Bonjour Café & Bistro owner, Pascal Le Vettet, immigrated to the United States in 1984, and upon his arrival to the area, found there was something missing—an authentic Parisian-style bistro.

Having grown up in the middle of Paris, where neighborhood bistros are common, le Vettet wanted to share his experiences and a unique flavor with Southern California locals.

On March 2, 1992, le Vettet did just that, by opening Bonjour Café & Bistro. Having worked in the food industry in very sophisticated and highly reputed establishments both in Europe and the United States, le Vettet’s passion for cooking plus his desire to make a difference allowed him to cultivate Bonjour Café into what it is today.

Since opening Bonjour Café & Bistro, le Vettet has continued working daily to maintain a welcoming, warm and casual environment with quality food and professional service, and has extended the café’s menu to please his many regulars and new visitors.

Bonjour Café & Bistro’s unique menu currently features over 75 Traditional French and French American items. With some of his best sellers being crepes, quiches, French onion soup and French toast, le Vettet’s French-American twist sets Bonjour apart from other cafés and bistros and keeps customers coming back for more.

In addition to its extensive menu and delicious food, Bonjour Café & Bistro prides itself on being a traditional Parisian bistro—patronized by locals—offering a casual affordable place, with great service. Of his employees, many have worked at Bonjour for 10 to 15 years and know what customers want to order right when they walk in the door, giving the feeling Bonjour Café is a home away from home.
