Petit Trois

Hands-down the best Croque Madame or Monsieur in all of Los Angeles. I have been to pretty much all of the French bistros in town and constantly come back to this one. I even chose this place as my birthday breakfast back in April. I usually go to the location closer to me down in Los Angeles for dinner but I always come up here to the valley for breakfast because parking is easier and I like the design on the inside of this restaurant more than the Southern location. Same owners of John and Vinny’s plus chef Ludo both locations are a constant hit for me and it’s easily my favorite Croque Madame (a better version of the Monsieur) in all of LA or the valley. Service has always been quick and polite for me and the food quality has never fell short of great. I’ve tried all the seafood dinner options (Trout, Bass, Mussels) and really enjoy each of those. I know I love a place when I crave different dishes from their brunch and also dinner menu. It’s honestly in my top three favorite French restaurants in LA and I highly recommend to anyone for any occasion. I have been here many times and I plan to be back many times in the future.

My friend and I wanted to try something new. He knew of this place from a buzzfeed video on YouTube. We definitely knew that we had to try the escargots. The host was very kind and welcoming. Our waiter, Jacob was professional and kind. I asked for a tea with little caffeine and when he told me they were out, he recommended another that would suit me and he was right. The burgundy escargots were delicious! I wished I tried it when I was in Paris, but Paris came to Sherman Oaks! We later had our second course of the skirt steak frites and a big mec burger. The steak was so filling, but my stomach remembered the delicious sauce and every bite that I didn't know how I could est more. THE burger was amazing! It was so mouth-watering that as it went in my mouth, it was as if it melted once it touched my tongue. It reminded me of the scene from 'Field of Dreams' when Doc changes from a young man to an old man. That is one of my favorite films and the burger has become one of my favorites too. Finally, the deserts of the chocolate mousse and souffle were exquisite. My friend and I finished so much of it that we had to walk it off. The experience of the restaurant is something I will have to do again with a date or special friend who enjoys the finer tastes of food.
