Comfy atmosphere—feels like your neighborhood brasserie in Paris! Great service, wonderful wine. Unfortunately, I'd already had dinner before arriving but can't wait to go back for the steak frites!
La Poubelle is one of my favorite places in LA. It's been around a long time, which is an indication of a solid establishment in a chaotic and trend-based market. Also, the owner is actually French and she makes deliciously authentic French staples. The Coq au vin and the pommes frites are worth the extra mile!
I love French cuisine so a Bistro on Franklin Avenue with a good reputation is an easy sell to me. Tonight we dined outside and I really like being able to sit and watch all the foot and car traffic go by. It’s also right across from the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center so it adds to the only in LA experience. The menu changes often so the options will be different depending on the day. The way it works is you bring up the menu via the QR code and pay for the entire meal, including tip, upfront. Then runners bring out the food to you. This is not the location to go for white glove service, it’s a more casual setting where you order by your phone and can leave as soon as you are done.
I started off with the Beet & Goat Cheese Salad and I loved it. It reminded me of Spring and I especially liked the vinaigrette with it. We also ordered fries for the table and they were delicious and went quickly. For my entrée I chose the grilled Branzino and it was very crispy and cooked well. That’s a personal favorite fish of mine so it was nice to see it as an option on the menu.
Overall a really nice casual option in East Hollywood with easy parking and flexible seating. There is a lot of street parking, as well as a parking lot behind it and the large Gelson‘s lot next to it.
Went for then music, will be back for the food. What a great find/spot! Loved the crowd, the vibe and especially the music venue, Le Son. Felt like a vintage, old school speak easy. Intimate and sophisticated, yet laid back. Great cocktails too! One of my new spots for music or just to hang out, here in LA!
Everything was great! Was pretty cold though even inside so bring a jacket :) food was delicious!
Great place to enjoy some amazing food. It does get very loud inside with the bar patrons. I just wished they would not have ran out of one of the food dishes. Valet near by is very inexpensive.
Amazing food, great ambiance, fantastic service!
