Ghini's French Caffe

Ghini's French Caffe has been a Tucson institution since 1992, serving authentic French-inspired brunch and lunch that keeps locals and visitors coming back for more. Located at 1803 E Prince Rd in the heart of Tucson, this family-owned gem is celebrated for its scratch-made dishes that feature locally sourced, ethically raised ingredients. The restaurant is especially famous for its Croque Madames, rich French Onion Soup, and the acclaimed Eggs Provençal, which won Tucson Weekly's award for one of Tucson's top 100 essential dishes. Zócalo Magazine ranks Ghini's as the number one place in Tucson to enjoy breakfast or brunch on weekends. The menu offers generous portions of Southern French-inspired cuisine with a unique twist, including frittata-style omelettes, stuffed crepes, scratch soups, fresh salads, and sandwiches served on house-made baguettes. Vegans and those with gluten sensitivities will appreciate the several dedicated options. The adjoining La Baguette Bakery provides freshly baked breads, French macarons, cakes, and flaky croissants. Guests can enjoy freshly-squeezed Mimosas from an extensive list, including bottomless classics, or handcrafted cocktails. The pet-friendly patio—Tucson's first—welcomes furry friends with water and biscuits, complete with climate control for owner comfort. Open Tuesday through Sunday from 7am to 3pm.
