French Restaurants near La Crescenta Montrose, CA

“We happened upon this delicious little gem, in Montrose, after viewing the immersive Van Gogh exhibit in Hollywood. Incredibly… the decor was all Van Gogh art prints! Perfectly in tun with our afternoon. The French owner is an absolute delight. We ordered a Moroccan chicken dish and beef bourguignon. The portions were very hearty and absolutely delicious. We also upgraded our dinner to include salad and a lovely blueberry tart for dessert. The entire experience was memorable! We’ll definitely be back and bringing friends!“

“The best French food in LA. Chef is outstanding. Staff incredible. So yourself a favor. Go.“

“The owner is incredible. She is lovely, and more often than not is there making everything happen. The atmosphere is cozy, beautiful and delightful with limited outdoor options. There is a room in the back for a larger group, but without that its great for parties of 2-3. The soft scrambled eggs are insanely delicious. A great spot for a European feeling.“

“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.“

“Beautiful and delicious Bistro with great atmosphere, amazing food and wonderful service! I am coming here every time I’m In LA and always have the best experience!!! Mussels are one of the best I’ve had in a while, prices are great and Marianne who was taking care of our table was so friendly, helpful and sweet. It was a pleasure and I highly recommend this restaurant for good food and good time:)“

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

“Beyond the great quality pastries and food, Andrew was nothing but welcoming, helpful and sweet, so much so - I thought he was the owner of this place! It's so nice to experience someone who genuinely cares about the offered products and place.“

“We loved this place; delish food, great location and lovely Parisian vibe!“

“I never make reviews, but I love this place so much that I want to make sure it gets the traffic it deserves. The pastries are amazing (and I have tried many places - I am French in LA struggling to find it). Lattes are on par. A must go when in Montrose.
Pastries and drinks are on the expensive side, compared to a chain like Peets and so on, but matches the quality, and I have seen more expensive for less quality.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“Harlowe turned into a fun night out with friends for us. A bunch of us had gotten together after many years without seeing each other. This restaurant/bar/club was the perfect setting for an epic night. The drinks and the service were absolutely awesome!“

“A wonderful classic Hollywood space, updated but true to its origins. I figured the food should be pretty good. Wrong! The food was really really excellent!!! A remarkably richly flavored duck breast, among the tenderest I’ve ever had. I had duck breast the next day at a Michelin-starred restaurant a mile or so to the south, and this was better. Yes, I like duck. Creative and beautifully prepared appetizers. Friendly and natural service.
Another well-known and excellent LA chef had this space for a while, and I’m amazed that the this new restaurant and new chef are appreciably better.“

“The breakfast burritos are HUGE and SUPER tasty! We ordered a bacon burrito and a halal beef burrito. The bacon was smokey and cut thick, the halal beef was seasoned very well! Fluffy potatoes, excellent house sauce, they cook it fresh and it's worth the wait!“

“Incredible bakery, everything is fresh and of high quality, I really liked the French atmosphere, it represents my country well. they also opened a french restaurant, and it was really very very good, both the dishes and the deserts.“

“Absolutely top tier French cuisine. The escargot were fantastic and so flavorful. The interior is wonderfully designed and has a great ambiance. The service is fantastic and everyone is very friendly and helpful. The perfect spot for a date night, it is dimly lit and very intimate. Incredible experience.“

“What a gem in South Pasadena, Ca. Sandwich and a cup of coffee made my afternoon.Nice selection of french import products displayed for sale as well. I took home two bags of excellent French salt for my cooking needs.I will return when in town.Great job guys.“

“Lots of seating, great atmosphere, everyone was nice and the water station they have set up is much appreciated. The portions are just right, so you won't leave hungry. Love the coffee options. Very family friendly. We had a party of 10 and they did a fabulous job putting out the food, great staff. Unfortunately, the parking situation is bad. We drove around for about 25 minutes to find a place to park. Absolutely worth it though!

Kid-friendliness: Very family friendly.“

“Absolutely blast at this place. Definitely try The Tin Man's Tea cocktail. Chef's Kiss from Topher's new menu. Our server Shawn knocked it out of the park. Super attentive but also gave us space to chat in between cocktails. He was personable, funny and I would go so far as to say we would exclusively request for him to our server. Sarah was amazing as well. We will definitely return.“
