Figaro Brasserie
For the worst dining in all of Los Angeles, you'd drive to that hip
area on North Vermont in Los Feliz and find Figaro Brasserie. This place claims
to be a French Bistro and does actually look the part, but fails miserably in
the food department. It is absolutely awful.
Rather than waste my time trying to describe how awful it is, I'm going
to list a few of the problems. I apologize in advance — maybe this is real
French food and I've been eating the fake stuff all along.
- Fois Gras is sweeter than honey and spreads on like really oily lard.
- Mussels in milk soup.
- Vegetarian dish is a plate of steamed vegetables.
- Onion Soup is just onions and cheese with no liquid at all. Sweeter
than sugar. Like a dessert!
- Lamb was flavorless and overcooked.
- Monk Fish should be called little Filet O'Fish McNuggets with sub-McDonald's-standard
tartar sauce.
We all love dessert. We were hoping for a decent end to the meal. Forgehduboudit.
- The Pear Tart starts out tasting OK when you first take a bite, but quickly
escalates into a sugar rush that hurts your throat.
- Chocolate Mousse was year-old super-frozen chocolate ice cream.
I was the only one who finished my dessert:
- Their "World Famous" Creme Brulee, which was one step below mediocre.
That was the high point in my meal.
BTW, everyone looks relatively happy in these pictures because we haven't tried
the food yet.
