South Bay Accent - Aug/Sep 2015

90 South Bay Accent Casual French Dining BON VIVANT The Salade de Betteraves encompasses an organic golden and red beets mélange, Chèvre de Provence, lavender vinaigrette and candied walnuts. THOSE HANKERING FOR French bistro food but who can’t get into Zola need only walk up half a block to this spot, which has been around for a few years now and often has tables available. The huge glass windows in front bathe the attractive dining room in light, and there are several sidewalk tables as well. A few costlier ingredients like foie gras are used here, and the prices move upwards a tad from what’s down the street. The menu is larger than that at Zola, as is the interior space, while the cuisine reflects the classics, starring seasonal ingredients. ➺ LE BUZZ Pretty, quiet and romantic, this is a pleasant spot to people-watch and savor French bistro food. ➺ PLAT DU JOUR The surprisingly extensive menu has highlights like “foie gras peach melba,” braised rabbit and a seriously tasty mushroom tart. 535 Bryant St., Palo Alto; 650/485-3228; bonvivantdining.com
