Paris" via "an old Cal bungalow" with spacious patios in front
and back. Created by the team of Jean-Pierre Bosc (of Mimosa
fame) and Ange St Jacques, this "cozy, warm" "hideaway" in
Hollywood provides a "charming" setting (the "romantic garden"
area earns the most kudos) for "excellent bistro fare". ZAGAT
