| About: | Named after the Louis Malle film "Zazie dans le Metro", this charming French bistro that was voted "Best Brunch" in 2007 boasts delectable French and Basque cuisine with a decidedly California accent. Owner and chef Jennifer Piallat uses many of her French husband's family recipes, often adding a touch of fresh herbs or native Cali veggies. The plates are on the simple side, but with a complexity of flavor that would please any gourmand. The brunch menu, however, Piallat has left unchanged since she took over for former owner Catherine Opoix, but why alter tradition when the sidewalks overflow week-end after week-end with those itching to try their favorite of the twelve varieties of eggs Benedict offered? Show up early to snag a table on their garden patio, sample one of their tasty wines and get a taste of French leisure on California shores. |
