Best French Restaurants in Playa Vista

Really fantastic and authentic French Bistro in Culver City. If you haven’t been, go! So, so good. They offer a plentiful selection of happy hour items (food and beverages).

Our server Ian was friendly and so accommodating First time for lunch and it was so nice a chill and reuniting with my college friend

I'm glad we ordered off both menus because we all preferred the selections off the regular menu. The salad with the endives was a real winner, the salad with the duck skin was lost on us. The duck bread pudding was a quirky idea that actually worked quite well on the plate. I'm glad we got to try the pressed breast because we had read a lot about this dish. The cassoulet on the side was the best cassoulet, hands down, we all have ever had. The chocolate souffle was really good but the apple tart wasn't a favorite. The service was very attentive and friendly. They have some great signature cocktails on the menu, and I liked being able to order a glass of a good Bordeaux. If we went back, we all agreed we would order off the regular menu. The endive salad for an appetizer and ask if they could make the cassoulet as a main course. (and of course pair it with a glass of that great Saint-Estephe)

I love this place. It’s so warm and welcoming. A little funky, and very French. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious, notably the roasted cauliflower, the French pizza with zucchini and the roasted sweet potatoes.

I've been a patron of Chinois since its opening 41 years ago and it's always excellent. Last night was no exception. We shared a couple of the specials including the crab cakes topped with a large shrimp, an eggplant dish and some of the old standbys including the veggie fried rice and the chicken salad and more. All was delicious, the service attentive and the staff super friendly. A visit by Wolfgang himself who stopped by to chat along with the ever present front of the house - Bella just further enhanced the evening.
