Read the full review

Michel Richard, one of the pioneers in revolutionizing French-California cuisine, started his career making pastries in his native France. After emigrating to the U.S. in 1974, he moved around for a while, from Santa Fe to Los Angeles, eventually putting down roots in Washington, D.C. His ingenious modern French cooking assures Citronelle’s position as a culinary mecca.
