Black Sheep Bistro
The most European of restaurants I've visited in a long time is this 15-year-old spot in Tustin. The setting is simple, but the attitude toward unrushed food is a refreshing change.

Our goal at
The Black Sheep is to share with you the wonderful experiences
Diana (my wife) and I have been able to enjoy ourselves through our travels abroad,
and especially those along the Mediterranean Coasts of;


Spain


France


Italy

Our cuisine is what I would call "European Farmhouse."  The farmhouses in France, Spain and Italy tend to be pretty elaborate Chateau's or large estates. Beginning in 1982 my wife and I began bicycling all through Europe. We'd go back about ever other year and did this until about 1995. Our menu is based on our adventures and reflects this hardier and more robust style. In some cases the chateau has a celebrated Chef, but most tend to have one of the "peasants" that has been well trained to prepare the specialty dishes of the region. Hence the term "Peasant Cuisine."

! Attention !
I'm still in the  process of switching from PC to Mac.  I've also added a personal web site at
www.blacksheepsurfing.com where I'm moving all non restaurant oriented matters. This means possible broken links, confusion and who knows what all that can go wrong. It'll be worth it. Thank You!
