Im a strict vegetarian, and often enjoy Cafe Bisou on the corner of Holly/Raymond in Pasadena. They have a great vegetable plate that includes a delicious mushroom ravioli, orange cous-cous, vegetables in puff-pastry, and a...

Discovered that a new restaurant opened on Mercer near Houston where a wine bar used to be in that clothing store Lounge. Had a great casual business meal for 6 of us today. Had 2 sets of 6 tapas that we let the staff choose for...

If this is the place next to Cafe Bisou (i think it’s just bamboo), there’s very little to recommend from my pov. I work nearby and so will go on occasion but it’s not really a destination. The whole fish is ok....

Will be going to the new Hollywood and Highland “mall” (is this the correct term?) tonight and wonder if anyone has been to a good restaurant there. Don’t want too expensive but moderate is OK. Thanks!

The actual history is this: Paul originally worked at Cafe Bisou. Then left to open his own place, Paul’s in Sherman Oaks. I believe he then sold his interest there and opened the new Paul’s in Tarzana. However, he...

Kazu — rivals Nozawa for quality sushi. Mishima Iroha — Beautiful and intimate but standard cooked fare. Good quality sushi. Pinot Bistro Le Petite Bistro Paul’s — one of the Cafe Bisou/Joe’s type...

Hello all, I did a search for “Blair's” on the forum but amazingly, nothing came up...maybe I’m a total n00b. I’m seeking recommendations for what to eat since my SO and I will be eating at Blair’s...

Hello, I went to Pho 97 today for the first time for lunch...and ordered the beef/noodle soup which I loved. My question to you, chowhound folks, is...how do you eat the soup without the liquid splattering all over the place??? I...

ack that’s terrible news for Patati Patata. :( Maybe they are taking the spot where Le Bisou is now? Or one of the weird places on the west side? Hrm, we’ll see.

JHC, it might be a schlep, but Bisou in Pleasantville sounds interesting. It sounds like the late lamented La Renaissance in Larchmont. Interesting that there are so few good dessert places in the Lower Westchester area.

Anyone been to this place?

shishito(??) pepper that’s stuffed with tuna. Oh man! Now the sushi craving is starting again...luckily they are only about a mile away from us. The other place that we like in Pasadena is Shaab. In Old Town-I think on...
