French Restaurants near Redondo Beach, CA

“Food was excellent.. couple items came out we’re not hot.. would return & refer friends😬👍🏼“

“Our Sunday night takeout meal of Roasted Chicken and Cheese, corn and bacon macaroni gratin was delicious. Paired with a nice French white wine, it was almost as good as eating at the restaurant. Looking forward to future offerings.“

“Last night, I came to celebrate a friend’s birthday. It was my first time eating here, but it was AMAZING! I love Italian food and the best part is it was authentic! Adrien and Sacha (the owners), were sooo helpful and friendly. I LOVED their French accent! They were also very patient with us since we were a pretty big group (and loud). The ambience felt like I was in Paris, lighting not too dark, but not too bright. Very romantic! I LOVE that they are child and stroller friendly. Most restaurants won’t accommodate having a stroller which can be frustrating. I will definitely come here again for a date night with my hubby! Highly recommend!!!!“

“Run, don’t walk. A fabulous find in the south bay! As good as it gets outside of France. Maybe better.“

“My husband had the Filet Mignon, and I had the Tomato and Gruyère Tart. For starters, we had a delicious heirloom tomato salad, and ended with coffee and dessert. Everything was fresh and tasted great. We had a Pinot Noir with our meal, which was also delicious. Highly recommend!“

“I recently tried the pizza at Bonaparte Bistro, and I have to say it was one of the best I've had in a while! From the first bite, it was clear that they use top-quality ingredients and a lot of care in crafting their pizzas. The crust was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the right thickness – not too thin, not too doughy.

The sauce was rich and flavorful, with a hint of herbs that didn’t overpower the fresh tomato taste. They clearly know how to balance the sauce-to-cheese ratio, because every bite had the perfect amount of both. As for the toppings, they were fresh, generous, and well distributed.

The service was fantastic too—our pizza arrived hot and right on time, and the staff was friendly and attentive. It’s rare to find a place that nails every aspect, but really impressed me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a satisfying and delicious pizza experience!

I can’t wait to go back and try another specialty pizza. Five stars!“

“Delicious food and service riquísimo“

“Fabulous. Love the French Onion souop“

“I loved their smoked Gouda burger with the best sweet potato fries that I've ever had! Nice menu, something for everyone. Excellent cocktails, Slay's own wines, and always my favorite desserts at all of the David Slay restaurants. We couldn't stop moaning between bites of the seasonal pear almond tart! The apple berry crumble was sold out, otherwise we would have ordered both. Lively ambiance and neighborhood gem.“

“Fantastic food! Chef Hannes created a great menu for us.“

“My experience working with Joliet for a recent 50-person dinner event was absolutely stellar. From start to finish, the planning process was incredibly easy and stress-free.

First off, the venue itself is simply beautiful. Located inside Free Market at Runway Playa Vista, it offers a sophisticated yet comfortable atmosphere that was perfect for our group. Beyond the aesthetics, the owners are truly amazing. They were incredibly accommodating, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our event a success, including building a menu from scratch to fully meet our event needs. Their passion for what they do shines through in every interaction.

When it came to the evening's offerings, Joliet truly delivered! The dinner food was incredibly yummy, with a diverse and delicious menu that catered to various tastes and dietary needs. Our group raved about the quality and presentation of every dish. The open bar was also a huge hit, with a fantastic selection of cocktails and beverages that kept everyone in great spirits throughout the evening.

Finally, the day-of logistics were flawlessly executed. The team at Joliet handled every detail with professionalism and efficiency, from the dinner service flow to ensuring the bar ran smoothly, allowing us to relax and enjoy the event without a single worry.

I highly recommend Joliet to anyone planning a dinner event, big or small. Their stunning venue, amazing owners, easy planning process, delicious dinner and open bar, and impeccable day-of execution make them a top-tier choice for any occasion. We will absolutely be back for future events!

Thank you Alex and Olivia! You make such a positive impact on the Playa Vista community and the people who dine at your restaurant.“

“We found this gem of a place a little over a year ago. We try and go every weekend for our “brunch” favorites! We love the staff and Chef .. who are all “family”. The best food, with the nicest staff…and the ambiance isn’t too shabby either. It’s such a joy to go and eat there. Take your time, this is not the type of place you go to to “rush” your meal…“

“The food was really good“

“Delicious food and beautiful decor!“

“Coffee was okay, my hazelnut latte has a lot of milk than I prefer. But their hot cocoa was better. I recommend the apricot croissant, its sooo good!

They have savory breads and ice cream as well. Plenty of seating inside and even outside by the patio. Service was fast and friendly.“
