This place was excellent, I mean honestly some of the best food I have had in Los Angeles. We started with bone marrow and escargot, which was delicious. Then for the main course I ordered the Duck Leg Confit and my companion had the crab cakes, both excellent. To finish it off we had the chocolate mousse, superb! 👌🏻 Oh and the wine was excellent as well, I highly recommend this place!
Absolutely fantastic. Every single item in every dish was perfect. We had escargot and chicken liver pâté for starters. Flat iron steak and bouillabaisse as main course and lemon pie and chocolate mousse for dessert. All paired with great one and fantastic staff. Top 3 of best restaurants I've ever been to in LA. Cannot recommend it enough. Chef Cristian came out and spoke with us at length after dinner as well and he's a true artist.
The food was French influenced. I came for restaurant week LA DINEIN . I was excited to have French food again. The bone marrow was really good over toasts. The escargots were good but I barely tasted the escargots it was masked in the sauce and potatoes. I didn’t like the lemon pie, it was overwhelming. I could barely tasted the wonderful orange zest and pistachio crust.
Talk about being hidden in plain sight, this restaurant is very unassuming but the food, service and ambiance certainly did not disappoint! The couple that owns and runs the restaurant and everyone who works there was so friendly and very welcoming as well. We had the beet salad, artisan salad, lamb shank tajine, salmon with calamari, bouillabaisse and jidori chicken breast. Each dish was just as excellent as the others with delicious flavors! The drinks were also excellent although they don’t have a full bar, just fyi for those who may not drink beer and wine but the lemonade makes up for the lack of hard alcohol. The French chocolate mousse was the cherry on top to end a perfect meal and kick off our trip to LA. We’ll definitely come back next time we are in the area. 😋

I just had an incredible meal at A Food Affair in LA with a friend, and it was an experience I won’t soon forget. We dove into some classic French dishes: Mom’s Beef Bourguignon, French Onion Soup, and Bouillabaisse de Marseille. Each dish was a masterpiece - the Beef Bourguignon was rich and flavorful, the Onion Soup had the perfect balance of sweet and savory, and the Bouillabaisse was a delightful medley of seafood goodness.
What made the meal even more special was the chef coming out to greet us. It added a personal touch that you just don’t find everywhere. He was incredibly warm and friendly, making us feel right at home.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and inviting, with a distinct family-run vibe that made the whole experience feel more intimate. It’s not just a meal at A Food Affair; it’s like being welcomed into a culinary family.
If you’re looking for an authentic French dining experience with a personal touch in LA, A Food Affair is the place to go. Can’t wait to return and try more of their delicious offerings.
A true French cuisine experience set in the heart of LA. A must for any foodie particularly a French foodie. Traditional French cooking at the highest level. The Beef Bourguignon was exceptional and hearty. A bientôt.
Came here for the first time with my parents for dinner yesterday. They are older, so I picked the spot for its quieter atmosphere, and it turned out great. We thought the food was excellent, especially the desserts.
The highlights for me were the Branzino (on special), the chocolate mouse, and the pomme frites. The steak and crab cake were also quite nice. Will definitely come back.
Note this place is more $$$$ than $$$.
A hidden gem. Perfect place to hide out of your famous. No one will find you. The food was tremendous. Steak with green pepper sauce. Fabulous salads. Lots of vegan choices. And die for the Cookie.
An unpretentious family run French Bistro with authentic, yummy, unfussy, comfort French gastronomy. And a non groovy customer base. The food is awesome including home made desserts. So un LA that I loved it.

An absolutely fantastic dinner in a really casual and cozy French bistro in the Pico-Robertson area. Parking was very easy in the neighborhood right next to the restaurant, we only had to walk a half of a block. Service was extremely prompt and polite; were able to sit right after we arrived and all of our food items came out quickly. We were checked on many times during the meal as well.
We started off with the Bone Marrow and it was one of the better ones that I’ve had in a long time. The portion was very large and the sourdough with it was plenty. Next came the seasonal Beet Salad and it to it was absolutely delicious. The capers with it were probably my favorite part. A true taste of summer. Finally for our entrée we shared Mom’s Beef Bourguignon and it was absolutely perfect. The Pappardelle was al dente and seasoned well, and the beef was also delicious. I do wish there was more beef, but still the flavors were great and it was enough to share for a table of two. We also ordered the homemade iced tea, which was a bit expensive at $8.50 per order, but it is flavored with hibiscuses and they bring out an extra bottle of it that will have at least two refills in it so I felt it was a fair trade because it really was delicious.
Overall a great French bistro that would be suitable for any casual occasion. I will definitely be back in the future.
Nice little quiet bistro type restaurant. Staff is great, excellent service and attentive. I like the ambiance and lighting of the place. The food is also amazing and delicious. It brings me back to France. Definitely worth a taste if you’re missing french food.

Bonjour!! Super delicious fine dining French-American cuisine served in a small humble restaurants. There is a sense of rustic and whimsy that makes this place charming. Perfect for an intimate date, but can work for bigger groups too in their backroom area.
We were lucky to splurge on their Dine LA deals (unfortunately just ended), but they have the same dishes on the regular menu. For appetizers, we got the Mushroom Tourte, Escargot, and Roasted Bone Marrow. All of them were super decadent and succulents. My favorite was probably the Mushroom Tourte because it was very well done with the truffle oil wafting through, but the Escargot and Bone Marrow were really good too.
For entrées, we got the Duck Leg Confit, Australian Lamb Shank Tagine, Beef Bourignon, and Scottish Salmon. My favorite was the Duck Leg Confit. The flavors were spectacular and it was juicy and crispy on the outside. A real winner! The Lamb Tagine is definitely the most filling option with a huge portion of lamb. The Beer Bourignon was really solid too and had that comfort factor. It also had a noodle and carrot side dish too that was tasty. Lastly, the Scottish Salmon was well cooked, but felt as though it needed some brightness or sweetness to make it more interesting. It was good, but I felt like it could of used a bit of a kick.
For dessert, we got the Creme Brulee, Chocolate Mousse, and Meyer Lemon Pie. While all were tasty, the Meyer Lemon Pie was my stand out. The tartness amidst the marscapone was heavenly. The bits of dried fruits on top was playful and added some great texture. Soooo good!
Overall, great place to get some fancy French food with great presentation and friendly service. Would definitely visit again!
