RÊVE

Executive chef Paul Magu-Lecugy worked at Michelin-starred restaurants and five-star hotels, but what he really dreamed of was a French bistro to call his own. As of 2016, he’s made that dream come true with the help of his wife and co-owner, Laura Magu. Rêve describes itself as “a little Paris in the hood” and takes the Paris part very seriously with a menu that includes classic French fare, like Steak Frites, house-made Pâté, Gourgères, Escargots… everything your heart desires. At least in terms of a French bistro in the East Bay.
