French Restaurants near Bell, CA

“Se los recomiendo muy rica comida y los meseros muy atentos 👍“

“I had breakfast and my friend had lunch. I ordered a la carte a pancake, egg and bacon. The egg was not cooked the way I liked it (even after I was specific with my order) and by the time I was bought another I was over it. The bacon was made properly so it was good along with the pancake however, the syrup had a strange taste. Overall, I was displeased as my food was cold and we all know breakfast food is better nice and hot. My friend had the BLT and that was actually very good (I did taste it) so I recommend the it. Though he was nice, I could tell my server was overwhelmed as it was hard to get his attention when needed. Though it was decent, there are things that need to be improved. Also, this place isn't very big so make a reservation as walking in could possibly have you waiting a long time for a table or put you at the bar.“

“Great high quality food and service“

“You have to go to l'Appart by Air Food to experience a delicious French bistrot ambiance. The ambiance outside is very friendly, covid-safe and cosy. The dishes are beyond delicious. Yesterday I had the Plat du Jour with delicious scallops and home made very tasty mash potato puree. The plate are so beautifully presented - it is a pleasure to look. The desserts were delicious as well. There is a shade that separates the table from the streets for privacy. Free parking in the corner street. Brigitte the waitress is very welcoming and the owner / chef are beyond nice. An address to discover !“

“Nice romantic atmosphere which you can actually hear others talk to you. Deep fried whole catfish is a spectacular dish! Great attentive service by staff.“

“Coffee is better than Starbucks. Variety choices of desserts was fun“

“MY GOD!! I wish i could fully describe our experience here! We went for my partners 30th birthday l. The staff were beyond hospitable. If you’re looking for a restaurant where the atmosphere is amazing. Food is 10/10 but the servers really treat you like you are in their home this is the place. I wish I could rate them more stars. Plus they sent us home with some fresh fruit from their trees.“

“The appetizers were great, escargot was the star of the day. Love the garlic parsley butter sauce that came with it.

Entrees were decent. Had the 1/2 roasted chicken which was amazing. The filet mignon was pretty moyen (mid). We paid an extra $5 upgrade for truffle fries, but they were really soggy and underseasoned. Recommend heavily salting the steak and fries before you eat.

The bread basket was bad. Expected fresh bread, but they were really crusty and burnt. Dissapointing for a french bistrot.

Overall, the environment was a 5/5 but as a foodie, I can only give the food at most a 3/5.“

“I had Japanese breakfast w/ miso black cod, it was tasty.“

“A small French style brunch that has a cozy vibe. Good service and food was also good. And our coffee was also good! We went on a weekday so it wasn’t packed. There are outdoor seat and indoor seat. The only thing to me was table were so close to each other.“

“As a long time resident of DTLA, this place is our go-to spot for a good food and drink brunch! Takes the searing and guessing out and we know we can always count on Zinque and more importantly their staff to take care of us! I must highlight Saturday and Sundays during the day, you have to drop in while Ramirez is working. He makes every visit here feel like we’re family! He always has a positive vibe, is welcoming, and he’s probably the biggest reason we come back! Thanks for always giving the vibez Zinque and Ramirez!“

“This place is so great I love their crapes Breakfast!!! Their service is always on point.👍💜🤗💜🤗🥰🥰“

“Le Comptoir offers an exceptional and memorable dining experience with a strong focus on quality, creativity, and detail. The atmosphere is intimate, refined, and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect setting for a special meal. Every dish was beautifully presented and carefully crafted, showcasing fresh ingredients and well-balanced flavors. The tasting experience felt unique and well curated from start to finish. The staff was professional, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive, which made the service feel smooth and personal. I really appreciated the attention to detail in both the food and overall experience. Le Comptoir stands out as a place for those who appreciate elevated cuisine and a thoughtfully executed dining experience. I would highly recommend it and would gladly return.:::“

“Bravo Chef Bruno makes fabulous food.. Excellent service 🤩“

“I picked up a pack of 18 wings for a potluck and they were huge hit with the group! Half lemon pepper and half garlic parm. The wings were juicy and the flavors were great. I also like how the order came with sauce and veggie sticks included. I'll definitely be ordering wings from here again.“

“The chicken liver toast was great. Only two bites per order.
Note: Portion sizes are small.

Everyone else got three slices for their peckin duck, and we only got two, that felt odd. And not big slices either. Definitely sus.

Their weakness is the dessert menu. It was too easy to skip.

Overall it was good, quite pricy, but you won’t experience this menu elsewhere and I appreciate that.“

“My third time there, brought a group this time. They throughly enjoyed themselves!
The atmosphere, the student workers & loved the selection of foods. We shared tasting and raved about the tastes, preparation, presentation and creative mixing. What a fabulous place to dine!!“

“I love this place.
The tartar is the BEST!! I love the aesthetic atmosphere, french vibe, and the food!!!! Of course the service was great too, we felt too cold by the window and they accommodate us in the middle immediately.
Highly recommended as people recommend on instagram.“

“ADDISON WAS THE BEST PART! His energy and attention to detail really made our experience worth while! If you go, ask for him ☺️“

“Garson de Cafe is very Chic . Beautiful decor and fantastic customer service. I highly recommend this place to everyone.“

“Hidden gem for classic French food in Rosemead 🇫🇷

La Vie Restaurant has been a family-owned mom-and-pop restaurant for over 30 years, and you can definitely feel the old-school charm the moment you walk in. The decor may not be modern or trendy, but the food is comforting, reasonably priced, and gives that nostalgic neighborhood French restaurant vibe.

One thing I really appreciated is that the main entrée comes with soup of the day, a simple salad, bread, and coffee — hard to find that kind of full-course experience nowadays.

We started with the escargot and it was honestly the highlight for me 🐌 The garlic butter and herbs were so flavorful, and dipping the warm bread into the sauce made it even better.

🥣 Le Potage du Jour – Split Pea Soup
🐌 Les Escargots de Bourgogne – Snails, Garlic Butter & Herbs
🦆 Le Canard au Grand Marnier – Roast Duckling with Orange Sauce
🐑 La Carré D’Agneau Bergerie – Roast Rack of Lamb with Garlic Crust
🥧 Soufflé au Grand Marnier

The lamb and duck were decent and nicely portioned, though next time I’d probably explore some of their other dishes. The Grand Marnier soufflé was a nice sweet finish to end the meal.

They also have their own parking lot, which is always a plus in this area. Just note they’re only open Thursday–Sunday after 5pm, and reservations are definitely recommended since seating is limited.“

“Really enjoyed the crepes here, especially the mix of sweet and savory options. The crepe was warm, nicely filled, and didn’t feel overly heavy. Service was friendly and the place has a cozy vibe for a quick sit down. Just a bit of a wait during busy times, but still worth it.“

“5 stars for the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had.

Yes, you read that right. Best cheeseburger at a Hibachi place nonetheless!

2 colleagues also got it and they placed it in their top 3.

Overall the meal was fun, entertaining and unique. Would definitely return…and get the cheeseburger 🍔“

“Delicious, unique, delicacies and one of a kind gifts“
