Moules frites show off the kitchens perfect timing: The fries are fresh out of the fryer. Along with the mussels, their broth dosed with cream and a dash of Pernod, this could make a delicious dinner for just $16. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)
Cheese soup with toasted slices of baguette from Boule, the bakery the chef operates around the corner. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)

This must be the best bouillabaisse in L.A., deeply flavored and full of seafood, lifted by a vibrant rouille. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)
Luscious beef bone marrow comes ready for scooping, with a side of shredded, long-cooked oxtail jam. (Wally Skalij / Los Angeles Times)
Start the evening with a rich tarte flambée, which sets smoky bacon against sweet caramelized onions. Myers may be known for cutting-edge cuisine at his other restaurant, Sona, but hes turning out some of the most authentic and delicious French food in the city at Comme Ça.
