Petit Trois, you had me at the white tablecloths and little Parisian café vibe -- tucked into a tiny strip mall shopping plaza, but somehow transporting you straight to France. The service was absolutely on pointe thanks to Kaiya, Teri, and Randy. Warm, polished, attentive, and just the right amount of fun. Hubs and I split everything, which was the right move because this meal was rich, delicious, and very filling. We started with the baguette bread service, which is an additional charge but 100% worth it. The bread, salted butter, and mixed berry spread were pure France in a basket. Next up was the French onion soup, and wow. Cheesy, full of flavor, with a beautiful broth that somehow managed to be rich without being too salty. Perfection. Then came the Big Mec burger, as seen on Food Network's top burgers -- and yes, it absolutely lives up to the hype. Definitely enough for two. Perfectly seasoned patties, melty cheese, a fresh brioche bun, and that bordelaise sauce bath underneath? Flavor-forward, decadent, and unforgettable. We rounded out the meal with a slice of French toast because apparently we make excellent life choices. Also delicious, also worth sharing. This was not just lunch -- it was an experience. Will I go back? Absolument! Next up: dinner. read more

Not sure how I had never been to Petit Trois, but here we were. Was in the area, so made a quick reservation and we headed over. Got seated on the patio on a beautiful day, so we were perfectly happy. After a quick glance at the menu, our recommendations from our server, we decided to order. We started with the escargot, as one does at a French restaurant, and the French onion soup. The escargot cube bathed in butter, garlic and parsley and were very tasty. I mean, how can they not be when bathed in garlic and butter? The French onion soup was also delicious with ample gruyere cheese overflowing. Pure indulgence! For entrees, we all tried something different. The steak frites were.... steak frites. If you've tried one, you've tried most, so not very memorable. The duck confit was cooked well and not overly fatty, which was nice. The omelette, let me say, is beautiful to look at. You almost don't want to touch it because it is very picrure-esque, and absolutely cooked perfectly. A, dare I say, perfect omelette. Finally was the Big Mec. Now, there are a lot of good burgers in Los Angeles, but the Big Mec is one of the greats. So much flavor with the double wagyu patties, cheese, special sauce all while sitting in a Bordelaise sauce. It isn't something you would eat every day, as it is heavy, but it is phenomenal when you do. I'd say one of the top five burgers in Los Angeles, in my humble opinion. Overall, delicious French restaurant in Hollywood, a little above Hancock Park, serving delicious food. Get the escargot and French onion soup to start, and definitely get the omelette and the Big Mec, you will not be disappointed. read more

I like the big mec more! Was missing the borderlaise sauce from the big mec as the wagyu burger's sauce is more cheesy and thick. Ended up eating most of the wagyu and burger separately as I am a messy eater. Fries were delicious as they were last year during our first visit. Wagyu was buttery and soft though, which lets me know I need to make haste and come back to try the steak frites. :) Banana cream pie had a lot of flavors - some sourness from the banana ice cream, toasted coconut praline dust, and coconut caramel - some chunks of banana were more ripe than others. Would opt for the creme brulee next time! Service was good, water constantly refilled during this very rich meal. The bathroom, however, did get clogged towards the end of our meal so I did not get to wash my grubby hands post meal. I think we need to limit the amount of toilet paper available in the bathroom because there is an insane amount of tp in the bathroom. read more

Everything we tried was excellent! Burger was juicy, which they are known for. The mussels were fresh and in a yummy sauce. Service was fast and good. read more

Prix fixe: Beet salad - horseradish cream is too intense and there's a lot of it. I wouldn't order this again. The beets and nuts were nice but pretty overwhelmed by the horseradish, even when I tried to avoid getting any of it on my fork. And I'm not a person who hates horseradish, by any means. I would try the Boston lettuce salad next time. Steak frites - the fries were evenly crisp (fried in clarified butter), the herb butter sauce was fresh and light, the steak was a nice medium to medium-rare, even on a piece this small. I would definitely get this again. I'm not sure what the portion difference is between the prix and the regular, but this felt well worth the price we paid as part of the prix fixe. Big Mec Burger - The burger, while cooked nicely medium rare, was a difficult knife and fork burger, due to it sitting in a pool of demi glace. The flavors of the burger were nice, but they might get a little taken over by the sauce. It is an incredibly expensive burger, and I question it's worth. Chocolate mousse - topped with cacao nibs, dark chocolate shavings and hazelnuts. A very rich milk chocolate flavor and a much stretchier almost pudding like texture than I have encountered in a mousse before. Honestly not my favorite dish. I would try the puff pastry option next time! We also got: French onion soup - big pieces of onion in here, that they maybe did not cut the entire bottom of the onion off of. Peppery, but not overly so. It was flavorful with a very satisfying amount of cheese, baked perfectly on the top. Felt like it could have used one more element....salt? Or an herb? It was good but we didn't find it outstanding, especially for the price. Overall, only the prix lunch deal (12-4 M-F) felt worth the price. I'd definitely come back here for that. We were interested in a couple of other menu items that we didn't try, so we'll likely be back someday. I've had better versions of everything we ordered at a better price elsewhere in town, tho. We ate in the bar portion of the restaurant. Service was helpful, friendly and leisurely. Probably a place where you'll have to flag your waiter down, as they're trying to let you enjoy your meal unhurried and uninterrupted. Bathrooms were clean and well appointed. Patio area was closed due to rain when we dined but it looks like a nice space with plenty of shade. read more

Honestly, it's pretty hard to find a truly authentic French spot in Los Angeles. Most places feel more French-inspired than the real deal. Honestly, this is the closest we've found to that cozy French bistro experience by far. Even the decor gives you that transported-to-Europe kind of feeling. My favorite has to be the Burgundy escargot. They're super rich, buttery, and full of flavor. The Wagyu steak frites is perfectly cooked and insanely tender. Absolute delicious! The duck confit is also done really well. The meat falls right off the bone, and the fat is beautifully rendered and fragrant. The only drawback is that the sauce leans a bit salty, I wish it were slightly more balanced, because the dish itself is excellent. Also worth noting is the housemade baguette, golden and crisp on the outside, with a soft, airy interior. It complemented the escargot perfectly, and the cocktails held their own. Luckily we made a reservation, because the hostess at the entrance wasn't very friendly and would have only seated us outdoors on a blazing hot day. Once you get past the rude hostess, everything else was wonderful. Fortunately, the servers inside were fantastic, and I would absolutely come back to try more. read more

I was invited here by a friend, and it turned out to be a really lovely experience. It's a French restaurant with valet parking available, but you can also find free street parking nearby if you prefer. The food had a lot of depth and was overall very flavorful. The onion soup was definitely the highlight -- rich, comforting, and one of those warm, satisfying dishes you don't come across that often. The beef tartare was decent, but nothing particularly memorable. The omelette was a bit too cheesy for my taste, though that might just come down to personal preference. Banana tart is so good. Try this. The outdoor seating had a great brunch vibe and was really enjoyable, while the indoor space felt a bit small and tight. Service was also very good -- attentive and friendly throughout. Overall, a solid spot with a great atmosphere and some standout dishes. read more

I've been to the Sherman Oaks location several times over the last 10 years and I decided to try the original Hollywood location. Upon entering, it is very very small. The front room is counter seating only and it's very cramped and a bit claustrophobic. Thankfully we got a seat at the bar in the back room which was much more spacious and relaxing. One thing to mention, I loved the bar chairs. Most bar chairs are not that comfortable but these were surprisingly comfortable. Our hostess was super friendly but our main server was a bit curt which put a damper on our experience. We got the feeling that we were annoying him which made our meal a bit awkward. We started with the baguettes and French onion soup. The bread was good and soup was one of the better ones I've had. Perfectly balanced but extremely overpriced at $25. For our entrees we got the burger and steak frites. The burger was juicy and delicious but they could tone it down a touch with the bordelaise sauce as it's a bit overwhelming and messy. The streak frites were perfectly cooked at medium rare but the peppercorn was a bit much and it was very salty. The true flavors of steak would have shined more with a lighter spices. We got the soufflé for dessert and was it was excellent. Overall our meal was good but I've definitely had better and lower prices so I don't see myself running back anytime soon. I will say that the valley location is much more of a vibe with a better lively atmosphere but the Hollywood location has better food. read more

We were introduced to French omelette by Chef Ludo's videos. We've been visiting Petit Trois for a few years now. It was one of the first restaurants we visited once we were allowed to during the pandemic. Inside all the seating are at the chefs counter or individual seating facing the opposite wall. Chefs counter is always cool. We get to watch them make all the food and the making of the French omelette is always a fun watch. This location also has an outdoor seating. It's basically in the parking lot but since they're at the end, you don't get any cars passing by. Last time we came we would need to pay for valet if we wanted to park inside the lot but we found parking across the street. We ordered the French omelette (per usual). This is a very buttery, smooth, rich, and runny. If you prefer your eggs super cooked and dry, this isn't the dish for you. It's cooked in butter, Boursin cheese in the center, and glazed with butter on the outside. Topped with chives and a simple salad. The salad balances out the richness of the omelette. They make sure that it is rolled to perfection. We also ordered the steak frites. That was also very buttery (by the way they use the good European butter). What's the difference between European butter and regular American butter you ask? Well, European butter is higher in fat content and lower in water percentage so it creates a very rich flavor and such creamy texture. The steak was cooked as asked. The frites were crispy on the outside but perfectly cooked inside. I cook a lot so I can usually pick out a lot of the herbs & spices used in a dish. But I could not place the taste of the steak. It was delicious but different. So I asked our server what it was and that's how I learned about Chervil. I met Chef Ludo once at the Sherman Oaks location. Very nice guy. I did not expect him to be the one to bring out of meals so that was a nice surprise. read more

Had a lovely Memorial Day lunch here this past week with friends. Petit Trois has long been on my list of spots to try and I'm glad I finally made it in. The covered patio is cozy but has enough seating for a few tables, and during the day it is warm, and covered from direct sun as well, perfect to sit and sip on some cocktails. The staff is very friendly and attentive. As for the food, no complaints here. They have a decent lunch special pre-fixe for $44, which includes an appetizer salad, entree, and dessert. I had the steak frites which was cooked perfectly medium and the fries were crispy, along with a Boston lettuce salad and a very well executed chocolate mousse. I would love to come back soon and try their brunch menu. read more

I thought the service was wonderful. Everyone was lovely. Indoor seating: there is only bar style seating. I like that vibe. Outdoor seating: they have a large, beautiful, and spacious, covered patio. Parking: appeared to be valet only. Drinks: my Bloody Marys were perfect. Food: there is a brunch menu (on Saturdays) and an after 3 menu. Our food was fine, overall. I would have liked my steak to be at least warm when served and my fries salted. That's the only reason for the 4 - which I hate giving. My French onion soup was beautiful. My friend loved his chicken liver mousse. The lemon butter sauce on the mussels was drinkable! I can see myself coming back on a weekend and sitting at the bar and ordering the mussels and enjoying a cocktail. read more

Petit Trois has been on my list of places to go for years, I have been dying to try their Big Mec. For my husband's birthday weekend, I brought him here for brunch. It's $17 for valet parking, and they literally park your car right in front of the restaurant. If you want to save money, try finding parking somewhere else. I selected outdoor seating on the reservation, I highly recommend you do that. The patio is spacious, airy and nicely decorated with plants, plus they have shades to block the sun. Service was excellent, the hostess was sweet and friendly. We waited for nothing, our water was constantly refilled. My husband had a French beer that he really liked, and I had their Bloody Mary, which has harissa and sriracha in it. Spicy and tasty, the harissa gave it a very unique flavor. I got the Big Mec which comes with frites, it was honestly better than I had imagined it would be. It's a delicious ooey, gooey, cheesy, 2 patty burger served on top of the richest, most delicious bordelaise sauce. You eat it with a knife and fork, and even though I was full about 3/4 of the way full, I didn't dare leave any behind. Frites were also excellent, super crisp exterior and a pillowy inside. Husband had the Omelette Petit Trois, the best omelette we have ever had. It's stuffed with Boursin cheese and topped with loads of chives, and also served with a side salad of butter lettuce perfectly dressed in dijon vinaigrette. His meal was impeccable. I really hope we make it back here again, next time I want to come later and experience the full menu. I will say it was pretty pricey, $125 after tax and tip for breakfast, but hey, anything for the birthday boy! read more

The front of house woman was quite rude and standoffish which was off putting. Thankfully the server inside was friendly and inviting. Overall, I'd say majority of their signature dishes are excellent. We dined in at 2pm so it was about an hour early for their all day menu, and we were only able to order from their breakfast menu which does not include dinner items. Thankfully, there's still a decent overlap between the two so I still got to order main signature dishes I was interested in. Omelette - 10/5, WOW. I see why this is one of their signature dishes. The fluffiest omelette with Boursin cheese melted in the center. This was incredibly luxurious and the cheese brought a nice touch of acidity to the dish. The butter lettuce is a great side. Steak Au Poivre - 5/5, spectacular!!! They balance the cognac, cream, and peppercorn in the sauce sooo well! The steak was cooked perfectly to medium rare. I didn't find the crushed peppercorns overwhelming. Steak tartare - 2/5, I personally like my tartare with more bite. This was ground up so much you didn't need to chew it and I thought it looked fairly unappetizing. I wasn't a huge fan of the texture and the seasoning could be stronger. It was pretty mild in flavor. My partner would rate this a 4/5, he loved the texture and flavor profile. It was a very generous portion. French onion soup - 3/5, the cheese is some of the best Gruyère I've had. A very nutty flavor and great cheese pull. The veal/onion broth itself was average, it didn't have a great depth of flavor. Fries - 4/5, inconsistent fry. One batch we received was too hard for my personal taste. The second batch we received was perfectly crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. read more

I wish more restaurants were like this. The service was fabulous and attentive. Nate was great! The entire experience was a dream. I'd meant to come to this bistro since it opened (10 years ago! Whoa!!) but vacations to California were short and packed. Now that I've moved back, I got to take my husband for a little lunch date. We sat outside since the weather was exceptional, sunny with a cool breeze. I ordered the steak frites, pear gin and tonic, and my husband had the mussels mariniere with gin and tonic with passion fruit and grapefruit. I can't wait to order the Big Mec next time. For dessert, we shared the Paris breste. It was perfectly sweet and nutty. It was worth the wait and little journey up the 5 from OC. Five stars! read more

Petit Trois is a masterclass in classic French bistro cooking. We started with the escargot, which was rich, buttery, and packed with flavor--the kind of dish that reminds you why proper technique never goes out of style. The chicken liver mousse was exceptional: impossibly smooth, deeply flavorful, and perfectly balanced by the toasted bread and fresh chives. The steak frites was cooked beautifully and paired with a peppercorn sauce that was rich, bold, and worthy of being soaked up with every last fry. The meal finished on a high note with the chocolate soufflé--perfectly risen, intensely chocolatey, and absolutely worth the wait. Beyond the food, the atmosphere captures the charm of a true Parisian bistro. The service was warm, attentive, and professional throughout. As a chef, I appreciate restaurants that focus on executing the classics at the highest level, and Petit Trois does exactly that. My only disappointment was not getting the chance to meet Chef Ludo. Maybe next time. read more

I was so excited to try this place and when I booked a reservation for Friday 7 PM it was pretty easy. The staff was very nice. Made me wait a little bit outside until my table was ready which I thought was kind of weird. It was just that they didn't have a place for me yet when I finally sat down at the bar everyone was very nice people in the kitchen were very nice. The waiter was extremely friendly and gave me some recommendations, but I only came for one thing and that is the famous steak Fritz so I ordered that medium rare and it came out a decent time but I'm gonna be honest I've had so many better steak fruits around the city. I don't know if the place is losing its charm. Someone very friendly next to me did let me try their burger and that was really good. The banana cream pie is phenomenal though. I don't know if they make that in house or if they get that from somewhere else but it's phenomenal. I'd come back for that but other than that I'm good thanks for the great experience and very amazing service. read more

Randomly was craving a burger so we literally just popped by for the burger. The burger was good and presentation was even better but the sauce around it was not my favorite. The fries were delicious. Given that we were just craving a burger and wanted to get in and out, the whole experience took so long but could be normal for others that are looking to enjoy their time there. Additionally, I got an inside seat and the host (who seemed to write novels on his computer) asked if we were ok not sitting at the bar but at a table, I said fine bc he had taken soooo long w the ppl in front of us I literally just wanted to eat. He sat us outside when it was quite windy and the sun was going down. If going from inside to outside, he should specify that. But I figured it would take another ten mins for him to write out another story in his system so we just took our table. Overall, if quicker, it would've been great but it took another ten mins to pay and leave so we could've just gone to HiHo burger. Different experience but def would've been faster. read more

Petit Trois - French Near Me - Los Angeles, California

What an interesting time I had here! I came after the L.A. Pride parade, and was initially surprised by the fact that this place, for all its accolades, is essentially in a parking lot. I was greeted and seated at the "Chef's Counter," and immediately felt the "coziness" of the space. It is SMALL. The bar is a tiny little cube of space, and the burners and cooking space is minuscule. However, they pump out some AMAZING food! The French onion soup is rich and savory- and served NUCLEAR hot, which is important to me! The steak was beautifully prepared, and the fries were served with sauces to your liking (I chose mustard and garlic aioli!), in plentiful quantities. After an unfortunate mishap on my end, that I attribute to being in the sun for too long, the staff was gracious and kind. I was fortunate to engage in conversation with Chef Emmy, (when she had some time!), and had great talk about the menu, cooking, life, etc., and it was so not what you'd expect - in the best possible way. I will definitely be back, if for no other season than celebrating Chef Emmy, and the kindness and generosity I was shown. What a gem of a restaurant! read more

Excellent fries, delicious omelette with the butter lettuce, and addictive french toast. Those items were unanimously agreed upon as the best of what we ordered. Also ordered the filet au poivre, steak tartare, escargot, and french onion soup. There was a slight bitterness with the au poivre sauce...possibly the peppercorns were burnt, but the filet was cooked perfectly to med rare. The butter garlic sauce for the escargot went well with the baguette, and the French onion soup was definitely cheesy. The star of the show were the fries and we later discovered they were fried with clarified butter. Overall an excellent meal and the service was on point. Now we just have to make sure to wash it all down with some hot tea...there was definitely a lot of butter in most of the dishes. read more

I would go back in a heart beat for any meal at any time. read more

Came here for the first time. Cute place. Definitely reminded me of France minus the noise. Had a glass of chenin blanc, beets salad, and burger. The beets salad was delicious and flavorful, the horseradish dressing was a nice bite with the sweet flavor. The burger was on a bed of sauce. It was flavorful. 1 out of 10 highly recommend. We also ordered fries, you have to request the sauce. Fries are fries, wished it was slightly crispier but still paired well with the burger. Would come back to try other items on the menu. :) Great food and good service. read more

Had reservation at 6:30pm, but we arrived early and were seated right away. Our waitress was very kind and delicate. We ordered escargot, big MEC and duck confit. Escargot came with baguette, which was perfect. When it came out, you can smell the butter from the kitchen and it melts in your mouth once you try. And it goes well with a glass of chablis. Then big mec and duck confit came out. Big mec is huge that I couldn't finish it. The patty was juicy and the sauce around the burger went very well with everything, especially the fries. Highly recommended. Duck confit was good but a little salty for me. But my friend really enjoyed it a lot. She said portion was enough to make her tummy content. Valet is $15, but we were able to find street parking and it didn't seem too dangerous to park a block away on Melrose Ave. read more

Family from out of town has this in their list from a food network person. I had been a couple times so made a reservation. Decided on this one because of the Napoleon dessert. And THEY DONT HAVE IT anymore!!!! Why would you take such a unique selling point off your menu??!! Jeanae was our server. She was great. Two of us had the duck and 3 had the steak frites. Food had good flavor and meat was so tender. Disappointed that the fries were frozen bagged fries. Not what you expect with a seasoned chef. Bring back the napoleon and I'll come back. Otherwise, moving on. read more

Easy 5 stars for Petit Trois -- this place completely lives up to the hype. Came for a Sunday dinner with a reservation and from the moment we sat down, the experience felt elevated but still fun. We started with the French onion soup -- absolute must. Deep, rich flavor and perfectly done. Even the cheese (which I didn't fully finish) was still insanely enjoyable. The escargot... honestly one of the best things I've had. Loaded with garlic, buttery, and paired with warm bread that you have to dip into that sauce. For mains, we had the burger and steak frites. The burger comes drenched in that signature sauce -- super flavorful and indulgent. I liked it, but probably wouldn't order it again next time just because there's so much else to try. Steak was solid (slightly off medium), but still very enjoyable. The fries though -- next level. You can literally taste that they're fried in butter. Dessert sealed it. The Napoleon was light, flaky, and perfectly balanced with that salted caramel cream. And the chocolate soufflé -- wow. It comes out perfectly risen with that delicate powdered sugar top, then they open it up and pour in warm chocolate, finished with a quenelle on top. The inside is insanely soft and airy, almost molten without being heavy. Every bite is rich but still light, which is hard to pull off. Definitely one of those desserts you remember and come back for. Service was top tier. Jake, our waiter, was a character in the best way -- made the whole experience fun. But honestly the entire team was on it -- constantly checking in, clearing plates, bringing dishes. Felt like a high-end, well-run operation without being stiff. Impressed. Definitely coming back. read more

Cute atmosphere and tasty food. The leeks fondant were delicious and unique. A must order potentially. The duck confit was also great, with very tasty and super rich potatoes in duck fat. The mussels were also really satisfying. Slightly let down by overly casual service. Friendly and attentive, but stacking all your plates at this type of place before clearing the table kills the vibe. Definitely would return to try more. Great for a celebratory dinner or a nice date. read more

Came here to celebrate my youngest daughter's birthday. We've been a fan of a brand for many years, but have always gone to the location in the valley. We're definitely happy. We were finally able to make it to the original. They have a huge outdoor seating area, which is great when the weather is good. Don't recommend it for the hotter days and obviously when it's raining, they're limited to the seating indoors. French food done right. Everything we ordered was amazing. We started off with the escargot and the beef tartare both a solid 5/5. And then we had the croque madame and the steak fritte. Again, both were amazing. The steak was seasoned and cooked perfectly and the fries were absolutely to die for. Both again a solid 5/5. Service was decent. I think we went on a busier brunch day so service was OK. I wouldn't say as attentive as it has been in the valley location but still good. Overall, still love the brand still love food Ludo puts out. read more

ooohhhh la la... Petit Trois, you delivered today. It started with a generous gift certificate to put this establishment on our radar, and ended with an indulgent and most memorable dining experience. We are no amateurs when it comes to fine dining, so don't be fooled by the location next to a Yum Yum Donut establishment (not here to judge their culinary expertise because we also love a good donut). Yes, there is a Valet Service in a strip mall that is vacant, but the service rendered by our valet parker was also to be recognized as 5 stars. We had the option to sit outside but opted for counter dining, which was the best decision next to the food ordered. Our chef, Max, was friendly, knowledgable, humble, and engaging, making our experience only that much more memorable. His recommendations were on point and his discription of the food items made me tempted to try more. You had me at fries cooked in clarified butter. You make Julia Child proud. Here comes Ben, our server. Though his bow tie killed the vibe (inside joke for Ben) for a short moment, his personality and exquisite service made up for it. He was attentive but gave us time. He was knowledgeable but listened to our likes and preferences. He could see that we were all in, and so was he. The recommendations that came from Ben and Max were 100% accurate. I regret not getting the French Onion Soup but a girl can only handle so much without wearing stretchy pants. So here goes: We started with Escargots, swimming in a warm buttery bath of garlic and parsley, ready to be sopped up with toasted homemade French Baguette. Delicious, get it. Chicken Liver Mousse... A MUST. Max said it was his favorite and it was ours as well. A generous serving of chicken liver mousse, served on balsamic onion jam, on top of 2 thick slices of crisped buttery country toast. Do I keep repeating butter? YES. Because they use butter a lot and it is a game changer. On to lunch: Despite my husband and I not loving a "cheeseburger" for lunch unless we are grabbing In-N-Out, we were told by many to get it. According to Chef Max, they sell 1 burger to every 3 entrees, or is it the other way around because we were on our second glass of delicious Rosé. Doesn't matter, the Big Mec is not to be missed. A double cheese burger with Bordelaise and special sauce, served with Frites that are ready to swim in the excess sauce spilling over the plate, is worthy of a try. I would have been content with sauce and fries alone. Fork and knife, split and half , shared, so you can try more things. GET IT. Lastly, but not last, Mussels Marinière. YUM. A generous serving of mussels bathing in a glorious bowl of white wine, crème fraîche, served with country toast (not to be missed) and more Frites. I love mussels and I can say that these were potentially the best that I have had and I am from New England, home to shell fish. I'm full and so is my spouse, but he never misses dessert and apparently neither do I. Listening to Ben, once again, despite his bow tie, we trusted his recommendations on the Chocolate Souffllé and the Creme Brûlée. Oh boy, this was the end of a meal that sealed the deal. Granted, we ate high off the hog, we indulged far beyond what lunch should include, but we will never forget our meal, largely due to the kindness and expertise of our servers. The welcoming environment and the superb "gastronomique" experience left us hungry for more, even though we are stuffed. We will be back, not only for the food, but for the service and expertise of those who make Petit Trois what it is: FANTASTIQUE. Parking: Potentially neighboring streets, watch signage. Valet in parking lot. Ambiance: intimate, casual, perfect Service: outstanding from all team members Value: pricey, but what isn't when it is exceptional quality? read more

My husband and I had lunch at Petit Trois the other day after going to an event nearby. I had always wanted to try this restaurant after hearing Anthony Bourdain talk about it, so I was beyond excited. The interior is small, but so cute and charming, like a traditional French bistro. It maybe seats twenty people inside, and there's also an outdoor patio that seats another twenty. The staff was very kind and welcoming during our visit, and our server was great. We had a nice conversation with him about the restaurant and menu items. For food, I had the Big MEC burger with fries, and my husband had the Croque Madame with the Boston Lettuce. Both dishes were fantastic, and we were shocked at how good the Boston Lettuce was. I mean, it's just lettuce topped with a mustard vinaigrette, but it's incredible! And the sauce they put on the Big MEC is heavenly. Another treat was the chocolate soufflé. It was absolute perfection! Be sure to order it when you order your meal, because it takes a good thirty to forty minutes to bake. We really enjoyed our meal here, and we're definitely coming back to try the Escargot, Steak Tartare, Paris-Brest, and Banana Cream Pie! read more

My first experience at Petit Trois was close to perfect. A last minute decision to stop for an early dinner on the way home. It's an unconventional setting that you need to embrace. Open kitchen bar style seating inside, patio seating outside in an enclosed area, located in a non-descript mini mall. It's a charming spot, with a casual elegance, a serious kitchen staff, and a pleasant attentive serving staff. The menu is concise and well thought out. Escargots were delicious with the correct tools provided. Steak frites was perfect. Frites were crisp, steak medium melted in your mouth, I couldn't stop eating the crispy half baguette provided. No alcohol or dessert this time but a strong espresso to finish. Server Tom never let me refill my glass of sparkling water and brushed the counter of crumbs with a silver tray. A very nice touch done informally. 5/5 I enjoyed every moment. Price was reasonable. Even dealing with the valet, which I usually dread with a luxury sports car, was a good experience, professional and friendly. I look forward to my next visit ! read more

The escargot was surprisingly very good! We also ordered the beet salad (5/5), steak frites (5/5), and the lemon pasta (2/5). The beet pasta was very colorful, flavorful, and fun. The steak frites was solid but the pasta was very underwhelming. Service was a bit slow and we waited 10 minutes to be seated despite a reservation. Seating is outside in a parking lot - which was weird, but not horrible. read more

Food was way below average, not worth the money or the drive or the $17 parking. I give them service which was good and the Liver. Honestly nothing else !! Not worth it read more

Petit Trois is an adorable French bistro. It's a little cramped inside, but I think that's part of the charm. It's cozy and delicious. The big mec burger and the chocolate mousse were the stars of the show. Although the food is pricey, it's worth it. You don't see a burger like this every day. It's special. Our server was very friendly, and they even acknowledged that we were celebrating my birthday. They really helped make my birthday dinner a memorable one. read more

Always an excellent choice. Maitre D Josh was attentive and warm, waiter Tony was friendly and efficient. But, we come for the food. The perfect omelette, the best steak frites (with light béarnaise) and muscles in the tastiest white wine broth. It's a small but cozy location but, perfect for after or before the theater (Pantages) read more

Incredible meal. Not much else to say. This place blew doors on our expectations. The burger, steak tartar, French onion soup.... Heck, even the vinaigrette salad was special. Definitely coming back- must try read more

Had a pretty good brunch with my family here last weekend. Food was excellent and service was great too. We started with the French onion soup and steak tartare which were both excellent. The steak tartare was especially good and was the best tartare I've had in recent memory. For entrees we got the Big MEC and the Chicken salad. While I did like the Big MEC, I probably wouldn't order it again. The bordelaise was a little too intense for me. The chicken salad had lots of crunch to it and was delicious. We ordered the chocolate croissant for our 6 year old daughter who loved it. Overall had an excellent lunch here. Would love to try dinner here sometime read more

I love dining at Petit Trois, it's one of my favorite French restaurants in LA. Being from Paris, it really makes me feel at home. The food is always delicious, even the simplest dishes like the butter lettuce. The menu, the decor, and the overall ambiance all feel very authentic. I especially enjoy sitting at the bar and watching the chefs cook, it adds so much to the experience. I usually prefer going with one friend rather than a big group. Great service, friendly staff, I truly love everything about this place. read more
