“My favorite restaurant in ALL of Los Angeles. The owners used to be at Cafe Beaujolais in Eagle Rock and have taken all of their excellence with them to Enter Nous. If you want an exceptional restaurant experience, old school, like you find in places on the East Coast or in Europe this is it. Honored reservations, professional hosts and wait staff, and food consistently created with excellence and pride. I've tried a few different dishes - all fantastic- but their filet mignon is the best I've every had, and worth every penny. (Better steak than from the New York Grill in Tokyo and just as good as anything I've ever had at Peter Lugers). I also like that the tip is included in the bill. I've had nothing less than professional attentive service here and if I ever didn't I feel the owners are the type of restaurateurs who would go out of their way to make it right. Love this place!“
“First time in here - got a latte, a breakfast burrito and a baguette sandwich. Everything was fresh and delicious. Very spacious open floor with high ceilings; great place to grab a bite and work remotely. Shout out to the staff - every individual we spoke with was very warm and friendly. Will be back.“
“Went for high tea, and definitely had a wonderful time! Loved the decor and the peaceful ambience (we were there early on Sunday so we beat the crowd and were able to enjoy the harpist's performance to the fullest). Food was great; they had more savory items than sweets, which was a good difference than most high tea places. I only wished there were more scones.“
“STEPH JUDGEMENT: Charming atmosphere and good food, but slightly uneven service. We were staying at the hotel and decided to try it for breakfast. It had an adorable retro 1930s vibe going on, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered a coffee and their smoked salmon and latke (same as hash browns), and was pleasantly surprised by an unexpected poached egg. The hubby ordered two scrambled eggs and "cool ranch" hash browns (basically cool ranch dust). Everything was delicious, but after the server dropped off our food she was nowhere to be seen for a while, and it took some time to settle our bill. Luckily we weren't in a hurry, and I believe they had just opened, so I'm sure the service will improve as they get their bearings. I'd definitely like to try them again when next in the area.“
“The initial attraction to this restaurant was simple. A Michelin star, and there's a cheeseburger on the menu?!? Sign me up. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was modern, minimal, and comfortable. We were greeted with a delicious amuse bouche of creme fraiche and green onion with some sort of crunchy vessel holding it together. Then we moved onto the baguette, which, while delicious, I would probably pass on my next visit. Then came the onion tartine, which, in my opinion, was the highlight of the meal. Perfectly blistered gruyere cheese over caramelized onions and delicious fresh bread drizzled with a duck fat reduction tableside. Think of it as a perfectly executed inverted French onion soup. Then came the burger. Upon arrival, it was announced as a 50/50 blend of ribeye and duck, smoked gouda, and caramelized onions on an incredible brioche bun. I've had a lot of burgers, and none of them even came close to this one. Perfectly cooked, lovely char, and incredible flavor. We ordered the Madeira mushroom risotto as a side dish, and that was delicious as well. Every course was perfectly spaced out, and the wait staff never missed a beat. The overall experience was faultless, and I can't wait for another special occasion to return.“
“Came in with my partner and the interior was small and so it felt a bit tight, but the servers knew how to work around the space well! They were also super friendly without being overbearing and the food that we ordered was so good! I got the omurice and my partner got the hayashi dish. I preferred mine over his and their miso soup was paired really well with the omurice :)I would come back again to try their breakfast and bento mealsParking: There are paid parking lots around the area or if you’re lucky, street parking for 1-2 hoursWheelchair accessibility: I don’t think it would be easy for a wheelchair user to be able to dine inside due to the space but if they moved a few chairs around, it’s possible! They also have outdoor seating as well“
“They have moved to a new location. I loved the new location it's more spacious, the only thing I missed is the live tv they had in their previous location where you could see the chef preparing the food. The food was good as usual. Loved the garlic bread. As I am not drinking alcohol the bar tender was able to customize a drink for me, i really appreciate that. They have a nice list of cocktail and some amazing wines. Risotto was nice and creamy.“
“In search of a good french pastry place in the LA area so drove here to try it. Overall 3.5/5 Mixed Berry Tart 4.5/5 Strawberry Pistachio Croissant 4/5 Butter Croissant 4/5 Kouign Amann - 2/5 If you live in the area, definitely a good pastry store that's close to home.“
“It's been some years since I last dined at Shiro, and I was so delighted that it has fully maintained its superlative status as a first rate restaurant experience on every level. Shiro offers casually elegant dining in a handsome, intimate and stylish storefront in a historic district in South Pasadena. The French-Asian menu offers amazing creations and flavors that will entice and satisfy. My husband had an appetizer consisting of the plumpest, most tasty pan-fried oysters imaginable, as well as a wonderfully seasoned uni pasta. I had sea bass in a rich sauce over Japanese eggplant. The service is impeccable, from the initial greeting and seating to the server and helpers. It is friendly, caring and professional. We will certainly not wait years until our next visit.“
“Oriel is a modern wine bar/bistry that serves french food. The food is simple but tasty and the service is great. They have a pretty good sized wine list and a lot of food options as well. The atmosphere is great, with a cozy patio and interior. This is a lovely gem tucked in the quieter part of Chinatown and is a great spot to catch up with friends or for a date night. Tons of easy parking right in front of the restaurant and it’s located under the train line by the Chinatown metro station.“
“The nicest people and adorable little French Cafe! I mistakenly thought it was vegan/vegetarian from a Google search but despite having meat they had many options for me and were so lovely and accommodating in making recommendations. A wonderful accidental find after a beautiful Glendale hike. Highly recommend!“
“I'm always excited to try a French restaurant. My favorite soup is French onion soup, so of course I had to try it at Taix. It was perfection! The broth was rich and the onions were tender and wonderfully caramelized. And the melted cheese! So good! I had the creme brulee for dessert (one of my favorite desserts). Unfortunately the top was way too burnt, and the bitterness really over-powered the custard. That was disappointing. I had to avoid eating the blackened parts which was most of the top. If I go back, I hope they will accept a request to go easy on the brulee. The waitress was lovely! <3“
“Fantastic evening yesterday at Garçons de Café, downtown Los Angeles, for a special event with Chef of Cafe Leza. Whenever you come, you will find a curated selection of French wine (and wine from all around the world) and the owner, Mathieu, will help you to pair it with delicious cheese and charcuterie plates. No wonder it is called « your extension living-room ». I will come back!“
“House of Cocotte was a great experience! Plenty of 1-hour (non-metered) street parking was available on a Saturday around noon which was pleasantly surprising. The restaurant itself is quite charming on the inside, with colorful accents, soft couches, and a rustic atmosphere. The servers were very attentive and friendly. Sardines - very delicious canned sardines with buttered toasted baguette! It was my first time having olives that were not pickled and I loved them! They were refreshing in contrast to the savoriness of the sardines. We felt that the dish had adequate portions. Avocado toast - I was intrigued by the goat cheese on the avocado toast, but I would say, this was probably one of the dishes that were less flavorful. The toast itself was topped with arugula and a citrus-like dressing, but otherwise the avocado on top did not taste well-seasoned. Toast was nice and crunchy but I would opt for another dish unless you're a huge fan of avocado toast. Parisian sandwich - Good flavor, french fries were crispy and surpringly light and fluffy! I loved the tiny pickles both inside and outside of the sandwich. Parisian Croque Monsieur - The bechamel sauce is definitely the star of the dish as it was a primary flavor, but the sandwich itself was soft, gooey, and flavorful. The salad was a great complement to the dish as it provided a lighter touch with the heavier sandwich. Great overall experience! Seemed like a fun place to host a party in one part of the restaurant (with mimosas!)“

“Why didn't we take pictures of all of the delicious food? Idk, but probably because we were hungry and decided to drive in instead. Everything looked good, so we shared items instead of choosing only one. This is absolutely the way to go here, btw. Grab some friends and take them out. Chicken salad sandwich: very good! I had never thought to include sundried tomatoes in my chicken salad sandwiches, but now I'm never going to have one without! The sandwich comes with a side of chips or salad. We opted for salad. The dressing (a creamy balsamic) was very good. Veggie spinach crepe, with mushrooms added: excellent. This crepe was cheesy without being too cheesy, and the addition of the mushroom was fantastic. I'm not usually a big fan of cooked spinach, but it really worked here. Paris Special crepe: rich and creamy and delicious! Nice cheese distribution, moist chicken chunks, and lots of mushrooms. Too many olives for my personal preference, but it's not like they don't tell you there are olives in it. I did not count this against the crepe. It was otherwise wonderful. Chicken spinach crepe: like the Paris Special, good cheese distribution, delicious chicken, tasty mushrooms, and the spinach worked particularly well here. The sauce was fantastic. Royal crepe: nutella + chocolate + strawberries + banana. Is there anyway this isn't the best thing you've put in your mouth? This combination is always a winner, and it was a winner here, as well. YUM.You order at the counter, then take a seat. The staff will bring the food out to you when it's ready, and it doesn't take long. The shop is really cute - the stamped tin ceiling is darling, the dangling lights (at varying length) add charm, and there is a giant Costco teddy bear in the window. Idk why, but I also don't care if there is no reason for this at all - it's awesome and he's super cute. Prices were very reasonable. Service was quick. I would definitely return.“
“Walked by it for years and only recently tried it. So good. Had a special of white asparagus soup which was delicious. I had their strip which was well prepared. Our server was lovely and great at directing us. Lovely little. Spot. Reservations are strongly recommended.“
“Didn’t expect much other than some good crepes for brunch when besties suggested checking this cafe out for brunch, but boy … what a lovely surprise! This could be one of the best brasseries in LA. Easily one of the best baguettes & best bouillabaisse I’ve ever had in LA. The bouillabaisse is comparable to the good ones in Cassis! Of course, crêpes & French onion soups & baguette sandwiches were excellent too! Total hidden gem of LA!Service could be a bit on French mode at peak hours, so if you are in a rush, please mention it to staff or order ahead for takeout. I like quality slow food and wanted a chill brunch, so it was perfect. Street parking only.“
“Worth a visit, especially if you’re staying at the Biltmore bc this is literally right outside their doors essentially. I got a breakfast sandwich and iced latte. Total was about $25 so definitely not a cheap place, but pretty good. I loved the rustic interior. They have a wine bar too so overall it just felt like a good spot to chill. Also, I asked for a straw and was told they don’t have them, so just keep that in mind!“
“Super friendly and accommodating staff. Even on a busy night, everything was served in a timely manner. I can say that my salmon with forbidden rice and ratatouille was superb, uber-fresh with a light crust on the salmon, Absolutely delicious. Two friends that ordered burgers said they were pretty good, no raves. The flank steaks and fries were enjoyed by a couple others. All in all, an inviting, positive experience. Will certainly try their other locations in West Hollywood and Century City. Thanks, Zinque, well done!“
“This place is just beautiful inside. The decor is elegant & plush. Esthetically done well! They have wine & soju cocktails. The food was great! Nice selection of apps. We enjoyed our meal. They had a band play which was kind of nice & unexpected. A good find in Glendale.“
“This classic French restaurant exudes timeless charm with its rustic ambiance. The consistency in having the same chef for 23 years reflects a dedication to culinary excellence. Each dish is a masterful blend of traditional flavors, almost like a time traveling journey to the authentic French cuisine of the 70s and 80s. Impeccable service and a warm atmosphere complete the experience, making it a must-visit for those seeking a taste of culinary tradition.“
“I have ordered here a number of times, generally taking the time to sit down and eat on the patio with either a book or some work. It is a large, gorgeous patio, surrounded by beautiful, greenery, and shades, that they roll up or down depending on the time of the day. You can never go wrong with a ham and cheese sandwich, but I'm also a major fan of the roast beef. My friend loved the meatloaf, and when I took my mother, she was a big fan of the vegetable quiche she had ordered. I also once tried their chicken wings, which were way too delicious and they are introducing pizza but so far nothing I've ordered or had from here has been bad, so I'll definitely check it out.Parking: Small parking lot directly out back but plenty of street parking down the street next to it as well.Wheelchair accessibility: Front door is easily accessible, as well as the patio has a ramp and restrooms are beautifully large.“
“I love this place. I have been ordering food here for years. Everything that I have tried from their menu is delicious. The staff has always been friendly. The only thing that frustrates me are the hours. I can never seem to catch when it is open anymore. Also wish they would take orders to go again.“
“The pièce de résistance at Cafe Stella is undeniably the food. Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef's dedication to traditional French cuisine. The Coq au Vin was a melt-in-your-mouth delight, and the Crème Brûlée dessert was a heavenly finale to our meal.“
“Great atmosphere, definitely a nice date place. The service was great and friendly. I didn’t have a reservation but they were able to give me a seat at the bar. I ordered the onion soup and beef tartare. Supposedly onion soup is their signature dish, but it was really salty, I was a bit disappointed…. Because it was a $20 bowl of soup. The beef tartare was excellent, it would be nice if they offer one extra slice of bread and some more salad leaves. I was happy that they have half bottle of wine that I can order. Wine list is quite nice.“
