If you want to escape to an excellent French Bistro while you are in the Carmel/Monterey area, stop by Fifi's. My parents' best friends, Helen and Fred Pinkham introduced us to Fifi's almost 10 years ago. We make it a point to get to Fifi's on every trip. Lunch - great. Sunday brunch - a treat. Dinner - yummy. And they have a great wine list which is all for sale by the bottle or case at very attractive prices. Talbot. Rombauer. Merry Edwards Pinot. Mount Veeder Cab. Great wines. Great prices. And Fifi herself will be there to serve you. You will hear her French accent as she bustles about the customers. You will look closely at her glitter makeup and marvel how she pulls it off. And she will make you feel welcome and special. As they say, "You had me at the French bread and butter." French Onion Soup. Eggs benedict. Sand Dabs. Steak Frites. Mussels & Prawns in Saffron Broth. Yes please! Best French Restaurant in Monterey County - 2015. Best Dinner for Two in Monterey Under $100 - New York Times.
