Since 1982, the French bistro L'Hirondelle has been serving traditional French cuisine to locals and visitors to San Juan Capistrano. It is located in the Hacienda Plaza, which is adjacent to the train station and across the street from the historic Mission compound. L'Hirondelle serves old-style French fare such as Beef Bourguignon, Poulet Marie-Antoinette and Lapin a la Liegeoise. They have a wonderful wine list from which you can order by the glass, carafe or bottle. The shaded outdoor patio is the perfect spot for an afternoon luncheon.
