The best French cuisine restaurants Los Angeles

A.O.C. is the second establishment opened by chef Suzanne Goin and sommelier Caroline Styne, a talented duo. Suzanne Goin, who studied with some of the world's greatest chefs, prepares an inventive cuisine with Mediterranean influences, flavored with spices from around the world. As for her, her partner has elaborated a wine list that has won several awards and presents a hundred references. A special feature is the wood-fired oven in which the delicious black rice with squid and the brioche with prosciutto and Gruyere cheese - among others - are cooked.

We would like all neighbourhood restaurants to be so refined. The menu is inspired by the Santa Monica farmer market and changes every month. The list of wines has been carefully designed, but the price is paid. Artisanales beer also has their sommelier, which is why it is just as impossible to choose at the time of order. Here, everything is organic and everything is good!

Michael McCarty opened this restaurant on his behalf in 1979; it then influences Californian cuisine and becomes the leader of the fusion movement. He was among those who popularized the alliance of goat cheese with arugula and caramelized onions. He is also among the first to have deign taken California's wines seriously. Today Michael seems to have remained stuck in his golden age. A small lifting of the menu would not hurt anyone. The breakfast on its terrace is simply a necessity. Artists, writers, actors and all those who can afford it come here.

A family business of which Joan is the boss. This child of Czech immigrants grew up in New Jersey before going to Manhattan for cooking classes. She opened her own cooking school and first restaurant there before flying to the West Coast in the 1970s. Its current establishment, which opened in 1995, has since grown steadily. Joan On Third is now more than ever a trendy address that is constantly reinventing itself, and it is also a major caterer in Los Angeles. Another address has opened in the Studio City area.

With his old zinc counter, it looks like the Figaro is straight out of the beautiful quarters of Paris… Madonna even turned a clip to Louis Vuitton in 2009. Los Angeles is a real culinary paradise mixing all the influences of Asian, Mexican and American traditions, so we don't recommend that you throw yourself on a fried chat; but if you have a sudden envy of Burgundy snails or marinative mussels, this restaurant will be all right. The hotel is held by a Frenchman and offers typical cuisine from home, without falling into the clichés. The chocolate soufflé is divine; during happy hours, you can sip kir, wine or small aperitifs from 5 US $ unity.

This fine address opened its doors in 1981 in the lively Sunset Plaza district. Le Petit Four's success is due in part to its charm, which is comparable to that of a brasserie in the south of France. Its eclectic Mediterranean cuisine includes a wide variety of salads, meats, fish and pastas, as well as a few pizzas and vegetarian dishes. From Napoleon to cheesecake, from saint-honoré to tarte Tatin, the desserts are an admirable blend of French pastry expertise and American gourmandise.
