VegNews Magazine - March/April 2006: "VegReview: Madeleine Bistro"
"At Madeleine's helm are David and Molly Anderson, former executive chef and general manager, respectively, at Real Food Daily, another first-rate, though casual Los Angeles vegan restaurant. Driving off the Real Food reservation, however, the Andersons have made a culinary left-turn towards a star-speckled, high desert of
creativity and elegance. Where else could one find an appetizer described as a “Study in Corn”? This edible work of art consists of four amuse-bouches made entirely of, you guessed it, corn: Corn Cappuccino, Corn Foam, Corn French Fries and Corn Ice Cream. The particularly enjoyable cappuccino went down like smooth, buttery chowder.
The French fries, made of polenta, were entirely palate-pleasing with the exact crunchy, salty goodness of your perfect crinkly fry..."

Yogi Times - February 2006: "Food for Love"
"Frankly, Madeleine is at the top of its class in not just organic vegan food, but in food, period. Here, veganism holds the same broad scope possibilities in taste adventuring that other cuisines do - and all this while hurting no living creature in its making. Talk about love..."

Whole Life Times - December 2005: "La Dolce Vegan"
"At first glance, chef Dave Anderson, innovator behind some of the country’s most cutting-edge vegan cuisine, seems an unlikely visionary. In a profession—and a city— notorious for drama and egotism, he’s warm, modest and disarmingly sincere. And though his flagship restaurant, Madeleine Bistro, has done brisk business since its quiet opening last spring—with weekends strictly reservations-only and a steady stream of celebrity clientele (most recently, to Anderson’s unfettered delight, Sir Paul McCartney)—its Tarzana location has allowed it to retain at least the feeling of being largely undiscovered..."

Valley Magazine - November 2005: "Dining Haute and Heavy"
"Madeleine Bistro is well conceived from first course to last. For vegans and vegetarians, as well as those with dietary restrictions, this restaurant is a dream come true. But it also works for diners who just want to try something different that's good for you..."

Los Angeles Times - October 12, 2005: "The Festive Side of Fresh"
"There's always something fun to order at Madeleine Bistro, something that brings a sense of occasion to the table: beignets and mimosas at brunch, shiitake mushroom sushi and organic ale at dinner, cannolis and a glass of Bonnie Doon Framboise for dessert..."

Vegetarians in Paradise - July 2005: "Dining in Paradise: Madeleine Bistro"
"Vegetarian Los Angeles has at last come of age! While we can boast of many veg eateries throughout the county, none have offered upscale, sophisticated French style vegan cuisine with elegant presentations that rival those of noted chefs like Joachim Splichal, Mark Peel, or Michel Richard. That is, until now..."
