Went for the dine in LA deal and was super worth it!! Tucked in an alley of DTLA, this place transports you to a cozy French living room. You can really tell that the food and ingredients are super high quality! As for what we ordered: - Escargots (5/5), no notes - super flavorful and tasty standard escargots done right! - French onion soup (5/5): the cheese was nicely melted and the soup was rich. Classic choice, can't go wrong! - Duck confit (5/5): never had this before but oh man it was so good! The duck skin was light and crispy, not oily at all and the duck was juicy. The flavors shined throughout and the purées complimented the duck really nicely. Super balanced dish - Beef Bourguignon (4/5): I wanted to love this more but I think the wine sauce was too overpowering. The beef was fork tender and cooked really nicely but I just thought the sauce was too strong. Everything else was nice! - pistachio crème brulee (5/5): I was so surprised but this was so good!! Never had these flavors before but it was the perfect blend of light and airiness with a hint of pistachio! Service was standard, they give table bread which was good and fresh! Parking is tough since it's in DTLA but it was easy on a Sunday night! read more

Service was ok. Started out fine because we were seated quickly but there was only one server and it took a hot minute for water and attention and menus. Food was ok. The truffle mushroom pizza tasted the best. Freshly baked and yummy flavor. Truffle not strong (which I prefer) Worst was dessert. Profiterole felt stale. Redeeming quality was the huge scoop of ice cream. The pistachio creme brulee was not good. Not creamy and kind of dry and grainy. French onion soup, escargots, beef tartare, duck leg, and beef bourguignon were ok. They were all cooked correctly but it just lacked some extra flavor. read more

This place is nice and cozy even though it's located in a bright hallway. I decided to try their DineLa dinner menu: $45 pp. Started off with their 1/2 dozen Burgundy Snails, then Duck Leg Confit (+$3), and finished with a Profiterole. Snails: 10/10, I loved how it's served the traditional way with the snails still in the shell and given the clamper and fork to eat with it. Fresh bread was provided. Duck Leg Confit: 8/10, I enjoyed it but I'm not a big fan of parsnip puree so that's on me. Profiterole: 8/10, only came with one; but despite that it was drowned in hot chocolate sauce which made it perfect! There is no bathroom in the restaurant itself but it's located in the hallway on the right with a security guard standing in front. Parking is tricky because its dtla but there are several garages ranging from $10-15, all around 1-2 blocks away. (They're open at 5pm; even though apple maps says 6pm). read more

Solid Dine LA Menu. Probably the best meal for the price we had all day. Got the escargot, salad, beef, duck, and creme brulee, and everything was great. Favorite had to be the duck, because of the crunchy skin but perfectly cooked center. Creme brulee was great too. Also our waitress was amazing! Recommend for a date night, and would come back. read more

Food 5/5 Service 5/5 Ambiance 5/5 Came here with my grandma, mom, and husband because my mom loves French food. Food: fantastic, legitimate French food. We all ordered the pre fixe course and everything felt perfectly seasoned and not cloying at all. Most French food I've had was mostly salty and greasy but this was one of the first I've had that wasn't either of those things. We were all impressed, even my 80-smthg yr old grandma enjoyed it. For the pre-fixe course, we enjoyed the burgundy escargot (3.5/5), french onion & shallots soup (5/5), moules frites (3.5/5), beef bourguignon (4.5/5), duck confit (4.5/5), tarte tartin (5/5), pistachio creme brulee (5/5). Everything was amazing, and desserts were the highlight of the night. It wasn't overly sweet and was just right. I would go back just for the desserts alone, but also to try everything else on their menu. We met with the chef who was very kind. Both the chef and waitress are French. Service was amazing! Ambiance: L'appart is located in DTLA which can get sketchy at night, so we wished there were valet but unfortunately, there were only street parking and parking structures across the street. We paid $15 for parking a little over 2 hours. The restaurant itself however is charming and lovely, and you feel safe once you're in because there is security right in front. We were the only patrons when we had first arrived, and it was very spacious and decorated tastefully both inside and outside. All in all, the food and service were amazing enough to overlook the parking and neighborhood. I'd come back in a heartbeat! (Just maybe not alone ;) read more

A horrible experience from the moment we walked in. There was old, stale food just sitting out on the countertops and under heat lamps in trays, looking like it had been there for hours. The quality and presentation of the food were extremely disappointing. Honestly, it felt more like eating at a school cafeteria than a restaurant. The atmosphere matched the location and overall condition of the place. I should have known what to expect the moment we arrived. Definitely not a place I would return to or recommend. read more

Came here before a show downtown and it was just a very lovely dinner! The food we had was very tasty, the salad was super fresh and the pizza was great, as you can see from the pics they have the large pizza oven right there and it was perfectly made. Lots of space, we came on a weekend and though I believe I made a reservation they seemed to have room for walk ins. Would definitely try again! read more

The lights are low, the vibe is French-cool, and the wine is formidable thanks to Matthew who really knows his stuff! He guided me towards the perfect afternoon glass, which put a spring in my step helping Spring St. live up to its name. I love the seating options, from barside to couch, along with their hip low level music. Put that together and you have the perfect date spot. If that weren't enough, their Happy Hour discount keeps things affordable. Going on a date? Craving a cool corner for some great wine? Or you just want to hear a French accent to remind you of that awesome trip to Paris? If so, this is your place! read more

So ive been wanting to come here for a while now bc they have escargot on the menu and a cool happy hour on food...lets start w the interior, it was soo cute and tucked away, cute art and details just a but warm inside. Next,the service;it was good, i wouldnt say great. the waiter was very attentive to take our order and bring our food. He was also so nice and really allowed us to enjoy our time without being over attending. The food. Lol. Escargot was a let down, definitely pretty for the picture but not to the taste, same w the garlic bread. Both were under flavor...like they didnt put salt and used unsalted butter to make it. A bit disappointing as snails and garlic bread are some of my fav things to eat! We also got a truffle pizza....honestly very good &only $15 for happy hour! read more

Valentine's Day, so decided to make it French and try L'appart. Didn't necessarily want the set menu they had, but that was so they were offering after we sat down, so there we were. The bread started if with an amuse bouche. There were two bites, one was a stuffed mushroom, which was a nice and full of flavor. The other, not sure what it was, but also good. Appetizers came next to which we ordered the salmon gravelax. This came with a dill mousse and focaccia. The salmon was actually really good, not necessarily heading that hard salmon flavor you come to expect. The dill mousse probably helped cut that though. There could have been more focaccia for sure. Next were the entrees. The scallops were paired with a ginger beet puree with honey roasted beets. The beats didn't have that overpowering flavor you come to expect from beats and was actually more enjoyable than I thought it would be. The scallops were on the smaller side and I wish they would have had that nice sear on them, but still good. The beef tenderloin came medium rare with a stuffed potato. The meat was delicious, just fell apart in your mouth. As for the desserts, it was a trio of desserts with a chocolate fondant, a raspberry profiteroles and a lemon tart. The lemon tart has the most flavor and was very refreshing, while the raspberry profiterole was something different but good. The fondant was not memorable. Overall, really wish we could have tried some of the items on the regular menu, but the items we did have were cooked well with wonderful presentation. If you're looking for a French restaurant in Los Angeles, you might want to try L'appart to hit that craving read more

My friend and I dined here last night for DineLA week, and I'm so glad we did!! We both started with the shallot soup. It was out of this world! It had an amazing cheese crust even on the outside of the bowl. It had so much depth and flavor. Oh my goodness! I got the Beef Bourguignon and she ordered the duck confit. She loved her dish. I didn't try it but it looked great! The beef bourguignon was delicious! The meat was insanely tender, you don't even need a knife. It truly was lovely. The red wine and mushroom sauce was delicious. We each ordered one dessert so we tried both the crème brûlée and the profiterole. The profiterole was very good, we both love dark chocolate so it was right up our alley. But oh my goodness was that crème brûlée delectable! It was on another level for desserts. You have to order it. We had great service. They were attentive and were super kind to us all night. I would undoubtedly come back here again. Even if just for a bowl of soup and some crème brûlée! I've actually passed this restaurant multiple times with my work and we always said we should try it. I'm so glad my friend and I stopped in! The restaurant itself is a more intimate setting, not too large. They've done a great job decorating. It's elegant but inviting read more

I went to L'Appart for the first time for a Friendsmas dinner and we all left happy and full. The food was delicious our favorites were the cauliflower pizza, the octopus and the escargot. We did a dinner of mostly shared apps to taste a little bit of everything. We reordered the escargots because they were that good, unfortunately they ran out of octopus after our first order but c'est la vie. The portions for the appetizers were good but we were surprised at how small the tartare was especially considering it was a main plate. To be fair it does come with fries. The drinks were good and the service was excellent. For dessert we ordered their Nutella pizza and apple tart a la mode both good choices but we enjoyed the Nutella pizza with its toasted almonds the most. The only reason this was not a full 5 stars was the location. Parking is always crazy downtown but due to it being in the middle of two one-way streets, it was a bit hectic. It's easiest to just park at the lot across the way for a flat fee. They don't have bathrooms inside of the restaurant so you have to ask for a bathroom ticket from the restaurant, walk down the hallway and up the stairs to use the shared restroom for all the establishments in the shopping center. The bathrooms have a security guard at the front who will allow you in with the ticket so the restrooms are clean. Aside from this, the restaurant itself, the food and service are excellent. I would come back again and try more tasty French cuisine! read more

L’appart - French Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Air Food L'appart has a unique name and also a unique style of food. This place is located in the Los Angeles area on Broadway and 6th Street. It was my first time here and I came with three other people for a nice early dinner. The inside felt nice and had homely vibes. Our server was taking our order and I would say I liked our food. The pizza was amazingly delicious. The crust and the bread were so tasty that we decided to order a dessert pizza at the end of our meal. Overall the escargots which are snails were hot and tasty. I liked dipping our side of bread into the hot oil. You must order the duck it was delicious and also don't forget to get some dessert. read more

This spot is a little tricky to find, but once you do, you'll find the cutest decorated hall of restaurants. Seems very far removed from its area. We came on a weekday during lunch hours, and it wasn't busy at all. We were quickly seated by friendly service and introduced to some of the dishes when we asked. I ordered the dish of the day, which highlighted a perfectly cooked sea bass sitting on top of cauliflower purée and garnished with pearls of roe. The cauliflower purée was to die for!! My only critique is that the fish was sitting in a pool of oil, which I found to be a little unappetizing. Other than that, amazing and would come back to try the duck. read more

I love coming to L'APPART. The food is always spectacular I've tried different items on the menu & I'm amazed each time. The service is always great as well as the ambiance. This time time around we started of the night with the Onion & Shallot soup which for me was 10/10 Than for main we went with the flank steak & the burgundy pizza which both were delicious & very flavorful. The snail with potatoes mix on the burgundy pizza was the exact combination that we didn't expect to work so well but it went above our expectations. Flank steak was delicious & the sauce was to die for. Will forever keep coming back to this place ! read more

We wanted to check out Garcons de Cafe but somehow ended up at Air Food L'appart instead. The restaurants are connected, so it's either the same owner or some sort of partnership. Ambiance was great - It did not feel like we're in the middle of DTLA lol. Our server, Sylvaine was extremely knowledgeable and recommended amazing dishes. + Onion & shallots soup 5/5: Omg! This is probably one of the best onion soup I've ever had. It was light but very flavorful. We should have each gotten our own lol. + Burgundy snails 4/5: I love escargot but I wish this dish would've tasted more garlicky. I guess the natural flavors of the snail did shine thru since the sauce wasn't too overpowering. + Oysters (5/5): No complaints! Thankfully no sandy gritty ones. + Bayonne (pizza) 4/5: Nicely baked and cheesy pizza. Ham was a bit salty. + Pear dessert 5/5: Poached pear with chocolate drizzle. It was not ridiculously sweet. I was glad I got to try this! + Lillet Fritz 4/5: Cocktail with rose and sparkling wine. It was just okay - too dry for my liking! All the dishes we ordered tasted great and I enjoyed my dinner here. Will come back with the dogs next time since restaurant is dog-friendly too! read more

Amazing experience! The whole experience struck that perfect balance of cozy, elevated, and authentically French. Started at the wine bar, which had a fantastic selection of French wines and cocktails in an intimate setting. Then headed to the restaurant, we ordered the Mussels Marinières and the 48-Hour Duck Leg Confit--both were rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The mussels are a must and will be heading back soon just for them, get some bread on the side to dip in the sauce. Service was exceptional as well, will be coming back! read more

My boyfriend chose this place to celebrate my birthday dinner and I am so glad that he did. The ambiance of the restaurant is both warm and intimate. During our dinner, they only had one server plus the bartender was also helping her out. She did an amazing job at catering to all of the other tables' needs considering she was the only one serving the whole restaurant. The food was top tier! Prices are reasonable, portions are huge and flavors were just moutwateringly good! We started off with a dozen of Escargot and a bowl of French Onion Soup paired with our drinks of choice, Blackberry Mint Julep and a glass of red wine. For our mains, we shared the Burgundy Pizza and Beef Bourguignon. Everything we ordered was so good and we were really surprised how delicious everything was! Lastly for our dessert, the server gave us a complimentary birthday Pistachio Crème Brûlée plus two glasses of bubbly. Thank you very much to the team behind L'appart. My birthday dinner is another memorable one. I will for sure recommend this place to family and friends. read more

A very welcoming place with incredible food and friendly attentive service. Highly recommend

First time visiting L'Appart, and it was wonderful! We weren't able to work through the menu since we had a nearby show to attend, but we did have the hummus (which had a piece of beef bourguignon that was delectable, and it's also on the menu is an entrée), a French onion style soup, and amazing desert. The host was wonderful, and set me up with a mighty tasty Negroni. Get yourself down there! read more

What can be said about Food Air L'Appart? For starters it's probably the best French cafe dining in Los Angeles (and that includes Perle in Pasadena that is pretty darn good). My wife and I hadn't been in over a year and were surprised to find out they had moved to 5th and Broadway into a cute food court. The restaurant is much bigger than their old location and decorated nicely as a French bistro. They've added a few key ingredients to their move: they now have a wood fired oven for pizzas and there is an attached, but separately run, wine bar that is very cozy. As usual we brought our own wine: this time a 2015 Chateau Siran that Mathew, the owner of the wine bar, opened for us. I did peruse their wine list curated by Mathew and was surprised to find a thoughtful selection of French, California and even Mexican wines. I'm eager to go back to the wine bar and try some of these wines by the glass. We started with the grilled octopus appetizer that was absolutely delicious and beautiful to behold. The octopus was tender and the various sauces really accompanied the dish well. My wife ordered the beef Bourgogne which we had had at their previous location and I had the flank steak. The beef Bourgogne was a completely different version than what we had experienced previously: instead of it presented as more of a stew/brothy dish the meat had been shredded, cooked in the broth until virtually absorbed into the meat, reconstituted and presented almost as filet mignon. It came with a couple of creamy sauces and was fantastic. My flank steak was quite good with its mustard seed sauce and cooked perfectly medium rare. My only complaint about this dish were the French fries: they were limp to the point of being almost soggy. I hope they can get this sorted out because otherwise the dish was terrific. We will make a point of returning to Food Air L'Appart and bring our friends to discover both the wines and the food. Oh, and the wine bar features live music Wednesday evenings. read more

The Good: The ambiance is fantastic. The sommelier was excellent. The profiteroles were the best I've had outside of Paris. The Bad: Dinner, however, was very disappointing. The onion and shallot soup was weirdly super sweet. Like they added sugar, it was not what I was expecting. The duck confit was super salty and well over-cooked. I was struggling to cut through it with a knife. read more

It is still 10/10 for a dating place! I've witnessed them grow from a small place that fits that barely fits 5 or 6 tables to a full-scale restaurant with a bar and even a second floor. So, congrats! Last time, we were the only people in the restaurant because it was a hot weekend and nobody wanted to go out. They allowed my date to play the piano which was a heartwarming moment. The staff are all French people with a flair of accents, which makes the food more authentic. One time the server carried a water bottle with custom-made stickers on it. I love their energy! The duck confit has been on the menu long enough for me to keep ordering. And the Burgundy snails are to die for with the options of 3 or 6 (I think). My date tried the snails for the first time and he loved it. They would update the dessert menu, so I would ask for a personal recommendation every time. I forgot what cocktails we got last time, but it was sweet and delectable, please refer to the picture for reference. I've recommended this place to so many friends that I've lost count! Walk-ins are allowed, but the restaurant is popular, so be sure to call ahead and make a reservation. read more

Delicious food, beverage, and service. We ordered escargot, spring salad, the 2 day cooked duck, and risotto. The 2 day duck and sauce were savory, succulent, and the meat was crisp but falling off the bone. The cocktails were good and the wine selection was mostly European. Staff and owner spoke French which was fun to continue to practice my langue français. They only recently opened. Decor and ambiance was not over the top but nice, relaxing, and comfortable. Very busy with people eating and coming and going to pick up wine or have a drink. Spot is a bit hard to find hidden in the pass through retail area between Spring and Broadway. Also restrooms are off site in the retail area. Otherwise we love the place. read more

The ambiance is fantastic, the staff is overrun and under serves you. The food is good with some things being very good. But it's not worth coming for brunch. They had great outdoor music but unfortunately indoors much of the food you're paying for as part of brunch is mostly gone or in disarray. The crepes were so so, the omelette not so good and very runny, but the quiche and croissants were very good. But honestly I just spent over 100 and it wasn't worth it. The live music was the really good thing and thank god that wasn't a surcharge. All told I wish they'd let me choose what I want to eat and not force a buffet on me. None of the buffet food except the quiche was good and most of it was torn up or gone. Totally not worth it on a Sunday read more

Classic french fair done perfectly with a small but interesting wine list including some Mexican offerings! Prices were reasonable as well!

Went to this spot with my brother. Make reservations people! Luckily we had reservations and only waited a few minutes for our table. Once settled, two servers tag team and it felt like we were well taken care of from the time we sat down to when I paid the bill. We ordered escargot and garlic bread for apps, amazing especially if you're a garlic lover! I had the scallops over butternut squash and it was cooked beautifully. The ambiance is very cozy even though all the tables were full. There's a window into the kitchen and a tv monitor for a firsthand look at the chef creating his masterpieces. I hear that the menu is not always the same so consider going a few times to see what's new. Looking forward to going again! read more

I decided to start doing Yelp reviews and although I came here last year in November, I knew that this was the first place I had to review because of the fantastic food I had this night with my girlfriend. We had grilled octopus and escargot as our starters. I didn't know octopus could taste this good. I had octopus at another place a few days before this and the ends were really chewy and rubbery, while this place had tender and flavorful octopus in every bite. They really knew how to treat their octopus. I thought that all the cooking shows I've watched were exaggerating how delicious food can be when treated the right way, but this experience really proved that to be true. It was my first time having escargot, and it went great with the bread. For our mains, I had duck confit with pears in a honey mustard sauce, with a parsnip puree on the side. My girlfriend had scallops with risotto. The duck was a little salty but was the perfect pairing with the creamy and light parsnip puree that had a hint of sweetness. Together, they made a great dish that I couldn't stop eating even though I still felt full from the ramen I had in the afternoon. My girlfriend kept raving about the parsnip puree, and she had all the right to, because it was really the best thing I've ever had. My hand kept moving to scoop up more of it even after I was full. I hope one day I can make parsnip puree that was that good. As for dessert, unfortunately we didn't have any, because we were too full to have any. When we ordered, we wanted to get dessert but we were recommended to not get it just in case we were too full, and in the end, we were really too full to get it. I'm really glad I went to this restaurant for this experience, I'll probably make a reservation for this place every time I'm in LA. read more

A near perfect French bistro. We last went on a Saturday evening. We were greeted promptly in a welcoming manner. Service was spot on, friendly, knowledgeable and not intrusive. The onion and shallot soup was impressive. The broth was a perfect blast of umami to go with the cheese and bread. My son, who is a picky eater, loved every drop of the cheese plate. The cheeses were well selected and the accompaniments were fresh. The duck confit never disappoints, it's so good that it keeps me from trying their other entrees. Profiteroles for dessert were very refreshing on a summer evening, not too sweet and a good size for sharing. Bar offerings were equally excellent, the mint julep was outstanding and the server's wine selection for the duck was perfect. The setting is relaxed and the service unhurried. Highly recommended. read more

* Escargots de Bourgogne: basic garlic parsley butter sauce. meat is very small. 3 out of 6 were sandy. * Roasted Octopus: flavors were mild and one noted, lacked acidity and salt. octopus was unevenly cooked, thinner pieces were over cooked and rubbery. * Beef Tartar: came w unbelievably salty fries. tartar lacked flavor and the texture wasn't as firm as a traditional steakhouse styled tartar. * Smoked Duck & Porcini Risotto: very mild flavors. tasted like creamy unseasoned porridge. * Black Truffle Scallops: scallops were unevenly cooked, some were rubbery while others were borderline raw. umami truffle flavor worked well w the seafoody scallop flavor. * Profiterole: soggy puff pastry. tasted like store bought chocolate syrup. can't go wrong w a scoop of vanilla ice cream. * Lemon Tarte: overwhelmingly sweet, tasted like grocery market lemon tart. crust was very dense and thick, difficult to break even w metal utensils. * Red Wine: glass of wine served w fruit flies inside three times before waiter opened a new bottle tableside. - extremely salty fries that came w the beef tartar paired well w the bland flavors of everything else - free warm bread and cold butter refilled - very small space inside. outdoor patio was on the urine scented sidewalk. - no street parking or valet. paid parking garages nearby. - per staff, creme brûlée was not offered that day read more
