Had a wonderful Christmas lunch here! The prix fixe menu was a great value. The Boeuf Bourguignon and Cassoulet were flavorful and tender. Don’t skip the French Onion Soup or the Escargot to start. The Crème Brûlée was a highlight, along with the delicious Brioche Pudding. Highly recommend this cozy spot for any special occasion!

Five of us had dinner here on a weekday. This is a linen napkin type restaurant. The staff were great. The menu selection was classic. The food came out at the right times for a paced but not slow dinner. All the dishes impressed and we had a great experience. All five of us chose the fixed price three course dinner and it controlled the cost and frankly as an average we ordered more food than we would have otherwise.

Enjoyed our evening participating in SF Restaurant week at ChouChou. We both ordered from the prix fixe menu with house wine. We ordered the french onion soupe, escargots gratines a L’ Ail, duck leg confit wellington, boeuf bourguignon, and for dessert, brioche & french pudding and opera cake.
We especially enjoyed the french onion soupe, after our fav restaurant in Monterey changed ownership. Escargot was tender and garlicky yum!
The Duck leg confit wellington was a very nice surprise. The philo dough was crispy and the duck leg was juicy. The accompanying Bechamel sauce tied the dish together very well, wish there was more sauce! The boeuf bourguignon was very tender, marinating in the rich burgundy sauce.

It’s hard to know where to start. This restaurant is special. The people are special. The food is special. It’s just GOOD and that fills my heart.
Ben helped us choose some truly outstanding wines. The wine list is very French and very well curated. When we put ourselves in his hands, we ended up with great wine.
The prix fixe menu allowed us to try a little bit of everything. The escargot were delicious. The onion soup was decadent. The beet salad was fresh. And then, on to the mains… the duck confit Wellington was beautiful. The fillets were beautiful. And, the cassoulet was a treat I rarely see outside of southwest France. The desserts were lovely and they went above and beyond to let us try everything.
The ambiance felt elegant, approachable, and cozy… which I suppose mirrored the menu and the staff. Chou Chou is such a French grm in the US.
Thank you Ben & team for making our dinner so special.

Excellent food, great service and good atmosphere. Everything we ordered was yummy and cooked to perfection. Started the evening with wine (Pinot), lemonade, Shirley temple, and Coke zero. We had the French Onion Soupe and Escargots Gratines a l’Ail for appetizers, and the Duck Leg Confit Wellington, Lobster Ravioli, Salmon En Croute, Cassoulet, and Rack of Lamb for dinner, followed by a final dessert course of Crepe Nutella and Creme Brulee, and closing everything out with a couple of cappuccinos to finish off the evening. Our servers were the best and they treated us wonderfully with a great sense of humor. The place was well decorated and the ambience was cool and stylish.

It’s been a whole week before I finally had time to write this review! We booked this restaurant on a weekday to celebrate a special occasion. Since we reserved early, we were seated right away. Even by the end of dinner, it wasn’t too crowded.
They offer a $75 dinner set that includes an appetizer, main, and dessert. As with most Western meals, bread was served—nothing too special, but freshly warm and tasty.
For starters, we had the French escargot and tuna tartare. Both were good, especially the tartare, which was a standout. For mains, we tried the daily special—trout—and the beef bourguignon. The trout was pan-fried but still retained a nice, delicate fish flavor, which made it quite memorable.
For dessert, we had the crème brûlée and molten chocolate cake. The crème brûlée was smooth and delicious—definitely recommended. The chocolate cake was on the sweet side; probably best enjoyed with a strong black coffee.
Overall, we were happy with the food quality and the attentive service. A joyful meal and a great evening!

Nice French restaurant. Very cozy. The service was excellent. The food was great. I had the Chouchou mussels as an appetizer. It had a creamy sauce, which was delicious. My main was the salmon, which was prepared perfectly. Creme brulee for my desert. It was nice.

Overall very nice experience at this casual French bistro. Service is friendly and efficient. Dining room is decorated uniquely in gray, silver, and white. Lamb chops were very good and cooked as requested medium-rare. Mussels were not great, frozen?, though there are easy to get fresh ones in the area. Escargot were OK. Cioppino is done better elsewhere. Charcuterie board had good variety and quality.

This review is just for a Saturday breakfast.
We booked for first thing on a Saturday morning, and were the only two people in the restaurant the entire time. The venue is lovely: nice, smart decor. It looks like it’ll be accessible. The people were friendly, although being asked “do you want iced tea?” right after ordering espresso and cappuccino was a little odd.
We had the brunch quiche and a “forest crepe”. Both came with generous portions of green salad, with a few additional elements: carrot slivers, halved tomatoes and grapes. The quiche was great, although the portion was fairly small; the crepe was mixed: we both felt that the inside surface was a little undercooked, although the filling was tasty. The coffees were a bit meh.
Note: although we probably won’t go back for breakfast, we might try them again for dinner if we’re in the neighborhood.

We had the Christmas Eve prefix meal here. It was my 1st time eating here. The food is above average for French food. It is not completely traditional French food, but tasty nevertheless. The service was great. I would definitely come back.
