Knife Pleat
Costa Mesa
长久以来，法式料理一直与精准和克制紧密相
连。在 Knife Pleat，主厨 Tony Esnault 与餐厅经
营者 Yassmin Sarmadi 将这些传统与真挚的待
客之道相结合，打造出一种既亲切温暖，又精致
考究的用餐体验。
Tony Esnault 主厨的料理根植于法国南部。童
年时期，他在家庭、时令食材与对用心烹饪的早
期感知中成长，而这份影响至今仍是每一份菜单
的核心。他并不为了复杂而追求复杂，而是让加
州出色的农产品自然塑造每一道菜，以更轻盈、
更当代的视角诠释经典法式技法。最终呈现出的
风格优雅，却从不显得刻意正式，也正因如此，餐
厅赢得了米其林星级荣誉，并在南加州拥有一群
忠实追随者。

French cuisine has long been synonymous 
with precision and restraint. At Knife Pleat, 
Chef Tony Esnault and restaurateur Yassmin 
Sarmadi pair those traditions with genuine 
warmth, creating an experience that feels 
as welcoming as it is refined
Chef Tony Esnault’s cooking is rooted in 
the south of France, where he spent his 
childhood surrounded by family, seasonal 
ingredients, and an early appreciation for 
thoughtful cooking. That influence remains 
at the heart of every menu. Rather than 
relying on complexity for complexity’s 
sake, Esnault lets California’s exceptional 
produce shape each dish, bringing a lighter, 
more contemporary perspective to classic 
French technique. The result is elegant 
without ever feeling formal, a style that has 
earned the restaurant its Michelin star and 
a devoted following throughout Southern 
California.
