About this restaurant

Charming
Neighbourhood gem
Good for special occasions

In 2024, the original location of Petit Trois, on Highland Ave in Hollywood, celebrates 10 years as a beloved, can't miss part of LA's dining scene. Chef/Owner Ludo Lefebvre puts his spin on classic French flavors including the cult-favorite Big Mec burger, swimming in rich Bordelaise sauce, perfectly roasted Heritage chicken with compressed potatoes fried in clarified butter, a French Dip sandwich served with a version of the restaurant's onion soup for dipping, and lots more. Start with the restaurant's housemade baguette served with the creamiest French butter and pair it all with wine from the restaurant's thoughtfully curated list, which includes 16 by the glass options. With a design inspired by classic Parisian bistros, Petit Trois transports guests in its 2 dining areas as well as an outdoor patio. The dining room is also available for private events.

Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Ludo Lefebvre

From the OpenTable editors: Acclaimed chef Ludo Lefebvre is still turning out some of the best French food in the city at his award-winning postage stamp-sized bistro in Hollywood, open since 2014. Sit shoulder-to-shoulder at the cosy marble bar to sample Lefebvre’s simple but masterfully prepared dishes, like steak tartare, escargots drowned in butter, and a perfectly prepared omelette that puts most others to shame.

I love this place. The endive salad is a 5 star dish. I find that some other dishes, and the service, could be a little bit better to make it a 5 star experience, yet not everything needs to be perfect to be a favorite and a much beloved place. The music was great! I love the Very lively and enjoyable atmosphere or the newer dining room.

Came for birthday lunch and my girlfriend and I order the special - Dover whitefish meinière with brown butter sauce. our husbands order steak frites and drinks are en route. Server returns to tell us he forgot to mention the special is $115. My friend changes her order to the croque madam sandwich and I almost change mine too but since it’s my birthday, I order it. The presentation is lovely but it’s actually way overcooked, the sauce makes it bearable but very disappointing to say the least. Everyone else loved their meals. I tell our server the fish is overcooked. It’s noted. The desserts were delish. My chocolate soufflé was comped. Even so, can’t believe the chef plated that hard fish and served it to me at that elevated price. Not a good experience, but couldn’t let that spoil my day. But three days later, it bothers me. Ughhh!!

I requested a table seating, My friend and I were sat at the bar counter which apparently they are calling the “chefs table”. I came to catch up with my friend which wasn’t happening between the chef shouting out orders and the dishes being washed in front of us. The food was just okay. Not sure I will go back as the other guests were poorly dressed in hoodies. Especially for the price.

I was waiting to try this omelette after seeing on TV. It's hands down the best. Simple and perfect. I'll come back every time I'm in town.

food was fantastic and service was wonderful. Only changes I would’ve made was to turn up the music a little bit to create more atmosphere and increase the size of the steak frites, even if you have to raise the price a bit.

The food at Petit Trois is the best taste of Paris in LA. The service does, unfortunately, leave something to be desired.
