Palm Springs’ French Secret – Pomme Frite Review!

📍 Pomme Frite 256 S Palm Canyon Dr, Palm Springs This cozy bistro proves French onion soup can be life-changing and duck legs deserve plate-licking – a Palm Springs ritual you’ll repeat forever. 🏆 Why It’s a Must ✔ Soup sorcery: French onion = crispy cheese cap + rich broth ✔ Duck obsession: Confit leg so tender it falls off the bone ✔ Timing hack: 2:30PM lunch = quiet patio + full menu 🥣 What We Devoured 🧅 French Onion Soup ($14) ★★★★★ Gruyère crust, beefy broth, sweet caramelized onions – cut with scissors, sip slowly. 🦆 Duck Confit ($28) ★★★★★ Crispy skin, white wine glaze, garlic mashed potatoes – order extra bread for wiping. 🥣 Cold Tomato Soup ($12) ★★★★☆ Chilled gazpacho, basil oil, hint of cream – refreshing but dessert-like. 🍷 House Red ($12/glass) ★★★★★ Bordeaux blend, berry notes – perfect with duck. 💡 Pro Tips ✔ Best for: Late lunches, soup lovers, no-fuss dates ✔ Go at: 2-3PM to avoid crowds ( closes at 3PM, reopens for dinner) ✔ Skip if: You hate rich food (this is butter-forward) 💰 Damage: ~$30-50 per person #PalmSpringsEats #FrenchFood #HiddenGem
