In September Eater LA last updated Angelenos about Le Saint Amour, a new French restaurant that will debut in downtown Culver City. On Tuesday, Bruno Herve Commereuc advanced the story, revealing that he and wife Florence plan to open their Parisian bistro in late February. He and his wife decided to locate in Culver City because “it is a lively city that has been changing a lot these past years.” Downtown Culver City in particular has seen a renaissance in recent years with restaurants like Honey’s Kettle Fried Chicken (2005) and AKASHA (2008) and joining the local culinary scene.

The Commereucs owned Angelique Café in downtown’s Fashion District from 1996 to 2006, but found that location limited in many ways. “Angelique was a lunch time spot, with no wine and beer,” said Bruno. “Le Saint Amour will be open at night too and you’ll be able to have a glass of wine. Food will be more diversified.” The Parisian Brasserie menu will include traditional French dandelion salad with gizzards confit, warm lentils with Lyonnais sausage, homemade duck foie gras terrine, leg of lamb with white beans, a duo of white and black puddings, mussels Marinieres and baba au rhum.
