I've had many set menu/prix fix/chef's choice dinners, and I can easily say this was one of the best I've ever had at this price point. Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Very friendly and efficient staff! Our server's cheery attitude made this a very memorable evening. **Decor & cleanliness, 5/5** The restaurant is located in the mall, which takes away from the romantic atmosphere just a smidge, but the quality of the menu will make you forget that you're in a mall entirely. **Price & portion, 5/5** At $65 for 5 courses, you'll leave full and satiated from the amount of food and all the variety! **Presentation of the food, 5/5** Each plate is gorgeous and definitely makes you feel like you're having a fine dining experience. **Taste of the food, 5/5** - Heirloom carrots: This was the most underwhelming course, but only because everything that followed was so good. - Steak tartare: Perfectly savory, tangy, and had a very fun contrast of flavors with the cheese crisp. I only wish the cheese crisp was a bit sturdier so I could scoop the tartare. - Shrimp chawamushi: This is the best chawamushi I've ever had. The sweet, perfectly cooked shrimp, the delicate steamed egg, and the fresh garnishes all complimented each other so well. I could have easily eaten another bowl or two! - Braised beef cheeks: I knew as soon as our server brought this out *without* giving us knives, that this was going to be super tender. I was so right. You could eat the entire dish with just a spoon! If you had any room before this course, this main will definitely fill you up. The portion is very generous, and the beef cheeks are unbelievably tender so you just want to keep eating. The pickled mushroom topping was very unique but worked so well with. My only complaint here is that the beef really needed a touch of salt as the only salt/acidity I was getting was from the pickled shimeji. - Rice pudding: I wasn't expecting much when I heard that rice pudding was on the menu for dessert, but wow -- this was also the best rice pudding I've ever had. The rice was cooked perfectly, soaked up so much fantastic flavor, and was SO balanced I think I could've eaten 3 of these too! The honey and jammy fresh strawberries made this sweet, light, fruity, floral, fragrant, and such an incredible end to the meal. I'd seriously pay for this recipe so I can eat it when I'm not in SoCal. read more

Fantastic! Creative and refined cuisine. We always do the multi course tasting menu. You're not going to find a better value for a French tasting menu with wine pairing anywhere. We've always enjoyed dining at Mix Mix and was excited when they opened this place. Highly recommended! read more

I may call this a hidden gem located inside South Coast Plaza. It's the perfect place to stop in for an elevated meal while shopping and it still feels removed from the mall and peaceful despite being located inside. Our server was so sweet and personable, and you can see the chefs bustling about the open kitchen. They offer a prix-fixe menu of 5 course for $65 or you can order a-la-carte which is what we did. The menu we received is slightly different from what is online so I'll try to remember but we split the Stone Fruit Salad that consists of the freshest ingredients and delicious chunks of cheese combined with a rosé wine vinaigrette that I could drink. And speaking of sauces I could drink, the Duck Confit Spring Rolls were so unique and fun and served alongside the most flavorful nouc cham. For the price I do wish it was served with 4 instead of two but I suppose the duck is what makes it pricey. Along with the Asian vibe the entrees have a French feel to them. My mom ordered the Casarecce Pasta which is a seemingly simple dish with a tomato sauce, homemade ricotta and smoked chili oil but it all tasted so fresh and came together very well. I had the Royale with Cheese(burger) which comes topped with Raclette cheese, pickled onions and cornichon secret sauce on a potato bun. Let me tell you it was SO GOOD. It was juicy and all the things you want a burger to be. It also comes with a generous side of their house-made pickles which reminded me of thick-cut Asian cucumber-style pickles. I don't know if that makes sense but they were very good and because my mom was raving about them they even brought her out a side of them which was so nice. read more

First time for me visiting this yummy place, it is in South Coast Plaza ( the old Lawry's restaurant). My girlfriends took me here for a birthday celebration. Reservations were easy to make, we were seated quickly. The place was clean and very nice ambiance. We chose the prefix lunch- appetizer, main dish and dessert. Two of us started with the scallops, it was an amazing group of flavors that exploded in your mouth. One had the salad which was excellent, the dressing was very good. We all had the salmon, cooked to perfection with a crispy outer coating. It was excellent. We ended with the rice pudding with pistachios. My mouth was pleasantly surprised with the amazing blend of flavors. I highly recommend this place . I'm sure your tastebuds will love it! read more

Another trip back and the whole group was thrilled with the food. Raw scallops were stunning and tasted amazing, singing with a perfectly balanced acidic yet sweet sauce. The octopus was crispy and tender at the same time, punctuated with spiced sauce (not too spicy) and bright cucumbers. The shrimp salad continues to be a hit and the duck was described as excellent. The burger was the star though with homemade bun, plenty of delicious sauce and perfectly cooked. The cherry on top of all this was not just the chocolate dessert, which my friend said was one of the best desserts she's ever had, it was the service . The hostess was so welcoming and friendly and was constantly making the rounds refilling waters which was so appreciated. Our waitress was so personable, gave great recommendations and frequently checked in. I wonder where they find such great staff. I can honestly say it's been a long time since I've had that type of service. I'm not sure if Friday evening is ever going to be super crowded, it wasn't . I hear it's a huge hit for lunch/brunch. I can't say enough good things you are missing out if you don't go here!! read more

我們要學會與這個世界溫柔相待，不為難自己，不盲目較勁，任何事情總有答案，與其煩惱，不如順其自然，有些事笑一笑就好，無需太認真，有些人看看就行，也無需太在意～ 今天要放這個在南海岸的餐廳，我來過第三次了，朋友喜歡吃他們的鴨胸，他們是為了鴨胸而來，其實這家算法國菜，在西餐裡價格還可以接受，雖然菜色不多，但是有些東西真的做得不錯，我們點的Spice crab salad, 章魚腳， 主菜鴨胸跟甜點rice pudding , 都很有水準，可是我真的要講的是小費的這個問題，昨天去吃飯，看到他們要求的是18 %， 20 %，跟30 %， 對你沒看錯， 我也沒寫錯，真的就是誇張了， 30%，現在吃飯真的要給這麼貴的小費嗎？問題是昨天我們去的時候招待我們的小姐對我們的態度也不是很好，一副沒有耐性的模樣，其實我覺得給10% 都嫌多，因為她的態度，美國這失控的小費文化，真的有點令人抓狂的感覺，搞的我有時都不想去餐廳吃飯了，大家是不是也有同感呀？ read more

Was invited for a friend's annual CNY/Tet celebration here at Populaire Modern Bistro. We had enough people to basically take over the right side of the restaurant near the bathrooms. Everyone had a set menu and the only option we had was to decide on our main (either their steak, sea bass or the duck). First dish was a gem salad featuring a rose vinegrette. The veggies were perfectly coated with just the right amount of dressing so that you could still taste all of the flavors of the vegetables. Second dish was a duck confit spliff which was their take on a spring roll. It was served with your traditional Vietnamese nuoc cham dipping sauce. This was exceptionally good and could've put down a few more. The third course was a shrimp chawanmushi which was super flavorful. Loved the added textures of the crispy shallots and pea tendrils. Super flavorful but wished they brought this dish out pipping hot. For my main, I opted for the peppercorn steak which was super peppery. The steak was cooked to a perfect medium rare but the peppercorn sauce was a tad bit too peppery for me. The wife ordered the duck which I thought was awesome. As for desserts, the host had a dessert table with a wide variety from various dessert shops in the OC area (sadly forgot to snap a pic). Loved our meal here and would definitely come back in the near future. read more

Other than the fantastic service, the 1 item I bought was pathetic. Escargo in a puff pastry. The snail can be large or size of a sunflower seed. This was the tiny size. So, I ate puff pastry with a wipped topping. Pretty tasteless. I lived in France & never found this combination ever in ALL of France read more

Despite the bistro ambiance we had a very high end meal here for my husband's birthday. In November 2023 the pre fixe menu was great value at $65 for 5 courses plus we also did the $35 wine pairing. 1st course Persimmon with homemade ricotta & faro -3/5 this was an interesting starter part cheese part faro 2nd course Steak tartare -5/5 this course was delicious and I wished I had more! 3rd course Brown butter crab in a smoked bonito broth with squash, ginger & Thai basil -5/5 wow this was outstanding and bursting with flavor! I could have eaten 3 bowls of this! 4th course Braised Beef Cheek Or Duck -5/5 I'm not a fan of braised beef cheek because it reminds me of having to eat too much pot roast back when I was a kid and I dislike pot roast BUT they so nicely offered to substitute this dish with duck and the duck was perfectly cooked and quite tasty 5th course (Dessert) Rice pudding with pomegranate, honey & almonds -4/5 a solid dessert but not amazing Service 5/5 Service was outstanding!! Ambiance 4/5 Nice bistro feel all open inside South Coast plaza mall on the side closer to Bear St. Overall we'd come back to try their many seasonal menus! read more

So many reasons to love this restaurant. First, the food is great and relatively affordable for this level of dining. Definitely order more appetizers than usual. You'll finish all of them for sure. Second no corkage! Hard to find out these days. And, last but not least their service has always been great. read more

Planned the chef's table 7-course tasting menu for my friend's 40th birthday. Unfortunately, the morning of the day of our reservation, the chef calls to tell me that the sous chef is sick and he's catering so we wouldn't be able to do the chef's table but he offered us the comped 5-course prix fixe with an additional course to make up for the disappointment. With it being much late notice, we decided to go and enjoy this 5-course + 1 meal. Honestly, we thoroughly enjoyed every single course. Beautifully presented with wonderful flavors. The food here is fantastic. There were a few substitutions of ingredients but none of them impacted the courses negatively. I came here once prior and ordered off the a la carte menu and was not as impressed as I was by their tasting menu. It's what's I would recommend if you decide to come here. The service was great and the decor is gorgeous. In spite of the initial disappointment, Populaire made up for it in spades. Would happily return. Thanks again for taking good care of us. read more

Loved! I searched gluten free restaurants and this place popped up! It's conveniently at the south coast plaza, surrounded by beautiful shops! We were seated in a booth, love the decor and the blue chairs with gold accents. A pleasant atmosphere, reminded me of being in Paris! Open seating with comfortable tables and booths! My friend ordered a glass or red wine, I had a glass of Pinot Grigio/ it was ok, I'd try something else next time. My friend ordered the burger- said it was scrumptious ! I had the duck with figs and wow. It was sooo good, I love duck and it was gluten free! They have a gluten free chocolate dessert I'll be going back for. Service was fantastic, quiet on a Monday night! Clean, bring, beautiful, delicious food, tantalizing menu, can't wait to return Suggest someone for a date, girls night out before/ after shopping for lunch drinks etc! read more

Chefs Ross Pangilinan and Nicholas Weber have their sights set on Michelin's Bib Gourmand and it shows. No dish relied on salt for flavor and every ingredient was incorporated thoughtfully, doing its part to elevate the dish as a whole. Populaire is also very flexible with their menu: not everyone needs to participate in the prix fixe, and prix fixe menu items can be ordered a la carte if they really happen to pique your interest. The dinner price point is surprisingly reasonable at just $65/pp, +$35/pp for the optional wine pairing. We were seated right away for a birthday dinner, and service was fantastic. Our waitress was so personable without being overbearing, and had a lot of valuable input for menu recommendations. Ratatouille. I knew veggies could taste like this, but at the same time I didn't know veggies could taste like this. Mixing in the egg yolk and comte cheese makes this a tangy yet creamy, dreamy hit. Spanish octopus. Perfectly cooked, not at all tough or rubbery. I'll be dreaming about the Moroccan chermoula until I can have it again. Cascarecci pasta. This was a sleeper hit for me, as the deceptively simple description makes it something I usually would not order. If they told me that the San Marzano tomatoes they used came from God's own vineyard, I could only respond with, "Yep, that checks out." Rice pudding. I don't like rice pudding but I liked this one, probably because the texture was more like creme brulee which was wonderfully juxtaposed against the savory and crunchy pistachios. read more

The prices at this French restaurant are very reasonable and affordable, making it a place I highly recommend. The décor is beautiful, and the service is excellent. I'll definitely be returning.

My friend, who is vegetarian, shared a few of their vegetarian dishes with me, and they were equally tasty. read more

Will never spend my money at this restaurant. I've been dining at this specific location since it was called Lawry's Bistro...and I was told by Amber - before getting a table - that restrooms are for customers. --- interesting, since I've been a customer on so many occasions. Then..she went on to give me incorrect directions to the mall ladies room. Very rude and inconsiderate---I will never visit the establishment again read more

Little pricy but cute french place with not overly large portions. We came here for a lunch at south coast plaza on a saturday, not crowded at all so we got a seating, there is seating inside and outside of store attached to mall. For drinks we got a white and red each, for food I got the Royale With Cheese(burger) ($22) and my fiance got the duck breast ($39). Both wines were solid and they give you a good pour. We also had a ratatouille appetizer ($16) to share. Ratatouille Appetizer (6/10)-too salty and they do not give you a lot of toast, wish they give you more toast but flavor profile has deep tomato flavor. Cheeseburger (7/10)-burger was cooked medium and cheese was high quality, one of the best cheese I've had, the seeded bun was not it for me, but the pickles on burger and side cut the greasiness. Duck Breast (9/10)-good balance of sweet and salt, the beet sauce was rich and went well with the fatty duck. The service is not the fastest here so a nice bougie lunch for those days you have lots of time. Would love to try the fish dishes or the 5 course meal my next visit. read more

We celebrated my mom's birthday here. There were quite a few of us so I'll only focus on the dishes my wife and I had. I had the fish du jour (salmon) and it was outstanding. Perfectly prepared fish, beautifully plated. My wife had the Casarecce pasta with San Marzano tomato sauce, homemade ricotta cheese and smoked chili oil. It was also an outstanding, perfectly prepared dish. The ricotta was creamy and indulgent. The two of us shared an French onion soup that was the best I've had in Southern California. It was that good. Our table shared Homemade Parker House rolls: fresh, hot, fluffy with delicious salted butter. For dessert my wife and I shared the rice pudding which had slices of fruit, pistachio and wild honey. A wonderful end to the meal. The waitress was friendly and casual --- more bistro in attitude, even though the prices were more fine dining. The ambiance was casual, friendly --- and for a high end California-French restaurant not highbrow at all. That worked for me. The food is the real star here. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Populaire Modern Bistro delivers an elegant, thoughtfully executed dining experience that feels special without being stiff.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the moment I sat down, the service set the tone. My waitress, Anagoretti, was attentive, warm, and effortlessly professional. She struck that perfect balance of being present without hovering, which made the evening feel relaxed and welcoming, especially as a solo diner. I started with the escargot, which was rich, buttery, and deeply flavorful. Perfectly cooked and indulgent without being heavy. For my main, I ordered the duck, and it was the standout of the night. Beautifully prepared, tender, and full of depth, with every element on the plate feeling intentional and well balanced. Dessert was the chocolate cake, and it was exactly what a great dessert should be. Decadent, not overly sweet, and the ideal way to end the meal.

Dear Populaire, Birthday experiences matter and the chef's choices really are wonderful and fulfilling here. I love that each part really brings out the best of the next. Ricotta cheese, scallop tartar, both are great starts soft starts that really gave a sweet and savory flavor. Awesome and wonderful dishes. Shrimp soup with broth is yummy and warm yet seems simple to have at home. The escargot fried very good on the side so good I loved this. Pork loin is very yummy and came out delicious to eat at the end with a deliciousness dessert to celebrate together. The place is a nice light blue spot with good seating. Great people that help and soft music that leaves a 90s vibe with sprinkles of the paintings and photos. Aesthetics are nice and we will visit again. read more

Had a good experience here despite service being quite slow. There was a bigger party next to us and the small kitchen seemed a little unequipped to handle it. The waitress was also busy attending to them the whole time. We ordered one of the set menus, including the spring salad, cavatelli pasta, and chocolate desert. Additionally, ordered some items off the regular menu- the ladies who lunch salad, Spanish octopus, and ratatouille. The Ladies who Lunch salad was a surprising standout and favorite at our table. It came in a large portion and was very fresh. I just wish there was more chicken inside. The ratatouille was delicious as well; the gochujang added a complex unexpected flavor. The Spanish octopus I felt was slightly rubbery and a small portion for the price. I would revisit still, specifically for the Ladies Who Lunch salad, and to try other items on the menu. read more

Love the food, the staff and the vibe. I recommend the prefix menu. They have a very good selection of wine and it is a great value!

My friend treated me out to this place for my birthday. She just came back from France so she was trying hard not to compare especially since it was more like fusion French food. When I arrived, I told the host that I had a reservation and she looked really out of it and confused. It was a little bizarre. That kind of set the tone for service. The server was nice but she always seemed to be rushing off somewhere and hard to flag down. Anyway, we ended up ordering the ratatouille, duck, and octopus dishes. They all tasted okay but we enjoyed the flavors and taste of the duck the best. I received a complimentary dessert for my birthday but was not told this. Again, the communication was not there and it was confusing. I also got a spritzer that I couldn't remember the name of because it was not memorable. There was no atmosphere because it was located on the side of the mall so the focus was purely on food. In the end, the experience was underwhelming and the food was overpriced $130+ and not worth it. I don't think I would come back. read more

Had such a disappointing Father's Day dinner here and would not recommend.. starting with positives the menu items were unique - escargot ebelskivers, saffron chawanmushi, I was excited to bring my parents because they have lighter tastes and the seafood leaning dishes sounded good! It was also very lovely inside. We ordered: -Saffron Chawanmushi -Escargot ebelskivers -Gem Salad remove cheese -Spanish octopus -Hamachi -Paris Brest for dessert To start off..the service was extremely lackluster from the waitstaff. We didn't get any intro to the restaurant or walk through of the menu.. it felt like ordering from a diner. Throughout the meal, it was bare minimum service bringing the dishes to us, never checking up on us in between. Between the last dish and dessert, there was 15 min of me looking up trying to get someone's attention and they'd look me straight in the eye and walk past..it was really really strange for a restaurant of this atmosphere. I have been treated more warmly at Denny's. We ended up flagging down another table's waitress and asking if she could help check on our dessert and check so we could get out of there. Maybe the food could have saved the experience but it was equally bad. The dishes were beautifully presented, but the flavor was not there. Hamachi was insanely inedibly salty. My parents were most excited about the octopus and it was over cooked and overpowered by sauce. Salad + ebelskivers + chawanmushi were the most tolerable dishes. My dad left in such a bad mood from the dinner.. it was really upsetting since it was Father's Day. I'm glad we got to try a new restaurant together but I wish I hadn't been this one. read more

Stumbled upon this place as I just wanted to try something new while we were at South Coast plaza. My expectations were pretty low as I didn't know what to expect but OMG I was blown away by the food! I asked for a booth and they were able to accommodate that as it wasn't very busy that afternoon. Brunch time was also ending but they were willing to accommodate orders from the brunch menu so that's a plus! We got started with the steak tartare and this was one of the better ones I've tried! It looked a little suspicious at first because you couldn't really see the steak when it's served to you but it was so good!!! I had the fish du jour which was salmon that day and my fiancé had the chateau steak medium. They were both cooked perfectly! The salmon was crispy on the outside but not overcooked. Whatever sauce they had with the salmon was also so good and complimented the dish perfectly. For dessert we had the chocolat which we both shared. This was also very good and enough for 2 people. They give you bazookas when you get the check. This was pretty unique as i haven't seen bazookas in a while lol. Would definitely come back again! read more

Specifically dined her for the gnudi, which is hilariously named "Send Gnudis" on the menu . These jumbo pillows were velvety and pillow-like gems. Good portion size, plenty of browned butter surrounding them. Ample green onion too. The dish was bland and definitely needed salt. The pistachios were soft due to the heat and butter, so if I order these again, I have the kitchen hold them because they don't do anything for the dish. The restaurant itself is modern and trendy, light and bright. It's located inside South Coast Plaza, so it can be a bit noisy. Service was okay... after my entree was delivered, i wasn't checked on until I finished my food. Cute that you get bazooka gum with your check. Overall, just average. Pending mood, time, and location might visit again, but didn't leave craving to return. read more
