My husband, who’s French, and I have been to this restaurant a few times now and we love it. It’s really hard to find good French food in the states, especially food up to a Frenchman’s standards, but this place blew us away. I first saw the restaurant on the PBS show, “Mind of a Chef” on Netflix and I drug my husband there to give it a shot. He was skeptical at first but as soon as the escargot and bread came out, we knew we found our go to French food place. We go here on special occasions because it’s a little pricey but it’s so worth it. Worth the wait, worth the money, worth the small space. Everything is delicious and I highly recommend going there if you’re craving some unique and authentic French food. Thank you guys!
What an utterly charming experience! From the music to the decor and the staff, I could have sat there sampling one dish after another for hours. Wait.. I did that! One lovely tequila, lemongrass and coconut milk drink to start, 3 starters and 2 entees in the middle, and ended with one celebratory cup of yummy, chocolatey, pillowy heaven. Please...treat yourself!
I had a fabulous meal here , I chose the omelette and it was the best I have ever eaten. Service was excellent , and the wine list was good ! and the ambience lovely. I liked that it was small and intimate .
I heartily recommend it and will return.
I had the very delicious French onion soup with complimentary freshly made French bread. I had the house red wine which was a nice red blend. Service was excellent. They add 18% service fee. They do have a small selection for happy hour from 3-6. I walked there so didn't have to pay $7 parking. The restaurant is very small and fills up fast.
We went for lunch getting there about 20 min early. We were lucky enough to sit at the counter watching the kitchen. The food was amazing! We shared steak tartar, pate, the omelet and fries between 3 people for lunch. Truly fabulous- I'm glad we don't live too close because I would be here all the time for lunch!!
Wonderful food, the pate' tasked me back to Paris, food is very high quality
We were served off menu items and on menu items that blew my mind. The service was impeccable, and the food made me want to come back for more every day. Thank you for the lovely experience.
Great food. Best omelette in la. French soup is the best I ever had. Chocolate moose was great. Only negative- valet parking is 7 dollars.
Amazing is not enough to describe this food experience! The escargot is the best I've ever had, perfectly cooked and melt in your mouth amazing!
This is standard French bistro fare . . . done absolutely perfectly. I literally cannot make a trip to Los Angeles complete without making 1 (if not 2) stops here. As good as the food is, the atmosphere is my favorite thing about Petit Trois. A hole-in-the-wall from the outside, and marvelous blend of cozy and chic on the inside. Perfect as can be.
Delicious food, great petit hidden treasure in the neighborhood. Friendly staff.
Truly amazing! Today was my first experience at Petit Trois. We tries several dishes, all were spectacular. First if all, the bread is the best I've ever had. Then on to the chicken liver on toast. The taste was beyond description. The omelette...melts in your mouth. Leek salad and an amazing carrot dish. I will definitely be back.
You need to try everything on the menu. This place is a winner
Excellent food, cozy little place with great French music playing in the background and friendly service!! Great ambiance.
Food was amazing. Great service. We had a fun time sitting at the counter and watching the preparation of the food. I will definitely go back and try the burger as it looked awesome!
Wonderful place! Great food with fantastic service. The music was an interesting choice but didn't hinder the experience. Our server Benjamin helped elevate our night of celebration for our engagement. It was very fun to sit "court side" to the kitchen and watch all the dishes be prepared. We would definitely come back for a special celebration or if we are in the area.
LA legendary food critic Jonathan Gold (RIP) favorite. The menu is essentially the same, so is the high food quality. The good thing is now they take reservation and I was even able to get a last minute "table" on a busy Saturday evening and that really saved my day. This place is not for everyone because of the bar/deli style seat arrangement but I found it lively and great for people watching. Highly recommend.
The food was excellent and the service was great. The staff were all very friendly. It is very small inside but there are tables outside with heaters. It is a bit pricey, $26 for a bowl of soup.
This was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Los Angeles. The cocktails, food, and service surpassed my expectations. The cocktails were unique, agreat pour & well balanced. The baguette and butter are a must. Each entrée was delicious. I was drinking the sauce of the mussels. We had a dessert and Ma Chérie. Perfect ending to fantastic meal. Thank you,(both) Connor(s), Jeneé & Ben.
Once you enter the tiny French bar-style inspired restaurant the experience of open style kitchen as well as the hustle and bustle of the waiters and bus boys shuffling behind you, the eating experience is much more personalized and intimate. It’s a loud restaurant and not suitable for groups larger than 4 but the food all tasted very pristine. I’d highly recommend Petit Trois
Returned after a 10 year hiatus, it’s still a gem. The classics are nostalgic and comforting, and the service is exactly what I want when dining solo: welcoming but not overbearing. The French onion soup is outstanding, and bigger than it needs to be. The escargot is an excuse to drink garlic butter. It gets cosy at the bar, and the neighbours inevitable strike up a conversation, but all thoroughly enjoyable.

The moment I stepped into the door, I felt like I was back into a small French joint when I was in Paris. The counter top, bar top, sit on your jacket vibe is unforgettable, except for maybe Doja Cat in the back ground. It is tucked into a little corner on S. Highland Ave just passed the million dollar homes.
The meal was perfect, it was definitely one of the best French meals which I have had in my life, and I can count those with my fingers. For the cooking style, which is traditional French with a bit of twist, definitely blows out the ones in Chicago, and I have tried them all.
The escargot was cooked perfectly, in their shells, the way they should be cooked. The sauce is perfectly balanced, not overly garlicky, and you can taste the tender snails. It is also good for bread dipping obviously. The $25 French onion soup with veal broth is worth every cent, it is light and flavorful, the combination of gruyere and emmantal cheese added more depth without taking over the soup completely. The French Omelette was unbelievable. Most people don't understand what is the big deal about an Omelette, but only if you know what it takes to make a French Omelette, just from the simple egg beating process to the cooking process, it is an art form and the most basic test for a good French chef. The key is to keep the well done exterior with a silky texture but a half cooked semi interior and taste with just salt and pepper. The Boston lettuce on the side was a perfect compliment. The roast duck breasts on the other hand was tender and juicy, flavor explosion with the red wine fig and shallot confit.
We were to full to get to the dessert so we will just have to save more room next time. I would give this place 10 stars if I could.
For our first time here we had the “Holy trinity” as the waitress called it: Parisian omelette, onion soup and the Big Mec. We’re definitely coming back to try the full menu. Cocktails were also on point and service was great including the kitchen staff 😊

Classically French eats in a buzzing atmosphere - either you're inside seated along a wall, or you're outside on the parking lot patio. No matter what, you'll be surrounded by many other diners (so be sure to make reservations) and served by attentive and polite staff.
The food is pricey but fantastic. I've never had such an interestingly plated burger as the Big Mec. The Croque Madame was perfectly prepared, and everything else looked great as well. Hopefully I save space for the French onion soup or pastries next time.
Lots of aperitifs and spritzes are also on hand, and of course French wine. Street parking wasn't too bad and there's also a small lot.
Food came out to $60 per person for 2 entrees and 2 drinks. Quick note, they add an 18% service charge you cannot opt out of. They say it is to help pay fair wages and it is not a tip, and they leave it (perhaps deliberately) a little unclear as to whether you're expected to tip a whole other 18%, just a few percent more, or nothing at all.
Overall we enjoyed our experience!
OMG the omelette!! I went to this place just to try it and let me tell you , was much better that I thought. Definitely it’s a must. The moment you stopped into the door , can feel like you are in France . This place is a gem.
I went for their legendary burger and French onion soup and they were among the best I ever had! Highly recommended
This little place in our neighborhood has all you want in a restaurant...unforgettable attention, delightful service and delicious food. Connor greeted us at our patio table with a very interestingly named doggie martini (water dish) for our furry friend and Michael helped us through the menu and provided 5 star service the entire night. The food (don't let the French theme dissuade you) was perfectly done (the Big Mec) and tasted even better!! We were over the top perfectly happy with our dinner and were tempted for dessert but decided against it...when out of nowhere Connor showed up with a complimentary dessert ( of course the one we were tempted to pick) and that gesture just sealed the 5star plus review for this quaint gem of a restaurant. Reservations are required and pets are welcome on the patio. Spoil yourself and pay a visit - you too will become a huge fan.
One of my favorites in Los Angeles and always the first restaurant I head to when I arrive. It’s a jewel of a spot in the heart of the city with outstanding French food. I love their Dover Sole, Hamburgers and fries and omelets.
Their burger is like a French Kiss: you didn't really know decadence until you tried it. The rest of the menu is simple and solid French bistro food, but Le Big Mec remains the star of the show. The setting is basic - a little patio on a parking lot and inside a row of high stools facing the wall. The vibe is great though and the staff is super friendly. Limited but excellent choice of wine, some decent cocktails, and incredible digestifs like this Mezcal from a world where agaves are sentient beings, and this Sfumato that tastes like your grandpa's old leather armchair. Don't miss out on this LA institution (the restaurant, not your grandpa's armchair).
Delicious! Fun and buzzing atmosphere!
Ordered onion soup, celery mint salad, trout almandine, pesto pasta, 2 mocktails! More than enough for 2 people
Great service and great action in the kitchen. People look happy working here too
Classic French bistro food. Service was great and really enjoyed our meal. I had the steak frites, my daughter had the croque madame, and started with the escargots which were delicious. My other daughter had the omelet which wss fluffy and beautiful. The desserts were amazing. The meal was so reminiscent of meals I've had in France. Although I'd say this is a bit pricier but still very good.
