"On a side note, weirdo new girl of "um, I dunno, I guess I've never really liked food that much" fame, came with us today, the second time I've been to lunch with this cutesy, high-on-life, suntanned 24 year old since the introductory incident. Okay, but..."

"Housed in an old bungalow that complements its casual brand of elegance, Café Bizou is the place for fine California-French bistro fare at bargain prices. Sauces are classic, soups are rich (try the luscious lobster bisque), and combinations are cr..."

"The original Sherman Oaks location of Café Bizou was such a hit from the day it opened that copies of the eatery were just a matter of time. The Old Pasadena branch---a third is located in Santa Monica---is a bit more stylish than the original, and its m..."

"The Given: 1) It"s thin out there when talking about affordable places; 2) There"s the A. factor: It"s not French food when the infusion approach reaches such an evolutionary mishmash; and 3) Despite the fact that California believes that it has itâ..."

"Now there are three Bizou restaurants in Greater Los Angeles, but none has the charm of the original Ventura Boulevard location, which has the bucolic air of a French country cottage. What's not to like about a restaurant that flaunts some of the best app..."
