LA French Food That Made Me Scream with Joy 🇫🇷✨

Before I even landed in LA, my local friend sent me a whole list of restaurants—all looked amazing, but we finally settled on this French spot for lunch. Eating French food in LA might sound odd, but this cozy bistro nails that relaxed yet chic vibe—like Parisian café ease meets California sunny-day chill. Even though the patio faces a parking lot, it doesn’t ruin the mood at all. 🥖 The bread alone won me over — crusty outside, soft inside, perfect with butter. Saved some to dip in the escargot sauce later. 🐌 Escargot — Honestly as good as any I’ve had in Paris. A must-order. 🥗 Belgian Endive Salad — An underrated gem! Crisp endive with avocado, anchovy, walnuts, and a tangy vinaigrette, topped with a generous sprinkle of cheese. My friend and I looked at each other with wide eyes after the first bite 😍 🥪 Croque Monsieur — How can a ham and cheese sandwich be this divine? Cheesy but not heavy, absolutely my kind of comfort food. 🐟 Tuna Tartare (the only meh) — Not a raw-fish fan, and the onion was a bit strong for me. 🎨 Bonus: Next door is a sweet little gallery featuring contemporary Japanese-inspired art—perfect for a post-meal browse. 📍 Petit (Los Angeles) #LAEats #FrenchCuisine #HiddenGemLA #BistroVibes#ComfortFood #EatLocal #MustTryLA #RelaxedDining
