Some of the best food in North County. The $50 grilled cheese is one of the greatest things I have ever eaten. Lobster in truffle oil and gruyere cheese. Ridiculous! more

Wow, for an evening to celebrate, this was an excellent choice. The name struck us as hysterical, of course, we were thinking "moose" until we drove up and saw the marquis. Then, we assumed that this French fusion locale with murals of geese everywhere was named after some type of foie gras. Clearly, we were hungry to the point of... more

I dined at the Pamplemousse Grille in March 2009. I selected this restaurant because of its Zagat rating and proximity to my hotel. I made a reservation. It was early, and when I arrived there were few cars in the parking lot, so I was a little worried. The hostess gave me the choice of seats -- I didn't have... more

We have been several times to this restaurant because of the high quality of the food, but I am wondering that it might be possible that the chef/owner would be wise to pay more attention to the staff out front as his front desk tends to be a bit snooty, and not at all competent.

We went to Pamplemousse after hearing about it from several people, and we were not disappointed. This definitely ranks as one of the best meals I have ever had. The service was impeccable. It is very pricey, but, it was worth every penny! The gnocchi appetizer with truffles was maybe the best thing I have ever eaten. For a splurge,... more

This restaurant is amazing. No fabulous views or anything, but the food was amazing. I've been for holidays, so of course they offered a prix fixe menu, but everything was delicious. I most recently went to Pamplemousse V-day 2008 and got lucky because they offered a sort of "upgrade" to the 1st course: a gnocchi appetizer with shaved black truffles... more
