What a lovely experience this week at Massilia. Everything from the lovely kind young man at the door, William, who assisted me to my table. What a top gentleman! On top of that the food was lovely as always. A splendid burger and half'n'half pizza. Thank you all! read more

| L O C A T I O N + P A R K I N G | Easy to find location on the corner or Grand Ave + 1st St in a retail space of The Conrad. Conveniently located across the streets from major hot spots (Walt Disney Concert Hall, MOCA, The Broad)! There is validated self parking as well as valet. | M E N U | (I came for brunch on a Sunday morning so have only ordered items from that menu + drinks.) Ordered 3 mains + a side of fries + umami martinis. I can't stress enough how yummy everything was! SEARED COD (carrot purée, crispy brussels sprouts, tomato-olive-caper sauce vierge ) The cod was cooked perfectly that it was nice and soft, the carrot puree it sat on was lightly seasoned but in a good way that it complemented the cod rather than stand out in flavor on its own. The capers were an excellent touch as well. MERGUEZ SAUSAGE PIZZA SANDWICH (fennel confit, harissa labneh, greens) My mom said this was so good she already planned to come to LA next week to eat it again lol. MOITIÉ-MOITIÉR ( 1/2 four cheese and 1/2 marinara with cantabrian anchovies) My mom, daughter & I all agree this was great! We're an anchovy eating family and these anchovies were top notch. Not like the ones you get at a dominos or something other. FRIES They're shoestring!! And we all know those are the best kind of French fries. Best part though? The bowl is pretty big for a side -def giving McDonald's a run for the money lol. My daughter wanted to take a side to go! UMAMI MARTINI (gin, vermouth, yuzu, anchovy oil) Alright, I know you're reading the anchovy part and making a face but hear me out first; if you're a dirty gin martini fan, you will love this! It's a very delicately balanced martini with a whisper of the umami from the anchovy oil, a slight tart from the yuzu & the smoothness of the gin combined. I don't think I can accurately describe it but just know it's worth the order (or in my case, multiple orders lol)! | S P A C E | Beautifully designed, open layout with gorgeous furniture & plants! There's a table setting for every mood I swear; bar vibes, date night, brunch, happy hour bites! I also wanna shout out that the sinks are outside the bathroom which I appreciate so much, especially in DTLA. I hate having to wait to wash my hands when there's a line for the toilets. When you first enter there's a cute section of curated drinks, artisanal goods, snacks, sauces & spices! So if you were looking for grab & go goodies, souvenirs or just a treat, you're in the right place. | S T A F F | My guy, Forest, such a gem! Attentive, friendly, and helpful with great recs. He made our first experience there a great one! Lovely Marta, the angel behind the bar who made my martinis to perfection! Literally everyone we encountered here was so friendly! Hostess was sweet, bussers had our table immaculate & even another server was quick to notice we were *starting to* run low on water & brought us a new bottle! | H I G H L I G H T S | Staff **Affordable!! (Easily one of the few restaurants in DTLA with prices that match the portions/taste) Umami martini Happy Hour (m-f 3pm - 5pm + after 930pm) Well done Massilia, very well done! You've curated a fantastic staff to match your fantastic food & ambiance! Can't wait to come back! read more

Ambiance: cute, modern, clean. Good place for brunch or business meet dinner Drinks: drinks were well crafted. Good flavor and decent alcohol pour. Food: not that many options and the flavor was okay. I needed to add salt and pepper. Didn't feel like expectations for DTLA dining Service: standard. Food came out fairly quick and it wasn't super busy read more

Great place to meet with friends before and after the show around music center and Disney Concert Hall. Beautiful decor with patio seating, and comfortable open space in the dining room. Only not so good thing is they charged the customers a % of online payment platform fee while the servers told us to pay with scanned QR Code. The food was delicious, fresh ingredients, fair amount of portion, friendly service. read more

Located just outside the Conrad Hotel & across from the Disney Concert Hall, Massilia is a casual brasserie that feature an eclectic menu offering French, Spanish, Italian, & North African dishes. The restaurant recently relocated from Santa Monica to DTLA, so my co-workers and I took a break to check it out. The place is spacious and has a small little market area at the entrance. There is indoor & patio seating and plenty of spots at the bar. We were seated at a table facing the window so we could watch pedestrians and cars pass by. Our server was delightful and polite. We ordered a few dishes to share: Crispy Calamari, Fattoush Salad, Spaghetti Neri Alle Vongole, Mushroom & Ricotta Pizza, and Seared Cod. I also ordered the Massilia Spritz. It was a perfect refresher for a warm spring day. The food was flavorful and on point. We absolutely loved every dish and there was nothing left to take home. *Self-Parking $4 with validation. Valet $15 with validation. read more

We were staying at the Conrad and thought this place would be a more casual option compared to San Laurel. Saw all the great reviews about this place back when it was in Santa Monica, so now that it's in DTLA, we went to give it a try. We came for early dinner and they sat us quickly since we had a reservation. The ambiance was nice and the room was lively. We had a very friendly server, but when he was pouring water he made a big spill on the table. We thought he would come back to wipe down the table since the table is small, which made the spill so much worse. Not sure if they were short staffed that day but we had to ask 3 different people before someone finally cleared the spill. In regards to food, I wholeheartedly agree with a lot of the 2/3 star reviews. I normally don't give below a 4 unless there's something really big to address, but we had one of the most disappointing meals in recent years. While the ingredients were fresh, the flavors were very underwhelming. We got a Burrata Margherita Pizza because we saw the positive review, but after a bite it was really hard to continue. The pizza was somewhat lukewarm since they put cold burrata on a warm pizza. It would've been nice if the burrata was also popped in the oven or alternatively, they could've cooked the pizza a bit more. The pizza didn't have that crisp you want. All that is to say it that we were pretty sure we could make a better one and when you're paying LA prices for food, it's not ideal. We also ordered the Salade Verte with Grilled Chicken. This was a little better than the pizza but it was just a simple salad. No garnish or anything. Super glad we got chicken otherwise it would've just been simple greens. Don't get me wrong, it was a fresh salad and very edible, but when you crave a Trader Joe's salad afterwards, that says something. The saving grace at this place was the White Pear Negroni. Props to the bartender. Had I not gotten this, the meal would have been a lot worse of an experience. This is definitely a drinks place. If you come here for just that, you're most likely good. I'm not sure if this experience is indicative of the restaurant as a whole since the opened not too long ago and I don't wish poorly on them. I do hope they address the food flavors. It seems that they have potential to be a good restaurant. Lastly, they really should put on the menu about the extra 4% charge. The reason they give is due to them being in the building close to all the hot spots. I don't mind paying the fee, but it felt wrong that they didn't disclose it ahead of time and just worked it into the receipt at the end. read more

Massilia - Burrata Margherita Pizza and Salade Verte with Grilled Chicken - French Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Came for brunch today, so this review will be for that. Massilia is located just outside the Conrad hotel downtown, they offer valet for $15 (with validation) or self parking for $4 (with validation). The restaurant is such a vibe, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The indoor is super open with a very modern vibe that I really liked. We had a larger party and our server was super friendly and accommodating, and all the other staff were quick to bring our food out and serve us. The ambiance and service were both great and standouts for the experience. Unfortunately the food was pretty mediocre, which was a bummer. I got the soft scrambled eggs with sourdough and while the eggs were well seasoned, they were overcooked to the point of being an omelette. The sourdough was also cold, I think it should've been lightly toasted. The salsa that was provided was also very bland, and probably could've been brought up to room temp (it was icy cold so it didn't complement the warm food). The blueberry buckwheat pancakes were also quite bland, and there definitely wasn't enough blueberry compote on them. The yogurt didn't complement the dish either, it would've benefited from some cream vs. the tang of the yogurt. The breakfast burrito was also pretty bland, and suffered the same issues with the salsa. Overall I think this place has a great vibe and solid service, but I don't think brunch is a strong suit. I'd certainly consider coming back for dinner, but won't be back for brunch. read more

Had a fantastic pre theater lunch at this gorgeous spot across from the theaters, with a beautiful interior, great shaded patio area, and a variety of delicious food options. We loved every bite and had the sweetest server who was attentive and friendly. Cannot wait to go back and make this my new routine whenever I have a show to see! Highly recommend everything we tried including the calamari, clam pasta, and steak frites! read more

Came here for lunch. Salmon tartare was "meh". Cod was excellent and would get again. Service was weird -- felt more like a fast casual experience where whoever is available stops by your table to help you, and felt uncoordinated. There aren't many options on Bunker Hill so I'm sure it's doing well, and I will return for that reason, but they might want to reconsider their hiring and training. read more

Fresh ingredients but I wasn't blown away by flavors or anything. Nice and big venue with good ambiance. Service was friendly and quick. read more

So glad this spot finally opened up! I came with my bosses and it was a great restaurant. We tried the meatballs to begin with- great choice. I had the Moroccan couscous royale - you get a taste of everything! All of the meats were perfectly cooked. The lamb was tender, and I particularly loved the chorizo. The couscous was a little dry for my taste, but this dish is HUGE and meant to be shared. I had like 3 meals out of it! One of my bosses tried the steak frites and the fries are honestly perfect show string fries. My other boss had the 8 hour lamb shank and he couldn't stop raving about how good it was. That's the dish I would get if we were to come back. Their tiramisu is a standout. Truly 9/10. The service was great, they were super attentive. They've done a great job with the restaurant, it's beautifully decorated. Let me tell you, the drinks are truly special. We tried the Harvest Moon which the bartender created himself - it's so good, we came back one night just to get more Harvest moons! It's so unique, I never would order it based off the description, but I loved loved loved it! read more

This place is a high-end restaurant right across of the Walt Disney Center and across of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. It is open now and hadn't been open for a while since it's brand new. The food is excellent. The service is quick authentic items on the menu. Check out the crispy artichokes and the various pizzas they have. The ambience is festive. This place is buzzing. It'll beat out all the restaurants and surrounding area. read more

I just left DTLA's newest "It Girl", Massilia. Great food, greater service and what ambiance! Wife had the Prosciutto Pizza and it was outstanding. I had the Tart Flambeu pizza and it was better than the the one I had in France, really it was. They have a full bar and I'll describe the vibe as California Cool. If going to the Disney Center, catching a show or the opera downtown you will not be disappointed stopping by here for a meal. Massilla is in the same block as the Conrad Hilton and there is a really cool gift shop attached to it. Go here and you will not be disappointed!!! read more

Had a great experience at Massilia. The space has a fun, breezy, swanky ambiance--très chic yet relaxed--making it a perfect spot for a night out in DTLA. The food was excellent. We especially loved the margherita pizza, fried artichokes, and the meatballs. Drinks were just as good--the Old Fashioned and the Sirraco were both fantastic. Délicieux! Service from Frances really stood out. He was incredibly hospitable, warm, and refreshingly unpretentious, which made the whole experience feel easy and welcoming--un service vraiment impeccable. It's also super convenient to both the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and the Walt Disney Concert Hall, making it the perfect place to grab dinner and drinks before the opera or a concert. On reviendra avec plaisir! read more

If you're looking for an escape from the DTLA hustle, Massilia is it. The design is stunning, high ceilings, incredible light, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow that makes you feel like you've been transported to the Mediterranean. It is easily one of the most beautiful spots in the city, hitting that perfect "chic but welcoming" note. Whether you're there for the drinks or just to soak in the atmosphere, the energy is spot on. It's a gorgeous space that I'll definitely be returning to! read more

Came with a friend before a show at the Ahmanson. The 10 min walk is convenient from the Music Center garage. We sat in the patio where we could see the Music Center, kiddy corner from the Conrad Hotel where Massilia is located on the first floor. We had the Niçoise salad, Salade Verte and Wagyu burger. Delicious and fresh! However, my friend who has allergies had specified her Salade Verte dressing on the side. The dressing was in the salad, was too oily for her, and she returned it. Plus, she didn't like the lettuce - better description of the ingredients was needed on the menu. My Niçoise salad was fresh and fine, but the amount of tuna was small. My friend ordered the Wagyu burger, flagged the server 2 minutes later to have her sauce on the side, but guess it was too late or the server was too busy bc the burger came back with sauce in the burger, so back into the kitchen it went. My friend was not asked how she wanted her burger which we thought odd, but luckily it was well done the way she liked it. Skinny fries were generous. We ordered the sour dough bread, but it arrived at 2 slices with seeds which my friend couldn't eat, so they were returned by another server. Check your bill! I paid everything, then my friend saw that the sourdough bread $4 for 2 slices was not taken off the list. $4 was returned by another person at the bar on my InKind app, but I have yet to see it and was told to contact InKind if I don't. Join InKind to get 20% off the bill. Nice ambiance, good service but needs better instructions on the order about items on the side and how we'd like a burger cooked. Because of the convenience to the Music Center, nice patio, reasonable prices, and good food, we'll be back! read more

We had a great pre theater lunch here and enjoyed our table outside on the patio. We shared the spanish meatball appetizer which was delicious and for mains I had the egg fritata bowl which was huge and filled with avocado and tomatoes and was the perfect lunch choice. My partner also had the nicoise salad and was equally happy. Really glad to find them and will make this our regular go to when ever attending a downtown event. read more

I'll start this by saying I really like their sister restaurant, Zinque, of which this shares a lot of the same menu. However this review is specifically for their pasta dishes. I ordered the bolognese, which tasted like pasta you get served at a public school cafeteria for lunch. Overcooked pasta. Tasteless, unseasoned, wattery sauce for a premium price. Didn't even finish it. A waste of money and a waste of calories. There is nothing worse than someone serving you bad food and charging you a lot for it. To the owner: you should be embarrassed to serve this kind of food in this city. You have a large enough menu where if something isn't working. Make it better or don't put it on. read more

Great space! Loved the open concept and outdoor feel. Cocktails were ok Food wasn't great (pizza was soggy, bread for meatballs was rock hard) Service left something to be desired (took us 20mins to flag a server down) You can order from your phone which is convenient but the prices don't seem to reflect happy hour pricing. I loved the attached store, we picked up some bottles of wine there. read more

I like this place, it's close to home. Great atmosphere, nice staff, and mostly decent service (food servers, please don't serve or clear plates by reaching across guests to get adjacent plates). However, the food has much to be desired. The 7 veggie couscous had a bunch of overcooked veggies on a small amount of couscous. The Nicoise salad had canned tuna; sorry, for the price and a place like this you'd better use fresh tuna. Calamari, soggyish. Come on Massila, step it up, please! read more

Decadent food, intimate ambiance, and attentive service. Perfect for a date or business dinner. The owners of Zinque opened this spot late Feb 26 and it has the quality of food comparable to Castaway's Burbank or Nobu, but for a more reasonable price (most items in $30-40 range). Definitely recommend! Pro tip: the entrance is through the store. read more

I got the bolognese and it was really good. Had the exact flavor I expect. Though the service kinda put us in the back and forgot about us LOL. Had to go up to the bar to get the check. We order focaccia too and it comes with like 2 or 3 pieces ?? Not nearly enough for a table. Was a nice dinner! Def one of the better spots in DTLA read more

Restaurant is nice, ambiance is good. Food was awful. Meatballs were extremely dry, calamari was bland and not crispy, steak frites was over cooked, unseasoned and looked awful on the plate, prawns dish was super bland. It's like the chef had never heard of salt. read more

Very friendly hostess, placed party of 8 in quiet room to aid conversations. Service good, ordered pizzas, pastas other dishes enjoyed by all. Great location for theaters. Will dine there again. read more

It's a pretty restaurant, but the food is not good. We had three entrees and none of it was good. The spicy tuna sandwhich is a crime against humanity, it's was so gross. It's canned tuna that was dripping in chili oil. The pizza we ordered was bland -- it's been a long time since I've had to ask for salt at a restaurant. We didn't even eat our salad it was so bad. The service was atrocious too, there were soooo many service mistakes with our food and zero timely corrections from our server. The only thing good about this place was the decor. There are so many good places to eat in DTLA, read more

The service and ambiance were 10s across the board!!! We were greeted and welcomed to sit anywhere. The set up is FABULOUS!!! They have talk tables, shorter tables booths I. The back for larger parties a bar top and patio. They have happy hour with a few drinks and pizzas. We didn't have a cocktail but we did enjoy the prawns dinner plate. Chefs kiss!!! That sauce is really good. It was seasoned well...light handed which is just what's needed for prawns. My only critique is I wish the prawn were not served in the shell because it was hard to get the shrimp without pieces of shell on the plate. But still chefs kiss!!! We then had the tiramisu. It was my cousins first time having the dessert and my millionth. lol. Another chefs kiss!!! This restaurant wasn't here this time last year when I was in the area. I hope it's still there next time. I will be back!!! YUMMY!!! My photos suck but the food was fab!!! read more

They forgot about our food and we had to tell them after an hour. They were wanting to take us out of the place and we had to remind them about that they hadn't brought our food. Food was good, it was a bit loud with music. It is rather strange that they sell clothes and items. read more

Had a reservation that we ran late for due to traffic. Called ahead and it wasn't a problem at all. Service started out great but we saw less and less of our waiter as time went on. We started with calamari which was very good (especially the sauce), there just wasn't a huge amount provided in the appetizer serving for 4 people. We had a lovely bottle of wine. The hangar steak was mediocre at best. No flavor to speak of, and both sauces added little to our enjoyment. The French fries were cooked nicely. My friend got an arugula salad and meatballs and stated that the latter was so-so, but the former was very good. We had to get to the theater and had trouble getting our dessert and after dinner drinks in a timely fashion. The afogado was very tasty and a nice ending to bring some hard sought flavor to an otherwise bland meal. read more

So this is my second time here and this time wasn't as good as the first time. When they first opened Service was amazing. The waiter was on top of it. but the service has really changed. We came for a happy hour and we only had one alcoholic drink for the whole time because the waiter did not check up on us at all and it wasn't even busy which made it worse. I recommend if you come to this restaurant sit at the bar you will probably get better service. The food however, was amazing. read more

The food was pretty good and it had a nice atmosphere. However, the wait time for our food was just unacceptable. The server who took our order was nowhere to be found for an hour after we ordered and someone else had to follow up on our order read more

Finally!!! A solid restaurant that is not over priced near Disney Concert Hall. Salmon was excellent, couscous dish terrific as was the ratatouille -service very attentive. We will definitely be coming back before concerts. It is a little noisy inside, but not too much of a distraction. There are so few choices in the area-with Patina, Otium and Astrid all closing, and that horrible Kendall's barely making it by (should really shut that one down), Massilia is a true stand out. Hope this restaurant succeeds. read more

I'm SO glad Massilia finally opened! I live just a block away and was really eager for a new place in the neighborhood. They opened last night. A group of neighbors went, thinking we'd cut them some slack because it was a soft opening. OMG! They knocked the cover off the ball! The service was excellent! The food was delicious! It's Moroccan/Mediterranean. We loved the cous cous, steak frites, appetizers, pasta...everything! They've also got a coffee bar for morning, with a lovely pastry case and grab n'go items. We went back tonight. Great cocktails and snacks. Couldn't recommend it more highly! Feel so lucky to have them as neighbors! read more

Wonderful menu with lots of different tastes. Terrific ambiance a very well trained wait staff. Our new go-to for the Music Center.
