French Restaurants near Pasadena, CA

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

“really good... you have to go there!“

“Entre Nous French Bistro has been a longtime favorite, I’ve been coming here since they opened. The escargot is incredibly tender, drenched in garlicky herb butter you want to soak up with bread. The oysters are ultra‑fresh and perfectly chilled, the ideal briny start to the meal. The steak is cooked spot‑on with a rich peppercorn sauce and crispy fries, making every bite feel like a true Parisian bistro experience. Matthew our waiter was amazing thank you for your amazing service.“

“The place is super cute inside. I came on a Saturday around 11am and didn't have to wait too long for a table. Service was great. Me and my friends just got brunch items, and it was satisfying but nothing memorable. Although, the almond croissant is absolutely to die for and made up for it. Definitely try the pastries here.“

“"If you love French cuisine, then Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue is sure to please. The cuisine here is very authentic, delicious and makes the mouth feel enjoyable to the max."“

“We had a wonderful time. We kicked off my hubby's birthday with great food, wonderful vibes and incredible service!! My husband could not stop raving about the eggs! We literally came back for the biscuits. I hate that I don't remember our waitresses name because she was so sweet and attentive. She was also kind enough to bring us a complimentary round of champs and mimosas!! This is our second time coming in and the service is not only consistent, it keeps getting better!“

“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“

“Charming sandwich shop, a little Provence. Pesto panini is delicious. Perfect to spend a lazy afternoon sipping cappuccino in this comfy place“

“Came here to celebrate Valentine’s Day with my wife. The pictures of the place do not give it justice. The place has really a great vibe to it, music and a pleasant atmosphere to it. Love the light bulbs on the tables.
They had a fixed menu that we paid before, arrived and we were seated right away. Wife ordered a passion fruit martini and I ordered an old fashioned, both were good. The appetizers were a humus and red pepper feta with focaccia that was delicious, deep fried artichokes with a tangy sauce and a salmon tartare with avocado.
For the entrees my wife got steak frites with a chimnichurri sauce, she asked medium well but it came medium (my preference), it was tasty but not what she asked. I ordered the sea bass that was on a carrot purée, brusseel sprouts, cooked delicately with some spice to it.
Dessert were a strawberry and shortbread pieces and the other was a chocolate mousse.
Would come back again.“

“The fries were too salty, but the ketchup was amazing. The fish radish was too sweet and same thing with the burger sauce. The snap pea was too saucy. The dishes came out pretty fast and the service was great even during Valentine's Day weekend.“

“My third time there, brought a group this time. They throughly enjoyed themselves!
The atmosphere, the student workers & loved the selection of foods. We shared tasting and raved about the tastes, preparation, presentation and creative mixing. What a fabulous place to dine!!“

“Had a Saturday lunch there and the food and wine was outstanding!! We decided on small plates and salads. The tomato carpaccio and beet salad were delicious. Simple food with big flavors! Beautiful courtyard setting and very cool wine store attached!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Amazing bakery! We stopped by for pastries and coffee, and both were outstanding. The kouign-amann was perfectly buttery and caramelized with just the right balance of crisp and soft layers, and the cappuccino was smooth, rich, and expertly made. Great quality, cozy vibe, and friendly service. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to!“

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

“Delicioso y atienden muy bien. 100% recomendado.

Delicious & great service. 100% recommend. We're out-of-towners & Googled a dessert place near where we were & were led here. So glad! Would love to visit again someday.“
