Le Sanglier Restaurant Review:


Hidden for over 40 years in the sleepy heart of the San Fernando Valley, Le Sanglier is a delightful remnant from an era when French cuisine was strictly for special occasions. The intimate, candle-laden dining room offers high-backed booths for privacy, and tables are dressed in crisp white linen with fresh flowers. Rustic wood beams and mounted ceramic plates give the place the distinct aura of a country French inn. The food is solid traditional fare: starters like escargots Bourgogne, and endive with Roquefort and walnuts. Mains run the gamut of sautéed Dover sole, wild venison chops with a bordelaise berry sauce, and rack of lamb with garlic and parsley. Worth saving room for are such desserts as tarte Tatin, soufflés and crêpes Suzette. The three-course prix-fixe offerings tend to mitigate the relatively high prices. Besides cocktails, expect a mostly French wine list.
