Hard to find a good French place that isn’t all fusion or trend chasing. I love their old school confit and duck breast. The fact that they still serve their steak with black pepper corn sauce and haricots verte shows they are sticking with traditional French preparations.
The appetizer terrine platter with the chicken liver and pate was sublime with gentle subtle flavors that satisfy without being overwhelming.
Service was great. The waitress was very enthusiastic and you can tell she loves the food and her job.

Wandered out for a meal with a couple of possible destinations in mind. Arriving at this bistro, the quiet street, inviting tea lights and cozy corner lured me in (well out, as I had my dog with me). My total indecisiveness was met with patience and helpful input, so I landed on the Endive salad and the barramundi special. The flavors were well balanced, it was a rare meal where I did not need to ask for condiments and the portions were perfect. I highly recommend this lovely spot.

We had a wonderful dinner here last week to celebrate our anniversary. We sat outside and there was a nice vibe with the South Pasadena Farmer’s market going on at the same time. Note, it happens every Thursday from 4 to 7 and parking can be hard to find.
We started off with the chicken liver mousse and tempura prawns which were great. My wife had the brazino which was a special for the night and the skin was perfectly crispy. I had another special on the menu that night which was the beef cheeks. Very tender, almost like brisket in texture. Finished off with the apple tart. All delicious and had wonderful service. We’ll definitely will be back.

What a fantastic restaurant! A warm and welcoming team serving delicious French cuisine in a cosy atmosphere. Ask for the daily specials and let the chef bring you on a culinary trip to France — just save room for a dessert surprise!

Food was excellent. Every dish we had was perfectly seasoned and prepared to perfection. Salads were super fresh, well balanced in flavors and vinaigrette. Staff was so nice and attentive, ready to joke around and laugh with us. Overall, atmosphere was very loving & inviting. We will visit again for sure!

We visited Bistro del Agare in South Pasadena to celebrate an important birthday, and unfortunately, it was not the experience we hoped for.
We ordered a variety of dishes — burger, escargot, trout, kids’ filet mignon, onion soup, and mushroom soup. The biggest disappointment was the mushroom soup; for a French restaurant, I expected it to be one of the highlights, but it was bland and simply not good. The rest of the dishes were average at best, nowhere near the high prices they charge.
The space is very small, with little to no decoration, and it doesn’t offer the charm or ambiance you’d expect for the cost of the meal. Service was okay, nothing special, and the dessert was forgettable.
We were hoping for a memorable dinner for my husband’s birthday, but the overall experience — from food to ambiance — just didn’t justify the high prices. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great choice for a celebration, especially with kids.

Very tasty food, but service was agonizingly slow. Very friendly and kind server was clearly overwhelmed trying to cover the entire room herself, and the kitchen didn’t help: 45 minutes to get our food after we ordered. Catching up with good friends meant we delayed making our choices. Atmosphere was a bit noisy, lacking in soft materials to absorb sound in a small space.

Foods are great, chill vibe, kind and friendly services. My French gf wanted to take me to authentic French restaurant in LA, she picked this one et voila. We both liked it. Most of servers also were able to speak French.

This is the place to get delicious French food in a non fussy setting. The hostess suggested we sit outside since there is no air conditioning in the main dining room. Our server was informed and attentive. The escargot was nicely flavored with garlic and herbs; the snails were almost as delicious as the one’s we had in Provence. I did not care for the pate but my family loved the combination of veal, pork, duck and hazelnut. The fillet mignon with peppercorn reduction was amazing. The confit de canard was crispy outside and moist inside. The seafood pasta special blew me away; the light tomato sauce blended well with the seafood’s juices. There was no room for dessert today. The dinner was perfect!
