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!“

“An unforgettable night thanks to the incredible staff, chef, and entire team at Merois! They made my husband’s birthday surprise absolutely perfect—a memory we’ll cherish forever. Huge gratitude to Wolfgang Puck for the outstanding food. Truly a fantastic evening!“

“First time solo customer; sat outside, and my breakfast was très bon! Served with grace, care, and pride. Every single ingredient was wonderful and cooked perfectly. All the flavors and textures commingled beautifully.
They can’t help it that the building next to them is boarded up. All the employees could not have been more pleasant and friendly. Definitely will return and bring friends. Oui, I recommend!“

“Love the dishes. House made pasta. Mussels Steamer. Beet salad. Escargots. Ham and sunny egg crepe. Bread with butter and olive oil. Blueberry cheese cake.
We also came back for coffee. It's a nice place with nice hosts.
I guess the only thing can be better is that bread could be on the house. It's a lunch time though. I would expect the dinner comes with bread.“

“Incredible restaurant! Loved the ambience, food, and service! My husband and I split the Shirley salad and I ordered the King salmon. So yummy! Love the Roosevelt Hotel! We took the subway from Universal so we wouldn't have to deal with parking. Perfect choice. Then saw Herb Alpert at the Dolby. Perfect dinner spot for Dolby- right across the street!! You must go here. You won't regret it!!“

“This was my second visit to Entre Nous French Bistro, and it absolutely confirmed what I felt the first time—this place is a hidden gem. We came yesterday to celebrate my sister’s birthday, and everything about the evening was simply perfect.

We were a party of five and shared a variety of dishes that showcased the kitchen’s finesse and authenticity. We started with the Daily Pick Oysters, which were impeccably fresh and beautifully presented. The Tartare de Saumon was bright and delicate, and the Escargots de Bourgogne were everything you’d hope for—garlicky, buttery, and so satisfying. The Homemade Duck Pâté was another standout—rich, rustic, and perfectly paired with fresh baguette slices.

For entrées, we had the Filet Mignon, Rack of Lamb, Magret de Canard, French Fries, and the Salmon special of the day. Every single dish was a hit. The meats were expertly cooked to temperature, the sauces were layered and flavorful, and the sides were just as impressive. Even the fries deserve a shoutout—crispy, golden, and addictive.

The service was warm, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. They made sure my sister felt celebrated, and we never once felt rushed. The ambiance is cozy and intimate, with just the right touch of French charm.

Entre Nous continues to impress, and it’s quickly becoming one of my favorite restaurants in town. Whether it’s a special occasion or just a night out, this bistro delivers every time. Already looking forward to visit number three!“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“I really despise when the restaurant is fairly empty and the host sits everyone in the same section. I’ve never worked in this industry so I'm not sure of the reasoning behind the practice. It always bothers me but today in particular because the groups of people who the host chose to seat by me were wearing the loudest perfumes/colognes that really assaulted my senses. I was dining alone and enjoying the quietude and there was still plenty of empty seats in other parts of the restaurant. Sigh… Next time I'll order take out.“

“Always fabulous. Great takeout, wonderful items for home or gift giving and just plain delightful to meet friends for coffee and a yummy muffin! ❤️👏🎶👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“"If you love French cuisine, then Madeline Garden Bistro & Venue is sure to please. The cuisine here is very authentic, delicious and makes the mouth feel enjoyable to the max."“

“La Poubelle is such a vibe. As soon as we walk in, it feels like we’ve stepped into a little corner of France. There are these gorgeous red lamps on every table, a b/w French movie playing in the background, and Edith Piaf’s voice floating through the speakers - seriously, it’s like time-traveling to Paris.
I tried their matcha drink (the one with the flower and mint on top) and it was sooo pretty - and actually really good. Light, a little earthy, and not too sweet. The coq au vin (hope I pronounced it correctly) was amazing. Super rich and flavorful - total comfort food but fancy. Every bite felt like something you’d get at a cozy French bistro. Honestly, between the food, the music, and the whole atmosphere, I kind of forgot I was still in LA. 9/10“

“sHarlowe has transformed its Old Hollywood venue into an exciting nightclub with a new stage for DJs hosted by Blind Tiger. Their pizzas are the best! They serve artisan, Neapolitan style pizzas with delicious ingredients made fresh to order. Highly recommend!“
