68669 Thu Apr 21 20:21:21 -0700 2005 5 2 Los Angeles Area 0 373737 Headed back to Angelique this afternoon for a business lunch. It was truly great. I ordered the roasted chicken, which came with the perfectly pretty crispy, salty and thin French bistro fries. The chicken itself had a nice crust, was very juicy, and perfectly fit the bill. It was served with a strong brown/yellow mustard for dipping. The salad was also very nice -simple greens and tomatoes, with a honey mustard dressing. I was finally able to order the dressing on the side - I had tried before but failed to convey that adequately to the French waiters - and it was perfect when I could control the amount of dressing. My portion of the meal was $15, including the chicken, salad, and a soda. Very nice setting and great food. Cheese plate next time! 840 S.

I like it for a good cheap lunch spot. I had a crouque monsieur with fries (YUM), my friend had the cold ham sandwhich on baguette, we both had a salad, sauted mushrooms, two teas, and the chocolate mousse. All for $30!! Perfect.

Everything is completely filthy, particularly the food prep area. The place needs to be blasted with a firehose and scrubbed down by a clean team. Last time I walked upstairs to the restroom I was so grossed out by the sights along the way that I lost my appetite. I've travelled and eaten extensively in Southern Asia so I'm not being a Nellie Olson -- it's just this place can't withstand the harsh light of day. That said, when I got them home the chicken salad with mint and pate plate were divine. I love you cornichons, I love you!

Charcouterie plate is simply outstanding -- chef-made pates, particularly the rillettes & country-style are splendid. Cheeses are well selected. Salad greens always fresh w classic vinaigrette. Chef's brother's baguettes are worth the drive themselves. Eat thru the entire menu -- no disappointments, only joy, thruout. If only, if only ... they could open for dinner ... expand ... get their alcohol permit. But then, it wouldn't be AC ... & wouldn't be so inexpensive. Fri Apr 22 13:20:52 -0700 2005 373737 0 Mr Grub
