This place has really good food. The menu is a bit limited but everything we tried was great, including the cocktails. The only reason why I didn't give it 5* is the price -- quite expensive -- never seen 20.00 price for bread (we did not get it but it probably would have been very good). 48.00 for the sea bream appetizer (but it was excellent). So if you don't mind paying more than you normally would, definitely try Camphor n read more

Camphor, located in Arts District in DTLA, is a French Brasserie, which has been awarded with one Michelin Star for the past several years. What brought me in was their $65 Steak Frites prix fixe menu on Thursday nights (not including 20% service charge and tax). I made my reservation online and was excited to come in. The ambiance is nice, modern. We had counter seating in front of the open kitchen. The prix fixe menu was delicious. It started with a salad with a bright, acidic vinaigrette and a crusty baguette with salted, creamy French butter. The 8 oz steak came with a Parsley-Tarragon sauce that provided an herbal punch that I have been looking for a long time. Many places that serve steak frites make sauces au poivre (pepper sauce) and I haven't found places outside of France that go this herbal route. As can be expected, the fries are perfectly salty and crispy and served with a trio of sauces (spicy aioli, ketchup, and honey mustard). My wife really enjoyed her cocktail; however, I have to say that red wine is a perfect pairing with the steak and fries. The wine draws the moisture from your palate, then you take a bite of the chewy, juicy steak and your mouth gets coated in the flavors of the entree. Follow that up with the crispy, salty fries and it is perfection. The steak frites on Thursdays are a perfect way to get introduced to this Michelin-starred restaurant. I look forward to celebrating a special occasion here soon. Note: they have valet parking for $20. We found some street parking down the street for free; however, you will need some luck for that. May the odds be ever in your favor. read more

Celebrated our Valentines a few days later at Camphor and it did not disappoint. The food was of course delicious and I want to note how exceptional the service was. We sat at Chef's Counter last night (Monday) at 6:45pm and everyone who greeted us, dropped off plates, cleaned our table, brought drinks - all treated us like we were their section and were all equally knowledgeable about everything we had questions about. Service by everyone was kind, professional, and so timely, which absolutely is noticed by me. It was absolutely seamless. We started off with a nice amuse bouche that was absolutely delicious (it was a cheese/onion flavored bite that I could have had 10 more of) got the oysters, scallops, steak au poivre (with extra sauce of course), pomme frites, the mushroom pthivier (which we pre ordered beforehand because it was a specialty item that could run out) and had to get the kiwi mint dessert (which was absolutely a knockout dessert for me. Light, refreshing and full of flavor. I need that as a cocktail or mocktail!). Everything was phenomenal and I would order again. For parking, we found easy public parking for $10 across the street. It was a Monday night so super easy. Otherwise Camphor has their own valet you could use. All in all - a fantastic experience and would love to come back soon. read more

My friends and I were so lucky to snag a last-minute reservation for a Friday night dinner. | vibe | The ambience is modern and convivial with an open kitchen. There's bar seating and tables, but I think table seating is the way to go if you're ordering a lot of dishes to share. Service was very attentive, and our water glasses were always filled. | menu | *must orders in my opinion - amuse bouche: a comté cream cheese puff - a delicious savory start. - sea bream (5/5): wow I usually think uni is too rich when combined with other things, but sea bream is a pretty mild fish so it worked. The green apple ice was a refreshing addition. Such creative presentation! - beef tartare (4.5/5): I normally am not a fan of beef tartare, but this was done very well. The tempura basil and mint leaves were delicate but perfect vessels for the tartare. - radicchio salad (5/5): perfect combo of flavors. The passionfruit caesar was creamy but lightly tart while the radicchio provided a very slight bitter taste. - onion tartine (5/5)*: it's basically all the best parts of a french onion soup. I literally can't explain how delicious this was. - scallop (5/5)*: sooo amazing. The dumpling skin was just thin enough, and they managed to fill each one with the perfect-sized scallop. The sauce was rich while not being too heavy either. - lobster (3/5): saffron risotto was great texture, and the lobster was buttery. I would pass on this bc I didn't think it was a stand-out dish. It wasn't bad, but the other dishes were too good. - ribeye (4.5/5): phew perfectly cooked medium. The butter sauce was herby while being slightly citrusy. - chicken (5/5)*: I asked how good can chicken be? Well, I got my answer with this dish. I have never had chicken breast like this before. Juicy and succulent. The argodolce had a sort of bbq flavor, but it was so addicting. I needed to make sure each bite had the sauce. - potatoes (4/5): buttery potatoes served with crème fraîche (reminded me of sour cream and onion vibes). A great accompaniment to your main meat dish. The potatoes reminded me of mini baked potatoes! - chocolate fondant (5/5)*: my friends said they didn't see this dessert during their prior visits. We were going to skip on dessert, but I'm glad we didn't because this was such a decadent end to our dinner. The molten cake was so gooey and warm. The vanilla marshmallow ice cream wasn't overly sweet either. My gripe with vanilla ice creams is that they can taste artificial, but this was rich while also being subtle. | tl;dr | 10/10 would return. An amazing modern French dinner where nearly every dish blew my mind. Also I'm obsessed with their bathrooms and nice toilets LOL. read more

Our anniversary fell on a Monday this year, and a lot of restaurants close on Mondays. Thank goodness for Camphor--we had an amazing celebration meal. There's kinda expensive valet parking, but we managed to find metered street parking nearby. We had reserved counter seating, so we got to see a show and interact (a little) with the bar and kitchen staff as they brought us our food. First up was a delightful little amuse-bouche of gougères. A great way to welcome guests, thank you! We're not wine people, which usually puts us at a disadvantage at French restaurants, but Camphor had a wonderful selection of very balanced cocktails. Hooray! For appetizers we chose the onion tartine, which was basically French onion soup as a slice of toast, and the Sea Bream w/Uni, served under a green apple shave ice. Sounds crazy, but it worked. For our mains, we had the Chicken w/Agrodolce (an Italian sweet-and-source sauce) which was tender and delicious, and the Scallop Demi Lune (basically a French scallop ravioli), once again, just cooked perfectly. We also had the melon-ball style potatoes, which came in butter and accompanied with sour cream and chives. A clever way to reimagine a classic. We couldn't decide on desert, so we got two! The Kiwi-Mint and the Meyer Lemon Marzipan. Both were light, mildly sweet, and works of art on the plate. I'd absolutely go back here next year. read more

I love a good steak. I dream about it. So when I saw an Instagram ad for Camphor advertising their Thursday-only $65 prix fixe Steak Frites menu, I made the reservation before the video even ended. This high-end hipster restaurant is tucked down a graffiti-covered alleyway downtown, on one of the blocks that somehow doesn't have that many homeless people. The entrance is unassuming and plain, which I guess is cool now? Are we over flashy? I don't know. Walking inside, you feel... nothing. The employees are all dressed in white. The restaurant is all white. It's a little bland. Near the entrance are four white upholstered chairs where you wait while your table is prepared. These chairs have seen better days. The white fabric looks like wet dogs have been sleeping and wrestling on them for years. Dirty, stained, gray. I'll stand, thanks. The prix fixe menu includes a French baguette, French butter, a summer salad, and your steak frites: a hanger steak with tarragon parsley sauce. The highlight of the meal was the bread. Soft center, crispy crust, and the butter was topped with flaky rock salt. Simple and delicious. The salad was light and bright, and by that point I was excited for the steak. I always order my steak medium. Is that right? Is that wrong? I don't know. Blood freaks me out, so I like just a little pink. The steak arrived and the presentation was a 10/10. The fries were great. Hard to mess those up. The parsley tarragon sauce was interesting at first. A flavor profile I don't think I've had before. The first bite was solid. But then came the problem: the hanger steak was tough and blood red. I had to chew it so much that I was completely over the parsley tarragon sauce before I was even halfway through the meal. The sauce also became overpowering and salty fast. The restaurant is dark, which I'm convinced is intentional so you don't notice the "medium" steak you ordered is actually rare because they have a Michelin star and apparently they know better than you. The service was fine, and my server was delightful. The restaurant clearly knows that, because they automatically add a 20% gratuity to the bill. And even with the gratuity already included, the receipt still has suggested tip amounts printed on it just in case you're looking to hit that magical 40% tip threshold. All in all, it was fine. If I had been served this exact steak frites while sitting in first class on a Delta Air Lines flight from LAX to JFK, 10/10. But driving an hour through Los Angeles traffic and Gotham City conditions to be greeted by dirty furniture and an okay steak? 6/10. read more

We visited Camphor for our 5 year anniversary. It was perfect for the occasion - we knew we were going to spend a decent amount, and we wanted a special, beyond the norm type of dining experience. Camphor's food did deliver, but there were a lot of peripheral factors that didn't hit the mark. The food was outstanding. The portion sizes were surprisingly large for a finer dining restaurant. And the $38 martinis (the Provence) were worth every penny. We got the onion tartine, crudo, scallops, burger, and a (graciously comped!) kiwi dessert. Our server was well-versed and gave excellent recommendations. I didn't regret any of our orders and really appreciated the flavor balance - we thought things would get too rich, but there was a sweetness to each dish that really cut through. Now onto the not-so-great. Let's start with the 3.5% processing fee for credit cards... say what now? For a restaurant that markets itself as fine dining, this felt blasphemous to me. Just roll it into a higher menu price at that point. The second downer was the time it took for initial service which other reviewers have also mentioned. We got a cocktail menu while we waited for our table, but then couldn't actually order cocktails until we were seated which was self-defeating. It was about an hour past our reservation time before we even got our first drinks, which was surprising for a Michelin star restaurant. I'm still glad I got to try Camphor! read more

Had high expectations for this Michelin-starred restaurant but was a bit disappointed. Came for steak and frites night but didn't realize it was a once a month event. My friends and I still kept our reservation. Our host, server, and sommelier were all friendly. For food we got bread & butter, sea bream, scallop, and rib eye. Bread and butter was delicious. The rest were good but overhyped. Towards the end, it felt like we were getting kicked out cause there were people waiting to be seated. Felt like the staff were starting at us to see if we would leave. Understandable but definitely did not make our experience better. read more

I visited last Thursday for Steak Frites night, and my god, it did not disappoint! I constantly crave steak frites from Paris, but this place one hundred percent filled that craving, and I no longer miss Paris. While street parking in the area is difficult to find, the restaurant does offer valet. Steak frites night was bustling, with a filled dining room. Even though it was full of people, with some music playing in the background, it wasn't too loud, and I could still make conversation without having to yell. The steak frites pre-fix menu was spectacular. The bread and butter was delicious: butter was creamy and salty, and the bread was crunchy and had the perfect amount of chewiness. The salad with their dressing was delicious, no additional comments needed. The star of the show was definitely the steak frites. The fries were delicious and crispy, and the steak was quite tender. The steak sauce haunts me now, thanks a lot! I swear, when I tried that steak sauce, my eyes rolled to the back of my head in ecstasy. For dessert, they offered us a mille fueille, which was good, just not as good as everything else we had. The service that we experienced was also great! Our waters were always refilled, and our server made excellent cocktail recommendations. I did notice that the bill does come with a mandatory 20% service charge, and every penny was well deserved! I wish there was a warning ahead of coming about the additional credit card surcharge - seems very unusual for a restaurant of this caliber. I honestly cannot wait to come back, for steak frites night or just for another night so I could try the larger menu. read more

Camphor has been on my list for a while now. I was excited to try another French spot in LA. The service was a 10/10. They truly give you a great experience from the minute you get there. The martini and appetizers were amazing. My favorite was the radicchio salad! I was excited about the burger but it was slightly undercooked. I would return on a Thursday for their steak frites nice. read more

I've been here twice for steak frites night so this is what this review pertains too. Twice their temperature of the meat was not as requested. It's a bit troubling as this is the only thing they do that night. Like you can't properly cook the only food on your menu. Their 20% service fee which is not a tip is also astronomical. So if you tip the minimum 15/18% that means close to 40% of your total bill is going to service and tip. I find that to be ridiculous in today's environment. While their concept is good and venue is nice to look at, the rest falls short of what they charge read more

My partner and I chose this restaurant to celebrate our anniversary after seeing a lot of online hype. I wouldn't say the experience was terrible, but it ultimately didn't live up to expectations--especially for the price point. Having grown up with French cuisine and spending a lot of time in France, I found the food, particularly the steak and frites special we ordered on Thursday, to be underwhelming and not reflective of the premium pricing. The cocktails, however, were well executed and enjoyable. The location was another drawback. For a restaurant charging at this level, the downtown warehouse setting felt less than ideal and didn't contribute to a sense of comfort or occasion. It came across as a cost-saving choice rather than an intentional dining experience. While we appreciated the gesture of a "Happy Anniversary" card, a complimentary dessert would have felt more thoughtful and aligned with standard hospitality expectations. Overall, there are many stronger dining options in Los Angeles that offer better value, ambiance, and execution. For us, this one missed the mark. read more

Here's the updated version with the drinks included: Camphor is truly a one-of-one experience. I went for their Steak & Frites night and ordered my steak medium rare; perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. Every single thing that came to the table was amazing: the warm bread and butter, the fresh salad, and that phenomenal dressing that honestly deserves its own shoutout. The drinks were amazing as well; thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and the perfect complement to the meal. The customer service was impeccable from start to finish. Attentive without being intrusive, friendly without being overbearing; they really know how to take care of you. It was an experience I'll never forget. Both my date and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Highly recommend. read more

Welcome to Cam.. phor, where cam is for delicioso! Had a great meal at Camphor with some real beautifully creative takes... had the green apple ceviche, such a fun take on ceviche... could have used some sort of crisp vehicle to place the ceviche on instead of a spoon.... Very fun and delish. Opted on the burger that was a real fun take on it... a duck and beef burger, had to try it and see what the quack was all about! It's definitely tasty... with some solid fries that hit the spot! Super cute place for a special night out! A tad pricey when it comes to drinks... we got bamboozled with a 50 dollar a glass vino.. sneaky sneaky. Thought our waiter could have been nice and shared... but alas a lil camphor would have been needed to heal that wound. read more

What an experience. The restaurant is intimate and gorgeous, but service was definitely a lot worse than I was expecting (especially given the prices they charge). To start, we ordered the onion tartine - perfectly rich, like a French onion soup on a cheesy toast. The crudo was my personal favorite; it's served in a wine glass and the shaved ice pairs so well with the fresh fish. For mains, the scallop pasta and burger were really good. Perfectly satisfying, so flavorful and so creative. To finish, the bread pudding was great as well. read more

Had not been to Camphor for some time, and had been craving the burger since I was there last, so we finally made the decision to go back. Luckily found one reservation available, so grabbed it and headed over. Got to the restaurant and was seated right away. We already had an idea of items we wanted, but our server was able to give us some updates on the menu, highlighting a few items. With that information, we decided to start out with the oysters and onion tartine, along with cocktails. The oysters were very good, no other way to describe them. But the onion tartine, next level. So surprised I didn't try it on my previous visit, but that brad with the comte and gruyere cheese on top along with the caramelized onions, just delicious. Could order a couple of those and be perfectly happy with my impending high cholesterol. For entrees, we ordered the scallop ravioli and le burger. The scallop ravioli is one of their top sellers, which is strange seeing pasta in a French restaurant. But the sauce is great, and the sweetness of the scallop meat coming through in each ravioli just hits the spot. And le burger, where do I start? First, the burger itself, a combination of beef and duck, giving it this succulent moist burger. And they place the cheese on the bottom of the burger so the juices don't make the bottom bun soggy. Definitely a winning move by the culinary team. Really no bad things to say about Camphor, just a great restaurant in Arts District putting out amazing food to touch your palate in multiple ways. Definitely make a reservation and try anything, it is all good read more

Every first Thursday of the month steak frites night was quite an experience. Located in an alleyway, a smaller restaurant with an open kitchen and gorgeous restrooms. While we had to wait 40 minutes between getting our salad and steak dish, the steak was worth the wait. Steak Frites Course ($65) - Bread and butter was nice, nothing amazing (7/10) - Salad w walnuts was really good, the dressing was slightly sweet and vinegary (8.5/10) - Hangar steak requested to be medium rare and fries. Fries were crispy, can't tell if homemade. Hangar steak was soo tender, and the gravy surprised me by being subtlety sweet and creamy rather than too rich and savory (9/10) Also note a bottle of water cost $10 each refill. And an automatic service fee of 20% is charged. Besides that, service was great, super attentive. read more

Managed to snag a last minute seating the day of and was also lucky to preorder the last lobster risotto they had for the day. Word of advice: make sure to pre-order dishes when you're making your reservation if you're going in last minute like us. We ordered the sea bream, onion tartine, lobster risotto, scallops, and seasonal vegetables. Sea bream - 3/5 The sea bream was interesting and I would suggest at least trying it once. Onion tartine- 10/5 The onion tartine was amazing! It literally tasted like French onion soup and the toast was so crunchy while still soaking up all the sauce. Lobster risotto - 3/5 This was pricey, like $250 market price expensive but we figured it's worth a try. The lobster was tender and cooked to perfection, the risotto was delicious and full of flavor but sadly it was super salty! Scallops - 5/5 Delicious. It's creamy but not overwhelming. You can feel yourself biting into the scallop with each pasta. Seasonal vegetables - 3/5 This is their take on a ratatouille. They made it with japanese eggplant this time around. It's ok if you need some fiber with the meal. We actually ordered the chicken as well but the food came out so slow that we got really full half way through dinner service. I think we spent around 2.5 hours there and there were other tables who also seemed bored of waiting. Granted, I know the kitchen probably makes everything to order but I just wish it was a little faster read more

My husband took me to Camphor for my birthday. They've earned a Michelin star for the last few years. I was hearing it was overhyped but I think what separates them is the attention to detail. I had a handwritten note wishing me well. Everything was cooked to perfection, I always get steak au poivre from French places, it was cooked to perfection along with the side of asparagus. My view of the kitchen seemed like they are a well oiled machine. Bathrooms were always immaculate, this is where so many restaurants drop the ball. The best part was the nontraditional bread pudding. It's like a crispy layer on top that you break like creme brulee and then all gooey in side, layers of flavor I would go back just for that. My bday candle was edible. These little touches make Camphor stand out. read more

reservations are easy to make and they follow up with text which is easy. got to text about preordering the chicken that i seen great reviews about. toward the end they gave us a card thanking for spending our anniversary with them which was super appreciated!!! * the chicken was good, but lacking a lil flavor itself. the flavor was more on the sauce. * the radicchio salad was light and tasty to eat with the bread n butter. * the burger was more the star of the meal for us. * coffee at the end of meal was delish. perfect ending with bread pudding. host was welcoming and wait staff was attentive. very nice to our two children as well. i love kid friendly places because my boys do like good food as well. but, if they ask for refill on the coke, dont or you will end up paying $21 for soft drink lol. read more

The Resturant is located in the arts district but surprisingly on a street that is not too busy in the night. It feels slightly secluded. They offer valet parking for $20 unlimited time. The restaurant is modern, the atmosphere is rich with a delicious aroma that will make you hungry. As for the food we really enjoyed the mushrooms and rice, the steak was cooked perfectly but I felt there was more butter than steak (we chose to scoop the solid layer off and place it on the side), the tartar was unique as it came with fried basil leaves. I found this refreshing! Overall I can see why it holds a Michelin star. read more

Good service and ambiance. Had an inKind credit so finally decided to try this place out. The portions were filling. The Provence drink was worth the meal alone. I would go back for it. Out of all the dishes, my favorite was the scallop pasta (delicious sauce) and onion tartine (unique and tasty). The sea bream was another unique dish I enjoyed. I never order chicken breast but decided to try it here due to the reviews - it was perfectly juicy. The flavors of the burger were a little off for me - it was juicy but tasted gamey to me and had a strong aftertaste. I'm not the biggest fan of duck, so that may have been it. However, the fries were perfectly crunchy and salty. Radicchio apparently has a bitter taste, so the salad was a bit bitter, but the croutons and cheese made up for it. The bread pudding had a nice crunchy texture. Overall I enjoyed my meal but didn't love every dish. Everything was perfectly cooked so I would say it's just a preference. I would recommend trying this place out to see for yourself. The valet was $20 and had an app. By the click of a button, you can request them to pick up your car when you're ready. You can opt to pay by cash or card (with a service fee though by card). I've personally never seen a valet app so that was pretty neat lol read more

Great experience at Camphor for their Thursday Steak Frites night. The food, service, and vibe were all on point. We had outstanding service from Luis at the bar. The bread and butter was even good.

I've heard such great things about Camphor, so it was only necessary for me to book a reservation for my birthday. I had high expectations! It started off well and there were dishes that I thoroughly enjoyed. Towards the end of the meal, it started to go downhill. For this price point, I was disappointed with the service. We tried their most popular items which included mushroom toast, oysters, tartare, and chicken. The desserts were impressionable and I would come back for this alone! The dishes were filling and their drinks were good. Ambience was cozy. It was crowded and lively. Good for people watching. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend. Ambience is on point, like stepping into a different world compared to the industrial surroundings right outside its front door. Service was professional and knowledgeable. The food... don't get me wrong, it was really good, but it was also very heavy and overly reliant on butter for flavor. In other words, it's a French restaurant. If that's your style, and you have a bunch of money to drop, then this is the place for you. It just isn't for me. read more

We heard good things about Camphor and wanted to check it out for my husband's Birthday. They have valet available, but street parking (with meters) is available as well. We got there at 5:30, and even though it'd opened only 30 minutes ago, half the tables were full. I recommend making resy! We were seated, and the service was great. We already knew what we wanted to order, and we'd heard great things about the chicken so we preordered--and we're so glad we did! The star of the show was honestly the onion tartine. It was THE BEST!! It was both of our favorites. The chicken was the second best--so juicy and they definitely sous vide it. The steak was nothing special, but the other two dishes stole our hearts. At the end, they gave us an edible candle that they lit up, which was super sweet. The ambiance was clean and beautiful as well. We really enjoyed our time!! read more

I don't usually eat burgers for dinner but le burger (wagyu & duck) is truly one of a kind when it comes to flavor and decadence. From the brioche bun to the carmelized onions to the unique flavor it's not your run of the mill, mediocre burger. I absolutely enjoyed every bite. The in house sauces paired with the pomme frittes were also a delight! read more

So good!! We had a little date night here on a Saturday night and it did not disappoint! My husband heard about this spot via a YouTube video where they raved about the burger. We started off with drinks -- I got the Provence martini which was unique and yummy. I loved all the little sides for my martini "garnish". Yes it's expensive but it comes with a side car so it's basically like 2 drinks. Food wise we got the sea bream which was a flavor and texture experience!! Loved every bite. The beef tartare was also delicious although a little hard to scoop up on the leafy tempura. The burger was of course the star of the meal. Delicious and juicy served with a side of fries we couldn't keep our hands off of. The steak was amazing as well served with au poivre sauce. I also loved the asparagus with the lemony sauce on top. For dessert we went with their 2 most popular -- the kiwi and bread pudding. Both were incredible! Our waiter was kind and made great recommendations while the manager also came by the check on us. Both were incredible! We will be back! read more

We had a reservation on a Friday night. Parking in the arts district is always a pain, but valet made it easy. There were running a little behind so we waited in the seating area and the took our drink orders. I started with the Latin quarter and it was very good. After we were sat they brought us a complimentary starter of some cheese puff type things. They were very good. There were 3 of us and we decided to all share. We ordered: - Bread & butter : DO NOT MISS!! The butter is INCREDIBLE! - scallops : very yummy - onion tartine: this was a must have - lentils and lamb: I could have skipped this - burger & fries: I'd heard so much about this, and don't get me wrong it was a great burger, but with everything else on their menu I wouldn't order it again The restaurant was bustling, but service was quick and attentive. It has a fancy industrial feel to it. I can't wait to come back! read more

came here without realizing the restaurant had received a Michelin star in 2025, so I was quite surprised to find out. The space is cozy, and the open kitchen looks very clean and well-maintained. We ordered two appetizers, three main dishes, and one dessert. Compared to other one-Michelin-star restaurants I've tried, nothing here felt particularly memorable or distinctive. My biggest concern was the pacing of the meal. After finishing the two appetizers, we had to wait about 15-20 minutes before the first main course arrived. The first and second main dishes were then served at the same time, while the third main dish didn't arrive until another 20-25 minutes later. Dessert took a similar amount of time. Overall, the meal lasted over two hours, and the long gaps between courses caused us to lose both appetite and excitement for the remaining dishes. Service was also an issue. There was only one server assigned to our section, and our area was often overlooked. He had to manage new tables while continuing service for existing ones, and it was clear he was overwhelmed. As a result, when we needed assistance, there was often no one available. Ambience: 5/5 Food: 4/5 Service: 4.5/5 read more
