Fresh, Elegant, and Worth the Eight Mile Drive
Carmichael may not be known as Sacramento's center for haute cuisine but there are several restuarants in the area which are worthy of note. "La Perla" Bistro (the name means 'the pearl') is one of those and is well worth the drive.
As you may know, my husband and I are unable to get out for dinner--for lack of a little thing called "kindercare." We substitute going out for lunch. This time we wound up in Carmichael. When we entered the restuarant, we were quickly greeted and seated by one of the partial owners--the friendly Evan Selby.
