The 18 Best Restaurants In Pasadena
"Located in the thick of Union St., this quiet French spot isn’t as flashy as some of its big-name neighbors, but what Perle does well is provide a romantic atmosphere and a menu filled with well-executed French food. Our favorite dish is the frisée Lyonnaise salad, which comes topped with bacon lardons, poached egg, chicken liver mousse crouton, and dijon vinaigrette. It’s a savory salad, but still light enough to not fill you completely up. And that’s important, because you don’t want to miss the moules-frites with soft, garlicky mussels and properly crunchy fries and the tangy French onion soup." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren
