Cute family-owned French establishment with genuinely welcoming waitresses. As expected, with great deals from Dine LA set menu, the spot was pretty busy so further reservation's recommended. We're there Saturday dinner time and it's full house. We started with their mushroom tourte, one of their favorite appetizers, serving puff pastry topped with creamy mushrooms and truffle oil. Perfect opening with hypnotizing truffle aroma. As for the entree, we tried both the Lamb Shank and their crowd's favorite Duck Confit. My husband who's a fan of lamb did love his dish as the meat was tender, portion was satisfying, and it's rich in flavor. I was in the camp of those who couldn't stand lamb's after-taste so the duck confit was my option. Extremely juicy meat with palatable sauce and nice crispy skin. We got their Creme Brulee for dessert and it just gorgeously ended the dinner set, being moist and silky, not eggy at all, flawlessly topped with torched caramel layer. read more

Came here for Dine LA week on a weekend and wanted to try out French food which AFA seems to be known for. Upon entering, you can tell this is a very nice restaurant with a nice dark aesthetic that sets the mood for groups or a nice date. Not a huge french food fan but wanted to give it a shot since a lot of people recommended. Got the Duck dish which was ok. Not too strong flavors but cooked really well. Didn't think too much of it really enjoyed eating their desserts a lot more than the main dishes. And a pistachio cake plus a crème brûlée, which was really delicious and I remember a lot more than the actual main dishes. If you like French food, you'll like it here. Make sure to make a reservation. Parking is a little hard so you'll have to find street parking somewhere. read more

Fantastic locally owned french restaurant! The staff were so friendly, caring, and so attentive! The owner even talked to us and made recommendations! We went on a thursday night and other guests were mostly french (that's how you know it's locally approved)! The decor was modern chic on the outside and the inside decor was different on the inside- hipster cafe with quotes. The food itself was unbelievable! The pricing is on the higher side but worth it given the taste! We had bone marrow which had a nice buttery flavor; the Beef bourguignon was tender and well flavored; and their house special Black cod (available only for one week) was so flavorful and cooked delicately that it melted in our mouths! It was the best fish we ever tasted and we didn't even know fish could taste like that!!! We also recommend the mango passionfruit lemonade. Not too sweet and tasted very fresh. We also thought it was one of the best and freshest lemonade we ever tasted! Word of note though is that the food portion is on the smaller side for Americans (which is actually normal sized for Europeans). Overall fantastic food! My mouth is watering thinking about it! Definitely recommend for special occasions and if you want very food french food! read more

My husband surprise me with dinner reservations here on a Sunday and I was very pleased. The place feels small yet intimate. The staff was very friendly. The food was delicious and satiating. I was really glad that we got the special- it was cooked to perfection! This is definitely a must try it whether it's a date night or a catch up with a good friend. read more

AFA is a rare restaurant where people talk in hushed voices, and the noise level is just a comfortable buzz that doesn't interfere with your own conversation. It's cozy, refined, and eclectic. It has a nice romantic atmosphere, making it a great place for a first date where you can really get to know someone. The food is very good. My partner had the organic roast half chicken that he said was one of the best he'd ever had. It comes with Brussels sprouts which were swapped out for sautéed greens at his request. I had the salmon which was perfectly cooked medium rare. My only dislike was the mixed veggies it was served on top of had a bit too many different flavors for my taste, and was a little too strong for the salmon. For dessert we had the apple tart with vanilla ice cream which was divine. AFA is a great neighborhood restaurant that I will return to. read more

A Food Affair looks like a well worn Parisian bistrot in a working class area in the 20ème Arrondissement. It has a down home, unpretentious feel of a bustling scene while the front and especially the back patio dining are more leisurely with green plants. Very well frequented by a varied crowd that was mostly mainland East Asians on a Friday night. Food here also has mostly a feel of Cuisine Bourgeoise where the food is hearty and filling. This is not a house of Haute Cuisine. My amiable, helpful waiter is from Lyon, considered to be the food capital of France by many. However, he seemed more interested in slinging out food than a short chat on AFA food information. 1) Escargot: a lengthwise slice of a boiled potato is the foundation on which escargot snails ride with a pouring of what may be Beurre Maître d'Hôtel made of butter and puréed green parsley with an addition of heavy cream. 2) Organic Mary's Farm Duck Leg Confit: Thigh & drumstick is slow simmered in its own juices, but this time it also seems simmered in light tomato juice along with Beluga lentils, spinach with passion fruit glaze. Slice of orange, wedges of tangerine as a agrodolce/ sweet sour garnish harking to Canard à l'Orange. This confit reminds me of Cassoulet stew which has similar ingredients but instead of Tarbais beans, lighter lentils are used. Fall off the bone, the duck meat had a good tasting infusion of its own fat with the tomato acting as a gastrique. Unconventional Confit de Canard, but not if taken in context to Cassoulet. 1-2a) Tempranillo Varietal, biodynamically grown from Spain: Dark fruits like cherry, blackberry. Juicy, acidic to counter the sweetness, touch of tannic bitterness. Paired well with the rich Escargot, and the Confit. 3) Myers Lemon Pie: Terrine of Myers Lemon gellée, fluffy, whipped Crème Chantilly-Mascarpone cheese with a almond based Marzipan crust. Scattered with pistachio powder & preserved Mandarin fruit. Closest in American cooking to a Key Lime Pie, but much more refined. This is unique to AFA. You will not go hungry if you're used to American super sized helpings. AFA food may not be listed officially in the La Rousse Gastronomique, but this food may work especially well in the cold winter months when heavy comfort food is craved. 4- Stars read more

Cute intimate spot. Delicious food, super kind couple that runs this restaurant. Felt very taken care of, chef came out to chat for a bit. You can also book their patio for bigger events! Would recommend (food portions slightly on the smaller to medium end) read more

First time visiting, we came for DineLA & we loved it! Cute little restaurant, delicious food, friendly service, with street parking or park in the lot in the back. We enjoyed everything we ordered. The artisan salad was good, my husband really liked the roasted bone marrow which paired well with the grilled bread. The Grass Fed Beef bourguignon was tasty, which was like a hearty stew & came with pasta. The Australian Lamb Shank Tagine was flavorful & fall off the bone tender. The desserts were equally delicious, we enjoyed the Meyer Lemon Pie & Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee with berries. Make sure you make reservations. We will definitely return to try more items on the menu. read more

Just wow - everything we ordered was absolutely INCREDIBLE and gorgeously plated. I know that you can't go wrong with anything on their menu, but we ordered: Off their specials: -Beef tartare - delicious, maybe the best I ever had -Foie Gras - this is a must order. Came with a cherry compote and charred bread -Wild Chilean Sea Bass - tender, perfectly cooked and paired perfectly with the butternut squash mousaline Regular menu: -Mushroom tourte - perfect for anyone who loves mushrooms. I could eat 100 of these -Beets and avocado salad - fresh, perfect balance of sweet and savory. This will be a crowd pleaser -Escargot - such a unique way to service it sitting on top of potato!! -Beef Bourguignon with Pappardelle - this is a popular dish for a reason -Duck leg confit - expertly cooked, fall of the bone and SO GOOD with the passion and peach glaze Dessert: -Hot Cookie - who doesn't love chocolate chip cookies? This is warm, gooey, with vanilla ice cream sitting on top and there's a nice texture with the pepitas -Chocolate mousse - creamy, smooth, with these amazing crunchy chocolate balls. Absolutely give this one a try -Basque Cheesecake - amazing texture with a big portion of delicious berry compote It's such an adorable and beautifully decorated restaurant. There seemed to be a lot of street parking available, but we took a Waymo. The husband (chef) and wife who own this are also so incredibly kind. Can not wait to go back. read more

I went with my boyfriend on a date here and the ambiance was great! Everyone was so nice and helpful with the menu. It seemed like everyone we talked to was French which gave an authentic French vibe. The food was amazingggg the chef came out to talk to us and he was so nice! We were sat outside and the only problem was the bugs there was a lot of mosquitos and I got bit quite a bit cause I was in a skirt. Regardless I would come back possibly just sit inside. Again the food was delicious! read more

Delicious French food! My companion and I had the Scottish salmon with calamari, Australian lamb shank tagine, mushroom tourte, and for dessert, French chocolate mousse and Meyer lemon pie. Everything was delectable! Great service, quaint ambiance. There's an outdoor patio with heating lamps in the back. Street parking. We'll be back for DineLA.com. read more

Everything is good, food, service, atmosphere, friendly owners. We had many dishes and shared -it was fun!

A quaint gem my husband found to reserve for our anniversary dinner! It was the perfect intimate setting for the occasion and I'm so glad he decided on A Food Affair! Ambiance: perfect noise level (for both the music and background chatter) for an intimate dinner with a partner or a group of people. Nice warm lighting, decor is super homey/not obnoxious -- I loved it. Service: attentive but not overbearing. You can see Christian, one of the co-owners, come out to greet each guest throughout the nice -- such a nice personal touch to the experience. Food: - Drinks: my husband and I had a few cocktails -- the Passionate Affair, Lover's crush, and Normandie. Just slightly bubbly, not overbearingly sweet. Quite enjoyed them and if I had the capacity to have more glasses I definitely would have had more! - Food: ** Mary's duck rillettes: the bread was perfect warm and toasted accompanied by a nice spread of cormichons, mustard, and a DELICIOUS jam (I think there was cooked down onion but texturally seemed like there was something else in there). It was the perfect accompaniment with the wine, especially with the cormichons and pickled pepper. ** Mushroom torte: nice buttery pastry and rich sauce topped with mushrooms -- yum! The mushrooms had a nice meaty flavor/texture that did not have you missing protein ** Truffle fries: the most underwhelming thing of the night, could have done without, granted it was a side. Nice herbaceous fragrance with the thyme topped with some shaved Parmesan and garlic. They were crispy and tasted fresh but nothing special ** Brussels sprouts: nice sweetness from the dates ** Beef bourguignon: beef was nice and tender, pappardelle was the perfect al dente. The shaved carrots were a nice touch that added a nice sweet somewhat fresh/crunch component to an overall indulgent dish. So sad my photo came out blurry! ** Lemon pie: one of my favorites of the night next to the beef bourguignon. We were told the crust is gluten free made from crushed almonds, butter and sugar. The lemon layer was the perfect degree of tarte topped with a generous layer of mascarpone cream with a side of mango coulis. Loved the touch of candied tangerines on top for that extra citrus element. Since we're local to the area, can't wait to come back to try some of their other dishes, especially the other entrees and the foie gras special and bone marrow that everyone raves about! read more

I say this every time, but still a "Quick trip to France". Outstanding food, service, and atmosphere. We had the specials: duck liver pâté starter, whole snapper and filet mignon. Excellent selection of helpfully, accurately and beautifully-described wines by the glass (plus bottles of course). Husband's birthday kindly acknowledged. Highly recommended. read more

Whenever I miss France, I go to A Food Affair! From the warm greeting upon arrival by Babette to the marvelous food cooked by Christian, this place is like going to see your French family who happen to live in Los Angeles. They have a nice selection of wine and several patio spaces (you can rent them for a private affair, which is what one friend did for a birthday). They have specials every night and I usually opt for the fish, like the branzino, or the lamb shank, which is so hearty that I usually take half of it home! I love their mushroom appetizer, all their salads, sometimes they have pâté, and they do snails (out of the shell). For regular menu items I would go with the bœuf bourguignon or the wild salmon with crispy calamari. I never really have room for dessert, but you can't go wrong with the crème brûlée or chocolate mousse. BTW, they are back to being open more days and hours now that the pandemic has settled. read more

What a charming neighbor French treat! While being displaced from the Altadena fire my temporary home is the area; I came across A Food Affair. Luckily at the time of my visit it was DineLA. The decor with different tables,mirrors and light fixtures really added to the experience. Mushroom tart, escargot, salmon, lamb terrine... all were excellent. I look forward to revisiting! read more

Dear friends, I made a reservation five days ago. When I got to the restaurant, the waiter told me that there were no available seats inside. Then they arranged us to sit at the entrance, where there was no air - conditioning and there were even flies. We asked the waiter if we could change the table. Then an old woman came out with a really bad attitude and said that all the other indoor tables were occupied and we had to sit outside. Shouldn't a restaurant get our consent in advance before arranging us to sit outside? We came from so far away, so we decided not to spoil the mood. I sincerely hope that you won't waste your precious time going to such a poor - quality restaurant. read more

This was our second time at Food Affairs and we loved coming back. The steak tartare was a highlight. The chef was kind enough to prepare it for us even though it wasn't on the menu, and he came out afterward to introduce himself and say hello. The mushroom tourte is an absolute must order appetizer. Every dish was excellent. The staff was attentive and very accommodating. The ambiance is upscale yet relaxed. It's great that both times we didn't have to wait for a table on a Friday night especially for a restaurant serving food of this quality. We'll definitely be back again. Highly recommend! read more

A measurement of a good restaurant is not only based on food and drink, but how single diners are served. I travel solo quite a bit to Los Angeles, and on this particular day the traffic signal impeded my progress to Shabbat. Glancing around to take a breath, I spotted the quaint eatery on Robertson. It had been years since I had French food, and when I checked to see if they had escargot, I promised myself to visit time around. When my afternoon became WIDE open, I took take a chance and dropped in without a reservation (it was early - about 5:30pm) I was pleasantly surprised. I was treated like a queen - you know - attentive but not overbearing - friendly but not phony. The food was spot on. The escargot presentation was different than any I had previously. The kale /parsley pistou (French version of pesto) was not overpowering. The bouillabaisse perfectly seasoned with a good amount of broth. A glass of Chateaux Grand Boise/ Provence segued to a second. Well done. To quote someone famous, I'll be back. read more

Cute, cozy spot with friendly owners and good service, but the food was underwhelming. Portions are small for the price, many dishes were too salty, and the escargot was disappointing. A few hits, but overall, overpriced for what you get. read more

Food: Literally the best French restaurant I've ever been to. The dishes I ordered were the best version of the dishes I've ever had anywhere: beef bourguignon, bouillabaisse, and roasted chicken. Apple tart was great too and may be the best version I've had. Howevef, the escargot didn't do it for me. Service: Attentive but not stuffy. Ambiance: Like a small French bistro with stone walls. Great! read more

We've made several follow up visits since my original review, and we've had a wonderful experience each time. This family owned/operated restaurant has a rustic French countryside atmosphere, and is very cozy and warm. As of our last visit, they still have their small covered front entry dining area, the main dining area, and smaller back room, and a covered/converted back parking lot patio. Service is always friendly and efficient, although I enjoy a more casual, drawn out dinner. I'm never in a rush to get in and out. Many of the staff have French accents, which just adds to the ambiance. They only offer wine/champagne cocktails, and the food selection is typical French cuisine. Some of our favorite starters are the Mushroom Tourte, Roasted Bone Marrow, and Escargot. For entrées, I love their Beef Bourguignon, Duck Leg Confit, and the Scottish Salmon, although everything we've tried is very good. Also, you can't go wrong with any of the desserts. We're always impressed by the food and service. We'll definitely continue to stop in from time to time to enjoy this wonderful French gem. I highly recommend. read more

I went here with a group of 5 on a Wednesday evening for DineLA. We made a reservation online about a week beforehand. We each did the DineLA dinner menu. I ordered the mushroom tourte, beef borguignon and creme brûlée for dessert. I also tried the salad, salmon, duck and chocolate mousse from my friends. The food was all very delicious and the 3 courses were filling. The tourte was flaky and had a generous amount of mushrooms. The beef was very tender and flavorful. No complaints about the desserts. Our group was all pretty good after all the dishes came out. Total came to be ~$75 per person after tax and tip for their set DineLA menu. We were told they also had an outdoor patio, but we were seated inside for our meal. Street parking only. read more

The chef personally came to our table and asked how we were doing! The best service I have ever received in LA; the host was incredibly attentive and helpful. The food was great (beef and duck were very well prepared). The restaurant feels almost exclusive and has a very romantic vibe to it; french indeed. Side notes: dont get the mushroom pastry or the truffle fries, they are good but definitely overpriced. read more

Been to many restaurants in different cities in France and I must say, A Food Affair got it! Really authentic. We started with a Kir Royal, appetizer Escargot and main Boullabaise. Finished off with their special chocolate cake. All paired with a nice and reasonably priced Bourgogne. Such a nice experience. Also so real that the chef comes out and talks to the guests. Go here! read more

A great food affair in deed! Came here because it was on Dine LA . The menu looked great as well as the price! This was a very last minute decision to come here and I'm so glad we did! We do not live close but it was worth the drive. Walking in we were greeted by the owner. She was very lovely! So nice! We ate in the back patio and it was beautiful!!!! They just opened the back patio about a week ago. Lucky us! They have a front outside patio as well and indoor seating. Just really pretty overall. Laura was our server and she was sweet and attentive. We ordered.... 2 glasses of Omen Cab Bread and butter Mushroom Tourte Escargot Beef Bourguignon (for each of us) Lemon pie Crème brûlée We got the bread and butter first. It comes with about six pieces. I just had one to start and saved the rest to sop up all of the sauce from the other dishes ;-p The butter was great. It was just lacking a little salt. But you can ask for salt and sprinkle it on. She brought a cute little box filled with three different salts... The two in the jars are all you need. The white/light gray salt is a flaky French salt and is absolutely delicious along with pink Himalayan salt, which I really appreciated because you don't see that that often when you ask for salt or salt on the table. They have/offer quality salts...and I love that :-) The two starters were excellent! I would definitely recommend the escargot, even if you've never had escargot or if you think you're not a fan. The sauce was magnificent! This dish was very flavorful and delicious. The mushrooms and the cream with the puff pastry was also very delicious. I loved both of these appetizers. I would get them both again. The beef bourguignon was the best I ever had. This dish, for me, needed a little salt. That's all. And I never add salt to any dish. But I'd rather a dish be a little under salted than overly salted. The dish was melt in you mouth! The beef was perfection! Super tender where you don't need a knife. I would get this again and recommend it. The desserts were great as well. Mmm mmm mmm yummy!!! Crème brûlée was perfect! The lemon pie had a nice crust. The quality of the food was great. I can tell excellent ingredients go into each dish. Throughout the evening, Chef Christian came out and spoke to each table introducing himself and asking how everything was. I thought that was wonderful. I appreciate that very much. You don't see that very often these days. Such class! He is very nice and hospitable. He is also a FANTASTIC chef! Wow wow wow! Incredible :-p The whole experience was great. Really nice owners, chef, and staff! I'm so happy we came and we will be back for sure and I can't wait. There is parking in the back and on the street. The restaurant is beautiful inside and out! I really love the outside :-) :-) :-) Not the best neighborhood, so just be aware of your surroundings esp at night and as a female. read more

A Food Affair has a nice charm and the service was very warm and personable. We were greeted with a bonsoir and really could have been somewhere in France. The food was authentic and beautifully presented. There were so many highlights but the bone marrow is a must. The mushroom tourte is made with housemade puff pastry and super flavorful. For the entree, the ribeye steak was cooked perfectly to order. You can't go wrong with the beef bourguignon. The meat on the lamb shank really falls off the bone. We really enjoyed A Food Affair and look forward to visiting again soon! read more

First time visit and took advantage of the Dine in LA deal, definitely worth it! Service was friendly and nostalgic, feels like you're having a meal at your papi/mamie's cozy home. Since we had a large party we basically ordered all the items on their Dine in LA menu, which allowed us to try 4 different starters, 4 different entrees, and 3 different desserts, and going with their recommend bottle of red. The starters were all so delicious (scraping down the last spoonful of decadent rich sauce) definitely recommend the wild mushroom tarte, escargot, and bone marrow. The entrees were good but not as spectacular as the starters, seemed more oily/buttery than having a distinct taste. The desserts were generous portions and not too sweet, which is what we prefer. I would have personally preferred the crust on the lemon pie to be more firm. But, overall, we had a pleasant dining experience. Extra points for grass fed meats and organic ingredients. Bon appetit! read more

This is such a charming restaurant and hidden gem on a busy Weho street. I did not even realize it was there until a friend took me. The staff and service is just wonderful with real French people. The decor is whimsical and the menu has all you'd expect for French food with some creative touches. They have solid non-alcohol options. I loved the passion fruit lemonade which was made in house and served in a lovely glass bottle. It is a generous portion. My absolute favorite item we tried was the mushroom torte (in puff pastry) - of course I like everything mushroom so it's an easy sell. The escargots are served in a hollowed out potato and with a garlic and herb cream sauce. It is creative, but I really missed the traditional bread with garlic butter. The Bouillabaisse de Marseille is full of perfectly cooked seafood. I found the broth to be a bit too heavy in saffron which made it slightly bitter. The house pomme frites (French fries) are great, seasoned with garlic of course. We had a berry cake for dessert. I look forward to trying more off the menu and discovering my favorites. read more

A Food Affair in LA was my first French restaurant here in LA! I started the meal with some sangria to feel warm and fuzzy, alongside with some amazing appetizers of the night: - roasted bone marrow with toasted bread - mushroom tourte And following the entrees: - Chilean wild sea bass - Beef Bourguinon with parpadelle And finally dessert: - Meyer lemon pie - chocolate mousse The single best dish of the night was easily the mushroom tourte, which is sautéed creamy mushroom over a soft, flaky buttery pastry creating the most fragrant and texture-filling bite ever!! Chocolate mousse also blew my mind away at how dense and flavorful each chocolatey bite was- felt like each bite was an entire block of chocolate read more

At A Food Affair, romance is not manufactured. It is simmered slowly, plated simply, and served without ceremony. The room glows in soft candlelight, small and unassuming, as if confident that those who understand will recognize what is happening here. The cooking leans classic French, favoring depth over spectacle. Sauces are allowed their full voice, proteins are treated with restraint, and each plate arrives composed rather than decorated. Nothing feels trendy. Everything feels intentional. What distinguishes the experience is its quiet integrity. There is no theatrical presentation, no rush to turn the table, only the steady rhythm of a kitchen cooking for people rather than for cameras. Conversation softens, time loosens its grip, and the meal unfolds at a human pace. In a neighborhood that often prizes scene over substance, this small bistro offers something rarer: sincerity. You leave not dazzled, but nourished, comforted, and faintly transported. read more

This place is a gemstone find. As soon as you walk in you feel warm and invited. Greeted but a beautiful smile, and a very home style cooking smell. The service was perfect! Kind, knowledgeable, and all around home cooking vibes. Even if you aren't French. Food was absolutely delicious. When the chef comes out to greet you at the end. You can see he is authentic, and genuine. This restaurant gets 10 stars. I urge you to go rate it yourself. Merci read more

Summary: Cute French spot with good, but seldom, eats Details: I'm having a tough time deciding how to review this spot. Cute/fun aesthetic and vibes aside, I'm torn on the return-ability of the spot, given our thoughts on their food, especially as out-of-towners. Allow me to clarify: some of the dishes, like the duck rillettes and duck leg confit were tasty, but not really a flavor profile or taste that I'd ever find myself craving, while some of the other dishes we had, like the bouillabaisse were far too mineral-y for our tastes. As someone who doesn't live in the area, I'm not sure this is a spot I'd come back to on future trips (which would generally garner 2 stars), but as a local, I could see myself coming here on the rare special occasion, so I'm throwing down a three with the aforementioned caveats. Accessibility: There's a mix of seating and spacing availability here, but they'll take care of your seating if you request something accessible. Bathrooms are also accessible! read more

A great traditional French brasserie owned by a wonderful French couple. One of the few places in LA that still serve classic foie gras and it is absolutely perfect. We also had the bone marrow, the rib eye steak, the beef bourguignon, and the lamb shank which were all perfectly cooked. The rib eye especially was delicious. I was also surprised to find Kir Royal on the cocktail list, I haven't seen it since my visit to Quebec almost 2 years ago. We ended it with a Basque cheesecake. The service was impeccable, our server always checked on us and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. The facilities are clean, and the inside is cozy and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I'm going to the south of France with a couple of friends so we figured we'd start doing a little bit of research. My friend found this spot that we both instantly fell in love with after reading about the owners. We made an early dinner reservation since my friend had to leave right after dinner. We were the only patrons dining at 5pm. Per usual, we shared everything for a better dining experience. Sharing is always caring. We got: Endive salad Bread basket Bouillabaisse Cauliflower Rice Risotto Crème brûlée When I tell you, we wiped off everything on that table. The bouillabaisse broth was the perfect accompaniment to the bread. I forget which make we got, but we opted for a bottle of white wine. We both could not believe that we'd never heard of this place. AND they happen to be just down the street from us. The service was impeccable. We were greeted by Christian when we got there. He had such a lovely energy. Babette ended up taking our order. We had such a great dinner. I only wish we had more time. My friend had a previous engagement she had to get to so we had a limited time to eat. We're coming back here after our trip to Nice. read more
