Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. For food with a Provençal splash, locals highly recommend this quaint, farmhouse-style eatery. Lauded by everyone from local food critics to DiRoNA and "Wine Spectator," owner-chef Pascal Olhats never fails to impress with his dazzling South of France fare. Start with marinated salmon with potato risotto or a napoleon-style foie gras mousse, and then move on to poached monkfish with aioli or roasted rack of lamb with garlic jus. For discerning palates on the go, a full gourmet take-out menu is available. |

Description:
COSTA MESA. Part of David Wilhelm's Culinary Adventures empire, Savannah Supper Club is a Parisian-inspired lounge and bistro whose style is far removed from its Southern California setting. The cool, jazzy place finds source for its attitude in bold red tones that dominate its color scheme, and Clifford Bailey's mural gives the lounge a splash of the dramatic. The cuisine also reveals a certain sophistication, thanks to dishes like seared day boat scallops with lobster-mashed potatoes and grilled pork tenderloin with Alsatian cabbage. Seating is available on the covered patio, which boasts a fireplace. |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. This quaint bakeshop is an ideal stop-off during an afternoon shopping spree. Since the late '80s, Champagne has impressed customers with Parisian-style atmosphere and a refined menu of breakfast dishes, sandwiches, soups, and salads. Of course, what really draws the well-heeled crowd are fresh-from-the-oven baked goods, which include everything from breads and pastries to cookies, pies, and cakes. There are several Orange County locations, including one at Woodbridge Center in Irvine (949-653-6828). |

Description:
COSTA MESA. Advance planning is suggested if you intend to dine at this unique bistro, where owner-chef Alan Greeley's wildly innovative menu includes a melange of French and Caribbean-influenced dishes and a stunning repertoire of Californian and French wines. Justly, all of this richness has earned the restaurant high praise from local sophisticates, oenophiles, and gourmets. Representative dishes include fricassee of chicken livers and wild mushrooms with noodles, a daily fresh catch, spaghetti with octopus and arabiatta sauce, and duck confit. Outdoor seating is available; reservations are strongly encouraged. |

Description:
BALBOA ISLAND. Hidden away among Balboa's tiny shops, this charming French-Swiss bistro can be overlooked by travelers since its locale isn't as dominant as, say, Fashion Island or South Coast Plaza. Of course, passing over Basilic would be a serious mistake. Intimate and warm, the unassuming restaurant is perfect for folks seeking a romantic setting and delicious dishes like sautéed scallops and white Mexican shrimp with saffron sauce, coq au vin, seafood risotto, or roasted rack of lamb with a mustard-rosemary crust. A five-course, prix fixe menu is available nightly for $59.50. Personal wines are welcome (with corkage fee). |

Description:
NEWPORT BEACH. Billed as a neighborhood restaurant, Pescadou actually transcends such definition. The family-owned establishment offers all the warmth and sophistication of a French bistro, from warm yellow and orange walls to an impressive selection of imported and domestic wines. The kitchen staff creates unpretentious yet sublime dishes – filet mignon flavored with cognac and peppercorns, beef burgundy, Provencal bouillabaisse, and roasted salmon with lemon-butter sauce. Homemade desserts like bread pudding with peaches, raisins, and vanilla custard sauce boast similar down-to-earth deliciousness. Personal wines welcome (with corkage fee). |
