Feast At Figaro

Figaro in Silver Lake is a bit of Balthazar in LA. I really should say Paris, but this gal really digs America's take on international cuisine. Sorry purists! I do adore Paris btw.


Here's the outside of Figaro at 1802 N Vermont Ave in Los Feliz. Then a view from inside. Don't you adore fresh baguettes? It's one thing Americans haven't truly mastered. The French do baguettes best.

My plentiful plate of chicken, mushroom sauce and fries. Oh yeah, this American asked for extra ketchup. No apologies. The sauce looks thicker here than in person. It was light and tasty. Robert ordered the Mediterranean Panini and loved it. The wide shot at right was the view from my seat. When the weather is warmer, I'm heading to the outdoor tables.

Here's the view from my seat again. Great bar. When you enter the restaurant, you pass the bakery with delectable goodies... Yum.

Robert had a fashion moment with me when we left. A full belly makes me happy. I'm wearing thrift store shirt, Forever 21 "pearls", vintage purse, True Religion jeans, Urban Outfitter belt and Dolce Vita shoes.

We stopped by La Luz De Jesus afterward. I want to snap up both pieces by artist Magda Trzaksi, who reminds me of Tim Burton & Edward Gorey.

If you look at more of her work, I kept thinking Beetle Juice and Nightmare Before Christmas.
