Just Like France! Stopped by one of our favorite French restaurants in South Pasadena. This is the real deal. Menu is deep and creative without being pretentious. The preparation and presentation reminds me of our trip to Provence last year. Service is excellent. Dining can be indoors or out. Very nice ambiance. We give them five very solid stars.

Wonderful Neighborhood Find! This is a great opportunity to taste excellent French food. The beef carpaccio is the best I've ever had Escargot, onion soup, onion tartin are all memorable but leave room for dessert. The crepe suzettes are marvelous.

Their onion soup -- OMG!!! If you ride the Metro, they are about a block and a half from the South Pasadena station. No parking hassle - yay! I had their sweetbreads. They were mighty tasty. And the server worked with me on a low carb option for my side. My husband had the spinach and salmon pie, also excellent. Lovely ambiance, very romantic. We'll definitely be back!
