Best French Restaurants in Elysian Valley

I had an outstanding time dining here. A special thanks to JR for his thoughtful suggestions that will surely enhance the experience even further. I’m already looking forward to my next visit and can’t wait to explore Mrs. Fish!

I enjoyed my experience here very much. I would say it’s the best French food I’ve had in the US. I started out with the onion soup. I’m not a fan of it in general, but I enjoyed it very much. Their Gruyère was soft, creamy, and salty. I even asked where they get it, it was so good. I haven’t found a Gruyère here in the US that I like. The broth was flavorful but not too salty. It had a beautiful presentation with melted cheese over the cup. I had the black truffle pasta with chicken made in a Parmesan wheel where it’s flambéed with cognac. The presentation was artistic and the taste was flavorful—very umami,fulfilling, and earthy. For dessert, I went with crepes. It covered a standard dinner plate folded into a square. It was light, fluffy but not overly eggy. It melted in my mouth and was smooth and delicate. It had hand whipped cream and Nutella with hazelnut pieces. It was the best crepe I have eaten. I would say they can improve on the cocktails. We tried a few and didn’t really like any. Overall, it has a very hip, relaxed vibe. It’s a garden spot in the middle of LA—very quiet and enjoyable. The service is as attentive and pleasant. This is a phenomenal place to eat and savor life.

Beautiful restaurant with an amazing service and great vibe. Definitely gonna visit again .

Our table host was London, she was amazing. Variety of entertainment was great! Food was great, so were the drinks.

It’s always a great experience. The menu is small, but everything is delicious. The owners are nice, and the work they put into the patio is simply amazing. It is so beautiful, and the vibe and music are fantastic.
