Pasadena's first neo-bistro, where culinary artistry meets unexpected innovation

Bar Chelou, Pasadena’s first neo-bistro, created by Douglas Rankin, draws inspiration from Paris’ avant-garde bistronomie movement. Our menu blends classic techniques with unexpected flavors, offering a unique dining experience. With dishes designed for sharing, a rotating selection of natural wines, and a stunning space designed by Lovers Unite, Bar Chelou invites you to explore where the familiar meets the unexpected.
