RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024Reservations available for 8 or less people until May.

    Our first time there today, and it's now our new FAVORTIE restaurant in the East Bay!! Everything was outstanding, from the time we walked in the door to a cheerful and friendly welcome, to our wonderful waiter, Eddie, who gave us the best recommendations, to the oh-so-delicious food!! I'd decided to treat my husband to a nice lunch, since we'd cancelled our Half Moon Bay golf outing today due to weather. Husband's verdict: EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS (My verdict: SAME!!!) Appetizer: Carpaccio Cocktail: Delicious, strong, can't remember the name, but I do recommend their drinks! Entrees: Outstanding and oh-so-tasty! Wine: Chimney Rock Cabernet Sauvignon -- highly reccomend and went beautifully with our entrees. Dessert: Salted Carmel Budino -- oh my -- my new favorite dessert, even more so than tiramisu, imagine something so wonderful! Finished off with Cappucino for me, Doppio Espresso for the Little Man....lol...What a thoroughly enjoyable meal from beginning to end. We'll be back for sure and bringing friends with us next time!!! So glad we discovered North Italia, you will be too!
