French Restaurants near Venice, CA

“Went to coucou with a friend to celebrate my birthday. This is on Main Street and there's parking on thr street and there's an underground parking lot on Navy with great service and a flat rate of $9/hr.

The place is small and I went around 6pm so right after happy hour so it was a bit loud but it calmed down after. There is a 3 for $33 deal that is pretty amazing for happy hour. Pretty much all the appetizers. You are allowed to pick 1 drink and 2 food items. I got the classic aperol, it had a little too much aperol for my taste but still good and refreshing.

We got the Zucchini bingets and they were tasty, cheesy. Almost like a fritter but not so much. Also got the fries as well. They were good.

I got the mussels marinere with the coconut cream sauce and honestly I love when places offer mussels in a different kind of sauce than just white wine and garlic. The toast was perfection. My friend got the grilled chicken Paillard and she liked it, came with a side of red sauce. I'll be back for the happy hour to try the apps with seafood. I didn't get w chance to since my friend doesn't eat it. They even gave me a the chocolate mousse with a candle.“

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

“My favorite place wonderful food, desserts and coffee“

“I have had many souffle in my life , I personally travel around the world trying the best of the best souffle . This far is the best I have ever had !“

“Excelente food with unbelievable service“

“En Petit Trois, la cocina habla por sí sola. Tanto la hamburguesa como el pescado destacan por una técnica precisa y una ejecución impecable, donde cada elemento está en perfecto equilibrio; dos platillos memorables, difíciles de jerarquizar. Aunque no fue posible degustar la coctelería debido a la política de requerir pasaporte físico para el servicio de alcohol, la propuesta gastronómica se sostiene con absoluta solidez. Una experiencia sobria, bien lograda y digna de repetirse.“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“Restaurant is beautifully designed. I loved the breakfast table setting. Genuine friendly greeting and service from Kevin was outstanding. My Croque Madame was delicious. Thank you chefs. Great job everyone.“

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

“An absolute gem and one of a kind dining experience. Go with the mind to slow down as you would if you were dining in Paris. There’s just so much to take in and enjoy. Event detail is so curated. Everything is exceptional, including the wines! Best Viognier I’ve ever had. Being there was a true escape from the city. I was sad to leave and will be back!“

“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.“

“It was our anniversary, as I had mentioned when making the reservation, and unfortunately, nobody even acknowledged it. It was quite disappointing and not a good feeling to have on such a special night. We also felt a bit forgotten between our appetizer and main course. By the time the main course arrived, we were both kind of over the experience, which was unfortunate. Nobody came by to check on us or ask if we wanted another drink. The atmosphere itself is beautiful, and I would recommend coming here for a regular night out, but based on our experience, I wouldn't recommend it for a special occasion.“

“I took my mom here while in town and hoped that Regalade would be a good choice. We ended up having an outstanding meal and even better service. The staff and our server (Sal, I think?) were so pleasant and attentive. Service is really important to us and I appreciated the warm hospitality very much.

Every dish we had was wonderful and we loved the creative flavor profiles of each dish. I had a crisp martini and loved every sip. We sat outside so I can’t speak for the indoor dining experience, but I loved being on the front patio. Recommend!“

“Always excellent food! Try their meals to go during social distancing“

“We had the Most Amazing Experience at La Monique. Exceptional Ambience, Food & Service.“

“I absolutely loved puzzle! The space itself was beautifully decorated from the plush seating to the disco ball that illuminated the dance floor. We experienced great food, great entertainment and great drinks! My FAVORITE part was the food, especially the fries. Hands down one of the best fries I’ve ever had. The service was phenomenal. The servers and bartenders were so kind and attentive! Lastly, shout out to chef Kevin and sous chef Brandon! Not only did they make delicious food, they also kept checking in on our group to make sure we were having a great time—which of course we were! Highly recommend this establishment.“

“We loved this place; delish food, great location and lovely Parisian vibe!“

The food was delicious— every dish was flavorful and beautifully presented. The staff were so attentive and friendly, making sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they care about creating a great experience for their guests. Highly recommend this spot — can’t wait to come back!“

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!!!!“

“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!“

“Food, service, and ambiance: well-deserved five stars. Try the brie and truffle baguette - it's finger-licking good. In general, I recommend ordering shareables like their charcuterie plate.“

“Delicious food and very friendly owners. My favorite breakfast place in town.“

“This was a top 3 culinary book experience of my life. Alex the owner is an incredible visionary. The pairings of food and drink was nothing short of amazing.

My wife and I came for our 3 year wedding anniversary, I didn’t know what to expect and we were completely blown away. If you see sandwiches on the menu and you’re like “hmmm that seems too casual for me” you. Couldn’t be more wrong, the food was some of the best I’ve had in a very very long time - the flavors, the combination.. all of it, OUTSTANDING. If you’re reading this and are curious about trying Joliet, just go! You won’t regret it!“

“My husband and I love coming here for a quiet and delicious breakfast. The omelette is perfection and the French toast is life changing. I almost don’t want to share because I love this little spot so much and I don’t want the LA brunch line but it’s too good not to share.“

“We were looking for a dessert place and thought of trying this one out. The place kind of tucked in. The crepe is quite pricy, but it is by the Grove. It was served fresh on a plate. They have a bar seating type. We may come back or try other desserts in the area.“
