{"product_id":"chez-yvonne-mountain-view-1950s","title":"Chez Yvonne, Mountain View 1950s","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen French restaurateur Andre Frelier and his wife Yvonne opened L’Omelette bistro in 1932, it quickly became a favorite spot for Stanford University students because of its cozy lounge, open fireplace, reasonably priced drinks and rarely checked IDs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter their marriage ended, Yvonne opened her own restaurant – Chez Yvonne – in nearby Mountain View, California, along with her son Roger. It had a similar ambience but was even more laid-back – IDs were checked less frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth restaurants were popular, and both served superb French food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Chez Yvonne menu is decorated with lovely illustrations of a beret-wearing French poodle, quaffing wine and serving food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you look closely at the menu cover, which is from the 1950s, you can see charming touches such as the birds singing in the trees ( French chansons, of course) and a little mouse running up the street.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChez Yvonne was in operation from 1949 to 1980 when it was demolished to make way for the Mountain View Residence Inn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYvonne, who has been described as a ‘fiery French Moroccan,’ apparently kept a cheetah as a pet in her retirement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Frelier family obviously had a talent for cooking because another relative Roger Pierre was personal chef to stars such as Dean Martin, Tina Turner and Johnny Cash.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCourtesy Private Collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGallery quality Giclée print on natural white, matte, 100% cotton rag, acid and lignin free archival paper using Epson K3 archival inks.
