Zazou, Redondo Beach, California

Zazou is a cozy contemporary restaurant in Redondo Beach just south of LAX.


Presentation:
Served in a low round bowl-like ramekin atop a dinner plate. No garnish.

Crust:
Medium thickness. Very hard. Classic flavor.

Custard:
Soft, low density custard. Consistent through out as far as density goes, but the temperature varied widely between cool and warm (presumably from where the crust was torched longer). Classic vanilla flavor, but not real strong at all.

Overall Impression:
Classic creme brulee, but the crust's hardness made it a bit less enjoyable. The subdued flavor is actually quite pleasant, although not particular memorable.

Rating:
2/5
