RÊVE is not that snooty, splurge-on-your-anniversary kind of French restaurant. Au contraire.This is your classic, everyday neighborhood French bistro run by Chef Paul Magu-Lecugy & his wife, Laura. That kind of cozy little place you’d imagine in Saint Michel or Saint Germain. Not smack dab in the middle of the 'burbs. But lucky for you, that’s exactly where 5-star chef Paul Magu will be paying homage to the French comfort food that he fell in love with as a boy growing up in Paris. We’re talking authentic French onion soup. Steamed mussels. Steak frites. And don’t forget creme brulee… 2021 -2024 Michelin recognized Open Table "Diner's Choice" 2017-2024Reservations available for 8 or less people until May.

    Always enjoy their pasta but thought we would try their entrees. The lamb shank and the petrale soul were savory and presented well, though a bit more rich than we are accustomed to. The radicchio salad was very good and our desserts were great. Our waiter, Benjamin was really nice as was the maitre d’. A great neighborhood restaurant!

    As a foodie, I'm comfortable saying that this is the best French restaurant in the East Bay. We've been going here Three or four times a year since the restaurant opened and it's always been great. Chef Paul and his team are awesome. The outdoor patio area is wonderful in the summer and covered and heated in the winter.
