I went here on a whim for an early solo dinner on a Friday evening. I went with the Tasting menu option that ranges from $59-79. Worth every penny. The restaurant menu changes about twice a week so there is always something new to explore. Everyone was friendly from the hostess to the bar staff. I sat at the bar for the open kitchen concept. They have indoor and outdoor seating as well. I was given excellent French wine selections to pair with my meal. It has a fresh appeal while still being a neighborhood gem. My first visit and I will definitely return. read more

Stellar experience. Everything we ordered was fantastic!! Wonderfully flavorful, especially the baguette and butter. French bistro but more elevated, with a fantastic wine menu. Parking the back! read more

French bistro or at least a California restaurant that heavily leans French in the Mar Vista area. I didn't have a reservation and was hoping to be able to squeeze in at the bar right at opening (since this place is wildly popular and the space is a good size but not huge). As soon as you walk through the door or talk to someone from the restaurant, the great sense of hospitality is evident. The place was filling fast with people who had reservations as well as a couple of fellow walk-ins. I was really tempted with their reasonably priced tasting menu, but I wanted to get the chicken I've heard so much about. I also got the very delicious and well made pâté en croûte. And I also ordered a nice glass of burgundy to wash it all down. Usually, I'm a little skeptical with ordering the chicken at restaurants, but there should be zero worry at this place. The chicken was delicious. I'm still thinking about the sauces. Just a wonderful meal and a wonderful experience sitting at the bar. I hope to come back soon and get the full tasting menu. read more

I remember eating Chef Craig Hopson's food when he previously opened Shirley Brasserie at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in November 2023, and I wasn't impressed. Now opening up his own Electric Bleu, he seems liberated from the shackles of having to run a hotel restaurant and is releasing his energy full force to create culinary delights. Very compact restaurant with bar seats, regular tables, and outdoor sidewalk dining that expands the seating capacity. Impressive floor to ceiling refrigerated all glass wine space and bronzed tin ceiling adds a touch of class. Shocking electric blue crest jutting out above the restaurant acts as a French inspired fine dining beacon. 0) Complimentary vinegared cauliflower & carrots. Sweet-sour pickled cornishon with aromatic tarragon. 1) Meaty, nutty, chewy Chanterelle mushrooms from Washington were atop soft, moist, plush, soft, scrambled egg swimming in meaty beefy broth. 2) Timbale of Porcini mushroom savory yet sweet, cushy, Panna Cotta-like Crème Caramel. Slices of Porcini that were a bit firm and fibrous to soft and bit gooey. Sauced with caramelized Tamari Shōyu/soy sauce. 1-2a) Pouilly Fumé, Sauvignon Blanc, Domaine Rénaud, Loire 2024: Taste: Myers lemony-apple cider, musky, acidic, lemon zesty, light cinnamon. 3) Grilled meaty Quail was arduously totally deboned except for the legs and wings. Stuffed with pork sausage that didn't taste at all of the refreshing licorice tasting fennel as described in the menu. Instead the sausage tasted as though it were flavoured with earthy sage, and the sausage itself tasted dull and listless. It was reprieved by the light, refreshing, lively agrodolce, viscous plum sauce and the sliced fresh plums. Little stack of braised wax yellow beans for the vegetable accompaniment. 4) Fat logs of steamed Dutch White Asparagus topped with chive chiffonade in a Beurre Blanc Leek Purée. Subtle flavour, touch sweet. Texture is initially tough sliding into fibrous, then mellowing out to softness. More of a symbol for celebrating spring. 3-4a) Pinot Noir, Maison Goichot, Payl Benoit 2023: Sweet, smooth, jammy blackberry, blueberry, touch bitter tannins, acidic-sour. It's similar to many California reds. 5) Peach Bombe Alaska: Mimics Baked Alaska, an old school "continental" dessert. Base of slightly unripe peach as a sturdy base. Small boule of sweet-tart, crimson Raspberry sherbet. Touch of brandy. All surrounded by a gooey, scorched egg white Méringue. Our waitress was efficient, accommodating, helpful with wine recommendations. No time for chit chat in a very busy restaurant. However, a friendly, entertaining French staff member reminisced about his father in France when he saw my Laguiole knife and jokingly sharpened the restaurant knife when I told him I brought my own knife since most restaurant knives aren't usually very sharp. Amazing how memories are unlocked by a simple object. Overall, Electric Bleu may be classified as New American, but it feels more contemporary, French Nouvelle Cuisine. Use of more seasonal vegetables and fruits and less emphasis on meats and heavy sauces creates more light, digestible, healthful eating more ideal for modern living where much of our work is sedentary. 4+ Stars read more

I've been to some truly incredible restaurants over the past few months and Electric Bleu in Mar Vista is absolutely one of them. A few friends and I met up for a "treat yo'self" dinner and it exceeded every expectation. Electric Bleu is a modern French bistro with a cozy, neighborhood feel that somehow manages to be both refined and completely unpretentious. Everything from the service to the food was executed well, very well. Our server, Jessica P., was wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and incredibly gracious, especially when our entrees took quite a while to come out. She more than made up for the less-than-welcoming demeanor of the staff member who brought our water, bread, and a few of our dishes. Between the four of us, we ordered quite a bit including the chilled pea soup topped with bacon, Gruyere, and a caramelized onion wafer (my appetizer), a half dozen fresh oysters with classic condiments, the salad of nectarines with burrata, pistachios, and basil, the grilled quail, the steak au poivre with its rich green peppercorn cognac sauce (my entree), the signature rotisserie chicken, baguette with fleur de sel butter, Electric Fries seasoned with their addictive chicken salt, and six glasses of wine. And everything I personally tried was exceptional. The pea soup was silky and packed with flavor, while the steak au poivre was cooked beautifully and smothered in a peppercorn cognac sauce that was rich but not overwhelming. Pair these with the Electric Fries and you've got a combination that I'll be thinking about for a long, long time. One of my friends ordered the rotisserie chicken and couldn't stop raving about it, saying it was unbelievably moist and one of the best chicken dishes he'd ever had. High praise from a fellow foodie! What surprised me most was how reasonably priced everything was for the quality of the food and overall experience. West LA has no shortage of fantastic restaurants and Electric Bleu has quickly earned a spot near the top of my list. I can't wait to return and see what seasonal dishes are on the menu next. read more

As soon as you walk into this place, you already know the food will be good from the smell alone. Was greeted by a charming host who can speak fluent authentic French. Seated comfortably in the corner, we had the choice of tasting menu or regular anything you want menu. We chose the later and had no regrets. But after loving every dish sent our way, I do want to come back for the tasting menu. I noticed menu is seasonal (great sign that the chefs stay on top of best ingredients), so good luck ordering what we had today... but nonetheless, here we go: Pea soup. SO GOOD. I slurped up every drop and cleaned the bowl with my bread. Baguette and butter. It's perfect. A must order if you order soup. See sentences above. Nectarine salad. Omgggggg freshness on a plate. Lamb. Perfect cook and it comes with an amazing puree. Roasted chicken. The side potatoes alone is worth the order. The roll cake with strawberries. I don't even like dessert but thought this was delicious. 10/10 would come again and recommend. read more

Electric Bleu - French Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food presentation was on point, and everything we tried had great flavor. The standout was the hanger steak. For what's typically considered a lesser cut, it was excellent and honestly tasted better than the 12 oz filet mignon I recently had at Musso & Frank (my previous last steak out), while also being less expensive. My only real complaint was how cramped the restaurant felt. It's a very small space, and while I understand they're trying to maximize seating, it was noticeable. The staff was incredibly friendly, but when the tiny waitresses are constantly bumping into tables as they walk by, you know the dining room is a bit too tight. Overall, I had a very good experience and would definitely come back to try more of the menu. I could easily see this becoming a 5-star spot for me. For now, I think the current 4.5-star average is a fair rating. read more

Stopped into this French hidden gem over in the Mar Vista area and was very pleased with my entire experience. I'm a huge fan of French cuisine, and have already been to all the other LA options, so was glad to find this new one to try. Inside is quite large and all seating is indoor, they don't have any outside seating. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered arrived quickly. They don't have a dedicated parking lot, but free neighborhood street parking is easy to find. I started off with the Pâté en CroÛte which was wonderful. I tend to like creamier pate but this a nice and hearty country version. Next came the Spring Pea Soup which had nice flavors but I just was not a fan of, that is more on me though because I am not a fan of pea flavor, I would have preferred onion soup. For my entree I chose the Steak au Poivre which was fabulous. It was cooked perfectly and had great flavors. For dessert we chose the Strawberry Roll Cake and thought it was delicious. We ordered 2 inches but wished we would have got more. Overall a fantastic French dinner in a great setting, I would recommend to anyone. read more

Probably closer to 3.5 stars, but rounded up to 4 given the (free!!) parking lot. Food at Electic Bleu was solidly fine. The Fries and stellar wine options by the glass were the standouts for me. The Roast Chicken and Lamb were cooked well, but neither of the sauces quite hit. Also ordered a Gruyère Ravioli that was overpowered by its tomato sauce. The menu does have a lot of options, as in addition to the main menu you can order any of the pre-fixe options à la carte. Portions are quite large...we split two entrees and two apps amongst three and that was plenty of food. They were quick to move us out once we hit 2 hours at the table. read more

Delicious and creative food served by a warm knowledgeable staff. The server helped me pick the perfect wines to pair with my meal. The open kitchen is awesome for those who love to watch the chefs work! The menu is well thought out with high quality, seasonal ingredients that are beautifully presented. Thank you Chef Craig and the Electric Bleu team for a fantastic dinner! read more

We had an amazing dining experience at Electric Bleu, which bills itself as a "California-kissed French Bistro." As soon as you step inside, you're warmly greeted like an old friend, setting the tone for an exceptional dining experience. We were seated at the counter, offering a full, close-up view of the kitchen, and the entire staff was incredibly welcoming as we were being seated, making us feel right at home. The menu was absolutely incredible, full of familiar foods but prepared in thoughtful, creative, and approachable ways. We couldn't resist the tasting menu but also added some à la carte items that caught our attention. Every dish we ate was a wonderful culinary journey full of flavor, carefully executed and explained. A few standouts for me: the Hokkaido scallops, whose nuanced flavors shined through with every bite. The grilled octopus was probably the most tender I have ever had. The signature roasted chicken was absolutely delightful. It was juicy and packed with flavor; served in a beautiful sauce with potatoes so good, they deserve their own billing. Also, I cannot stress this enough: the pacing was perfect! We never felt rushed. Our dishes were presented ONLY when we were ready, and we never had to worry about plates piling up in front of us. We're already looking forward to our next visit. read more

Electric Blue has become one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. We've probably been a dozen times now, and what keeps bringing us back is how consistently good the entire experience is; warm and friendly staff, fantastic food, great wine, and service that manages to feel casual and relaxed while still being attentive. The food has never disappointed. Everything feels thoughtful and beautifully executed without the restaurant ever feeling overly formal. The atmosphere is equally great; inviting, intimate, and perfect for a date night. Because we inevitably end up enjoying several glasses of wine with dinner, it's not necessarily an inexpensive night out, so we tend to save Electric Blue for our more special date nights. But every time we go, we leave feeling like it was worth it. There's something especially nice about having a neighborhood restaurant you can return to again and again and know the experience will be consistently excellent. Electric Blue has become that place for us. Highly recommend! read more

Upon learning my dog's name was Remy, one of the staff members proceeded to have a full on conversation with him in French. From that moment on, I knew I would love this place. We enjoyed the scallop crudo, chicken salt fries, and sea bass. Everything was generously portioned and cooked to perfection. We ended the meal with the pavlova dessert which was citrusy and refreshing! Very happy to have Electric Bleu in the neighborhood. I look forward to coming back! read more

Just got back from a delightful "date night" dinner at Electric Bleu. From the moment the hostess checked us in, we felt like we were welcomed guests. Jessica, our server, was wonderful. She walked us through the menu and after we ordered suggested an absolutely delicious Pinot Noir that paired perfectly with everything. And Benjamin, the general manager, even made a point of stopping by to chat for a few minutes. The whole experience was terrific. And the food... We started with the baguette and butter. Because if you are claiming to be a French bistro, that's kind of the litmus test. It passed, with flying colors. Next up was the nectarine salad and the cepes. They were both new additions and i wish I could provide better descriptions, but they were both outstanding. The salad was a perfect blend of sweet and sour and salty, and the cepes were literally bursting with umami (okay, not literally, but you get my gist). Literally (and yes, this time literally) wiped the bowl clean with the baguette. For mains we had the quail stuffed with sausage, the steak au poivre, and the French fries. Every bite was delicious. Hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to, it would be the steak. Desert was a peach with raspberry sorbet and a toasted meringue cap. I'm not a big dessert guy, but this was worth the extra minutes on the treadmill. All in all, a truly lovely evening and we're so lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in the neighborhood. We can't wait to come back. read more

Came here for an early family holiday dinner yesterday Parking- there is a lot in the back Ambiance- it's a modern French/ American vibe. Bathrooms have blue light and some flashing which is fun. We had a group of 7 and the booth/table we were at was a bit tricky/ narrow (think Paris) to get in and out. Service -5/5 She was very friendly and patient. Explained the dishes and specials and portions (French). Food-5/5 Everything was good! From the oysters to the scallop crudo (my favorite appetizer), and onion soup, the starters were a hit. The duck breast was delicious- tender and medium rare The beef check bourguignon was tender and flavorful but more American than French. Wish it had more mushrooms (there were 2-3) and wish it had roasted diced carrots and potatoes instead of over mashed potatoes. Ambiance- 4/5 It's cute, small restaurant but the seating for our group was a bit difficult and a few of the people in our group had to use lights to see the menu since it was a bit darker read more

We've driven out to Electric Bleu twice in the last month, and we don't even live nearby. That's pretty rare for us, so I think that says a lot. The first time we went, my husband took a bite of the steak and just started chuckling. He looked at me and said, "This is really good." It had a beautiful crust, was cooked perfectly, and was incredibly flavorful. After trying it for myself I told him, "This is what I'm talking about when I say i want steak au poivre". The roasted chicken deserves just as much attention. It's one of those dishes that's easy to skip because you're thinking about steak, but don't. The skin was perfectly crisp, the meat was incredibly juicy, and it ended up being one of our favorite things we ordered. We've had great service both visits, parking has been easy every time, and the $50 corkage is very fair if you're bringing a nice bottle. It's not often we find ourselves making the drive back to a restaurant this quickly, but Electric Bleu has definitely earned a spot on our short list. Looking forward to coming back again. read more

My husband wanted to check out the new French place in the neighborhood, so we made a last-minute dinner reservation and came here on a Friday night in February. We found street parking close to the restaurant easily. Electric Bleu has both indoor and outdoor seating, though it looked like most of their seating was indoor. It's a tight restaurant, and they were busy on a Friday night, but we got seated immediately. The tables are close together for the most part, and in this sense it felt more like a restaurant in NYC than in LA. Our server came over with waters and menus right away. I've heard that the menu here changes somewhat frequently. My husband ordered the fish, which was a white fish that I believe came with a carrot puree and some other vegetables. It was delicious and a good option for a lighter main. I ordered the steak frites, which came with fries that were garnished with chicken salt, an Australian condiment that is not well known or popular in the US. Both the steak and fries were excellent - for anyone who hasn't tried fries with chicken salt, I recommend coming here to try them ASAP. You'll never go back to regular fries. We thought the food was top-tier, and this is now one of our favorite French restaurants on the west side. Would highly recommend and will be back. read more

Everything about this restaurant was absolutely lovely! The vibes were just right, the service was fantastic and the food was really good. We especially enjoyed the baguette that our waitress recommended (10/10!!) and the corn beignets that came with the soup. The tomato salad was summer on a plate. I probably wouldn't order the mushrooms or ravioli next time, but the salmon was perfectly cooked and very tasty! They accidentally brought us the wrong dessert and so we got to try two-- the roll cake wasn't my favorite but I quite enjoyed the peach one that was brought by mistake. Very cute spot for a date night! read more

We just had a wonderful dinner at Electric Bleu! We had the steak au poivre which was tender, flavorful, lean and a beautiful medium-rare, sitting in a very nice sauce. The fellas sitting next to us were eyeing it, maybe hoping I would throw them a taste but No! Mine! We also had the butter-poached halibut which sat in a tasty clam broth. She would have finished it if it wasn't for eating all of those incredible chicken salt frites, which were so addictive. We started with the pâtè en croute which I am going to definitely order again! We finished with the pavlova which had a granita flavored with an Australian shrub of an amazing citrus-like flavor. A special shout out to Ryan, Jelly,Justin,Jin, Susie and Benjamin. Excellent staff. Stay Beautiful, Madalyne and Chris read more

Easy reservations, easy parking, and a nice little patio. The service was good and chill in the LA style, chatted about wine options without a hint of snootiness. The baguette was great, same with the steak au poivre. The highlight were the fries, which were cooked PERFECTLY, and had a ton of flavor thanks to the "chicken salt." Though I might ask for light chicken salt next time, it became powerful over time. The one miss for me was the ravioli, which is only 4 of them for $24 and just aren't that amazing. Overall, a cool little spot! read more

My wife and I have been here several times since it opened and we've had a fantastic experience each time. Always a great vibe and great music as well. Then there's the food. My wife and I have had several date nights there since it opened and each time the food has been spot on with elevated French classics. It's really hard to choose what our favorite is, because it's all so good. We decided to have my wife's birthday party with 12 of our close friends. After speaking with the very friendly manager, Benjamin, we decided on a family style menu, which was definitely the right move for the 12 of us. All of us had an amazing night (especially my wife), and our guests were impressed by the food, service and ambiance. I even forgot that one of our guests was vegan, and they seamlessly pivoted to a vegan menu for him on the spot! Cannot recommend this spot enough! read more

We had a great dinner at Electric Bleu! We ordered everything that our waitress recommended to us. The tomato salad was a star- the dressing on it was flavorful and delicious! We ordered a baguette to dip in the dressing per our waitresses recommendation. The steak au poivre was cooked perfectly and the flavor was great. It was very tender. The French fries were great dipped in the sauce (I thought the fries were too salty, but my friends really enjoyed them so just personal preference). The chicken was juicy and the sauce and potatoes it came with were delicious. We also loved the dauphine potatoes with the chive aioli. We felt like the desserts were the best part- the chocolate mousse (available every week) reminded us of the texture of mousse in Paris which is so hard to find! The rice pudding was the special of the week (they do a special each week) and we loved it! The restaurant is super cute (a little tight with some 2 seater tables in the middle of the walking space) Overall highly recommend! read more

Terrific food in an intimate setting. Sitting at the chefs counter gave us insight into the finely choreographed operation. We were amazed at how many people were working the kitchen side by side but not in each other's way. Pate en croute was a perfect starter. Chanterelle mushrooms over an eggplant flan was delicate and savory. A smoked salmon blini served on a light pancake did not stint on the salmon and roe. A crispy skinned roast chicken did not disappoint. And the accompanying potatoes stood on their own. Salt level could be cut a little. Finishing up with a perfect passion fruit tart (fruit fresh from the chefs tree) light and nice pastry. Service was attentive and pleasant. Nice to see a chef smiling and enjoying seeing his patrons happy. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

I went to Electric Blue on a Sunday night and it was pretty darn busy. The restaurant is nice and they serve French/American cuisine. I had the beef cheek (which was tasty ) and my son had the combination with the duck in it. Everything was tasty, but I thought the portion was fairly small on the beef cheek for the price. Our server was nice, but he double charged us for something , it was a mistake. They don't print out the full bill with all the itemization to hand you at the table. They just handed it to you on a computerized tablet. So it's very hard to see any discrepancies. It took a while to clear it up and will have to look at our credit card bill to make sure everything turned ok Make sure you check your final bill! read more

Electric Bleu - Mar Vista This was our second visit to Electric Bleu, and once again the experience was exceptional. The restaurant delivers a rare combination of exquisite cuisine, meticulous attention to detail, and truly outstanding service. Food: Every dish reflects the team's commitment to sourcing the highest-quality ingredients. The cheeses are selected from the Beverly Hills Cheese Store, the lamb is sourced directly from ranchers in Australia through the chef's long-standing relationships (the chef being a former Michelin-star recipient), and the chicken comes from Amish farmers on the East Coast. The result is remarkable depth of flavor and a level of care that is evident with every bite. Each plate was prepared beautifully and with precision. Service: Our server, Aimée, once again provided exceptional hospitality. She remembered us from our visit over a month ago--including where we sat and what we ordered--which made the evening feel incredibly personal. Her style is warm, authentic, and perfectly balanced. She checks in at exactly the right moments, never rushed, never intrusive, even on a fully booked night. Her professionalism, attentiveness, and natural ease truly elevate the dining experience. Management: We were also delighted to be greeted by the owner, Mai. On our first visit she welcomed us in an elegant, gracious manner, and this time she was working alongside her team, apron on, engaging with guests and supporting staff throughout the evening. Despite the busy dining room, she took the time to speak with us and made us feel genuinely appreciated. Her presence and hospitality set the tone for the entire restaurant. Overall: Electric Bleu is an exceptional addition to the Mar Vista neighborhood. The quality of the food, the thoughtfulness behind the ingredients, and the outstanding service make it a standout dining destination. We feel fortunate to have this restaurant nearby and look forward to returning. Highly recommended. read more

WOW, WOW, WOW, that's sums up Electric Bleu. My boyfriend and I came in tonight and got the tasting menu with the wine pairing, and let me tell you this was easily some of the best food I've ever had! Every dish was exceptional but the one that stood out to the both of us was the "gnocchi parisien, escargot, snail butter domaine philip robert & fils, "le ronsoy", marsannay, 2023" it was mouth watering. Every wine pairing matched so well and each dish was well portioned. We didn't leave felling skimmed or overly full. The staff was beyond attentive and sincere.

I had read this was a neighborhood French bistro and it truly is. The sweet hostess Mel truly sets the tone for the vibe of the place.

How lucky are we to have so many amazing, delicious farmer market-sourcing restaurants in Mar Vista? I'd driven by this place a ton without realizing what a gem it is. We dined here with another couple so we were able to sample a variety of wines, dishes, and desserts. We ended up with 2 of the warm baguettes. The first one was a vehicle for the salted, cultured butter. The second one was for not wasting a drop of the delicious pan sauces from the steak au poivre and the signature roasted chicken. We had two different version of fresh spring peas - one a side dish and the other a pea soup. Both featured the fresh essence of peas at their seasonal height The fries are amazing. It mnight be the paprika-laced "chicken salt" or maybe they're doused in duck fat (I'm just guessing here, but whatever is on them, they were scrumptious. The wine list is sophisticated and leans French as befits a French bistro. The desserts were all delicious (we got all three of them!). The service was gracious and helpful. This neighborhood French bistro is a total winner. Make it part of your local routine and you will not be disappointed. read more

First of all, love that Mar Vista has a local restaurant , we were able to walk to such a great place. The food was outstanding, we ordered the potato dauphine and raw tuna escabeche appetizers and they were both perfect, the chive dip goes crazy on the potato dish. I ordered a roast chicken (perfect) and my girlfriend ordered the seafood Bouillabaisse and the depth of flavor was exquisite. We also got the green beans with the mustard vinegar sauce and they were also to die for, I didn't even like green beans until today. Overall very cool vibe and very excited to come back!!!

In the former home of the Rustic Kitchen lies a hip, new French Bistro, Electric Bleu led at the helm by Chef Craig Hopson. Fresh from Hollywood's Shirley Brasserie and New York's Le Cirque, Hopson serves up some might fine French bistro cuisine right here in Mar Vista. Slide into a cozy banquette and take in the beautiful glass wine display case. Roast chicken like you've never tasted before and Liver Mousse with caramelized onion crackers highlight the small menu. In addition you will find classic French faire such as Steak Au Poivre with green peppercorns cognac sauce. We enjoyed the Brentwood Corn Soup with layers of flavor including the crab-basil beignets.

Been wanting to try it out and came for dinner last week. Feels like a home-y, locals only kind of brasserie place that focuses on French inspired dishes. Reservations can be tough but possible. The service is adequate. They came by several times to check in on us and the GM comes to every table to check on the guests. Really enjoyed that piece, little things like that feel like they go a long way. Food, there were some good dishes but overall, it didn't feel super memorable. The baguette is good and I mean... we just don't do bread like the French. The cabbage starter was great. The rest of the dishes: the steaks the chicken, the broccolini and the passion fruit and chocolate mousse desserts were good but not really memorable. They definitely made up for the decent food with the service. read more
