French Restaurants near Downey, CA

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

“The design and layout are very nice. it feels like you are eating in the past. The restaurant is on the ground floor of a hotel. There's no parking lot and some street. Valet parking not sure of what the price is. Ordered the chilaquiles, very tasty. It's not spicy and a bit strong on lime flavor but still hits the spot. French toast is amazing, and you can ask for topping on the side. Staff is extremely friendly. Borderline closer to 5 stars, but parking and no A/C is the only limitation but very good place.“

“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 !“

“Oh my, I almost don't want to let people know about this place, but I hope we will always have a spot.

Everything on the menu is of great quality and made with expert culinary techniques.

The wine list does not have any California wines, which is refreshing.

This was our second time, and one of many more to come. We have tried: the mussels, the vegetable stew, taboule, calamari, steak frites, chicken tagine, and the apple tarte.

Matti is great at pairing wines with the food.

Lastly, the music is great 👍.“

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

“Delicious food in an energetic environment. The pluses: Fun riffs on classic French dishes, reimagined with a Japanese overtone; notable items - Croque Madame, Duck Frites, Decibel Martini , gentle corkage. But the negatives: The "turn this table'" approach to service, with the next dish arriving before you finish the one before (very typical of Arts District restaurants, sadly), and absurd price/quantity relationships. The $70 Duck Frites was a batch of fries, a few roasted vegetables, and three 3" strips of (admittedly delicious) boneless duck. Two quarter-sized uni toasts for $28. A couple dozen clams in a excellent broth, with toast and lobster butter (subbing for bouillabaisse and rouile) was $27. I'm not going back anytime soon, though I doubt they'll notice.“

“Great food! Great service!“

“Our waitress was so helpful, friendly, intuitive and just cool! The food was too good.. like... “need to eat and chill here more so we can try everything” kind of good. The atmosphere was ROMANTIC. Like, modern yet timeless romantic. I felt like I was in a French dream. Best date night place in LA. For sure.“

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

“Wonderful atmosphere and absolutely delicious food!“

“Best meal we had in the States!!
Perfect balance between tastes, wonderful service, and nice chill atmosphere. We had such an amazing time and delicious food! Don't miss the burata, prosciutto fruit salad!
Very much recommended!!!“

“La vie will definitely exceed your expectations being that it is a small unassuming restaurant in the not so boosie edge of South San Gabriel. Delicious escargo and a wide variety of desserts. My favorite the fresh fruit sabyon have sadly taken off the menu for some reason. The vietnamese family that owns it takes great pride in they're cooking and Mastered the art in France. The newer heavyset hostess guy (sorry if i misused the pronoun) is kinda rude and Absolutely dreaded and contested my cash payment due to the pandemic.“

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

“Everything was fantastic from the food & drinks, to the service, to the ambiance & music. We absolutely loved everything. Ally & Noah were absolutely amazing! The entire staff was so accommodating and kind! Definitely going to be back!“

“Teresa our server was very attentive to us and we enjoyed the food and the service.“

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

“This is my third returning to Maison Kasai and decided to keep it simple and relax by the bar. A perfect spot to unwind as I enjoyed a new selection of craft cocktails that impressed me with their unique flavors. The food was just from the Starters and the scallops were exquisite. Will be coming back again for another relaxing evening.“

“The attention to detail in both presentation and flavor is remarkable, making each dish a true work of art. The staff is attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply looking to indulge in a memorable meal, Le Petite Paris is sure to impress!“
