Ready for an evening in France? You don’t even have to leave southern California. Le Chene Restaurant, just outside Santa Clarita in Agua Dulce, gives a delicious taste of France, not too far from home. Chef and owner Juan Alonso named his restaurant for the centennial oaks that surround his river-rock cottage and garden. Today, six acres of vineyards only an hour from downtown Los Angeles provide many of Le Chene’s more than 900 different French and California wines.

Since opening its doors in 1980, Le Chene’s wine list has repeatedly been given the Best Award of Excellence by Wine Spectator. Le Chene also offers an ideal location and excellent service for weddings, quinceaneras, and more. Whether you’re coming from Bakersfield, Palmdale/Lancaster, the San Fernando Valley or right here in the Santa Clarita Valley, Le Chene gives a taste of France–and traditional French food–at its finest.

We also have a motel right nearby, if you’d like to spend the evening without having to worry about driving home afterwards! You can visit sierrapelonamotel.com for more information. Thank you!

Le Chene is a wondeful restaurant with delicious food. I highly recommend it. The owner Juan is always on top of everything and you will often see him visiting each table to ensure all is well.

Great French cuisine close to home.

We go to LeChene at least once a year with our family. The variety of food options is vast. They grow and raise their own food. This family owned restaurant has been a favorite of mine since the 90’s. I will keep eating here, as long as they’re here or I’m able.

One of my favo(u)rite movies of all time is Duel, released on 13 November 1971. In July of 2021, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the movie, I did a “Duel road trip”, visiting several of the sites from the tunnel to the railroad 🛤 racks and from the “Snake-o-Rama” to “Chuck’s Cafe” now of course, LeChene.

Juan Alonso, the owner of this gem of a restaurant welcomed me with open arms, showing me old still photos from the restaurant scenes to the original locations from the counter to the pool table

My wife and I will be dining at LeChene in a couple of weeks. I’ll show her part of the road trip I took and hoping to stay at the small motel a stones throw from the restaurant.

Cannot wait to introduce Kris to Juan and, of course an amazing meal. 2112% recommendation to dine at this “bucket lister” restaurant.

Cheers 🥂

We received our food in a timely manner. The Filet Mignon Au Poivre was cooked very well as I requested and was very juicy and tasty. Mash potatoes and zucchini were seasoned perfectly. The salad was very fresh. My husband and my son loved their meals as well. I highly recommend Le Chene if you want a perfectly cooked steak as requested.

The most romantic restaurant in Santa Clarita. We have been dining here for many years. Decided to get married in their garden. Every single guest said it was the best food they had ever had. Keep in mind that most are “foodies” internationally.
Love Juan and his beautiful wife.

Grant Moore

Juan and his staff were amazing! The waiters and bus boys were always there when we needed them. And the food was outstanding!
