This is a really cozy little place. The staff are super nice and the cocktail I had was fantastic. I'd like to come back and order a few more things to check out more of the menu. I had the cheeseburger and fries, which was tasty. It did fall apart on me very quickly and became quite messy, but it still tasted good.
Such a cute small and intimate chill bar! The music was nice and they had a dj spinning vinyls on the decks!! The drink options are good and they also have mocktails. Parking could be tough but it's a nice spot to grab drinks after a dinner around the area. I got the dreamy boy which was sweet and not super strong in alcohol.
La Fe's On'ry menu is one of the most exciting dining experiences we had lately. It's the kind of spot where every dish feels intentional ... bold flavors, thoughtful textures, and a touch of surprise. If you're someone who likes to explore beyond the usual, this is absolutely the menu to go for. What We Ordered & Loved: Bread Service Don't skip this. The cultured butter comes whipped into silky ribbons, sprinkled with smoked salt, and served with warm bread. It looks simple but the flavor is next-level. The butter is so good you'll probably want to finish every last smear. The chef made a mango jam and it goes so well! Deviled Blue Crabs One of the most eye-catching presentations of the night....served inside actual crab shells over rock salt. The filling is smoky, savory, and layered with richness from the tomato butter and a lift of Meyer lemon. It's indulgent but balanced, and definitely a conversation starter at the table. Kanpachi Crudo This was one of my personal favorites. Fresh kanpachi paired with radish, cucumber, mushrooms, and a touch of chili heat. The bee pollen kosho and chamomile oil give it a delicate, floral note that makes it stand out from the usual crudos. Bright, clean, and perfect to share. Tea Leaf Salad Easily the most surprising dish. It comes loaded with herbs, crunchy shallots, toasted nuts, tomatoes, and romaine. Every bite is different.. crunchy, tangy, fresh, with that slight umami depth from the tea leaves. If you like texture, this is the dish to order. Mussel and Potato A heartier plate that's still elegant. Mussels in a silky sake lees broth, paired with tiny potatoes that soak up all the flavor. The broth itself is so good you'll want bread on the side just to scoop it all up. Cherries and Cream Dessert here is not an afterthought. What looks rustic turns out to be layered and complex -- cherries with cream, brown butter crumble, hibiscus, and even fresh herbs to cut through the sweetness. It's creamy, crunchy, tart, and fresh all at once. A perfect ending. A final thoughts.... Service is warm and unpretentious -- the staff clearly knows the menu well and seems genuinely excited to walk you through it. Dishes come out thoughtfully paced, and the presentation strikes that perfect middle ground between rustic and refined. Insider Tips Start with the bread service -- it sets the tone and the butter is unforgettable. The deviled blue crabs are a must if you want something show-stopping. Save room for dessert -- the cherries and cream will surprise you in the best way. Portions are made for sharing -- come with at least 2-3 people so you can try more plates. Don't overlook the tea leaf salad -- it's easily one of the most unique and refreshing dishes ... Also the menu changes so its an adventure...
So relaxing, feeds the soul. The music, the seating, the natural light - such a peaceful brunch spot, and I must come back for evening cocktails. Their menu is full of craft cocktails and natural wines, and the staff is incredibly kind. We came for a late brunch and the food came out quite quickly! Great vegan, vegetarian and meat options - mostly meat / vegetarian, but easy to amend! Perfect Sunday spot or a relaxing evening cocktails! Bar seating, and couch style booth seating
How does this place have such good reviews, I don't understand! Pretty food, drinks, and restaurant decor, but bad service, bland cocktail, and overpriced food. My boyfriend and I came here on a Friday afternoon for a bite and a drink before going to an art show at a gallery a few doors down. The menu was very minimal and says they do not make substitutions or modifications. We got the deviled eggs and the charcuterie board, and when we ordered we asked if it came with any cheese (no, only meat) and if we could order cheese to go with it (also no). The only option was to order a side of bread, which it doesn't come with. We also each ordered a cocktail off their menu. The place was not busy but the wait times were very long. We finally got what we ordered and were immediately so disappointed by the "deviled eggs". Really? 1 egg cut in half for $12? That salmon roe was not a good addition either, it made them pretty but SO salty! The side of bread was the best thing we ordered, it was crispy and delicious, but the charcuterie was pretty boring. If they added cheese, or some kind of spread it would balance it so much more. It felt like half of a thought since if we didn't order break it was just a plate with sliced meat. The cocktails were honestly probably the worst part. My cocktail tasted like super watered down pineapple juice, like id you let the ice melt after finishing a glass of juice. Extremely bland. I wanted to ask for something else, but once we got our order we could not find a waiter again. We went inside too but nobody was around! After probably 30 minutes we finally caught someone and just asked for the check because we had to get going. This place really seems more like a photo op than a good place to eat. I know this area has gotten bougier, but this is too far. We went to Gyoza Bar a little up the street after the show and we're SO HAPPY with the food and cocktails!
My friends and I went to Le Fe for Sunday brunch and had amazing time! Since it was a slow Sunday we were able to easily find street parking. I had the Body and Soul cocktail! It was delicious! Love a tequila and espresso drink! The food was amazing too! It tasted really fresh and flavorful! It was my perfect breakfast! The portion size was filling! The service was amazing! Our waitress was super friendly and did not rush us. Love their adorable puppy mascots too!
Stopped at Le Fe Saturday morning as they now are open 7am for coffee and breakfast items. If you know the area specifically that block you know it is not common to find breakfast items so this was nice. Ordered the everything bagel with fried egg- don't recall the name but it had crumbled fresh cheese, avocado and green herbs. The bagel was a good size. The service was and is always 10/10. I have stopped by before for a night cap cocktail, I was so hungry that night fortunately they had fries I would recommend for cocktails and weekend AM breakfast & coffee. Daytime has a nice natural lighting with a cozy vibe, in the evening it is very dim but for sure recommend for a date night or any intimate small gathering.
Beautiful bar with a great atmosphere, a perfectly made Old Fashioned, and friendly staff--I have no complaints at all. The only reason I hesitate to leave a review is that I'd love to keep this place my hidden gem... that's how much I enjoyed it! I haven't had the chance to try the food yet, but I'll definitely be coming back soon.

La Fe is a cute and home-y wine bar in a prime location in Echo Park, across the street from Donna's and next to Reverie Bookstore. PARKING: Street parking only on a very busy Sunset, although there is more parking (albeit usually pretty full) heading into the residential area. There is a public paid lot about 5 min walking which can also fill up. FOOD: I came during a Boy Blue pop where the menu changed every week. It was delicious! Price points were $15-$20 but the portions were more small bites, not super filling. DRINKS: Cocktails are $$, although typical for the area in LA. I had the Dreamy Boy which was $17. The drink was light and tasted good, as someone who both doesn't like the taste of alcohol but also dislikes super-sweet drinks. SERVICE: Every server was very warm and welcoming. Food and drinks were served in a timely manner. For an area that can be iffy on customer service, I felt very comfortable. SEATING: They have bar seating and couch seating with stools that are pretty low, so may not be the most comfortable for long periods of time. Overall this is such a cute and cozy spot. I definitely would go again- hopefully there will be more pop-ups! read more
Escape to the heart of Echo Park and indulge in the vibrant energy of La Fe - where handcrafted cocktails meet a cozy ambiance, creating the perfect backdrop. We ordered the Earth Angel (sake, sherry, pineapple & coriander shrub, lemon) and High Lonesome (mezcal, sage, honey, lemon) Not featured are the other two drinks we ordered Dimples (blanca tequila, aloe vera liquor, cucumber, lime, yerba sante) and Body & Soul (reposado tequila, blackstrap rum, espresso [that's that me, espresso ], coconut, and black sesame. If you're a black sesame fan, ORDER THIS! Seating is first come, first serve. Our drinks did take a while to arrive. read more

After a Dodgers game, my group wandered into this gem of a bar and were met with a welcoming bartender Ivan. The cocktails were artfully balanced, the food nothing short of exquisite, and the music low enough to let laughter and conversation flow freely. If there was anything to dim the glow, it was a sparse backbar and restrooms that seemed forgotten by the staff. read more
This review is for Nawal, the Syrian food that is served inside La Fe. I swear I saw an IG reel of them serving food out of a window, but that may have changed/too much time passed since the video recording and time of visit. The seating is very comfortable, almost too comfortable. There was this couple lounging in the corner and watching their dog roam around inside. The menu was confusing because it's just a QR code. There are no photos to see what kind of food it was. We had to ask the server soo many questions. Ngl the La Fe server was annoyed that we wanted mostly the food. We ended up ordering a couple cocktails just to make her happy. We decided all the food was good. Cocktails were ok. I'd be back for the vibes. read more

Been a few times to this new spot and we love it. The cocktails are really interesting! The pink one in my photos in the Dreamy Boy, so yummy! And there's a super rich chocolate coconut one that's such an awesome dessert cocktail, I forget the name. Have also grabbed a few dinners, chicken wings and fries once and then a patty melt with fries. Both good. Attentive cool bartenders that are fun to chat with. Also. I love the wallpaper! Haha. Low lighting with candles is relaxing, and I love the music choices they play on vinyl. All around good vibe. Regarding what several people said ie "colonizer vibes" and "gentrification"... uh... y'all must not be from the neighborhood, or else you are somehow uninformed. I have lived in Echo Park for over a decade. And the people who run La Fe are the same people who had Ostrich Farm - the super delish, very popular spot that was in the exact same spot as La Fe right before it. We spoke to one of the owners, Jaime, during our first visit and he was very cool. They've had this location for many years, and have survived and come back with a different vision after the pandemic. "La Fe" means "the faith" in Spanish, that's why they chose the name, I asked. I thought it meant "fairy" in French, lol - nope ! So - disregard the haters who are throwing undeserved shade at someone who has actually been part of the community for years (they opened Ostrich Farm in 2014)!! It's that kind of behavior that makes people hate Yelp. For real people. It's mean, untrue, unhelpful, and can really harm local small businesses. So anyways - if you're in the neighborhood, definitely go check out this new spot, especially if you liked Ostrich Farm! It's not the same - but it is the same people, and you will probably dig it! Definitely a good date night spot. Vibey / tasty / fun! read more
