French Restaurants near Playa Vista, CA

“Advertised as a not so secret speakeasy, Joliet offers accessibility and cool vibes. They have a nice cocktail menu and have fast, friendly service. We visited on a Saturday evening and the space was just about full. The demographic appears to be a mix of Playa Vista residents and LMU students.“

“The stunning interior decor really transports you straight to Paris with its elegant and chic design. The food is absolutely delicious, with every dish bursting with a creative twist! The fact that they are able to achieve gastronomy to a vegetarian/vegan level is quite impressive. I don't eat sea urchin, but they were able to adapt their "Perigord Truffle Chawanmushi, Uni & Trout Roe" dish and make it with mushrooms instead. Probably one of my favourite dishes on the menu! They also have an excellent selection of wine. Oh and this is the perfect spot for a super romantic evening, but totally see this as a spot where you can celebrate your birthday with a group of friends. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience a little slice of heaven! Dress chic!!“

“Great place! Love it nice place for a date“

“Amazing in all aspects! The best!“

“It's one of my favorite neighborhood choices. The menu, the staff, the management -- all top class in service. Don't be surprised if the executive chef, Michael, shows up at your table to say hello and check in on your experience personally. It's a local favorite and a treasure....so whether you live in WeHo or are visiting.....it's a MUST! Whatever you order for your main entree, I insist you order a cup of your favorite soup!“

“Took the love of my life here, and she loved it. Photos are scallops and chicken breast with lentils/squash puree. Pricey but she's worth it. They do need shades on their windows tho.Parking: Parking is a turn into the building where valet greets you“

“Great place in the neighborhood. Very welcoming. Food was delicious.“

“This place is AMAZING! It’s completely unassuming from the exterior; but the food and the service was way beyond my expectations! I truly wish there was a French restaurant like this in San Diego; I’d eat there at least once a week!!!“

“I go to this place a lot and it NEVER misses. The food is incredible and I can’t find a word to describe how kind the staff is. I once saw the owner bring a local homeless woman food and call her by her first name. Absolutely incredible people.“

“I recently visited Le Petit Four and I must say, it's one of the best French restaurants I've experienced in Los Angeles. The owner was incredibly welcoming and friendly, adding a personal touch to our dining experience. We started with the snails, which were superb, followed by a Quiche Lorraine and Salade Niçoise for the entrées. Each dish was simply incredible, perfectly capturing the essence of French cuisine. The ambiance of the restaurant enhances the authentic French vibe, making it a must-visit for anyone in search of genuine French dining. I absolutely recommend Le Petit Four if you're looking for a top-notch French restaurant experience.“

“The little door has been and continues to be a Los Angeles hot spot and institution .. Greeting and service were amazing, food options stimulate our palate with different spices and traditional marroccan couscous options.. Great for vegetarians as well.. It is like traveling for an evening somewhere outside of the US.. Thank you“

“GOOD VIBES, WELL PRICED, & DELICIOUS!The owner really cares about the customer's experience. This place is perfect for dining in and taking out. The atmosphere of the restaurant is intentional and charming. Orders come out quickly and with care. The French fold is convenient to eat and tasty. I will definitely come back!“

“My husband and I had a great experience at Bonaparte Bistro! It's a lovely restaurant with a nice ambience. We had the trout and branzino dishes. Both were delicious and we also enjoyed the potatoes, Brussel sprouts and sautéed spinach as the side dishes. Brooke, our server, was very friendly, knowledgeable about the food, and provided great customer service! We enjoyed ourselves and will be back soon!“

“The Bianca restaurant in Culver City is a collaboration between Gianni and Nicola Vietina of Madeo Ristorante and former Four Seasons Hotel executive pastry chef Federico Fernandez.Even if you don’t have a meal, their bread and pizza are delicious?Fruit Danish~yum!You can see the boss kneading the dough and it feels very warm Organic bread and pastries are made fresh daily~“

“Ambience was out of the park between the decor and views. Our server was so sweet. She heard it was my son's birthday and gave us a slice of cake to go since she knew we needed to head out. Downstairs they also gave him a little teddy bear. They have service at the forefront here. And of course, the most important part - food was on point. The crispy rice spicy tuna special was our fave. Fries were too notch. Cocktails also top notch. I was surprised it wasn't busier here - everything was 10/10. Pricey though! ?“

“I did not have a reservation and the restaurant was really crowded on a Friday night. Yet they gave me space at the bar to enjoy the night as a solo traveller. Had a rose (brut) and some fantastic duck pasta. So so so delicious dinner and you cannot miss the panna cotta, Absolutely loved it as it wanted speed .Enjoyed the music and accompanying wine.Friendly bartenders, waiters and managers. Constantly checking on you making the environment so buzz.“

“The birthday brunch for my friend was just OUTSTANDING. Our Server, LYLE was superb the moment he came to our table. He knew immediately it was my friend's Birthday and couldn't have been more charming. He was also , friendly, efficient, knowledgeable about the menu and attentive throughout our meal. I will definitely will request him again when I go back. The Bus Servers were FABULOUS too. He made our dining experience Xtra special. The food was just SCRUMPTIOUS!! I may be back for my birthday next month.“

“I love this place. It's charming, it's delicious and a spot for locals to sit outside and enjoy a cup of coffee. Parking is hard to find to be honest, at all times of day. I believe it's the locals who live close by that walk here that frequent Figaro. We were lucky enough to find parking on a Tuesday morning most recently. We ordered pasta, a hot chocolate and a coffee. My favorite time of day to eat here is evening. The inside of the bistro is gorgeous, and makes me feel like I'm in Paris. It's old and full of charm. The service is great, and we receive our orders fairly fast. Definitely check this place out, but Uber if you can.“

“Sometime we gotta treat ourselves to something out of this world and Petrossian Restaurant & Boutique delivered . Well, I can't say it was out of this world per se, but de deserve to treat ourselves, we often forget with how busy our lives keep us that we need to be reminded that we deserve amazing food and experiences and I am glad that this place exists on this planet to change up the life of my palate. One thing that caught my eye when I was dining here was the Niçoise salad. I had seen one before on a menu but I haven't seen the word since this place brought it back to my attention. I could not deny that the dish was calling my name. I remember seeing some elegant ladies order the dish with their glass of white wine and thought, why not me? I deserve to also show that I know what's good in life and I deserve to have a Niçoise salad. It hit the spot! Totally delicious! I will admit I am particularly familiar with all the words that were on the menu so not only did I get to enjoy a fabulous meal, but I also got to expand my vocabulary. Confit: food that is slowly cooked over a long period of time, thus preserved, providing a healthy and tasty option that is also delicious! They also had haricots verts in the salad! This was truly an amazing experience! I hope to visit sometime and when I do, come back to this place and taste something new on the next visit. I can't forget to mention that the place is very nicely designed. One can't help but take in all the that the place has to show! Kudos to whoever designed this amazing restaurant! Whoever runs this place certainly knows what they are doing!“

“nice people, nice baked goods, good coffee, what else? just go see by yourself you'll like it:)“

“Are you in the mood for some fine dining and live music? Well I have a great suggestion for you. ADKT - stands for art, drinks, kitchen, and tunes. The space has a 1920s Parisian vibe and it’s so chic.Our whole dining experience was accentuated by original handcrafted cocktails, unique French Japanese inspired dishes, and exceptional hospitality. I mean where else can you get table side old fashions made, lemon juice sprayed on your seaboard and listen to live music. We had so much fun! its the perfect place for a date night or for larger parties. This place is such a hit!“

“The ambience could be SO MUCH BETTER if they would turn off a massive TV (untuned into a game show, and on mute), that NO ONE was watching. Otherwise it could be cute French bistro-like. Food is pretty good (depending on what you order), waitress was attentive but not overly. Though wearing a large furry coat and their long hair down while working (odd). Beef dish and green beens were good. Burger, asparagus and onion soup were excellent! Skip the risotto and the tapenade w bread. Love that took our last min reservation!“

“Caviar Kaspia exceeded my expectation. The food was phenomenal. Every bite was so meticulously prepared and beautifully displayed. Not to mention the top notch service. This restaurant deserves all the stars. Special thanks to Jake and our server Jesse for an unforgettable evening.“

“Amazing staff. Gigi, Tom, Kian. What positive energy and professional service. Food is delicious. Perfect West Side afternoon.“

“This is a wine lovers heaven. The largest wine selection I’ve ever seen in a restaurant. The menu is perfectly designed to be complimented with your favorite wine. They also have a very large bar area, which include a vast selection of other great alcoholic beverages. This restaurant offers a cheese section, uniquely selected for purchase along with other products. The food is so tasteful and has beautiful presentation. My only complaint is the stools not being comfortable. This casual ambiance is a perfect place for lunch or dinner. You definitely must put Wally’s on your list next time you visit Beverly Hills.“

“Meet in Paris is one of our “go-to” restaurants for special occasions, like birthdays, friends in town, and anniversaries! Last night was our 37th anniversary and we were so happy that there was music! Apparently every Thursday there is live music! A great evening with great food and ambiance ?“

“The chef's restaurant is upscale but cozy, with only 5 tables, all across from the open air kitchen. The chef and waiter collaborate to serve you each dish, telling you the ingredients that go into each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience!“

“The beef carpaccio is a miracle of a dish. I hope they never remove it from the menu because I would order this daily if I could. The orange wine was ok, chilled red was good. Halibut was ok. Very small intimate setting.But...the beef carpaccio makes this 5 stars.“

“A wonderful way to have a little more French food and vibe in your day. The food, particularly their breakfasts are terrific. I have also ordered several birthday cakes there over the years.. Also recommend. The environment is a little meh. Tables are very close together. But the service is very good. Go! Enjoy!“

“I went to celebrate my birthday dinner with a party of 7 and had such a lovely experience. Cannot thank Richard enough for taking care of us and being so sweet! I don’t drink alcohol and he brought out a non alcoholic Prosecco so that I could cheers with my friends Everyone greatly enjoyed the food and the ambiance was perfect.Please bring back the chickpea fries!! We miss them“

“Enjoyed the baguette with butter, Anchovy Cesar salad, the Yellow Tail Special with Capers and lemon sauce as well as the Escargot. Everything was absolutely delicious. the service was outstanding and the atmosphere was so quaint and homey. I really enjoyed my experience. Will definitely be returning and recommending.“

“This was a very good experience for my partner na do. We are not French food experts but I will say the food was quite authentic and would recommend their fish dishes the most. I had salmon over cream sauce, accompanied by squash with tomatoes and snow peas. Everything was fresh and delicious. The atmosphere is great and service was among the kindest I can recall. I will recommend this place to friends and family. Any comments on parking are beyond the control of this restaurant. It’s in busy location but you know that going in. The onion soup was also very good but one serving was easy shared with two people.“

“Lovely vibe and worth checking out. Truffle Brussels and fried olives were highlights. The burger with cheese and the steak frites were good but not exceptional. The sundae was fun and tasty. Cocktail menu is comprised of fun riffs on classics.“

“We came in with a large group of 8 without any reservations on a weekend, and they were able to accommodate us right away (although i do recommend making a reservation when possible). The food is great! I love their omelette's and french toast! Will be back again!“

“It was my first time there last night& WOW WHY DID I TAKE SO LONG TO TRY THIS PLACE?! Walking into the restaurant was like a dream, the decor is so pretty and the way the restaurant was arranged is so nice. We sat at the bar& i love how everyone there was so friendly and personal with introducing themselves and making it such a great time. The food was immaculate. I havent eaten at a restaurant where every single dish made me want to savor every bite. 1000/10. Worth every penny.“

“Always excellent food! Try their meals to go during social distancing“

“Best pastries I've ever had! I tried (and LOVED) the savory mushroom truffle pastry and cinnamon sugar croissant at Mar Vista Farmer's Market. I'm SO glad I did. Macha is a sweetheart and truly puts love in her delectable treats. I can't wait to revisit and try everything!“

“Fabulous. Love the French Onion souop“

“Excellente cuisine et personnel sympathique!“

“Best kosher bakery!!! Variety of cakes, tarts, best sourdough and multigrain bread! They have gluten free items per request and always happy to accommodate!“

“We had a really nice time here. Their food is delicious and the cocktails are also really good. The steak was cooked perfectly The setting felt intimate and there was live music which was really good and not overbearingly loud. If you like French onion soup, it's a must try here. Definitely not on the cheaper side but worth it.“

“Excellent communication with restaurant via Open Table Excellent service !! Excellent wines and food Wish there were traditional dining tables and traditional chairs with backs so in order to settle in for a more comfortable dining experience.“

“Took my girlfriend here for a Valentine's dinner - incredible & unique menu, really cool ambiance in terms of watching the food be made, and great experience talking to the chef and the service staff. I'd say it's a bit pricey and the corkage fee was INSANE ($75 + a 20% gratuity on top of that), but for such a unique experience i'd still recommend. I'd recommend doing the research on this restaurant and understanding its appeal as the price point won't make it a great pick for everyone.“

“BEST CREPES IN LOS ANGELES!!! Jonathan and Sucely catered our event and I couldn't be more happy with their services! They are true and kind professionals!! Their crepes are delicious and you should definitely stop by or book them if you can!“

“I've been to Harlowe a few times but only when it's a bar and have always enjoyed the vibe there. This time, a friend and I decided to go for dinner. We heard there was a new chef and the menu had changed so we decided to give it a try and we're so happy we did! We started off with the hummus board, which was amazing and chef Alex told us he makes the hummus from scratch. For the main dish, I ordered the burger which was perfectly sized especially for a multi course meal. Lastly, Alex recommended the gelato for dessert. There are three different flavors, and each has their own distinct taste and texture, and are delicious! Highly recommend the "We Are All Mad Here" cocktail to sip on while enjoying Chef Alex's food. Come check it out!“
