Best Date Night Restaurants in Van Nuys

Bacari is in a location that was once a French restaurant called “Rive Gauche.” It was a favorite of my mother’s and mine for twenty years. I cannot tell you how happy I was to see this reopen. It's a beautiful venue with gorgeous facilities, bringing back many great memories for me. I cannot say enough about my personal experience being there, but the food and service were excellent, and, of course, you cannot beat this location. I've already told three of my friends I'm taking them there. I lost my mother a couple of months ago, so it's poignant, but I know how much she would've loved seeing it now. Thank you, Bacari.

Amazing food, amazing value. Great experience overall

One of my favorite LA restaurants. The omelet is excellent as is the burger, and they make the best frites in town. C'est formidable!

Excellent service, and the food was prepared perfectly. We appreciated the 4:30 opening, instead of 5 pm, because we like to have dinner early. We plan on making a Larsen’s dinner our Christmas tradition from now on. What I DO NOT appreciate is all the “verification” it took from Open Table to know that i am who I say I am. Really—phone number, email, and pass codes to BOTH? Ridiculous!! My financial institutions do not have so many verification steps.

We loved our time here. The ambience is exactly what you want for a night out with family or your partner. The food was incredible. Our host was terrific. Looking forward to coming back.
