San Diego Restaurants : North County Inland

Bernard'O Restaurant

Unassuming elegance is paired by striking attention to detail at Bernard’O Restaurant, in Rancho Bernardo. The main dining room provides a cosmopolitan space lit with the glow of an Italian-tile fireplace. The patio that affords views of glistening stars most nights also has a fireplace to keep diners comfortable. The menu is a toast to fine French fare, and Chef Patrick Ponsaty plates dishes complex in flavor and refreshingly direct in vision. The Californian Bouillabaisse is an ode to the sea with seabass, scallops, shrimp, mussels, clams, and potatoes, in a Rouille lobster sauce.

Luc's Bistro

Luc’s Bistro fuses two cuisines where its origins are in two totally different continents: French and Southern cuisine. Although two distinctive takes on how to prepare food, Luc’s skillfully creates dishes housed in one location in the heart of Poway. Try Southern dishes like Crispy Crab Cakes with Avocado Cilantro, which takes a dish with Southern flare and melds it with a California twist. Ongoing specials pop up daily to switch the mood for returning visitor or allowing newcomers to new creations from Luc’s talented chefs. Cozy and casual, the “bistro-esque” dining room invites guests to dine amongst with friends, family, or their significant other. Who says that a bistro has to serve only French cuisine? Luc’s Bistro shows patrons that a restaurant can create its own flare by taking different styles and consummate a brand new approach on food.
