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 never disappoints. Co-owner Mathias is a most gracious host who ensures service is attentive and will help you select the ideal wine to complement your meal. Co-owner & chef JC runs a tight kitchen. Every plate is expertly prepared and arrives at your table as the chef intended.
The menu leans heavily on the owner's French background and is the closest thing to a true French bistro that you'll find in LA. Ingredients are of highest quality. Mussels are plump, beef (bœuf) is nicely marbled and flavorful, and the duck confit equally flavorful without be dry. Frites (fries) are the best I've had outside of Paris. They're perfectly seasoned and will arrive piping hot. Lastly, end your meal with the profiterole. Delicious.
The outdoor patio is cozy and wonderful even on a cool night.
Do yourself a favor and make a reservation today.“

“Had their eggs Benedict, it was OK.
Their iced Chai tased mostly like cinnamon water.
Their almond croissant was decent.
All that with tip was $60 for breakfast.
I can think of MANY places where I could have had better breakfast food for that price.
Waitress and hostesses were on point with great service, so at least there’s that.“

“"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."“

“The servers were super warm and friendly, and the restaurant had an amazing vibe! I especially loved that almost every table has a clear view of the open kitchen, so you can chat while watching the chefs showcase their incredible skills!We ordered the Eggs Benedict, breakfast quesadilla, and a breakfast platter. The presentation was gorgeous, with a total 'Iron Chef' style, and every single dish tasted just as amazing as it looked! 😄“

“Great high quality food and service“

“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 !“

“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.“

“MY GOD!! I wish i could fully describe our experience here! We went for my partners 30th birthday l. The staff were beyond hospitable. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the atmosphere is amazing. Food is 10/10 but the servers really treat you like you are in their home this is the place. I wish I could rate them more stars. Plus they sent us home with some fresh fruit from their trees.“

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

“Best place for pit stop or for any celebration. Best spot to watch our besutiful and best Sunsets in California.“

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

“Totally unexpected find in generally sleepy Montrose! Delighted we found Backbone after living here for 15 years and missing having an elevated meal close by. We shared one appetizer (corn agnolotti) and two entrees (NY strip and ribeye, tai snapper) and all of the food was delicious. The corn agnolotti was al dente and a mix of sweet (corn) and buttery and lemony (sauce). Both the steak and ribeye were tender and flavorful, and the snapper was moist and served with a delightful charred kale. Ask for bread to sop up the agnolotti sauce! Staff was friendly and helpful, we really enjoyed our meal!“

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

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

“I got the breakfast sandwich with bacon and a chocolate and banana croissant, they were both delicious and I can’t wait to go back again. Owners were very friendly and provided a great atmosphere. Will definitely be a new go to spot in Honolulu.“

“I picked up a pack of 18 wings for a potluck and they were huge hit with the group! Half lemon pepper and half garlic parm. The wings were juicy and the flavors were great. I also like how the order came with sauce and veggie sticks included. I'll definitely be ordering wings from here again.“

“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!!“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Loved the croque madame, abalone and scallop pot pie, and spaghetti bolognese. The croque madame and spaghetti bolognese were the clear standouts. Also got the burger (good but expensive), sweet potato gratin (delicious), and chicken liver mousse (delicious but pricey at $7 per piece). Overall, service was excellent (thanks Janine!) and atmosphere was chill. I’d say it’s on the pricier side, but worth the money for nicer occasions.“

“I love this place.
The tartar is the BEST!! I love the aesthetic atmosphere, french vibe, and the food!!!! Of course the service was great too, we felt too cold by the window and they accommodate us in the middle immediately.
Highly recommended as people recommend on instagram.“

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

“We came here to celebrate my sister-in-law’s birthday, and I really loved the warm, homey atmosphere. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a great meal, actually hear each other, and have a good conversation with family. Everything felt cozy and welcoming, and the food was delicious and thoughtfully put together. Such a lovely spot for a family celebration!“

“I loved it here. The atmosphere was romantic and they played some really good music. The magician was fun and the chef was amazing. Food was spot on and the drinks were to die for. Cassandra was attentive. The experience overall was lovely.“

“The food is fresh and has a unique flavor. The atmosphere is quiet, allowing for a comfortable dining experience. Service is prompt, and the staff are warm and attentive. Prices are also quite reasonable. All in all, this restaurant is highly satisfying and well worth a return visit.“

“Great prices and costumer service. Sandwich Combo with a coffee and a choice of a side for $12! Can’t beat those prices around here. Cashier was super friendly and patient when taking my order as a first timer. Nice ambience and place to grab lunch and cool off.“
