Regalade · Beverly Grove
Infatuation's #1 LA French — reasonably priced 3rd Street bistro serving French classics with no reservations required.
Camphor · Arts District
Infatuation's #2 — the Michelin-starred Arts District brasserie whose French cooking carries a subtle Indo-Anglo pulse.
pasjoli · Santa Monica
Infatuation's #5 — Dave Beran's Santa Monica bistro whose pressed duck and deboned cordon bleu wings reset expectations for LA French.
Petit Trois · Hollywood
Infatuation's #7 — Ludo Lefebvre's ten-plus-year-old Hollywood counter; a 2019 Michelin Bib Gourmand that still defines LA bistro cooking.
République · Hancock Park
Infatuation's #9 — the Manzkes' grand La Brea brasserie, the consensus go-to for croque madame and French bakery breakfast.
