When award-winning Chef Rosie O’Connor closed her beloved Provecho Grill after 12 successful years, fans wondered what would come next. 🎨
The answer arrived on March 6, 2024, when Lady R Bistro (originally named Madame R Bistro) opened its doors in Menifee, bringing Chef Rosie’s signature fusion flavors to an elevated new space.
This eclectic American bistro features housemade pasta, craft burgers, and South of the border favorites alongside live music, craft cocktails, and an atmosphere so vibrant it’s become an instant community gathering spot.
How Lady R Bistro won Perris hearts
Lady R Bistro’s success story begins long before its 2024 opening, rooted in Chef Rosie’s decade-plus of building trust at Provecho Grill.

When she announced a new concept, loyal fans from her previous restaurant followed her immediately, eager to experience her creative fusion of Mexican, French, and American cuisines in a fresh setting.
The personal touch Chef Rosie brings cannot be overstated—she’s hands-on in every aspect of the restaurant, often greeting guests personally and ensuring each dish meets her exacting standards.
Opening as Kitchen Studio before evolving into Lady R Bistro, the restaurant became an instant success thanks to its unique positioning as a full-service dining destination with entertainment.
The addition of live music on Friday nights, karaoke events, and comedy shows transformed the space into more than just a restaurant—it became a golden light in the community offering a fun, safe place for memorable experiences.
The housemade pappardelle pasta in the Pasta Fioro dish quickly earned legendary status among regulars.
Customers repeatedly describe it as probably the best pasta we have ever had, praising the fresh, elevated quality and amazing flavor profiles that demonstrate Chef Rosie’s culinary expertise.
