About this business
Bistro 45 is a very hot spot on the quickly rising East Side. Located in Pasadena, this Cal-French hybrid offers the best of both worlds. The wine list is fantastic, the decor is tasteful, and the mood is romantic. Be sure to save room for the always exquisite desserts as well. Those who live by the Rose Bowl do not have to make the drive for quality European anymore. Forget that immediate impulse, though. Rising popularity has made reservations here a must.

You will not be disapointed! – Me and my husband feel so lucky that we found this Amazing place. It is by far our favorite restaurant. It is quite reasonable for such great food. We have never had a bad, or even mediocre meal here, and we come for every special occasion. We are always in awe, and leave happy and content. Great service, beautiful ambiance. Try it, you will not be sorry.
Service Above and Beyond – My Girlfriend and I called last minute on a Saturday night for a table and despite the fact that the restaurant was closed for a private party they set up a special area for us. Unfortunately, we finished our meal at the same time the private party was winding down and it had begun to rain. The poor valet attendants were pushed to the limit and we were stuck behind a line of 30 something drunk office folk. Our waiter realizing our situation jumped out the side door and asked the valet attendant to ... read more
Great service, amazing food, friendly atmosphere – I'm starting to make the rounds around the higher-end restaurants of Pasadena. Though I'm not a local, I come to the area every once in a while and like to try something new. Last night, it was time to try Bistro 45. In a quaint building on a one-way street, it's easily missed if you're not looking carefully. Valet parking was $4.50 but there was plenty of free street parking on a Wednesday evening. Once inside, the hostess was friendly and we were seated promptly. The light... read more
Great service, Great food, nice, quiet ambiance – The food here was very good and you get great service from the maitre'd who is also very knowledgeable. They even keep your sparkling water bottle cold for you!
Wonderful! – Having seen and heard about the restaurant for quite some time, I was pleased that it was participating in the San Pellegrino Dine Out, which offered prix fixe meals for $35. From the time we called in for last minute reservations (called in 15 minutes before we showed on a Tuesday) to the time we left, the service from the entire staff was excellent. I'm on crutches and upon first walking in, the hostess Gigi was genuinely concerned about my condition and asked if there were any special seating arrangements I n... read more
A Perfect Evening – We celebrated our 25th anniversary here with seven friends and it was perfect. Every course was outstanding. I particularly recommend the scallops, and you must save room for one of the incredible desserts such as chocolate soup. The wine list alone is worth the trip. The service was first rate. Our waiter was knowledgeable and pleasant. Although this is not considered a "child friendly" restaurant, we had a well-behaved two-year-old in our party. They happily provided a child seat as well as a "not on th... read more
French-Californian Fare at its Finest – You will be extremely satisfied after your dining experience at Bistro 45... it's unassuming from the outside, situated among run-of-the-mill buildings on a side street in Pasadena, but the ambience and food inside is anything but ordinary. Presentation was valued, as expressed by each server attending to you almost non-stop, replacing glasses and napkins just so, making sure everything looked perfect. But as much of a fuss as was put into the appearance of the place, the food did NOT ... read more
Wow! Truly amazing food. – My husband and I ate at Bistro 45 for the first time this evening. We were initially skeptical because the only table we could get was the one in the front room near the bar. However, this turned out not to be a problem. In fact, it was a very lovely spot, and one of the quietest tables iin the restaurant. We both had 2 appetizers and a dessert. My salad with Bermuda Triangle goat cheese and figs and my duck confit ravioli were amazing. My husband's short ribs were also fantastic. For dessert, the ... read more
Elegant Pasadena bistro dishes up seasonal California-French fare and sophisticated wines. – The Scene A small, jewel-like Deco building on a quiet Old Pasadena street unfolds a series of three intimate, connected dining rooms tastefully adorned with champagne wallpaper, French silk lanterns, landscape paintings and white tablecloths. Lunches or evening parties are pleasant in the ivy-walled patio, and the vibrant, ochre-toned entrance bar room is inviting. Well-heeled Pasadena regulars range from romantic couples to Cal-tec... read more
