and in the end we rushed out as quickly as possible. When our server brought us our check he apologized for the mosquitoes which was nice but also that told me they were aware of how brutal the seating area was and still sat us there anyway All in all, the food was good but near impossible to enjoy because we became a meal for the resident mosquitoes.

We have eaten here several times. The food is very good and no comparison to the house coffee. A bit pricier than your typical breakfast. This weekend we went back and requested a booth in their covered patio. We graciously offered to wait. The hostess was rude and seemed annoyed at our request but we waited. After discussing, we agreed that we would be just as happy next door with a Starbucks coffee and doughnuts so we left. I think we will go elsewhere next time.

I love French cooking, got to try Si Bon while we are in P.Springs. Indoor/outdoor patio, bistro decor, tables very close together, quite noisy. Looks like a happening place lol I went for the Oregon sand dabs in lemon cream sauce and my other half had flank steak in red wine sauce. Also shared a Caesar salad. Never tried sand dabs before---texture is like sole just a lil bit more mushy. Lemony cream sauce light and smooth Flank Steak----Steak melts in your mouth, not sure if it's done 'sous vide' style but red wine sauce is tasty!

Quickly seated and order taken quickly. The fresh toast was great. They say organic maple syrup and you can see it comes from Kirkland's brand. Service was great and the group all said their choices were delicious.

We love coming here for breakfast when we visit the area. I get to have my gluten free crepe and there are other gluten free options. Our waitress was attentive and we were pleased with the service. We have always had our breakfast on the outside patio area. They keep the place warm with heaters.

So good! We love e Si Bon because the food is delicious and the service is great! We like to eat outside in the patio when's it's not too hot outside but it's a nice atmosphere.

Always amazing food Love the brunch I highly recommend this place ! Staff friendly.

Fabulous food. Papaya filled with chicken salad. Beautiful presentation and delicious.

We are staying in Palm Desert for the weekend and found Si Bon online. It's very close to our hotel and the menu looked tempting so we went for breakfast...and WOW! What a fantastic restaurant with very friendly staff and a perfect Parisian bistro atmosphere. It was decorated for the holidays beautifully and the bar was as amazing. The food was fantastic - we had the French toast, caramelized oatmeal and the All American Breakfast - with sizable portions and the best fresh ingredients prepared perfectly. We came in late morning and they were out of fresh squeezed orange juice, but they kindly made more without even being asked (that kind of thing is rare in today's food service industry and was greatly appreciated!). Our server was all smiles throughout the meal and the chef stopped by to say hello afterwards. Finally, the menu for lunch and dinner looked so great that we're coming back tomorrow night. If you're in the Palm Springs area, you MUST come in for a big treat! Happy New Year!

Convenient. Easy parking. Good, reasonably priced foods with a lot of variety. (Try the shrimp tacos!!!!) Service is friendly, quick. There's patio seating, too! The "categories" choices on Yelp are limited and actually non-descriptive. This place has a bit of everything and their "speciqals" board shows a lot of variety. Check out their website for a more accurate description.
