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!“

“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!“

“Excellents croissant français.“

“My favorite place wonderful food, desserts and coffee“

“$55 Three course meal select from 4 each Appetizer, main course and dessert. Great service, delicious 😋 food!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“Excellent food and service. Thank you!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“Excelente food with unbelievable service“

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

“The restaurant is very small, so expect cramped quarters and small tables. It’s very loud inside.
The staff are great and check on you periodically. The food was excellent. We ordered French onion soup, leeks for appetizer and a baguette. Our mains were roast duck and mushroom pasta. The pavlova dessert was disappointing. The meringue should be a little softer inside.“

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

“Absolutely loved Chez Mia, came here for a girls night and had the best time. The vibes were great — warm, welcoming, and full of energy. 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!“

“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.“

“overall had a great experience! amazing vibes in this place, and the food was AMAZING! highly recommend if you're looking for a nice place to eat and don't mind dropping a bit of money on it. the filet mignon was truly the best i've had, 100000% recommend that. dessert was incredible, literally nothing we ate was bad. if i could marry one of the chefs, i would.
service was okay, but they were very busy and it didn't bother me personally.“

“Amazing champagne and caviar tasting. Great experience!“

“Stopped here for lunch after an early flight in from Ohio. This feels just like a bistro in France (of which I have dined!). The decor and our excellent server Geane made it so. I greatly enjoyed a cold beer with the dry aged burger. My wife's Croque monsieur was huge and killer. We loved this spot, and would have eaten here again on our trip if there weren't so many great options in Hermosa Beach.“

“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!“

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

“Our favorite place to eat in the area. Not only a little piece of France, but truly delicious and authentic food. Prices are reasonable too.“

“Since they have introduced VEGAN soups, the delite of this has brought in many others besideS myself MORE OFTEN!

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the Truffle Caesar Salad and the Spicy Salami pizza 🍕“

“Whether you are in need of the best morning coffee and tasty sandwiches or pastries (to die for); mouth watering pizza evenings with a great classy cocktail; vegan platters, lobster rolls, line-dancing, salsa, house music…. Is there anything the amazing couple running Joliet (Alex and Olivia) cannot do, and do great!?? Come check for yourself but spoiler alert, the answer is No! Do NOT tell too many people about the speakeasy behind the coffee bar… open until 2am…“

“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.“

“Hidden gem in LA. Highly recommend. One of the best chicken sandwiches I’ve had, the flavor and spice is amazing.“

“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.“
