Bar Chelou is a neo-bistro that is both a distillation of Chef Doug Rankin's broad gastronomic interests and a deeply personal expression of his individualistic style. 'Chelou' (French slang for ‘strange’ or ‘unexpected’) is both the name and unifying theme of the restaurant, which draws from a range of culinary traditions and service styles to create something personal, novel, and fun. The restaurant is located within the Pasadena Playhouse complex. If you plan to visit the Playhouse after dinner, please book a 5:30p reservation to ensure ample timing for your dinner. We also offer concession cocktails before a showing and during intermission. NEED TO KNOWWine corkage is $30 per 750ml bottle with no limit; we do not offer corkage for wines featured on our wine list.

Enjoyed our Thanksgiving meal at FOGO! While the food is always great, we were concerned that it might be too crazy, but the staff was extra attentive & the gauchos came so fast we couldn’t keep up. As frequent diners at FOGO, we were all very impressed. Thanks for a wonderful Thanksgiving experience ❤️
