What can I say about the food, service, and ambience of Le Petit Paris restaurant in downtown Los Angeles? Actually I can tell you very little which is not the fault of the restaurant. I was wandering on Spring Street one evening in downtown LA (and you might be wondering why I was downtown on Spring Street at night) waiting for an event to begin on Main Street, when I came across an interesting mural. The mural drew me to a beautiful foyer like the Sirens beckoning me inside. However, instead of crashing my boat upon the rocks I ventured through the looking glass doors into a little bit of Paris France, right here in the heart of downtown LA. Since I was going to have dinner I wandered through this extremely beautiful restaurant and had a seat at the bar ordering a cocktail. I had not been in Paris for some time and like the Mon Ami Gabi restaurant in Chicago I visited last year, Le Petit Paris hits all the right notes transporting me back to the wonderful time I enjoyed during my 3 previous journeys to Paris. This review is for the atmosphere, ambience and cocktail service but I will definitely return for dinner. A bientôt.
Fancy!!!! No problem with parking even it's in LA downtown, lots of paid parking lots or valet parking. The place can be for couples or group, or family. Kinda pricey but it's worth the experience and the food. Customer service, excellent! Our group ordered a lot, but ALL are epic!!! My fave among the food that was served was the lobster tail pasta. Now for the dessert, i say it's the lemon tart! I will definitely come back.
A really good place to get dinner! Very romantic, especially when they play live music. Noise level wasn't too bad but it did get crowded around peak dinner time. Food: everything was delicious! Escargot, baguette, grilled octopus, filet mignon The oysters were also decent Server was very attentive and the bus people were on top of it!
Absolutely recommend this place! I'm not French , but I'm from Spain and I can promise you this is some of the best food you've had in LA. Real French food. The Cheff Nigel really puts is heart and soul in echa dish. You can tell the head Cheff is making sure everything is coming out perfect. I've ad the pleasure to speak to the manager Renique. Wish every restaurant ad such great staff. Little of Europe in LA ! Big W
A beautiful venue located in a lobby of a historical building in downtown LA. The restaurant is very classy and has several seating options. We ordered few appetizers. Their Crispy calamari was fresh and soft. We also ordered their truffle brie and it was one my favorite. It was served on a fresh baked toast. The french onion soup also is a must to order in this restaurant. Their cheeseburgers were ok. I do think their main entrees are better than appetizers. The food came out a little slow but our server was nice and attentive. Will definitely come here again
Was in downtown for a show and craving for escargot and baguette, drove by this place so we decided to check it out. My kid ordered a dessert pizza and I got my espresso martini and escargot w/ baguette, they all hitted the spots and was great. It was not busy since it on a Sunday late afternoon and walking in from the street just takes you out of downtown LA and into French "setting stage like"of a hotel lobby. The vibe is chilling w/ French lounge music and our waitress was supper nice, fast and knowledgeable of the foods & drinks which I greatly appreciated.
Street or lot parking , not cheap & not pleasurable. Beautiful entryway , lights, vibes, layout, architecture & feelz. Sat at the bar Fri night : not busy Average prices Artisanal handcrafted cocktails Generous menu to please everyone Oysters: not mind blowing but yummy Kale salad too dressy Octopus was the bomb, I think about it to this day, not charred, not raw, so meaty & perfectly seafoody flavorful. Steak; uneventful Fries: thin & crispy Yes will return & recommend Super hospitable staff Clean bathroom
I went to Le Petit Paris with my coworkers on a Friday night. We did have a reservation for 5 people. For parking, we parked in a nearby lot for $15. As soon as I walk in the restaurant, I could tell it would be an elegant restaurant, since there was a staff opening the doors. In the interior, it was dimly lit and felt like a romantic atmosphere. There was also live music that added onto the vibe. We got a calamari for our appetizer. The positive was that it was large pieces. However, I didn't necessary like that the breading was falling apart. I prefer calamari to be more crunchy, but this one was on the smaller side. For the main dish, I ordered the scallops with black truffle risotto. I really enjoyed this and felt there were decent amount of scallops. The staff cleared out the tables and frequently refilled our waters.
Last minute Friday night reservation win. I am updating my previous review as I decided to come back here with my family and we had a wonderful experience in both food quality, service and ambiance. The entire staff was very accommodating and friendly as we brought our toddler to a rather fancy French restaurant. We ordered the homemade truffle brie which was delicious, the fig and nut bread was a wonderful companion with the soft cheese and shaved truffles. We ordered the warm baguette and butter to accompany the escargot (which was much better this time; I still prefer mine to be on the more garlicky side.) The Egg à la Coque & Caviar is a pleasant delight and truly does bring me back to Paris. The cognac flambeed truffle fresh pasta was a truly delightful in flavor with a show that our toddler definitely enjoyed. "Wow" at the giant cheese wheel it is presented and made in. Beef Bourguignon is an array of flavors that literally melt in your mouth. Highly recommend this entree. The steak frites was a 7/10 for me however the pepper sauce the sirloin is covered in is quite delicious. Beautiful venue, once more, that is not a shock. Definitely recommend for a group or an intimate outing.
