Culver Hotel – Hidden French Gem with Live Cello & Old Movies 🎻🎞️

Sharing a spot that’s still under the radar – an elegant French restaurant tucked inside the historic Culver Hotel. Ambience is everything here: Classic, nostalgic, intimate. Live cello music 🎶 + black-and-white films projected on a big screen. Felt like stepping into a different era. We ordered: 🐙 Squid appetizer – tender and well-seasoned 🥖 Baguette with beef tartare – delicious combo 🍝 Truffle pasta – rich, creamy, with a raw egg mix-in (next level!) 🥩 Steak – buttery smooth, generous portion with fresh greens Only letdown: dessert 🍮 The jam tasted like cough syrup… 😅 Stumbled upon this place by accident – the exterior reminded me of the Bund in Shanghai! And inside? Even more magical. After dinner, we walked to the open-air cinema nearby (so many people!), then grabbed ice cream at Salt & Straw 🍦 Rare to find in LA: a walkable, vibey area that feels straight out of Asia. Perfect for date night, slow evenings, or when you just want to feel fancy without trying too hard. #CulverHotel #FrenchInLA #HiddenGems #LiveMusicDining #LAVibes #DateNightLA #WalkableLA #EatLikeLocal
