About the restaurant

Thank you for supporting our small family business!
We offer private dining across our charming spaces: front patio, cozy interior, and back garden patio. Perfect for gatherings of 10–80 guests. Call or email us to inquire!

A Food Affair was founded in 2012 by Babette & Christian Royère—a French couple based in Los Angeles, married over 30 years and still going strong. With Christian’s 40+ years of culinary experience and Babette’s warm hospitality, they’ve created a Provence-inspired dining experience that feels like home. As our mural says, “Come as a stranger, leave as family.”

This is our favorite restaurant in LA. The food and service are always excellent. The onion soup and the duck confit are marvelous as is everything else. The Chef, Christian, often comes out of the kitchen to talk with his guests.

About the restaurant

Diners can enjoy some of the most authentic French food in the valley when they visit Le Petit Restaurant. With the air of a bistro that has come straight from a Paris street, Le Petit serves French fare and adds its own California twist. The look and feel make it a great date spot that is conveniently open for late night dining. The interior is masked in an Art Deco decor, framed by high ceilings and filled with candle-lit and linen-covered tables, framed art adorning the colorful walls, white curved booths, and hardwood floors. The menu runs through a range of creative dishes, like the blackened salmon, grilled entrecote (rib-eye steak), escargot, herb-roasted chicken, and more, including daily specials. On Monday and Tuesday nights Le Petit offers a special 1.5 pound live Maine lobster, with soup or salad for $49.95 A notable wine list and full bar give diners ample drink choices. Le Petit Restaurant is available for private parties

About the restaurant

République, located in Miracle Mile, is owned by Chefs Walter and Margarita Manzke. Centered in the heart of Los Angeles, the historic building in which it resides was originally erected in 1929 by Charlie Chaplin, and later transformed into the iconic La Brea Bakery and Campanile Restaurant. République builds on this storied past, offering a gastronomic environment imbued with history and grandeur. The space features a casual bakery, café, and bar in the front with a more formal dining area located in the rear, serving a French-inspired menu created daily by our chefs.

About the restaurant

Petit Trois Le Valley, the second outpost of Chef Ludo Lefebvre's beloved bistro, opened its doors in 2018 in Sherman Oaks. This larger location channels a lavish French Brasserie, with its marble bar, banquette lined dining room, and a Chef’s counter overlooking the open kitchen. The second dining room can be reserved for larger parties and private events.

Since opening, Petit Trois has garnered praise from casual foodies and revered food critics. In 2015, Petit Trois was nominated for Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation and in 2019 earned the Bib Gourmand designation upon the Michelin Guide’s return to Los Angeles. Additionally, Petit Trois was featured on the late Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles list from 2015-2017 and has remained on the list since 2019 when Bill Addison & Patricia Escárcega took over.

About the restaurant

In 2024, the original location of Petit Trois, on Highland Ave in Hollywood, celebrates 10 years as a beloved, can't miss part of LA's dining scene. Chef/Owner Ludo Lefebvre puts his spin on classic French flavors including the cult-favorite Big Mec burger, swimming in rich Bordelaise sauce, perfectly roasted Heritage chicken with compressed potatoes fried in clarified butter, a French Dip sandwich served with a version of the restaurant's onion soup for dipping, and lots more. Start with the restaurant's housemade baguette served with the creamiest French butter and pair it all with wine from the restaurant's thoughtfully curated list, which includes 16 by the glass options. With a design inspired by classic Parisian bistros, Petit Trois transports guests in its 2 dining areas as well as an outdoor patio. The dining room is also available for private events.

About the restaurant

Welcome to 'Fête,' brought to you by Chef David Slay where the very essence of celebration, or 'Fête' in French, comes to life in the form of a casual yet stylish bistro, whisking you away to the cozy corners of your favorite Parisian neighborhood.

As you step into our charming establishment, you'll find two distinct rooms that each tell a unique story. The first exudes a minimalistic elegance, adorned with antique caricatures that pay homage to tradition. The second room welcomes you with a whimsical embrace, featuring playful details such as wallpaper adorned with monkeys enjoying cigars and libations one wouldn't typically associate with jungles.

This unique blend of culinary heritage is what makes Fête a haven for connoisseurs of both French and Lebanese cuisine, crafted from the finest ingredients sourced fresh from our very own farm, the Slay Estate & Vineyard.

Bienvenue à Fête!

About the restaurant

zinqué is a beloved neighborhood hotspot & all-day restaurant serving French-inspired dishes, small plates, craft cocktails & a uniquely curated wine selection. Inspired by the zinc countertop bars & cafés of Paris, many of its customers consider it a second home—a place to work, linger & socialize.

Open from 7am till late, the space transforms from a European-style bistro & café, serving full breakfast with La Colombe coffee drinks & its famous Le Bowl for lunch, to full service dining at night. Live music, guest DJs, art workshops & wine tastings also make it a favorite community hangout. (zin-kæ)
