🌟 LA Food Discovery｜Amazing Value Michelin Star — Pasjoli

Seized a teammate’s birthday to try Pasjoli, a Michelin one-star French restaurant in Santa Monica. Gotta say — this might be one of the best value Michelin experiences in LA. You not only leave stuffed, but with leftovers to take home, and the flavors are great too. The restaurant’s ambiance is lovely — clearly designed with care, seats are spacious and comfy (recommend sitting indoors). Unlike the delicate plating at other Michelin spots, here it’s more about simplicity and generous portions 😂 — check out the overflowing salad in Pic 5 — honestly, they really don’t need to give that much… we were so full! 🍽 Recommended Dishes: 🌟 Appetizer — Thon et Tomate A whole tomato 🍅 filled with tuna tartare, sitting on a layer of cream. Tangy and refreshing — the cream balances the tomato’s acidity nicely 👍🏻. 🌟 Foie de Poulet à la Strasbourgeoise (Chicken Liver Toast) Bread topped with chicken liver mousse — looks cute, right? The liver mousse was a bit salty for me, and the bread slightly dry. Served with sweet black truffle jam — the jam helped tone down the saltiness. Recommend trying the petite size just for a taste. 🌟 Main — Canard à la Rouennaise à la Presse (Pressed Duck for Two) Their signature duck set for two: crispy duck skin salad + duck leg bread pudding + two servings of roasted duck breast. Portion is huge — you almost don’t need other appetizers. 🌟🌟🌟 Highlight — Duck Bread Pudding: So uniquely flavored — sweet and sour with cherries inside, tender juicy meat at the bottom. My favorite dish — highly recommend! We were too full for dessert (menu in the last pic). Also, service charge is already included in the price — no need to tip extra (though you can if you want). Without drinks, ~$100+ per person is enough. 📍 Address: 2732 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90405 Overall, an excellent experience 👍🏻 — the kind of place I’d return to. Give it a try — reserve on OpenTable in advance! 💕 If you liked this, don’t forget to follow for more content — updating regularly… #FoodDiscovery #Inspiration #RestaurantHopping #LosAngeles #WeekendEats #DateNightSpot
