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.
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
Came here for Mother's Day and had such a lovely experience overall! The ambiance was warm and welcoming, perfect for a special celebration. There's plenty of parking available in nearby structures and lots, although do note it's about $20 to park. The service was fantastic, our server was attentive, kind, and made sure everything ran smoothly. Most of our food came out quickly and was bursting with flavor! Every dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. The only miss, unfortunately, was the risotto. It was a bit undercooked and lacked the depth of flavor we were hoping for, especially compared to how amazing everything else was. Desserts did take a little while (about 20 minutes), but they were worth the wait, sweet, satisfying, and a great ending to our meal. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back again, maybe just skip the risotto next time!
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.
We came to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary I really wanted French because I was craving some escargot and they did not disappoint!! The escargot was so yummy but make sure you get the warm baguette too to dip in the escargot sauce The interior was so beautiful. It felt like a fancy restaurant without having to dress like a fancy restaurant. That's my kinda place! Our server was so kind and friendly. We ordered a crème brûlée for dessert and she brought a glass with a sparkler in it to celebrate the occasion. It was the perfect place to have had our special day.
We booked this restaurant for brunch for our wedding anniversary. We called in ahead of time a few days before the reservation to confirm a few details, booked our babysitter for our newborn son, and were all set and looking forward to this. It's now 7:30pm the night before the reservation was to take place (less than 24 hours' notice) and we get a call from the manager saying that they are canceling our reservation as brunch was booked for a private event. There was no offer of any kind of alternative accommodation, it's just "we're canceling your reservation, bye." I am not upset at a restaurant for booking out for a private event, I imagine this kind of thing happens all the time. What I am upset about is that they are canceling our wedding anniversary reservation for a private event with less than 24 hours' notice. We are now spending the night before our anniversary scrambling to make a new reservation for the following morning after getting cancelled on last minute, not to mention costs already set when it comes to childcare. There was no offer to do anything for the inconvenience, either. It's just "yeah we're canceling you, sorry, but happy anniversary." So, if you were planning, like us, to spend a special day for a romantic date with your spouse, I'd think twice before making a reservation here. There's no guarantee they won't just cancel last minute and leave you high and dry.
How in the heck have I not given this place a glowing review!? Le Petit was everything! Came here for a pre-birthday celebration of yours truly and the entire experience was phenomenal. From the doorman to the host and ultimately your server was great. Just top notch. The noise level was just above average since there were multiple celebrations happening at once, but that's alright. All the revelry added to the good time. Seems to be the mood for a Saturday night here. Our server tho a bit busy was super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Offered great suggestions for wine and drinks. Our youngest is just under the age of 21 so if you're a non drinker, this place offers delicious mock tails to quench your thirst. For my meal I had the duck breast (see photo). It was a culinary masterpiece! Highly recommended. Don't recall if there are any vegetarian options. Finally, you may want to consider not using the valet service here especially on a weekend. Just massive backlog of cars and pedestrians. We had to get out of line and find parking a block away...no biggie. Overall: If you wanna spoil yourself with a fine dining experience that will leave you looking forward to a future visit...do come to Le Petit Paris.
I've been wanting to try this charming little French restaurant for some time now, but the parking situation had always held me back. This time, we noticed they offered valet service--much easier than circling the block--so we finally went for it. At first glance, the entrance isn't much to look at, but we were warmly greeted by a doorman who welcomed us in what I believe was French. Very polite and a nice touch. The interior is beautifully decorated--romantic, elegant, and spread over two stories. The ambiance was perfect for a cozy Friday evening. We had reservations and were seated immediately. Our waiter, also French, was extremely courteous and attentive. We started with cocktails, which were expertly crafted--smooth, strong, and surprisingly easy to drink. I suspect a skilled mixologist is behind the bar. Now onto the food: Starters: Escargot - Outstanding. Tender, flavorful, and served without the shell, making it easy to enjoy. If you're new to escargot, this is the perfect place to try it. Oysters - Phenomenal. Incredibly fresh, with no fishy aftertaste--just clean, briny goodness. Calamari - Light, crispy, and not at all greasy. Another fresh and well-executed seafood dish. Mains: Wood-fired Pizza - Delicious with a perfectly thin crust, balanced sauce, and flavorful salami. A must-try for any pizza lover. Lobster Pasta - One of the evening's standouts. The pasta was coated in a rich, well-balanced sauce, and the lobster tail was a generous and luxurious addition. Highly recommended. Steak (Medium Rare) - Expertly cooked. It leaned closer to rare, but the cut was tender, juicy, and flavorful--exactly what a good steak should be. Props to the chef. The Showstopper: Truffle Pasta Wheel with Lemon Zest Chicken Breast - This dish absolutely stole the show. The truffle and cheese were perfectly blended, rich without being overwhelming, and packed with flavor. The chicken breast was shockingly juicy--so much so that I had to double-check it really was chicken breast. A brilliant pairing that left no tastebud untouched. Dessert: As a self-declared sweet tooth, I found the dessert delightful. I'm not sure what kind of vanilla ice cream they use, but it was the highlight of the sweets--smooth, creamy, and unforgettable. Final Thoughts: An excellent dining experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was intimate and relaxing, the service was top-notch, and the food exceeded expectations. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable night out. Kudos to the chefs and the entire staff!
Made reservations for Sunday the 5th at 6:30 pm for my birthday dinner. Drove all the way from the IE and the restaurant is closed. No updates on their website, socials or anything.
Completely lived up to the hype! Incredibly delicious dinner with my family. We enjoyed splitting many plates, I recommend 2 things person. We got about 10 things for 6 people and that was enough because we had a late lunch. We ate everything quickly it was soooo delicious! My favorites were the linguine, yellowtail ceviche, and oysters. There was a cabaret event happening during dinner in honor of the Cannes Film Festival. It was so fun and so well done that I'll definitely be checking their website for other events to bring visitors to.
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.
A friend from NYC, who is constantly traveling the world and eating his way through it (including Paris and other cities in France regularly) took me to a late birthday dinner here, and I cannot thank him enough. The food was truly fantastic, and I have to say that was good because Los Angeles is not really known for its French food. Located in DTLA, it's great to plan to go on a weekday just as rush hour parking limits are ending. Right then you can find free parking on the street all around, plus the restaurant will be empty. Though, we are talking about an early dinner. While we were there, it did fill up nicely, though with gorgeous young influencers and older stately couples. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside. Staff is attentive and friendly. They make great cocktails and have plenty of good wines by the glass. Now onto the food. We started with the bread and butter, which was exquisite. I really don't know why restaurants need to charge $5-$8 for a small baguette for one and a small saucer of butter, but everyone seems to be doing that these days. A little complimentary bread just builds good will. Anyway, next were the appetizers - French Onion Soup and the 6 Piece Wild Burgundy Escargots. The French Onion soup had good rich flavor but felt a tad on the watery side. It was good, but I've had better. The escargots were far more successful with their rich, garlicky sauce. Next were the entrees - Steak Frites for me with peppercorn (au poivre) sauce and the duck leg confit. Both entrees were successful. You get a lot of frites with the steak... a LOT. My only slight complaint was the steak was a bit fatty. It could've been trimmed better. I felt the weight was a bit skewed with the fat left over on my plate when I was done cutting around it. The duck confit was very good and won raves from my friend. Some great champagne and a couple of fantastic espressos later, were were completely satiated. I totally recommend giving this place a shot to win you over. I will be back.
I really loved this place! Tim was our server and he really went above and beyond for my husband and I. It was our wedding anniversary and he even took cool pics with a flaming candle and gave complimentary champagne. What I really liked about this place was the truffle cheese wheel pasta. It is kinda pricey but for me being a pasta lover it is well worth it once in a while for a special occasion. The truffle and pasta are both flavorful and it is cooked with alcohol on a big wheel of cheese. They mix it in front of you and Tim explained the process and provided a small flambé show of the pasta and cheese...very social media post worthy like. I would go again for another special event bc I really think the pasta is worth it. Also their drinks are pretty strong I especially liked the whiskey I forgot what it was called but it was good. I will say this place is not super family oriented, it's more for a date night. The lights are dim, but the ambiance is super pretty!
Cozy romantic decor. Happy hours 5-closing every day at the bar & patio! $2.5 oyster $9 wine (rotating wines, we had the French rosé and it was perfect!) & many other. Pizza was great. Previously I had their warm baguette is one of the best in town & butter too. Also a very good duck confit read more
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! read more
Third or fourth time here. Who's counting? Regular Joe here enjoying some great food at this amazing French restaurant. Chill Easter brunch. Great service. Great atmosphere. Delicious food. Get the pasta in the cheese wheel with truffles. I normally don't like white sauce pasta but daaaaaamn. Incredible. Oh and did I mention Tim the server. Damn bro. Incredible service. Water refilled all the time. I ain't getting thirsty anytime soon. Caviar. Escargot. Oysters. Wow! You want to impress your woman or your family? Come here. You will woo her! Oh and to be served by a legit French bartender? Terry and Luca are incredible! read more

Celebrated my birthday at Le Petit Paris with my boyfriend and had a memorable experience! Reservations were made via OpenTable. They called me the morning of to confirm if I would like to get any dessert for my birthday celebration. Since we were bringing our own cake, they informed us of a cake fee in advance. Located in DTLA, it's an elegant French restaurant with a romantic interior and patio. The staircase that leads to the upstairs dining area was beautiful. From the host, to waiter, and every staff, they were welcoming. I was able to choose where to sit. The host gave me a bigger space for my flowers and gift. The staff even offered to put my flowers in a vase. Very kind of them! To share, we got half a dozen of oysters and escargots. The oysters were fresh and paired well with horseradish. The escargot was tasty, but a bit small. For entrees, we got the lobster tail pasta and truffle burger with fries. The entrees were pricey for what you're getting. The taste was decent. We also got red and white wine. The waiter gave me a wine tasting before I decided what to order. The servers were extremely attentive. The restaurant surprised me with a sparkler and champagne, which was sweet. Celebrating my birthday here made it special. Food was average, but the ambiance and service were amazing. For special occasions, I would recommend. read more

Very yummy authentic French fare. Even the servers are French. I had a kir royale, soupe à l'oignion followed by a steak tartare. Friends had escargots followed by steak frites and braised duck. Cocktail was a Petite Fleur (a gin & tonic with a sweat pea flower turning the drink purple) which was definitely enjoyed by gin lover. Dessert was a decadent chocolate lava cake which was perfect and unfortunately forgot to take a photo as we were so eager to try it. Nothing adventurous or unique but why mess with the classics? Food was enjoyable and so was the setting. Very attentive service and pleasant French speaking staff. Merci! read more

5* interior 5* hostess 3* patio seating 2,5* waiter that we got that day 4* food I went to Le Petit Paris for Thanks Giving. Gor lucky and parked right on the street for free because it was holiday. The restaurant has valet parking. The entrance was very spectacular, person greets you at the door and opens it to you and you entering this amazing building (you can see the picture i addes with the Christmas tree). I would say interior seating looked way more attractive then outside on the patio. We reserved the table on the patio (you can see in the picture with tartars, the view you'll get to see is the bamboo wall). Hostess was such a nice young lady she was very patient and with bubly personality so the start was amazing. Because we came to celebrate Thanks Giving the menu was already pre-made but still with few more choices. My food choices: Salmon tartar- it was delicious and very light Turkey dish - for me it was too much food and turkey was little bit too dry and too salty for my taste Apple tarte (apple pie) and was really good, lots of apple pie paste. The bigest minus was our waitress, we got real French lady, as an european myself i know we are not very "smiley" people but com'on it was holiday atleast she could squeeze one smile. But overal she was always rushing us to choose what we want to eat, and few times she just walked out in the middle of the conversation, thankfully me and my colleague did not let this ruin our holiday mood. She would be good bar tender but as a waitress she is horrible, you need to communicate with customer and thats not her strong part. Overall experience was very nice! read more
The pre fixed menu was pretty good but not the best in my opinion. The experience was fast and food wasn't as warm as I thought it would be. I assume they made pre plated dishes to keep up with the courses which allowed the food temp to drop. Overall it had flavor. The dessert was dry and too sweet for me. The service was attentive and good. The ambiance was great wish the food was just as great as the decor. read more

It was long overdue tuck away in my bookmarks for years. Beautiful restaurant and atmosphere. I fell in love with big mirror in the entrance. I came here for dinner to celebrate my anniversary. This place was my bfs choice him well knowing I been wanting to go for a long time. No room for desert with so much food we had we shared the calamari, oysters and we each order steaks. Looking forward to going back. Next time we will definitely order the pasta. read more
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. read more
Decided to celebrate my birthday here. They lighting in the restaurant was relaxing and nice. The music was excellent. I had the nicest server who made sure that I felt celebrated for my event. She constantly checked on us. The food was to die for. I was very pleased!! They made the most amazing Naked & Famous cocktail that's was not even on their list. Amazing read more
Love coming back to this restaurant, it's such a vibe! The food is incredible and cocktails are always solid. Always a great option for a date night, food quality doesn't disappoint no matter the time of day. Looking forward to going back for brunch! read more

Just had the Mother's Day brunch with my wife. Everything was excellent! The service from the time we checked in, seated, served was excellent! Eileen attended to us perfectly! The menu selection for this occasion was phenomenal! For appetizers, we had the artichoke veloutte and crab galettes. For our main course, my wife had the beef bourguignon while I had the duck leg confit. Lastly, desert was German chocolate cake and raspberry creme brûlée. Like I said, everything was excellent! I highly recommend and will definitely be returning! Happy Mother's Day tp all moms out there! read more
Things are a hit or miss at Le Petit Paris. Thankfully, most of their dishes are phenomenal. It's such a cute restaurant and is dimly lit, but not to the point where it's annoying. The french onion soup, mushroom risotto, and octopus are a must get. The best french onion soup I've ever had and the risotto and octopus were cooked perfectly. The flambeed truffle pasta was surprisingly good and the presentation was fun. I would stay away from the steak dishes since they tend to be overcooked. Parking is somewhat difficult as it's in DTLA but they have a valet service at the front. read more
Pretty solid French restaurant in DTLA! Interesting vibe, the restaurant sits around a staircase with a band at the top. The hostess said she'd seat us at her favorite spot which is at the top of the stairs. While it was nice, it was a bit loud so we moved across the way. Got cocktails which were okay but nothing to write home about. Our waitress was French, which was nice. We ordered 4 appetizers - the bone marrow, escargots, French onion soup and the grilled octopus - all very delicious but the soup and octopus was probably my favorite! We also shared the seafood entree which was also pretty tasty. Overall a cool spot with good food an ambiance. The band was a little weird playing over top 40 hits but still cool. read more
Le Petit Paris is a pretty dreamy restaurant. It's dark, dim and has a sultry layout. Truly perfect for a date night or celebration. Parking can be difficult but they have valet available for $17. Otherwise, I recommend reservations but they do take walk ins. All of the staff was incredibly welcoming, polite and attentive. Definitely 5 star service. The dinner menu is pretty solid but pricey. I have seen all the viral videos for the cognac flambred pasta so I had to order. $85 and you can order protein for an additional charge. The flambred pasta is definitely a presentation where they pull out a Parmesan wheel and fire up the middle to blend the pasta with the Parmesan. The smell once the wheel is torched is a decadent Parmesan smell and tasted immaculate. The topped truffle and added chicken was to die for. Otherwise, my hubby ordered the truffle cheeseburger($43). He said it was delicious but not worth $43. What really sealed the deal was the lava cake. The chocolate was rich, the cake was moist and the dark chocolate raspberry syrup was superb! The only ding is that the seating is pretty close so it takes away from that private date night feel. The tables are also extremely low along with the chairs so you have no back support so it makes the dining experience a bit uncomfortable. If you have the option I do recommend requesting a booth but they are pretty limited. I did notice there is upstairs dining available as well so maybe the seating options are better. Overall though a really romantic spot. read more
Honestly I had higher expectations from this establishment. The ambiance is romantic, dimly lit and intimate. Service was pretty attentive and our waitress was nice and accommodating. Aside from the food, the overall environment and staff at the restaurant was great! The dishes that we ordered just didn't particularly pique my fancy. The charcuterie was a little bit disappointing, although we had 4 types of meat to choose from, there weren't many toppings aside from plain raw walnuts, cornichons and some whole seed mustard. The meat was also a little dry, so it was a bit tough to chew. I enjoyed the beet carpaccio though, tender, sweet and creamy from the dressing with basil salad being a nice refreshing addition to the dish. I ordered a margherita pizza and unfortunately it wasn't woodfired so it didn't have that smokey flavor that I love. The beef bourguignon was definitely the star of the show, the wine reduction was amazing and the beef cheek was cooked incredibly tender. Didn't try the bone marrow but for $25 for a few pieces of gnocchi with a random side of gnocchi, it's a bit strange to me. It would have went better with bread, in my opinion. Because the ambiance is so intimate, I would highly suggest only taking dates here as I came with a friend and it was pretty awkward for a while LOL. Though my final verdict is that I proobbbably won't be coming back. read more

OMG--best experience ever! I took my fiancé to this restaurant for his birthday, and everything exceeded our expectations. We arrived at 7:45 PM for our 8:30 PM reservation. When I checked in at the front desk, the hostess took my name and said she would see if our table was ready. She returned shortly and, knowing we were there to celebrate a birthday, told us she didn't want to seat us near the front door where the available table was. Instead, she offered to seat us in the wine room so we could enjoy a more special and intimate experience. I was so impressed and grateful that she went out of her way to make the evening perfect. We were also helped by a very kind gentleman--possibly a supervisor--who guided us through the wine selection and made us feel incredibly welcome. The food was amazing, and we both absolutely loved it. Toward the end of the meal, they even brought out a birthday cake for my fiancé, making the night even more memorable. We will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! read more
We went on a Monday night so it was pretty quiet. There were a few other diners. We were greeted and served quickly and everyone was professional. The server gave us recommendations for wine which were spot on. The food was delicious albeit a bit pricey. I would go again. read more

Reservation asks if I want "standard" or "high top". What is the difference?
High top is typically seating in the bar area. Standard would be a table in the dining room. But regardless a high top table is one that sits higher than the rest of the tables. Hope this helps!
How is the store operating during Covid?
Has anyone been to the Wednesday night jazz? I'm thinking of going tonight in the case anyone is able to answer this forum in the next few hours.... :) . --- I shall report back on my own answer if not in a review.
Jazz there is amazing. The performers are just so chill and smooth. They always recommend for you to have dinner there, but you can always just sit at the bar and have a drink while listening and watching, as long as there is room available.
What's the dress code?
People dress up over the weekend for dinner. During the week it's casual or you'll see business casual because of the work crowd. I've worn casual all the times I've gone (even on the weekend) and customers/…
Are there gluten free options?
If you look thru the photos, I have had the sea-bass ceviche, there is a duck breast, filet mignon, beef carpaccio, and one of the photos that the owner or manager replied back to a Yelper that they would accommodate any vegan requests. So I am sure…
Do you still make souffle?
Hi, We have a terrific chocolate souffle on our dessert menu. In addition to that the pastry chef…
