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!“

“Excellents croissant français.“

“Loupiotte Kitchen was a dreamy French cafe. Their creamy polenta was rich and comforting. The brioche French toast, topped with citrus, berries, and cream was pure joy. The soft French music also added to the cozy vibe. Definitely a must for anyone who loves breakfast done with elegance and heart.“

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

“Los Feliz in California is a must and Figaro must be included! This is a wonderful unassuming French restaurant, very traditional French cuisine. Get the Moules Marinieres! They give you so many mussels and the fries were delicious! My only issue is that they don't serve bread to dip in the broth and I had to ask for a spoon. There was no way I was going to leave that delicious broth, well seasoned with rosemary! The Kir Royal was standard. Their desserts were also delicious. Had the millefeuille (Napoleon) and took home the bread pudding. The millefeuille was creamy and not overly sweet. The bread pudding was a very large portion that could be divided easily into two servings. My friend had the macarons. She said the pistachio was the best she had ever tasted. Service was pleasant. Dining was in old leather cushioned chairs, a little low and hard to prevent your bag from being on the floor. There are options to sit at other tables with bistro chairs Looking forward to returning to this restaurant!“

“This place is a real gem. The bruschetta was absolutely incredible. The scratch-made pasta was delicious, and they have arguably the best tiramisu I've ever had. The service was friendly and relaxed, making it a great spot for any occasion. If you're craving tasty Italian food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Great food and excellent service“

“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.“

“Everything so delicious, and owners so nice“

“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!“

“"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."“

“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!“

“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! ❤️👏🎶👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
