Cuisine of the sun

Upscale three-star restaurant
Lively wine and martini bar

If you've read about something new and exciting in the world of food, chances are you'll find it at Zazou. Since 1996, Zazou's menu has been eclectic without being ponderous and creative without being careless. Tantalizing options prod the diner to look beyond the ordinary and into the extraordinary without having to worry about crossing over into the bizarre. Subtle enhancements on popular dishes like tuna tartar with a burst of tart apples for crunch and acidity tames the richness of the fish. Cranberry reduction sauces with pork or game, savory pastries featuring salmon or duck and exciting fish like blue nose bass and escolar leap off the menu to delight and challenge the inquisitive diner. Of course, offering these choices would not be possible without the expert staff to help guide the customer in to creating a meal that will embody all the flavors the diner is hungry for.

2 Reviews of Zazou Restaurant in Redondo Beach ...Write yours here! Hit or Miss By C. N. I would say this restaurant is a hit or a miss. I had a fabulous lunch there the first time I went but on subsequent visits, I have had disappointing results (including an overcooked coq au vin) and very mediocre service. The variety of dishes can also be disappointing at times. The tables are set very close to one another so the ambiance can be very loud during busy nights. First Review!

Even if all you wanted to do was have a quick drink, this is the coziest little bar you'd love to drop in on. The menu sports meditteranean styled cuisine, with a good pasta selection. I love what they do tolamb or duck. The wine selection is right on the mark. Posted 02/03/05 \| Printable Version Was this review helpful to you?

The bar gets popular on the weekends. Most of the entrees are quite decent and given all of the other positives, it is definitely a place to go to once in a while. Pros: Value, vareity, service Cons: nothing Posted 11/08/06 at 12:00am Excellent Food Top quality dining without the scene or the attitude. The pre-dinner cocktails were good and strong, the menu was creative and well-executed. The service may be a bit rushed but the staff is friendly and accommodating. The Filet Mignon in gorgonzola-merlot sauce is excellent and their signature bread pudding is absolutely gorgeous. A swordfish special was a standout as well as a chocolate-espresso creme dessert. Very good experience overall....a true gem in the South Bay. Pros: The food! Cocktails. Posted 09/17/06 at 12:00am Horrible experience We had a bad dinner experience and left the restaurant before tasting the food. What a shame! Some of our friends came in late and the general manager kept telling us to move to a smaller table which would not enough for them on the way. The GM said "you are killing my night" and "it affects the turnover." His attitude was very rude and demanding. I asked politely if it is a restaurant policy and the owner agrees, he replied that he is the owner, which turned out a lie. The server was nice and appetizers we ordered were good but unfortunately he ruined our night and we decided to leave when our friends arrived. I have never left the restaurant with such an anger. Worst experience ever. Never go back until they have a new GM. Pros: Food Cons: Bad GM, Noisy, Money-oriented Posted 03/25/06 at 12:00am my new favorite place!!! after reading reviews from this site, i went to eat at zazou's for lunch today. it was very romantic and i really enjoyed my food. the grilled chicken sandwich and bread pudding was really good. my boyfriend on the other hand didn't think that the restaurant was all that. he said his spaghetti was just so-so for the money. the service was great and the decor was absolutely gorgeous. next time, i will take my female friends who can appreciate the nice atmosphere and great dessert! Pros: ambience, service, dessert Cons: not so tasty food Posted 01/13/06 at 12:00am One word: Wow! What a fun, lively atmosphere and fantastic food and drinks! And dessert! Their bread pudding is to die for. Some nights, weve made our way down just for that. I love this place and use it as a standby for out-of-towners when we dont want to travel far from home. Why travel to Beverly Hills when we can get food just as good as anywhere in the city right in our backyard? We love this place and it's sister-restaurant Cafe Pierre. Delicious! Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Creative drink menu Posted 01/11/06 at 5:54pm
