French Restaurants near Venice, CA

“Came here yesterday and generally enjoyed our experience. The ambiance is nice and artful. The service was prompt and kind. The food itself was all good but nothing extraordinary. My favorite dish was the fennel. The straus soft serve dessert was good but a little bit overhyped (I hate to say it)…“

“Wonderful atmosphere! My favorite place for breakfast. Staff are amazing and so friendly. They make you feel right at home!“

“I slept one night at this hostel. The price is excellent and the location is REALLY PERFECT. It is a mixed dorm with approximately 15 beds. The people were very respectful and calm. Thanks to Orlando who welcomed me very greatly. Nice guy and very nice landlord. Thanks Carlos! See you soon!“

“We had an awesome date night at Amour WeHo. We started with caviar, escargot, and frog legs. We followed that with the burger and a Caesar salad with lobster. We enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our dinner. The service was outstanding. All of the staff was great. This was our first visit and we are so happy that we found this place. We will be back soon.“

“A very authentic French restaurant. I like the food there.“

“Great service, fantastic food and presentation. Great live music. Was a great experience!“

“Quality of food was excellent- lamb, chicken & risotto as mains. All starters great too - oysters, endive salad & sliced amberjack.
Service could be improved but we were struck given how most good restaurants in LA are super crowded how this excellent place was but half full on a Wednesday night. Our party included those from Korea Town - 20 minutes & Santa Monica - 30 minutes at rush hour- 6:45 - not bad.“

“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!“

“Seriously what a CUTE restaurant. For the ladies who love a gorgeous outdoor patio with delicious food and ambience, this is your spot! Be prepared to spend as this is a refined establishment despite the garden atmosphere. Everything we purchased was delectable, and although it was simple they have great wine selection. I will definitely be back! They also have valet so you don’t need to worry about parking.“

“Since they have introduced VEGAN soups, the delite of this has brought in many others besideS myself MORE OFTEN! They started a few weeks ago with a potato porage type soup which was so delicious, we had hard time not ordering more...the second vegan soup was one with garbanzo beans with other really delicious quality CONTENTS & taste. "PLEASE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK"...Great Now!!!!“

“I attended the Harvard Extended event at The Culver Hotel and had a great time!“

“Fabulous. Love the French Onion souop“

“Excellent coffee drinks, food and desserts. The atmosphere is exactly what we were looking for. Clean and inviting with indoor and outdoor seating. My Aunt is not a coffee connoisseur and she ordered a coffee drink that was not really what she should of ordered. The lady working here asked her how she likes her coffee and remade one for free that was exactly what my Aunt really wanted. Customer service that goes above and beyond. A++ in every facet!“

“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!“

“I love Simonette. The patio is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a cocktail and breakfast, lunch, or brunch. I’ve been there twice now and I can highly recommend the burger on the menu - the fried egg on top completes it! And the mussels in the light cream sauce are wonderful - especially with fries. A friend of mine ordered the fried Bronzino - the complete fish including the head - and she said it was delicious. There are great cocktails available and several wines and Prosecco available by the glass. The onsite valet parking is a bit steep, but there are many nearby options for parking in downtown Culver City if you don’t mind walking a few blocks.“

“The Little Door is hands down one of my favorite night spots in LA. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful with fairy lights, cozy corners, and the most romantic vibes. It’s the perfect setting for a date night or a special evening out.

The food was incredible. I highly recommend the steak and the chicken with broccoli — both were cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.

Service was great, and everything about the evening just felt relaxed yet special. I’ll definitely be coming back. A hidden gem that completely lives up to the hype!“

“Delicious food and service riquísimo“

“The food was great. The owner is very friendly & pleasant to talk with 😄😘😘“

“I recently dined at Fête Bistro by Slay, and their burger was a standout! Perfectly cooked, juicy, and bursting with flavor, the patty had a great char while staying tender inside. Fresh toppings and a toasted bun made every bite delicious—one of the best burgers I’ve had.
The service was fantastic—warm, attentive staff who made the meal feel special without hovering. Food came out fast and hot. The ambience was cozy yet lively, with soft lighting, stylish decor, and just-right background music.
Fête Bistro by Slay nails food, service, and vibe. Can’t wait to go back!“

“The chef's restaurant is upscale but cozy, with only 5 tables, all across from the open air kitchen. The chef and waiter collaborate to serve you each dish, telling you the ingredients that go into each dish... like little stories. Such a special experience!“

“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.“

“Laduree Famous for its Macaron recipe.
The aroma & sweet when it melts in your mouth, how can you describe it in words as you taste it yourself?

Famous for being the creator of macarons.
The sweet, gentle aroma melts in your mouth. You can't find any words to describe it as you taste it when you eat it yourself.“

“Utterly delightful. I visited Beverly Hills for 4 days and just wish I had a Wally's at home in Switzerland.

The team were nothing short of excellent from the moment we arrived.

The wine list is amazing and incredible value with some hidden gems.

Illya Haase is a true gentleman who very kindly organised for my wine to be opened and decanted before our arrival at my designated time.

The food was excellent and the whole experience was wonderful.

I will be returning and Wally's will be my first booking.

If you love wine, charcuterie and cheese I am not sure you can find a better venue.

Highly recommended.

Thank you!“
