The original Sherman Oaks location of Café Bizou was such a hit from the day it opened that expansion was just a matter of time. The Old Pasadena branch is a bit more stylish than the original, and its muted booths and banquettes, worn brick or buttercup walls and French beverage posters provide a pleasant backdrop for chef-owner Neil Rogers' modern French cooking. Ample proportioned starters like lobster and salmon ravioli in lobster sauce, duck salad and sweetbreads in balsamic reduction precede reliable favorites such as sesame-coated salmon on potato pancakes in red wine sauce, and steak au poivre in brandy cream sauce. And for a buck, a salad or soup can be added to the entrée. The wine list is short, but wine buffs love the rock-bottom $2 corkage fee. Also located at 14016 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks, 818-788-3536.
