Petit Trois L'Original

Chic French Bistro Steps from the Stage

Petit Trois L'Original is a charming, Parisian-style bistro nestled in the heart of Hollywood, just minutes from some of Los Angeles' most iconic concert venues. With its intimate counter seating, classic French menu, and casually sophisticated vibe, it offers a slice of France just off Highland Avenue. Whether you're craving escargot, steak frites, or a perfectly balanced French omelet, this spot delivers timeless elegance with a relaxed LA twist.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is a major plus—you're just a short drive or ride-share away from major venues like the Hollywood Bowl and the Fonda Theatre. The bistro’s efficient, counter-style service makes it ideal for grabbing a quality bite before the show without feeling rushed. The cozy, bustling atmosphere adds to the pre-show excitement, while still offering a level of sophistication that makes your night feel special from the start.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to start the night on a delicious note
• Solo travelers who appreciate counter dining and conversation
• Couples planning a romantic pre-concert dinner
• Fans wanting a lively but intimate dining experience
• Budget-conscious music lovers seeking high-quality food at fair prices (especially during lunch)

What People Say

Reviewers on TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the authentic French flavors, with dishes like the omelet and French onion soup frequently getting shout-outs. Many diners love the intimate, counter-only setup, noting that it makes for a unique and memorable dining experience. The friendly and knowledgeable staff add to the warm, neighborhood feel despite the restaurant’s high-end culinary chops.

Areas for Improvement

The small size means it can fill up quickly, and there's no traditional table seating, so it's not ideal for large groups or those wanting more space. Parking in this part of LA can be tricky—ride-shares are your friend here. Also, the bistro doesn’t take reservations, so plan accordingly if you’re on a tight pre-show schedule.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to a concert nearby and want a quick-yet-special meal in a stylish setting, Petit Trois L'Original is a deliciously French way to elevate your night out.
