Best French American Restaurants in Alhambra

Beautiful restaurant with a breath taking atmosphere.

I had an outstanding time dining here. A special thanks to JR for his thoughtful suggestions that will surely enhance the experience even further. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and can’t wait to explore Mrs. Fish!

Consistently great food, cheerful service, and a fun vibe throughout... A genuine West Hollywood gem!

I enjoyed my experience here very much. I would say it’s the best French food I’ve had in the US. I started out with the onion soup. I’m not a fan of it in general, but I enjoyed it very much. Their Gruyère was soft, creamy, and salty. I even asked where they get it, it was so good. I haven’t found a Gruyère here in the US that I like. The broth was flavorful but not too salty. It had a beautiful presentation with melted cheese over the cup. I had the black truffle pasta with chicken made in a Parmesan wheel where it’s flambéed with cognac. The presentation was artistic and the taste was flavorful—very umami,fulfilling, and earthy. For dessert, I went with crepes. It covered a standard dinner plate folded into a square. It was light, fluffy but not overly eggy. It melted in my mouth and was smooth and delicate. It had hand whipped cream and Nutella with hazelnut pieces. It was the best crepe I have eaten. I would say they can improve on the cocktails. We tried a few and didn’t really like any. Overall, it has a very hip, relaxed vibe. It’s a garden spot in the middle of LA—very quiet and enjoyable. The service is as attentive and pleasant. This is a phenomenal place to eat and savor life.

Our party of 4 had afternoon tea on 9/1/24 and it was our first time at Madeline. Everything was wonderful! The main dining room was elegant. The harpist was very talented and played beautifully. All of us really enjoyed our teas (lavender black & lychee oolong). We ordered the European and Madeline high tea. There was plenty of food and we all left very full. The French onion soup and salad were really good. And the scones - omg! The scones were so delicious and some of the best that we’ve ever had. Service was great and attentive. 10/10 experience! We will be coming back.
