“ Cozy spot, nice folks, and a lovely happy hour! ”
“ Everything was great! Was pretty cold though even inside so bring a jacket food was delicious! ”
“ My son had his video premier at La Poubelle!! It was a fantastic turn out and the staff didnt miss a beat! Super accommodating !! Food and drink above board and atmosphere made the whole event memorable! Highly recommend! ”
“ This place is SO charming right along with its owner Francois! The food is INCREDIBLE and youll have trouble putting the fork down! Trevor and the rest of the staff we encountered were super helpful and kind. They used to make you order from a QR code but they are offering old school service or that option is still available too! We chose to have a server and enjoyed our conversation, the ambiance, the food , and Francois is the most precious man ever go support his business! Merci beaucoup! ”
“ I live in the neighborhood and have been coming in once every few months for several years. Ive always had a nice time here whether solo, on a date, or with a bunch of friends. Theyre extremely dog friendly which I love, and the bartenders make a solid drink. I wish theyd nix the whole QR code thing, but aside from that I dont have a single complaint. ”
“ I love French cuisine so a Bistro on Franklin Avenue with a good reputation is an easy sell to me. Tonight we dined outside and I really like being able to sit and watch all the foot and car traffic go by. Its also right across from the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center so it adds to the only in LA experience. The menu changes often so the options will be different depending on the day. The way it works is you bring up the menu via the QR code and pay for the entire meal, including tip, upfront. Then runners bring out the food to you. This is not the location to go for white glove service, its a more casual setting where you order by your phone and can leave as soon as you are done. I started off with the Beet Goat Cheese Salad and I loved it. It reminded me of Spring and I especially liked the vinaigrette with it. We also ordered fries for the table and they were delicious and went quickly. For my entree I chose the grilled Branzino and it was very crispy and cooked well. Thats a personal favorite fish of mine so it was nice to see it as an option on the menu. Overall a really nice casual option in East Hollywood with easy parking and flexible seating. There is a lot of street parking, as well as a parking lot behind it and the large Gelsons lot next to it. ”
“ Best French Restaurant in LA! ”
“ Went for then music, will be back for the food. What a great findspot! Loved the crowd, the vibe and especially the music venue, Le Son. Felt like a vintage, old school speak easy. Intimate and sophisticated, yet laid back. Great cocktails too! One of my new spots for music or just to hang out, here in LA! ”
