Great place for brunch on an outdoor patio in the middle of downtown LA. Love the amazing pastry selection and the food is wonderful! Feeling like Im in a Parisian cafe

Eggs Benedict

What an amazing breakfast joint in the City of Angels. Came upon it on the recommendation of the concierge at The Biltmore. Guess it paid off to ask. This is your standard French faire served up well. The pastry's are amazing and the coffee was awesome. Hard to get a good cup of coffee without the frills, but this place lived up to our expectations for a cup of brew. The food was awesome we had eggs Benedict with eggs poached just right, served with a fresh side of mixed leaf salad with a touch of vinaigrette. The ambiance of the place is awesome too and the prices are very reasonable in light of the great service and quality of food they serve. Who doesn't like a sweet thing or two at breakfast? The pastry shelf is inviting but also tasty! Great place to do breakfast should you happen to go to that part of LA.

Pitchoun Bakery was fantastic! The avocado toast, royal croissant with Nutella, and breakfast sandwich were all delicious. The pastry was perfectly flaky, the portions were generous enough to share, and everything tasted fresh. Great vibes, friendly staff, and quick service. Definitely coming back!

Dirty Chai Latte & Eggs Benedict scottish
Kay Y.

Amazing as always! Overall, one of the nicest and quality brunch spots around this area I'd say ^_^ Really love the kindness of the staff and swiftness. Can't go wrong with a pastry, hot sandwich, or egg benny here! Tried their seasonal Ube Latte today and that also didn't disappoint. Def check this spot out if you're going for brunch or a light munch!

Pitchoun! is a cute little French cafe in downtown LA. My husband and I were in town for a conference and we were told that we had to check this place out before leaving. On our final day in LA, we decided to walk from our hotel and grab some coffees to go. I'm so sad that we didn't try Pitchoun sooner so that we could enjoy a full breakfast, because all of the food I saw at people's tables looked delicious. We both ended up getting ice lattes, mine was something with cinnamon in it and it was perfect. I've already added this place to my favorites list for the next visit to LA.

Cherry chai to the right strawberry matcha latte to the left

Two years later, and still my favorite DTLA bakery. We beat the rush so could admire all the tasty looking pastries as you walk in before ordering at the counter. I tried their jalapeno croissant, and I can't wait to come back and have another light, flaky, flavorful croissant filled with jalapenos and cheese. I enjoyed my fruit tart. My husband had eggs provencal and a profiterole which really is the best. We sat out on the pleasant couryard and enjoyed the lowkey vibe.

I had a French Sandwich and my wife had the Brie Sandwich, 2 lates and for dessert I had the fruit tart and my wife a delicious vanilla finger cake... the venue remembers you a French coffee place in Paris... small tables close to the street ... service is quick after your order and the flavors delicious for sure.. you don't even hear bustle in the street... it's downtown LA at the Persian Square. Don't miss it...

Morning Iced coffee
Norman R.

What a pleasant surprise! A French bakery and bistro in the downtown area of Los Angeles, California with a delicious menu and entrees that will wow your taste buds. Arrived in the morning to purchase a baguette, and decided to have coffee and a danish. As we dined and sipped our coffees the place slowly filled with local office patrons seeking a wholesome lunchtime meal. Everything that passed by looked scrumptious, and desirable. Warm vibe, friendly staff, and the menu speaks volumes. Highly recommend.

amazing selection of pastries
Van D.

Pitchoun was a fun spontaneous discovery this weekend. My boyfriend and I were circling around the area for street parking and found a spot available in the Perishing Square area, right in front of Pitchoun. I saw some pastries and decided to take a look. Wowwwww pastry heaven! There was a whole case of delicious pastries. So many options to choose from. I picked a Chocolate Croissant and a Coffee Éclair. I don't have the pricing for this cause they didn't have a text receipt option so I selected email receipt, but stranger's email was on it and I didn't want to hold up the line figuring out their machine so I hit cancel. I ate the coffee eclair first and was a little underwhelmed. I love coffee flavors but this wasn't hitting the spot. The chocolate croissant was average and could be more flakey. I really like the variety of the selection they have so I would be willing to come back in the future, and try some of their lattes also.

We found this French bakery/ cafe delightful!! The staff is friendly, food is delicious! We had the focaccia bread with egg and bacon and the Parisian omelette and both were very good! The latte and cappuccino were also delicious. Best part, they are served in a bol (bowl) so you can "cup" your coffee and truly enjoy it! Next visit to this area of LA we will be back!

We came as a group of 4 and ordered our way through the menu: Chickpea fritters: a table favorite! The chickpeas were soooo deliciously crispy.

Pork belly noodles: the star of the evening! So delicious, and the pork belly is cooked absolutely perfectly. Goat empanadas: good but not super memorable for me personally, though half our table really enjoyed them. Roasted carrots :solid, but a dish we'd probably swap out for something new next time. Mango sticky rice: didn't have high expectations, but I was very impressed. Sweet without being overly sweet, and the sticky rice was absolutely delicious. Would 100% get again.

People at the front of the house are hit or miss. Food is mostly consistent in its quality and flavors. The drinks are also consistently good. It's been rare that my guests and I have had any negative feedback. Even during DineLA, when many restaurants become subpar in food and service (aka, Zaytinya in Culver City), Girl & the Goat maintain its quality and respectful treatment of customers. I really enjoy this place.

I want to update my review about the location of Zinc that I wrote over a decade ago. Since my…read moreinitial review, I've continued to come to this restaurant. It remains a unique addition to the neighborhood, as well as a good place to grab some interesting dishes. Since the opening of this particular business, the Zinc chain has opened in a few other locations. Those locations are much newer in not only their establishment but their design. This is not to say that this is still not an interesting, well-designed business, but, with time, it has become a little bit rundown. I hate to say it, but that is the truth. This location could really use an update and perhaps a deep cleaning. I was, in fact, kind of surprised at the condition of this business, for example, on the way towards their restrooms. From my opinion, it needs an clean up and an update. Also, the litter that surrounded some of the outdoor tables where I was sitting at my most recent visit was very surprising. This is just something to keep in mind if you're coming here for your first visit. In terms of what they offer for food, though it has evolved a bit over the years, they still have a great, heath-based menu, with some very interesting choices. For all of you vegetarians and vegans out there, you will, for sure, be able to find some tasty food to eat. Once upon a time, this restaurant was impacted with tons and tons of people. It was constantly full with people either going to the bakery and/or sitting down for table service. Shortly past their opening each day, there would be a line of people waiting for service. This seems to have changed, however. Meaning, if you're looking for an interesting place to eat, with some good dishes, at the far Southeast side of DTLA, near the lofts district, and you want a place without a long wait to get a table and/or your food, this may still be your place to go.

This was, without a doubt, the worst experience I've ever had at Zinc. I've been coming here on and…read moreoff for the past four years and have never experienced customer service this bad. We started with coffee. My boyfriend ordered a mocha, and I ordered a salted caramel latte. His drink was fine, but mine had absolutely no flavoring. As a former barista, I could immediately tell it was just a plain iced latte. I politely asked the waitress if they had forgotten the syrup, and she insisted, "There is syrup in it, but I can ask them to add more." I knew there wasn't any syrup, but I didn't want to argue, so I said, "Sure, please add more." A few minutes later, the manager came over and told me they actually didn't have salted caramel. So I asked if I could just get a regular caramel latte instead. She then told me they couldn't make that either because they were out of caramel sauce, the very reason they couldn't make the salted caramel in the first place. So why hand me a plain iced latte and tell me it had syrup when you knew you didn't even have the ingredients? Why not simply come back and let me know you were out and ask if I'd like something else? Instead, I was given a regular latte at the price of a flavored one (plus they later charged me for the syrup they never even added). For context, I had originally ordered a dirty chai, which they also couldn't make. So that's two drinks they didn't have, yet no one thought to communicate that before serving me something completely different. When I told the manager I'd look back at the menu for another option, she responded, "Okay... are you going to tell the waitress what drink you want?" I just looked at her, confused, and said, "Well... yeah?" How else was I supposed to order a replacement? The interaction came across as unnecessarily rude. Then it was time to order food. My boyfriend ordered the truffle burger, and I ordered the French toast. The waitress came back a few minutes later and said they couldn't make the French toast. No problem, I told her I'd also have the truffle burger. She acknowledged it, wrote it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and what side I wanted. I ordered it medium-well with fries. So both burger orders were sent in at the same time. About 20 minutes later, the food arrived, but only my boyfriend's burger and an extra side of fries that we never ordered. At that point, we didn't even bother saying anything about the fries because we were trying to avoid making things more difficult. We waited another 20 minutes (even though it was so slow). My boyfriend finished eating, and my burger still hadn't come out. Finally, we asked for the check and requested that my burger be removed since it never arrived. That's when the waitress told us I had never ordered a second burger. I was honestly speechless. I reminded her that she had taken my order after telling me they couldn't make the French toast. She had written it down, asked how I wanted it cooked, and asked what side I wanted. Her response was that she thought I meant only my boyfriend's burger. That explanation made no sense because my boyfriend's order had already been taken before she took mine. It honestly felt like we were being gaslit over something as simple as ordering a burger. To make matters worse, after we paid and were finally leaving, I looked at the receipt and realized I had been charged for the salted caramel latte that I never actually received. We had to go back yet again. Thankfully, a different employee, not the waitress or the manager helped us. They were friendly, understanding, and quickly corrected the charge. I'm not sure if management has changed, but this entire experience was unnecessarily frustrating from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong did. Honestly, I should've taken the "B" health grade posted on the window as a warning. We ended up walking over to Blue Bottle next door for coffee instead, and I'd absolutely recommend going there if you're looking for a place that actually values customer service. After four years of coming to Zinc, this experience has me seriously questioning whether I'll ever be back.

Every dish felt thoughtfully prepared, with authentic flavors and quality ingredients that stood out from the first bite to the last. The ambiance was welcoming and the art was tasteful. What truly elevated the experience was the service. The staff were attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, making us feel genuinely welcomed throughout the meal. They were quick to offer recommendations and ensured everything was perfect without being intrusive. We ordered the tostaditas de atún agua chile negro, beet salad, carne asada taco and Al pastor taco and watched the World Cup game.

To be honest, I was already biased because his Smorgasburg pop-ups were consistently good. But Distrito Catorce is different , it's like art. My favorite dish was the tacos de papa with salsa macha. The crunch of the potato taco riding into the salsa macha and crema felt like home, but with some extra pop. His salsa game is on point. The scallion salsa on the ribeye taco was also gas. Lastly, I really dug the tostadita de atún. It hit perfectly on these hot summer days. Low-key, I still want to try the El Rey de Noche. Tacos de beef trompo are starting to hit LA, and dude was ahead of the curve making picanha-brisket tacos de trompo. Service is smooth too. The servers are helpful, and solid at the bar. Overall, it's a cool spot with a menu that feels unique to LA.

This restaurant is set in the Hauser and Wirth art Gallery complex and since we got there early we toured the front gallery with an incredible assist from a docent named Michael who pointed out the most incredible pieces and steered us to the gallery at the back of the complex behind Manuela's. Both galleries are worth exploring. However, back to Manuela's. Our very friendly server sat us on the large wraparound patio and after my explaining my celiac issues and getting some guidance on their incredible menu, we shared the following after my friend ordered a delicious Sangria while knowing as a lightweight and cheap date I would be having 6 cocktails later, I ordered the Ta Ta Tatiana- Watermelon, ginger, honey, lemon, mint, bitters: Cast iron cornbread, cultured butter, wildflower honey Kusshi oysters, Nantes carrot mignonette Arugula, emerald beauty plum, goat cheese, spiced pecans, aged balsamic Hokkaido scallops, brown butter-bacon vinaigrette, mustard greens The oysters came out first and had a delightful and unusual carrot mignonette. Small and not like Louisiana Gulf Oysters, they were fresh and delicious. Next came the Arugula salad that was tart and tasty as well as a generous portion. The cast iron cornbread was ridiculously so good I joked that I would just order two of them next time. This joint actually makes their cornbread without flour which is sadly rare for me so not only was this a gluten free treat, it was light and just melted in blissful corn flavor. Last came the scallops in a brown butter bacon vinaigrette with mustard greens that was so perfectly prepared these might be the best scallops I've ever eaten, which can sometimes be dicey. With the sauce they could have served blackened, sautéed asphalt and it would have tasted good. Well done to Manuela's all around.

The outdoor space was absolutely beautiful and the perfect setting to celebrate with my closest friends and family. We did a family-style brunch, and let me tell you, they did not miss. We started with the arugula salad, Louisiana shrimp aguachile, and cream biscuits. Those biscuits? Listennnn. Order them. Fight over them if you have to. lol They were THAT good! For the main dishes, we shared the French toast, chilaquiles, and shrimp and grits, along with house-made bacon and butterball potatoes. The French toast and bacon were my favorites by far. My goodness. I am still thinking about them. The shrimp and grits were also perfectly seasoned and packed with flavor. What made me laugh was that our group is usually very chatty. There was so much talking, catching up, and laughing. Then the food arrived and suddenly all you heard were forks and spoons hitting plates followed by a bunch of "mmm," "oh wow," and "girl! you've got to try this." That's when you know the food is doing its job. Our server was amazing and took such great care of us. Everything came out smoothly, and we never felt rushed. Between the beautiful setting, incredible food, and being surrounded by people I love, it was one of those afternoons I'll always remember. I'll absolutely be back, and those biscuits and French toast will be the first things I order.
