Tracy Santoni grew up in San Diego before moving to France in 2014. While riding her motorcycle around Northern France, she tasted Tarte Flambée for the first time in Strasbourg. It was so delicious that she asked herself why it was virtually unknown in the USA, despite its popularity in France.

When she ended up moving back home, she and Dominique, her French chef husband, decided to introduce Tarte Flambée to Southern California. La Flamme Française was born!

Proving that French cuisine doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, La Flamme Française is delivering French fast food to America. Stop in and try our signature Tarte Flambée, a flatbread that is wildly popular in Northern France. Consisting of a crispy crust topped with a light cream sauce, onion, cheese and bacon, it will delight your palate. Vegetarian options are available, and all are served with a side salad. Other offerings include Classic Quiches and the keto and paleo friendly Niçoise Salad. All options are hand-made.

Come back often to experience the ever-evolving taste of La Flamme!

Our Signature Dishes

Authentic Tarte Flambée – A Taste of Alsace in California

We craft this Alsatian specialty, a flatbread that is wildly popular in Northern France, with a focus on fresh, flavorful ingredients.

Imagine a thin, crispy crust covered with crème fraîche and thinly sliced onions. Top it with classic combos like bacon and Gruyère cheese. Every bite is a delicious journey to the heart of Alsace.

From the savory depth of the Traditionnelle Gratinée with its rich layers of crème fraîche, bacon, onion, and cheese, to the bold and spicy Chorizo Jalapeño, featuring a fiery blend of… (you guessed it!) chorizo and jalapeño, there’s a Tarte Flambée to satisfy every palate.

Our L’ail adds a punch of garlic for those who crave a bit more zest, while the Forestière brings the earthy tones of mushrooms to the forefront.

Not to be overlooked, both La Végétarienne and L’Aubergine offers vibrant, vegetable-packed options for our non-meat-eating friends.

Priced accessibly and crafted with the finest ingredients, each Tarte Flambée invites you to savor the authentic flavors of Alsace right here in Southern California. Join us to explore these delicious variations and find your new favorite.
