La perle du quartier

Bar Chelou is Pasadena’s first true neo-bistro, a casual, convivial space that is both a distillation of Chef Doug Rankin's broad gastronomic interests and a deeply personal expression of his individualistic style. 'Chelou' (French slang for ‘strange’ or ‘unexpected’) is both the name and unifying theme of the restaurant, which draws from a range of culinary traditions and service styles to create something personal, novel and fun.

The restaurant is located within the Pasadena Playhouse complex.

NEED TO KNOW
for wine brought into the restaurant is $30 per 750ml bottle with no limit; we do not offer corkage for wines featured on our wine list. Liquor is not permitted to be brought into the restaurant.

Ample parking is available on surrounding streets and at several paid lots within a one-block radius. We recommend parking in the municipal lot directly behind the building we share with the Playhouse or at the underground lot just across the street

While we were waiting for our party to gather, the barmen made the best skinny margarita I had ever tried. The food and service were great, but the portions were too small. If you are hungry, you need to order the whole menu or double of dishes to feed your hunger. 😁😁

Fabulous experience! I couldn’t tell you what my favorite dish was because they were all so delicious, thoughtful and well-executed! Interesting mix of flavors, cuisine and technique as well; a unique experience to be sure! I will most certainly be back!

Bar chelou is one of my new favorite places and I have been bragging about it an embarrassing amount to friends for the past few months. I have been there now 3 times and took my friend for the first time this week. We decided to sit in bar area and to be honest I was shocked by the experience - as was he. It took 20-30 min to receive first drink order and water and two men that sat next to us for only 5 min where helped first which was surprising. I noticed the portions of food were much smaller and prices raised - which is fine - but the crisp was quite fishy. We did not complain though as the food is excellent and I appreciate. However when we were finished with our first drink, it took over 45 min to get a second round - I asked a waitress with dreadlocks 3 times for a second round and she did not deliver- where I had fo ask a another waitress for help - no apologies or mention of comping a drink were mentioned. A round of drinks were taken off our bill which was appreciated however it did not make sense as to why the service was so poor. It was a bit offensive and I’m a bit shocked to be honest as this was my new favorite restaraunt. I only write this because my husband is in the industry with Wolfgang and it’s necessary to know about the change of dynamic after only a few months - it was too drastic of a change for this place in only 2 months and I hope it doesn’t happen again to anyone else because I truly respect this restaraunt and would like to go back one day .

Such a treat. Every dish perfection. Fresh, delicious, exalted and original. Noise level greatly reduced due to ceiling modification which we appreciated. Service wonderful. Ask your service person for wine recommendations. You’ll taste a couple of amazing options. Great vibe. This establishment is one of my all time favorites.

The food was delicious and flavorful. Harper provided great food service; attentive but not intrusive. Crispy potatoes, lamb chops and the asparagus were especially delicious. Highly recommend this place and will be back!
