French Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“This was my second visit to Entre Nous French Bistro, and it absolutely confirmed what I felt the first time—this place is a hidden gem. We came yesterday to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and everything about the evening was simply perfect.

We were a party of five and shared a variety of dishes that showcased the kitchen’s finesse and authenticity. We started with the Daily Pick Oysters, which were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. The Tartare de Saumon was bright and delicate, and the Escargots de Bourgogne were everything you’d hope for—garlicky, buttery, and so satisfying. The Homemade Duck Pâté was another standout—rich, rustic, and perfectly paired with fresh baguette slices.

For entrées, we had the Filet Mignon, Rack of Lamb, Magret de Canard, French Fries, and the Salmon special of the day. Every single dish was a hit. The meats were expertly cooked to temperature, the sauces were layered and flavorful, and the sides were just as impressive. Even the fries deserve a shoutout—crispy, golden, and addictive.

The service was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They made sure my sister felt celebrated, and we never once felt rushed. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, with just the right touch of French charm.

Entre Nous continues to impress, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in town. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, this bistro delivers every time. Already looking forward to visit number three!“

“Great high quality food and service“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“You have to go to l'Appart by Air Food to experience a delicious French bistrot ambiance. The ambiance outside is very friendly, covid-safe and cosy. The dishes are beyond delicious. Yesterday I had the Plat du Jour with delicious scallops and home made very tasty mash potato puree. The plate are so beautifully presented - it is a pleasure to look. The desserts were delicious as well. There is a shade that separates the table from the streets for privacy. Free parking in the corner street. Brigitte the waitress is very welcoming and the owner / chef are beyond nice. An address to discover !“

“We were a walk in with zero expectations considering the neighborhood this is located in, but wow -- it was lovely. The selections on both food and wine menus were limited, but very good. Much like a proper european restaurant, they are not trying to be everything and OK at it, they do a few things on which they excel. Atmosphere was great, much more Silverlake than Lincoln Heights. I recommend highly and will be back.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Bravo Chef Bruno makes fabulous food.. Excellent service 🤩“

“Coffee is better than Starbucks. Variety choices of desserts was fun“

“If you want a wonderful cocktail and good food, Camelia is great. What it lacked though was a bit of equity. I made a reservation for 7:00pm, was five minutes early to the restaurant, and walk in patrons received a better table than what I was offered for my husband and I. We literally sat next to a planter at the entrance, so my husband had numerous people (who were waiting to be seated) standing one foot away from his back the entire dinner. Thankfully he did not complain about it. Was it because we were new? Was it because they thought we would not spend? I was not sure. The hostess was a bit dismissive. Although the majority of the food was excellent, and the serving staff was kind, our small appetizers did not come out at the right time (kitchen timing). One small plate did, but the others were served when our dinner was served. Our salad of kabocha squash was served following the entree and it seemed quickly assembled and too cold, as if it just moved out of a refrigerator. The burrata made the radicchio mushy and the squash was undercooked as well. The two items of note were the cocktails (I recommend the Vieux Carre) and the roasted mushroom small plate. I have a shrimp allergy so I had to avoid most of the menu (too bad), but the New York steak and Grilled Loup De Mer (Branzino) was excellent. Plan to spend approximately $400, plus tip for a full spread and drinks.“

“I’ve been relying on food and grocery delivery due to an eye injury which prevented me from driving for several days. I have ordered many times now because everything has been SO GOOD! Anything on the menu would be delicious - I have found a place that I love. Thank you for everything!☺️🇫🇷 my Americano this AM is perfection ☕️“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Delicious food. My favs are zucchini pizza and salmon tartine - must try! If you like olives, order too, you'll be surprised with how great they are here. Honestly, every dish I've ever ordered here was great. And the quality is consistently hight throughout the years. Good selection of wine and cocktails as well. Recommend, recommend, recommend!“

“This place is a real gem. The bruschetta was absolutely incredible. The scratch-made pasta was delicious, and they have arguably the best tiramisu I've ever had. The service was friendly and relaxed, making it a great spot for any occasion. If you're craving tasty Italian food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“It's a small family restaurant with a high-end menu. I am very picky about escargots, and La Vie gets it right. This one is a must order. The smoked trout was good, but not a must. The duck is served to perfection - crispy skin and tender meat. We also got scallops and prawns, which were delicious, but the duck was the winner. Entrees come with soup, salad, and coffee at the end of the meal. We couldn't resist the souffle, one of my faves.“

“I had Japanese breakfast w/ miso black cod, it was tasty.“

“ADDISON WAS THE BEST PART! His energy and attention to detail really made our experience worth while! If you go, ask for him ☺️“

“My wife and I had a wonderful experience here last month . The service was impeccable and every dish we tried was great . The waiter we had that night made great food and wine recommendations and was incredibly accommodating. We can’t wait to go back for another date night“

“Garson de Cafe is very Chic . Beautiful decor and fantastic customer service. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Last weekend I stopped by while walking through the farmers market, I wasn’t really planning to eat anything sweet, but the smell of those crepes was impossible to ignore. I ordered a strawberry and nutella one and they made it fresh right in front of me, the crepe was warm and soft. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it, I’m usually more of a savory person, but this really hit the spot.“
