Le Guide – USA Magazine

"Un tel nom rend toujours méfiant ! Ça sonne faussement bleu-blanc-rouge... et pourtant Fifi, la maîtresse de maison, est une pure Savoyarde, Ex-boulangère-patissière aux Contamines, tout près de St. Gèrvais. Dans son agréable petit resto de Pacific Grove, un peu trop bord de route mais franchement douillet, elle reçoit dans un décor qui serait un compromis entre le bar parisien et l'auberge de province. Son mari est originaire d'Angleterre et oenologue averti.  La cuisine, tenue par un mexicain, se révèle curieusement très terroir... A noter un surprenant dîner articulé autour de quelques bourgognes d'anthologie dont un Puligny Montrachet 1 er cru et un Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St Jacques... Dans ce petit bout de Californie, un tel programme culinaire à de quoi surprendre, même à 100f par personne."

Cedar Street Times

"I guess what I am trying to say is - Fifi's is more than the sum of its' parts...they have heart, soul and love oozing out of the woodwork, like only a truly French place can."

San Francisco Chronicle – Follow The Reader

"A most charming bistro...The staff couldn't be more pleasant."
