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!

Easy to park during lunchtime. Extensive menu indeed, from the main starters, main menu, wine list and desserts. Love the colonial 1950's deco. Feels like a blast from the past.Perfect place to spend a lazy Sunday Afternoon , sipping white wine with good company either with friends or lives ones! Oh yes the mussels, onion soup, tuna steak salad and pasta truffle was so good too.

Lovely and lively place to spend the afternoon! The burrata and French fries are to die for! They’ll ice any teas for a summer escape on Vermont St. Service was excellent. Bustling with an interesting and fun crowd. Totally worth a drive to check out!

I’m French living in the US and this is not good french food. The coq au vin was basically chicken with gravy, nothing like the french dish it claims to be. The Malbec tasted like vinegar. On the upside, our waitress was very nice.

This French restaurant is such a hidden gem! The vibe is amazing — cozy, romantic, and the European-style interior makes you feel like you’re on a little getaway in France.

We tried the escargot and mussels to start, and both were really delicious. The escargot was buttery and flavorful, and the mussels were super fresh and cooked just right.

But the highlight for me was the truffle mushroom pasta — seriously, you have to try it. So rich and full of flavor without being too heavy. One of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a while.

We also had the quinoa salad and steak salad, and both were fantastic. Super fresh, well-balanced, and honestly great options for vegetarians too (especially the quinoa one).

On top of all that, the staff were awesome — friendly, attentive, and had a great sense of timing. You can tell they really care about making sure you have a great experience.

Highly recommend this spot if you’re looking for a place with great food, lovely atmosphere, and top-notch service. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We were three ladies visiting from OC, and this place had been on our list for a while since it’s known as a local hotspot. We heard great things about the French onion soup—two people recommended it—and now we totally understand why! It was rich, flavorful, and absolutely comforting.

We got a cozy corner seat inside, and to our surprise, it turned out to be a perfect photo spot—no wonder this place is known as an Instagram-worthy restaurant.

We ordered a variety of dishes: Escargot, Mussels, Salmon Benedict, Truffle Pasta, and Steak Salad

Our absolute favorite was the truffle pasta—so aromatic and delicious. The salmon benedict also stood out for keeping the true flavor of the salmon while still being tender and well-prepared.

And the French fries… we didn’t expect much, but they were light, crispy, and not greasy at all. Even though we were full, we couldn’t stop eating them!

We were too full to try dessert, which we truly regretted.
Service was also excellent—staff were friendly and knowledgeable, explaining each dish clearly.

Overall, this place deserves its hype: great food, aesthetic vibes, and kind service. Highly recommended!

I've been to Figaro so many times as it's one of the most charming restaurants in my neighborhood. I went here yesterday for brunch with two of my friends, who one of which is going through a tough time in her personal life. She was crying when our server, Ivan, came over. I think most servers would shy away from engaging with emotional guests, but he brought her tissues and provided such an amazing service. He joked with us and made her feel cared about. Honestly, I'm so glad we picked Figaro for our brunch because Ivan was the perfect person to share our afternoon with. What a wonderful server! We loved him.

Visiting from Boston MA. My friend lives near by and said she loves it and comes every week. I got a grilled chicken Caesar salad. We ordered the Garlic Truffle fries. She got the spinach quiche. Everything was so good and so fresh. We sat in the lounge side. Very very cute. Highly recommended.

Great experience at this French Bistro reminded me of a Parisian bistro with the lighting, the seating, the food and the service. The onion soup was pretty great as was my beef bourguignon very tender and delicious although the fettuccini lacked flavor. The soufflé was a great sweet treat to end my night.
