LA French Dining — Pasjoli 🌟 Michelin-Starred Duck Done Right 🦆

Pasjoli — a 1-Michelin-star French spot where the duck is seriously delicious. Elegant, tranquil atmosphere perfect for girls’ nights, dates, or cozy chats over drinks. Has a bar, service is attentive. 📍 2732 Main St, Santa Monica, CA 90405 Close to the beach, with hourly public parking nearby. We went with the signature duck course menu (two options available). 🍽️ Course-by-Course: 🥐 Butter Brioche — Rich, buttery, lightly crisp. 🥗 Green Salad — Fresh, sweet, crunchy, with crumbled biscuit bits. 🥘 Duck Rillette on Crisp Bread — Shredded duck with a hint of plum, served with pearl onions. 🍗 Duck Breast (Medium Rare) — Crispy skin, juicy and tender meat, creamy savory sauce. So flavorful and layered. 🍽️ Side: Duck-fat roasted breadcrumbs, beans, and basil. 🥧 Apple Tart — Usually not an apple pie fan, but this was bright and tangy, not cloying. Caramelized crust, soft filling. 🍮 Soufflé — They forgot it initially, but made a fresh one for us after a 30-minute wait. Worth it! #FrenchCuisine #MichelinLA #SantaMonicaEats #DuckLovers#DateNightSpot #GirlsNight #FineDining #LAEats
