I've lived in Culver City pretty much my whole life, and I genuinely don't know how I've never tried Meet in Paris before. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful outdoor patio. It's such a great spot to sit outside on a sunny day. They also have an amazing lunch prix fixe menu, plus happy hour and daily specials that are honestly hard to beat. Since it's a French restaurant, we had to try the escargot. The texture was great, it was super flavorful, and dipping the bread into the sauce it came with was chef's kiss. I got the Bistro Burger, and wow it was so good. The Wagyu beef was juicy, the bun was soft and fluffy, and everything just worked. I know you don't usually go to a French restaurant for the fries, but these were genuinely some of the best fries I've ever had. I also found out they have bottomless mimosas and weekly jazz nights, which immediately made me want to come back. Overall, I had such an amazing experience here. Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. I will 1000% be returning. read more

Meet in Paris - French Near Me - Culver City, California

Pleasantly surprised! First of all, the host was super effective in tabling us during a very hectic hour (world cup starting!) and immediately sat us at a great table right at our reservation time. Drinks were good - loved the martini. Star of the show was the duck entree and duck tacos! Yes, I love duck. Will be going back. read more

Wow. I'm not sure what happened since my last visit, but the food has drastically declined. I ordered the escargot, and the garlic butter tasted watered down. The crème brûlée seemed to be made with sour cream instead of heavy cream. The mussels were also far from the original taste. Really bummed by the food overall. read more

I was super stoked to check this spot out -- great location in the heart of Culver City, and the menu looked fantastic! Staff members were friendly, and our server in particular was super nice. The restaurant was extremely busy, which minimized check-ins with us, but I did generally feel taken care of. Unfortunately, I had a rather subpar experience with the food itself. At somewhat high prices, I expected a stellar croque monsieur. I generally found the dish salty, greasier than it should have been, and lacking in flavor. I also ordered the tomato basil soup, and it was extremely salty and tasted of pureed tomatoes with no seasoning. Additionally, my friend's Benedict actually came out incorrectly (crab instead of lobster). I should also mention that the menu is somewhat unclear about what is/isn't included in a meal. I recommend asking upfront before deciding, especially for combos exclusions and which side dishes are paired with entrees (note that the Benedicts come with additional sides that aren't listed). Unfortunately, it didn't feel worth the trip with so many other great restaurants within that same block. read more

Food: 3/4 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 I was craving for French food and found this restaurant and wanted to try it out. It was also Dine LA week so they had some fixed menu also. I was easy street parking across the street and the restaurant has nice indoor and outdoor seating. For starter I ordered crab cakes and mussels with truffles & mushrooms. From dine LA menu, I ordered escargot cooked with garlic and parsley butter, I wish they just cook with traditional way, I did not like that taste of parsley in it. Boeuf Bourguignon was the main entree and I had a high hope for it since I really miss eating it. When it arrived the portion was small. It tasted no where close to authentic. I was really disappointed. Crème Brûlée was acceptable. It could be a nice hang out spot with friends for happy hour and live music but do not expect authentic French food. read more

The food was great, however, the service was lacking. They were not very friendly and it took a while to be able to place our order. The restaurant is cute and I love the outdoor seating. My salad was fresh and delicious and the coffee was great as well. Price is in portions are fair, I had the service not been offputting. It would be five stars. read more

Food: Ordered the Caesar salad. It was simple and delicious. If you love the overhyped companion Caesar, you'll LOVE this one. The tuna tartare was so good. The crispy potato chips were such a nice touch. The gruyere cheese in the French onion soup was incredible. Steak frites and burger were out of this world! So flavorful. Don't forget to get the espresso martini!! Ambiance: 10/10. They play live jazz music!!! Perfect for a date night Customer service: 10/10. So friendly so quick read more

Both the food and service are amazing! It is located in a pleasing part of Culver City. I love their onion soup!

3.5 stars We ordered off their dineLA menu for lunch (choice of appetitizer or dessert with main entree for $25). We sat outside where their patio takes up the majority of the sidewalk. The food was okay, nothing really stood out at amazingly delicious. Gnocchi a pretty good. It came with 4 large pieces of gnocchi Escargot was out of the shell and smothered in green sauce like a pesto with a slice of crisp baguette (like a crouton). The croque monsieur was okay. The cheese was a bit burnt on top. The mussels were good, but I do wish there was some bread with it. The service was fine. Our food came out in a timely manner. We weren't overly checked on. Street parking can be tough so it's best to best in a nearby structure where the first hour is free. read more

"Bonjour...bienvenue..." What could be better than meeting up with a friend for lunch at a cozy French Bistro?...Sitting outside along the sidewalk enjoying the company, warm weather and good food...Feeling like you're in Paris if only for an afternoon...Can you picture this? Sebastian welcomed me and set up a nice table for us. The outdoor patio was hopping. Then Tiffany, our server, stopped by to introduce herself, brought us water and gave us time to look at the menu. The menu offers salads, sandwiches, soups, pasta, fish and a kids menu. They also have a Full Service Bar. We ordered: ~Chicken Pesto Panini w/fries ~ 5/5 (Huge - can share or take hone) ~Breakfast Quesadilla ~ zuchini, avocado, feta cheese, scrambled eggs also huge and shareable. *Reservations available/Welcome Walk-Ins *Breakfast served until 3:00pm every day *Cashless Restaurant *Street parking can get tricky during the weekends *Try parking in Trader Joe's (a few blocks east of the restaurant) read more

It's wonderful to see how far Culver City has come. So many new cafes and bars. The streets and sidewalks have been upgraded and the traffic redirected so walking is encouraged. A true new beginning. Today we tried "Meet me in Paris". A small open air side walk cafe run by a warm and inviting staff. French language was heard throughout. The food was surprisingly very good. My Beef Bourguignon was super rich and tasty. A real treat and I'd have it again and again it was so good. The French onion soup was spot on perfect. As someone whom craves soup, this was a throughback to my earlier years eating it daily in DC at the famous in Georgetown. The endive & Roquefort salad was light and delicious. Michelle loved her Filet Au Poivre, as I did the next day for lunch appetizer! The show stopper however was the chocolate soufflé! Straight up unbelievable if you're a chocolate aficionado! So rich and gooey, perfectly accompanied by a scoop of delicious vanilla bean ice cream. A must try. To note it also serves delicious French wine by the glass or bottle and Michelle adored her French Pinot noir. We'll add to our rotation! Please visit and you won't be sorry! read more

Culver City is happening and I've been missing it...lol... It's been so long since I've last had a meal in Culver or even spending time here. Well, Dine LA is happening and what better way than to try places you've been eyeing. I've heard good things about this place from friends that's been numerous of times and each visit was always amazing. Of course as it's part of Dine LA, it was a given to come and try this place for the first time. We had a reservation on a Friday night which was the start of Dine LA and let me say, this place was packed. Every single tables inside and out was utilized. They've made a name for themselves if it was that lively. Good on their part. It wasn't a long wait till our table was ready. We got seated on the patio side just along the street. Covered canopy with both hi top tables and standard tables. Positive side, there were loads of heat lamps as well as heated fireplaces separating pretty much all the tables. Gotta keep everyone warm during our LA winter. Inside is quite small compared to the seating outdoor with only a few tables. As Dine LA was happening, they offered a three course meal for 45.00 per person. If you weren't interested in that, their regular menu does offer loads of amazing dishes as well. We started off a bottle of their French Pinot which was quite nice. Not too strong and very smooth. Nice pair for dinner. Service was excellent and was taken good care by our waitress which I didn't get her name. She was great and very friendly. Dine LA Menu Starters -Soupe a l'oignon (French onion soup) melted Gruyère and brioche croutons -Ahi tuna tartare- avocado, balsamic reduction and spicy Cajun chips -Escargot a l'ail- 1/2 dozen escargot in garlic and parsley butter Mains -Boeuf Bourguignon- slow roasted beef stew with creamy potatoes puree in red wine sauce -Coq au Vin- braised chicken leg with glazed carrots, pearl onions and bordelaise sauce -Moules Frites (Mussels and fries)- PEI mussels in bisque sauce with garlic, Chablis, brandy Dessert -Crème brûlée- vanilla bean and turbinando sugar -Apple tarte tatin- caramelized apples with puff pastry dough and caramel sauce -Profiteroles- choux dough filled with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sauce and roasted almonds. We each went with one of the starters. The French onion soup was perfect. The broth with the melted cheese, it was amazing. The flavors of everything paired together were perfect. Tuna tartare was great. The seasoning with the glaze and chips to paired with was great. Also fish was perfect and fresh. Lastly the escargot. If this doesn't scream French, I didn't know what does. I've had it at other restaurants and I can say this was amazing. The garlic sauce was perfect. Snails had a nice taste to it and quite tasty. Not tough at all. Everything was excellent. Mains, the boeuf Bourguignon was tasty. Nice chunks of beef with a nice thick sauce and pared with mashed potatoes. Sauce was excellent and not too strong. And the mussels, which was a hefty portion. The sauce which was like a lobster bisque was excellent. I'm use to a wine broth but the bisque was amazing. Nice meaty mussels cooked perfectly. We had to order a side of baguette for the bisque. Dessert, the profiteroles which I highly recommend. Two amazing pieces of puffed pastries filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with chocolate sauce. Mouthwatering at its best. And lastly the apple tarte, the right amount of sweetness and baked to perfection also served with ice cream. I can say that my first time here was amazing. The service, the food and everything was amazing. Not only dinner, they're also offering Dine LA for lunch. Regardless, it's going to be a priority to come back for another meal. The full menu looked amazing. Food was delicious and everyone left full and satisfied. Oh, there's some street parking if you could find them but loads of parking structures nearby. read more

Came here for Dine in LA week. Nice setting of tables and chairs outside on the street in front of their restaurant. The Dine in LA menu was $45 per person with a set of appetizer, entree, and dessert. People can choose one of each from their dine in LA menu that includes appetizer, entree, and dessert. We chose escargots, beef Bourguignon, and crème brûlée. Escargots had garlic and parsley seasoning with biter taste. Beef Bourguignon tasted like asian style beef stew but meat is tender and few vegetables in this dish. Crème brûlée had a sweet and creamy taste as a dessert dish with crunchy crisp of sugar candy on top. I also ordered crab cakes and mussels. I feel like none of these French dishes stand out for my liking. Service was good and they let us choose our table. read more

TL;DR Dirty, false advertised menu, and not worth your time Unfortunately, this is a where do I begin situation. After looking at the happy hour menu advertising oysters for $1.50, I decided to head over to try them. First, the menu is completely falsely advertised as everything on the menu in person is more expensive than the online menu. They have to know this is a problem as I just read a review saying the same thing from a MONTH AG Second, every piece of dish ware was dirty and there was a 'weird' substance floating in my partners beer. Everyone, it was so bad that I literally had to leave and didn't get a chance to eat. Wait staff was so unapologetic. Wouldn't come here if it was the last restaurant on earth. read more

So I chose this restaurant cause it was near the Kirk Douglas Theater (I was attending a show after dinner). Since I love French food, this restaurant seemed like a good choice cause of location but also food and atmosphere. The location is excellent since it's in the heart of downtown Culver City but if you choose to eat outside, you should be aware it's sandwiched in between the sidewalk and street do it gets loud. That being said, the outside seating gives off a "French bistro" vibe. Very cool. The inside is small and hot but it was a bit quieter. Now, the food was a hit and miss. I really feel whether or not you have a good meal depends on what you order. For example, I ordered the filet and frites but the steak didn't come with the Béarnaise sauce I ordered and was undercooked. The frites were excellent though. In addition, I also ordered the crab cakes which were disappointing. They tasted frozen or not hand made which explains how fast they came out. My GF ordered the Duck confit and was way better than my dinner. While the service is friendly, I'm not sure I'd ask for recommendations. You're better off going with your gut instinct. All in all, it is an ok restaurant but I will go back someday to try other dishes. read more

This is a small restaurant in downtown Culver that is charming and does have a European feel with the outdoor seating. However, the seating area is a bit small, so it is a tight squeeze to get into some of the chairs. My friends and I visited during Dine LA week, and I ordered from the lunch menu. I selected the duck tacos and a berry cobbler for dessert. The duck tacos were okay. The meat was a little bit tough, and it was a creative choice to use a crepe as the "tortilla" for the taco. However, the crepe didn't have much flavor and made the taco extra floppy, so the meal was a bit messy. However, the berry cobbler was delicious. It came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and each spoonful felt like I was getting a hug from the inside. I paired the cobbler with a cappuccino, and it was a perfect combination. The service was good, but a bit delayed at times. It would not have been an issue, but my friends and I did have to return to work soon. I am curious to try other menu options in the future. read more

Party of 2 Saturday night 8pm Great service. Attentive, prompt and friendly. We ordered: Escargot French bread Steak frites, medium rare Tuna tartar It was all excellent. We love garlic and would've loved the escargot to be even more garlicky but it was delicious nonetheless. The steak was cooked to perfection. Best medium rare we've had in a long time! I could swim in the garlic butter served with it. Outdoor seating, inside is small and tight quarters, just like a typical French bistro. Wonderful experience! read more

kinda mid all around. My partner and I stopped by for Happy Hour and got the bistro burger, french onion soup, calamari, a glass of wine, and a french 75. The bistro burger wasn't anything special and neither was the calamari. Lacking in flavor and the batter was coming off of many pieces. The french onion soup was the best food item we got. The broth was also lacking in flavor and each bite definitely needed some cheese to balance it out. The onions were caramelized nicely though. Overall, I don't think I will be back. The happy hour pricing was not bad for drinks but the food wasn't anything special. The service was good and the ambiance was cute. read more

Meet in Paris - Croque Monsier from the Dine LA menu was huge!!! - French Near Me - Culver City, California

I was transported to one of the outdoor seating restaurants in Paris while dining here. Small tables, tight seating quarters, and a busy, lively atmosphere create a fun and vibrant dining experience. The combination of food, drinks, and music makes this restaurant a great casual place to meet with friends, enjoy the happy hour menu, and indulge in classic French dishes. Our server, Cindy, and the owner were both very accommodating and friendly. We arrived right at the transition between happy hour and regular-priced meals. We were able to order a decent happy hour house blend red wine and a very delicious duck taco, which was probably the best item we ordered. Additionally, we ordered a hot, crispy baguette with butter, escargot, and a truffle pizza with mushrooms, prosciutto, goat cheese, and 'truffle'. The escargot was average in taste and properly prepared. Our least favorite was the pizza, as it was dry and lacked the depth of flavor we anticipated in the listed ingredients. For our main dishes, we ordered the hanger steak, filet mignon, and prime rib. All of our steaks were cooked as ordered and were decent cuts. The truffle fries, regular fries, and mashed potatoes--served alongside a small salad--were the best sides to accompany our steaks. The French fries were perfectly cut, crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The truffle fries had a generous amount of Parmesan cheese, but the truffle flavor was barely noticeable (as it was also in the pizza). The mashed potatoes were creamy and paired well with the steaks, especially since the fries were slightly on the salty side. For dessert, we ordered the crème brûlée, which was good. However, we were unable to finish the soufflé because it was sour. We informed our server, and she happily relayed our feedback to the kitchen. Although I had made a reservation for a party of five, our table was not available upon arrival, as most of their tables seat only four. We had to move twice before the owner was able to create a comfortable space for us to enjoy our celebration. read more

Great spot in downtown Culver City to grab some drinks and a bite to eat. The menu is quite expansive - some French, some American, some Asian focused dishes. It's always fun to order different types of dishes to share with your table mates. At the top of my list are the liver pate, escargot, charcuterie boards. But my all time favorite is the hot fudge sundae Great service. read more

Let me start by saying I love Dine LA and the opportunity it gives us to experience new restaurants. Many people are first time customers because of Dine LA so I'd think restaurants would aim for repeat visitors. I was hopeful with this menu and I'm sad to say I was a bit let down. It all sounded delicious.... My friend and I ordered separate items so we could try everything between us. The appetizers started off strong. We dug into a lovely cheeseboard with camembert, figs and honey and escargot which we just did for the plot. Cheese was great. Snails were snails. Not really commenting on those, they were edible but just tasted kind of like pesto which made sense since they were covered in garlic and parsley butter (and yes pesto is basil but that's the only comparison that makes sense in my head). All in all it was fine. Here's the let down..... for the main course we've got roasted duck in an orange sauce and beef stew (I'm oversimplifying). The duck was incredibly dry and the sauce couldn't save it (there was hardly any on the plate). When it came to the beef bourguignon...the only thing with any flavor was the mashed potatoes. I didn't come for an experience where the star was going to be the potatoes. I can make those myself. Just very disappointed in how bland the beef was. On the bright side, the meal was saved by the dessert. Very good apple tarte tatin and profiteroles ...but if you don't like the taste of dark chocolate, stay away...the chocolate sauce was definitely on the bitter side which made me think of dark chocolate. Now that I think about it... that could've been the almonds but hey... I'm no gordon ramsey. It did balance well with Ice cream though so that's nice. So even though the bookends were strong, the middle was just so underwhelming for me that I couldn't go above 3 stars. Drinks were fine. We had red wine and a white wine sangria...a bit pricey for what I feel like may have been less expensive wine but letting it go. Setting was lovely, plenty of heat to chase away the cold and the service was good. A bit tightly packed outside for my liking but that's me being picky. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try snails but don't think I'll be back anytime soon. read more

Came here to try out their happy hour and very unimpressed. The portion size for the calamari was insanely small, especially if you take a look next door and see their portion size for a HH calamari order. The steak tartare had so much mustard it overtook the whole thing. Crab cakes were ok. Maybe the best thing was a salad we ordered that wasn't on the HH menu.

3.5 overall. First off, the positives. This place has the European cafe vibe with outdoor seating. Jazz music on Thursday with FREE Corkage. Music and free corkage!!! With that being said, you think it should be packed. However, my impression is that the food isn't up to what the price reflects. It is a bit on the pricier side for the quality. The rent must be high because of its location. Mussels were a bit lacking. And the band seems to take a lot of breaks for the short time it's performing. Most of them are drinking and chatting. At most, one break should suffice. The dessert was a bit underwhelming for the price. We had a cobbler which was nicely warmed served with ice cream but the top crust was a bit off. It's not bad but it could be better for the price. The service was good and attentive. I would say the ambiance is their strong point. Great for a drink and a nibble in an outside setting and people watching in the heart of Culver City. read more

I've had brunch here way back when (before Covid) and I had an amazing time so I went for Dine LA and my husband and I were both disappointed. The onion soup was delicious but it wasn't hot. It was just warm and got cold really fast. The escargot was just ok, felt greasy. I've had better. The beef bourgignon and coq au vin were good but not anything special. My husband ordered apple tarte tatin and it had an unpleasant bitterness to it. Now my husband is a pastry chef so he knows when something is off. Even I tasted the bitterness. Overall, it's not somewhere I'd go back again. The server was nice and is the reason this isn't a 2-star rating. read more

I brought one of my close girlfriends here for her birthday and we really enjoyed ourselves. I was kind of nervous because I had seen a few bad reviews but I'm really glad I didn't let them deter me! It felt like we were in an authentic little Parisian cafe and our server Enrique took really good care of us. He knew we were celebrating a birthday and brought out complimentary champagne to the table -- What a delightful way to start the meal! I ordered the artichoke and duck confit and my friend had the French onion soup and mussels. Everything was very tasty. And even though we declined to order a dessert (we were full), Enrique still brought out a precious little complimentary birthday dessert for us to share. A wonderful experience all around. read more

We visited Meet in Paris on Saturday night. We made the reservation in the morning and were seated at our table upon arrival. We had a table outside, which was delightful and relaxing. I really liked the red umbrellas and black outdoor furnishings; they created a very French atmosphere. The food was great! The Mussels Mariniere ($13) were excellent, and the Calamari Frits ($12) were delicious. The Seared Salmon ($35) was outstanding--must order this! The Hanger Steak Frites ($37) was good, but the Duck Confit Casserole ($29) was a bit too dry for my taste. The Half Dozen Escargots ($19) were good, and the Chocolate Soufflé ($14) was amazing! The Vanilla Crème Brûlée ($13) was also good. The service was excellent! Our server was very attentive and friendly. Overall, we had a fabulous time at Meet in Paris in Culver City and will definitely visit again in the future. read more

Five Pawprints for Meet in Paris Hello from Mozzarella! I'm a pink toy poodle with very refined taste, and Meet in Paris is one of my absolute favorite places in all of Culver City. This small, family-owned French restaurant makes everyone feel welcome -- two-legged or four-legged. They have a pet-friendly patio where I can lounge comfortably while my mom enjoys a late breakfast (yes, they serve breakfast until late!). Her favorite is the Paris Omelette, and I must say, it smells divine. When happy hour rolls around, the duck tacos are a must. My mom orders them, and I always get a little taste of the duck -- tender, flavorful, and my idea of gourmet heaven. And although it's a French restaurant, they make the best spicy margaritas my mom has ever had. The owner is so kind, the staff is warm and attentive, and no one has ever had a problem with me sipping water from my own little bowl. It's rare to find a place that serves amazing food, has great drinks, and treats every guest -- human or pup -- like family. Five stars from me and my mom. We'll be back again and again. Merci, Meet in Paris! read more

It's been years since we last ate here. A Sunday Happy Hour and mussels were the perfect reason to return this past weekend. We took a table on the outdoor patio under one of their red umbrellas, and we felt like we were in Paris. Our server was great. We enjoyed Manhattans (5/5 $10 HH), which were generous pours, Mussels Mariniere (4/5 $13 HH), and Duck Tacos (5/5 $11 HH). The Mussels Mariniere was 20 or so steamed black mussels in a delightful sauce of shallots and garlic in white wine. Sadly, it was not served with bread to soak up the sauce. Each Duck Taco had a good amount of flavorful duck meat on cole slaw topped with a spicy aioli. They were fantastic! I'm glad we had Happy Hour here. We'll be back. read more

We love Meet in Paris and have been here many times over the past six years. They always have a wonderful dineLA menu, as well as all their standard menu items. When any of our foodie and wine lover friends are visiting from out of town, this is one of our first stops. TIP: Parking is tough in this area. Limited on street available in the nearby neighborhoods. No parking directly on Culver Blvd. If you're close enough, I would suggest using Lyft or Uber. SERVICE: As usual, the service is always fantastic! Cassie assisted us Friday night and she, as well as the other wait staff, were friendly, efficient, and really take care of their customers, making the most out of our experience. Molly, and the other young lady at the hostess stand, are wonderful as they greet you and seat you when you arrive, but they also hustle and assist the wait staff with whatever is necessary. A real "team" service experience. Sebastien, the owner, also stopped by our table and chatted with us and took a real interest in us and our experiences with his establishment. DRINKS: Since our early visits, they have now been licensed for a full bar, so all of the usual cocktails are available (Paris "Old" Fashioned, Manhattan, Negroni, etc.). There's a decent selection of wines by the bottle, as well as by the glass, and I feel that the prices are reasonable. As of our last visit, the corkage fee is $30/bottle. FOOD: The menu is mostly tapas and small bite plates with a few entrees. We took advantage of the dineLA menu ($45/person), which is always a deal. On this visit, we started with a couple orders of the Crab Cakes, and the Escargot (which were served out of their shells in a garlic butter sauce). We also ordered a half baguette and butter ($5) to soak up the garlic butter and parsley sauce that accompanies the Escargot. For our entrées, we had the 8 oz. Prime Hanger Steak and the Coq Au Vin. Everything is well seasoned, and very flavorful. We've also tried the Jumbo Scallops with Saffron Risotto ($37), the Duck Confit Tacos ($18), and the Blackened Shrimp Tacos ($18), and all were wonderful. We finished off the evening with the Profiteroles and the Crème Brûlée, adding a couple orders of Baileys and coffee ($14 ea.), an Espresso Martini ($17), and a glass of Tawny Port ($16). We really enjoy coming here and if it wasn't so far from home, I'm sure we'd be regulars. If you love French cuisine like we do, I highly recommend you give Meet in Paris a try! read more

I've been to this place several times over the years. This review is based on my visit this past Sunday. The food is okay. The service is not very good. We never got things we asked for and had to ask repeatedly. The server got one of the orders wrong. There were many things that went wrong or I wouldn't be writing this. We probably won't come back to this restaurant. read more
