Two of West Hollywood’s long-run, Gallic favorites are gone. Mimosa, owned by Jean-Pierre Bosc had been around for a long time and is rumored to be the new home to the ultra-small (8 tables) South-Pasadena restaurant Bistro L Q by Laurent Quenioux. Pastis, not far down the road on Beverly Boulevard, along with an adjacent storefront, has been purchased by Bruce Marder (he conceived Westbeach Cafe, Rebecca’s and other Westside restaurants) and group and will be called House Cafe, a smaller part of the premises will be a cafe/bakery while the larger remaining section serve as the restaurant, which do not forget, has a wholesale off-sale liquor license that will most likely be put to good use by partner Steve Wallis, who just happens to own L.A.’s number one wine and liquor store Wally’s in West Los Angeles.
