This casual "frenchish" restaurant, co-owned by chef John Paul Carmona and pastry chef Belinda Leong of B Patisserie, celebrates delicious and unassuming cooking. The welcoming service, wine and cocktails echo the approachability of the food.
“An incredible experience. The staff was very welcoming and attentive, and our waitress had great recommendations for us. I suggest getting a small plate paired with a main for each person, as the portions are focused on quality and aesthetic instead of volume. The sashimi and risotto were especially good!”
“An outstanding dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious, the service was attentive and genuinely welcoming, and they even serve Génépi — a rare and wonderful French digestif that was the perfect finish to the meal. This is exactly what you hope for from an authentic French restaurant: exceptional cuisine, excellent service, and those special touches that make the experience memorable. Highly recommended!”
“We hosted our Super Bowl weekend Welcome Reception at Routier and I can say it was the BEST decision to host here! We rented out the entire restaurant it was an amazing party! Chef JP was so helpful with picking out the food & wine to pair with our menu. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the staff was wonderful the night of the party. Everyone loved the food...and the desserts were my favorite part! That chocolate mousse and the fianciers (cookie, almond bread thing) at the end were the BEST thing I have eaten in so long (I took home a box for my family!). They were so good!!! This was a great place to host our party.”
“This really was very good. Wished we had more people with us because it’s best for eating family style. The corn risotto highlighted the corn more than the rice and was gooey with cheddar cheese. I also liked my beet close NA cocktail and the artichoke pepper pave, which is sliced potatoes smushed together in a square shape - tastes like a tater tot. Make a reservation!”
“The place is serving eclectic french atmosphere, and the food is overall very tasty - even the less successful dishes were still good, and nothing we tried was a complete let down, but most items didn't stand out either. I'm glad they let you order the duck confit outside of the prefix menu, as it is by far the highlight of the meal, however it's quite expensive for what you get. The value for money is somewhat questionable - not a cheap meal by any means.”
