So, if you would like to try French cuisines, it'll be ideal to do some research about their best tasting dishes.
Drinks
No one will make you order a bottled water you need to pay for. When in a French restaurants in South Pasadena, do as what every other French person will do; order a "carafe d'eau" or decanter of water. If you are going to buy a bottled water, make sure to specify which one you prefer; is it the plat (still) or gazeuse (sparkling).
Wines that are served in decanter is the highest quality and thus, the most expensive you can get when compared to a simple bottle of wine. In the event that you can't make a decision on which one to choose, it is ideal if you are going to order for Cote du Rhone. This is actually a quality red wine that's favoured by lots of connoisseurs. Check out http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/la-restaurants/ for tips regarding finding restaurants in LA.
