Cafe Beaujolais in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Nice atmosphere but a bit too pricey. The chef is retiring and the restaurant will close this July 2024

Very sad to hear that Cafe Beaujolais will be closing at the end of the month. It is one of mine and my husband's all time favorites. Best prepared duck my husband ever had. Thank you for setting high standards all these years. 🫶

Food was great and the staff were very friendly

We used to go here then they closed down. They are back. If you like to take your time while dining and have conversations, this is the place. No rush. Great tasring food.

Very good cuisine, very helpful, friendly, fine cuisine we recommend. Fresh products and tasteful cuisine. This should be highlighted in the USA 😁 See you very soon +++

Always yummy!! New ownership since re-opening. Some changes to the menu but still high quality, tasty food and service.

Been coming here for many years. Delicious French food and great ambiance, love this place.

first the most important stuff: the food is excellent especially the pork chop special. french onion soup is also good. the service was excellent as well. the most offputting thing about this place was the smell. i don't know how to describe it, but it smells like a bathroom that's been cleaned with really pungent chemical cleaner. i dunno. this is something i don't complain about very often, so it's hard to put into words. that shouldn't deter you from eating here since it didn't seem to be a problem for the rest of the diners, and i stuck it out until the end.

Good French food at reasonable prices.

Food was so good no ac, great service but only beer and. No atmosphere at all

Booked as back-up for Valentine's Day 2023 because of all the rave reviews. The original plan is an outdoor rooftop dinner, but "you can plan a pretty picnic, but you can't predict the weather." A handful of tables at 7pm. 1 star: cleanliness. 2 star: friendly staff. There's nothing else to note. Cozy area with dated decor. Large mirrors on every wall, I feel like I'm in a fishbowl. The food is mediocre for that hefty price point. Either give me quality or quantity, and it missed the mark for both. My gf said the best part was the complimentary with individual wrapped butter.

A delicious and decadent meal is what you're gonna get at Cafe Beaujolais. It's a great French spot.

Fist time at this place after pandemic, very disappointed. Let's start with the decor, I still remember the cozy atmosphere of a Paris bistro, now the place is cold with cement floor, hard metal chairs. Then the service, ordered a bottle of wine, server was checking the tables, walking around, never realized that our glasses were empty, never offered to refill. Then the food, I ordered the steak with fries, I got a plate full of fries and a huge steak on top! How I was supposed to cut the steak with all those fries underneath????

Mistake on wine. Food ok but not great.

Dined there January 8 2023...and the food especially my Salmon was excellent 👍☺️ Good Wine Great Service 🙂🐕‍🦺

I took my husband here for our anniversary and it was GREAT! The Food was cooked perfectly, the staff was very, very attentative. Our glasses were half full, and they would fill it up, our bread basket was half full, and they'd quickly fill it up. I have no complaints about this place at all. From outside, it doesn't look like much. It's a big black door connected to a small front entrance, as soon as you open the door, a French Man, greets you. You are taken into another dimension. You think you're in America, and within a few short steps, you travel to France for an experience you will never forget. All the waiters speak French, and English of course, it feels so unreal and like a dream. It's a little pricey, totally worth every penny though. Update: This was my husband's and I's FAVORITE place to eat when we saved up for it. We just recently returned, and it was a completely different place from the original. They must've changed ownership. Food was bland, not cooked well, service was not enjoyable. Definitely not worth the big price tag unfortunately 😕

We love Cafe Beaujolais! The atmosphere is lovely, food is delicious, great wine selection and friendly staff. The live music on Fridays and Saturdays is an added bonus. We’ve been coming here for 20+ years. It’s wonderful for date night, special occasions and cozy mid week dinners when you’re craving a delicious meal.

I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant and the service was really great!

Very nice atmosphere. We are pleased. Food is very good.

For more than 15 years, I have been coming to this gem of a restaurant. It is one of those places that you can count on - every time the dishes you love come out exactly as you remembered them. The atmosphere is like coming home, not fancy, it feels like you are sitting in your families dining room have a home cooked meal. I especially want to call out Keith the bartender! He makes sure that everything is taken care of and has a genuine interest in you having an amazing experience. He knows his wine and always gives us the perfect suggestion for what we are eating - he is great! So don't miss this old school French standard of a restaurant - you will walk away with a happy tummy and a smile on your face.

Food was OK, except the bread, which was a complete failure. Unfortunately, the quality of the bread at a "French" joint needs to be exceptional. It was not, and I can't really remember what else we got. Not a good sign. For the price we paid, it should have been a bit more memorable in good ways. Stick to Petit Trois if you've got high out expectations. It's the same price range.

A neighborhood place with rave reviews, and we wanted to like it.Though the food was fine, it was far too expensive for the decor, and the menu was limited... there were no chicken dishes, for example, and just 3 desserts.The interior ambience was so bad. It was obviously a coffee shop in a previous life. Light blue walls, a dirty-looking brown floor, orange naugahyde benches and bright lighting. Ok, a couple of faded prints of Paris. For $500, they could paint the walls a brick color, put B&W linoleum on the floor, upgrade the lighting, or just get dimmers, and add a few French touches. We were disappointed. Honestly, many taco shops display more visual effort.

Chef Nober was nice enough to give me a saute pan and French jar for my my Olives.

My daughter took me to dinner on Mother's Day. We are from Eagle Rock and have been eating here since they opened many years ago. First the positives: It was clean, wait staff were friendly & attentive, and the live music was very nice. He played french accordion music and ragtime jazz piano. Loved it. The negatives: We shared an endive salad which was excessively bitter with no dressing to balance; we could not finish it. My daughter's filet mignon, was an inch thick, overcooked with grissle. When mentioned to waiter he apologetically.. sent back to redo the order. When new order came it was a New York with peppercorns. She just ate it as not to wait for a second correction. I got the halibut and it was nice however, less flavorful than I had remembered. We shared a disappointing Apple Tartine that was cold had no flavor and very soggy bottom. It came with 2 tablespoons of very good ice cream. The expresso machine was out of order and the regular coffee arrived lukewarm.

A very cute spot with an excellent menu, friendly staff, and amazing food. Every meal here is a welcome treat and wonderful experience.

Wonderful service and the servers are super nice, also the desert was tasty. WE WERE ABLE TO DRAW ON THE TABLE FOR MY FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY ^-^

By far the best restaurant in Eagle Rock. Live music on the weekends, great international wine selection, and killer steaks à la français! You get what you pay for!

I am a huge fan of French Bistros in general so was happy to find this one in Eagle Rock. A casual bistro with great service and food honestly always sounds good to me. Parking is easy as there is tons of neighborhood and street parking available, the menu has a good selection of items and our server was very polite. I started off the meal with a personal favorite of mine, French Onion soup, and it really hit the spot on a cold December night. I usually like a darker roux, almost brown, whereas this is a lighter broth but still a very nice taste to it. Followed up with the flamed filet mignon with Roquefort and it was delicious. It was cooked very well and the cheese was a new change for me with steak, but was an easy sell to me since I love cheese. A really all around delightful meal. I would recommend to anyone especially if you're a fan of bistros. That being said I would not suggest for a birthday or anniversary meal just because of the more casual nature of the place. I will be back again in the future it was a very nice experience.

This place never disappoints! Food and atmosphere is always wonderful. The staff speak French which adds to making it feel special and reminiscent of past travel days. Highly recommend this place, my family loves it!

I have not been there yet, it looks very good and a few French friends of mine recommended it, The menu is very attractive, but missing a Cheese plater. How can a French diner not finish with a cheese option?..

The French onion soup with bread and cheese was good with a tasty flavor, warm temperature, and not too hot. The spaghetti A LA Bolognese was delicious, and the Le Steak Maitre D' Hotel was huge. The chocolate mousse was also good. Had an excellent experience.

My family likes French kitchen and I decided to make a surprise for them and order some positions from here. Well, I chose Le Steak Maitre D’ Hotel, Le Poulet Aux Morilles and Les Fettuccini De La Mer. All meals were delicious and absolutely incredible. I didn't expect that portions will be so huge. Cafe Beaujolais made our family dinner warm and friendly.

I have been coming here for 20 years since I moved to Mount Washington and my new neighbors told me about it. It is open again!. One of my favorite restaurants. It is country French The sauces are just right. The waiters are French. It is truly a lovely place to come for dinner. You get transported to a wonderful experience.

Carefully crafted meals by a superb staff. We love this place.

French food is ALWAYS a good idea! Drop in and practice your French S'il vous plaît

A little bit disappointed with the food. This used to be our favorite restaurant for French food. The service was good and the servers were very attentive, but we notice a change. It looks more like a dinner. The food quality is not what used to be. We order the specials Chicken Milanese and grilled salmon. The chicken was a little bit dry and the salmon was good but it was served with mashed potatoes. The presentation was not what used to be and the flavor was good but not great. Tart tatan as desert was good but not great either. Not sure if we will return. May try once more.

Wonderful place. I recommend their steaks, and the specials.

El espacio es un poco extraño, algo así como un garaje convertido, pero la comida es muy tradicional del país francés y muy buena. Por supuesto, tuve la sopa de cebolla francesa, que no me decepcionó, y compartimos una ensalada y un plato de carne. Me gustó la forma en que el menú tenía "soupe du soir" en lugar del habitual "soupe du jour". Según lo recomendado por el camarero, tuvimos la tarte tatin para el postre y estaba delicioso. Teníamos un vaso de Sancerre cada uno, que era un poco caro a $ 18. 00 cada uno, pero en general fue una buena comida y un restaurante al que volvería.

If you are craving for a taste of French cuisine, just go there.

Cafe Beaujolais, to me, always seems to be a very positive culinary experience. Highly recommend.

Terrible metal seats, noisy, and extremely slow kitchen; 1.5 hours! Good food and average prices. Fairly good service.

Food is very good. Pace coming out of the kitchen is slow. Come with patience.

Cafe Beaujolais did not disappoint in ambiance, service, quality and taste of food, and to us the price was just about right.

Always amazing food. Nicest servers (and they let me order in broken French). Wonderful wine.

Parking was nearby and free. Live piano player. French onion soup was the worst I've ever had and I wish they had more to drink besides a dozen wines and pop. But the steaks were good. They are pricey though.

Best French Onion soup in Los Angeles

Super resto viande terriblement bonne je suis boucher à Paris on a rien a envier a leur viande très bonne beaucoup de gout et dieu ses que je mis connaît ses mon métier j'adore se resto personnel agréable direction au top

My husband and I came here for our date night and as always it was off the chain. This place is so worth us driving 1.5 hours we love in the high desert. The food is superb, the staff is amazing and so friendly, the ambience is so welcoming. It's so worth the drive for us. What also makes this restaurant stand out is the staff and the freshness of the the food that is prepared. I want to acknowledge the staff that made our dining well worth it. Oliviet, Jim and Leo! Thank you so much for making our night great. Until our next visit in a few months. If you haven't been here at this French Restaurant Cafe Beaujolais I highly recommend you try it you will not be disappointed!!

Hemos estado comiendo aquí durante 20 años. Fue más elegante en los años 90, sin embargo, la comida y el vino siguen siendo muy buenos, y no es necesario vestirse para sentirse cómodo. Francés de propiedad y operación.

Been going here for close to 20 years

Some of the finest food I've enjoyed. Very friendly service by the wait staff, very attentive and hospitable. The owner is very friendly and makes it a point to welcome you personally and see you out when you've finished. This place is a bit expensive, but believe me when I say you get every bit of value from the amazing French cuisine that you are served. We've been 3 times and have never been disappointed. I really love this restaurant. Its cozy, and charming atmosphere lends to spending a long relaxing dinner with friends. Very European style. You are able to stay as long as you like with never being pressured to leave. In fact, they will never bring you your check until you request it. The sauces prepared with the meals I've eaten are absolutely exceptional. The cuts of meat are tender, good sized and cooked to perfection as is the fish I've also had there. A perfect place to go have a nice night out with friends, or a romantic place for a date night you wont go wrong eating at this amazing restaurant.

Nothing to fancy, overpriced steak comes with a bed of french fries. French fries aren't even french! They're american! I would only come back for the wine.

I lived in Paris for a few years. So I have a bit of experience when it comes to French food. Cafe Beaujolais is as authentic as you can get and dare i say it even exceeded most of what i ate while in France. I had the lamb stew. Amazingly simple, tender, the lamb retain its flavor instead of getting lost in an ocean of seasonings. My wife had the croque au vin, truly the best I ever had. Slow cooked but the wine still had its essence and added a richness often lost in typical croque au vin. Highly recommend.

Really cool place, go visit and take it in. The food was great, service was stellar, coming back for sure.

Happiness is here and you should experience it at least once

Although the restaurant is unassuming from the exterior (a dimly lit façade on a major street in Eagle Rock with few places directly around it), this little French Bistrot is one of the hidden gems of Los Angeles. First, the food is prepared with care, regardless if you go on a busy weekend night or in the late evening on a random unseasonably chilly Wednesday in March. I have tried many things on the menu, and I have enjoyed everything. The highlights for me include the strip steak, the filet (of course, prepared with a delicious sauce with savory morels), the duck, and the fish. I love that the sides are always delicately prepared (but incredibly delicious), including string beans, asparagus, and cooked carrots. The escargots are wonderful, too - if you have a fear of eating snails but have always had a slight curio The food is decadent, so expect to he pretty full by the end of your meal (I would guess that at least a little butter goes into most of what they cook). The staff are friendly, and they never bother you, letting you take your time with your meal. My friends and I have been the last people in the restaurant after closing on several occasions, and we have never once felt rushed to leave, even when the staff are already having their meals and getting ready to put things away. The feeling of being relaxed and having the freedom to have long conversations with my friends are definitely two of my favorite things about Cafe Beaujolais. The prices are reasonable given that you are getting a gourmet meal in a calm and quiet atmosphere.

Esta es la segunda vez aquí. En ambas ocasiones la comida y el servicio fue excelente. Es un lugar muy cómodo y agradable. Es un bistro francés a un precio razonable.

Delicious Provencal French menu. Cozy atmosphere

Cozy, candlelit, unpretentious French bistro. Love how most of the waiters speak French. They recently changed the menu and sadly got rid of my favorite salad (endive) but you cant go wrong with the escargot, and steak a poivre for dinner. A favorite date night spot of mine in the neighborhood!

Very good food in an unsuspecting area. The general atmosphere is fair and detracts from the overall experience this 4 stars. Enjoyed the strip steak with peppercorn sauce. Was cooked as ordered and served hot. Would eat here again.

First-rate cuisine professionally served

100% authentic French food. Could not be more French than that. Perfect escargots with REAL French bread. Salad dressing of another world. Great Steak au poivre and even better Spaghetti Bolognese. Their creme brulee is just right and the cafe tastes like .. cafe. Si vous êtes français et voulez un bon petit goût de la France, n'hésitez pas. C'est difficile de faire mieux.

We booked online for a Thursday evening, and received an efficient, prompt response. The warm, cosy, candle-lit space isn't huge, but the tables are spaced a reasonable distance apart. However, as other reviews have noted, the noise can sometimes build up, especially if there happen to be a couple of noisy tables. The service is quick and friendly - the only blemish being a slight mix-up in the order of an appetiser and a main course. Each of our choices was really delicious, even memorable. The menu and wine list, although limited, still cater for a wide range of tastes. Thoroughly recommended.

Always beautiful, memorable meals.

This is the first time we try Cafe Beauolais after leaving in Eagle Rock and Glendale for more than 10 years. The services was very good, not very crowded on Wednesday. The food was excellent. Special mention to the Halibut dish. Perfect mashed potatoes that was light, the orange touch of the crusted fish was delicate complimenting the perfectly cook fish. We are planning to come back to try other dishes.

Always memorable and delicious with service fit for a king.

Delicious food, excellent wine, helpful and friendly staff. Bypass the menu and ask for the evening's food and wine recommendation. Gets LOUD with celebration during peak hours. Bastille day favorite!

Impeccable service and phenomenal food. The trout, halibut and rack of lamb were all best ever level. Pack your patience they do as the sign said cook slow, but it was all worth the wait. We will be back!

Food was spectacular and the servers were wonderfully attentive; however we could hardly hear each other across the table.

The best wait staff and vibe in Eagle Rock.

Nice neighborhood French Restaurant. Friendly server. Food was good with huge servings.

I really like the steaks here, but I really enjoy the atmosphere even more.

Love this place. Consistently good food and service.

Delicious French food at a reasonable price, great wines, relaxed atmosphere.

Great service 👍, great environment, the chef needs to take cooking classes 😞

Intimate and cozy experience. My husband and I came here to celebrate. 2 of us had a wonderful experience for $70 including tip. The ambiance is low lighting with a cool french vibe. The fish was semi-fresh, but not the freshest. The vegetables were well seasoned and cooked. All in all, we had a lovely experience.

Like a neighborhood bistro in France! Reservations last evening for six. Each ordered a different main and starter. All was very good! The Rack of Lamb was cooked as ordered and very tender/flavorful. NY Strip with frites also very good. The service was somewhat slow, but the place was jammed! Good Bordeaux (all four bottles) at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be back again on next visit to California~

A diverse menu with a great wine menu as well. Quiet enough for dinner table conversations. A good Buratta - tomato salad, end endive arugula salad. We had black cod and Halibut - both were well prepared and tasty.

Our friends love it here and promoted Beaujolais as a great French bistro. We found the almost pitch-black space to be absurdly dark. The wine list was truly mediocre for a French restaurant. Our nice goat-cheese salads and soups came quickly. Then we waited 35 minutes for our entrees. My trout came on a veritable mountain of mashed potatoes -not mentioned on the menu! The trout itself wasn’t overcooked, and the sauce was nice, but the dish’s effect was vast, white and unappetizing. My spouse’s coq au vin was good but not great, and he tried for 15minutes to get a waiter’s attention to change to a red wine with his entree. Our experience, with entrees all priced in the 20’s, wasn’t good value.

I got the champagne fish, and my boyfriend got filet mignon. We shared the endive salad, and it was so good! My boyfriend got a French wine, which he said he didn't find elsewhere typically. We had a great time.

They go above and beyond customer service atmospheres nice and the food I would rate them it 8 out of 10

Have gone here for years with 3 buddies. The service (with the exception of one person) is awesome. They bring bread upon bread and butter as you are about to finish it. There's someone always looking at your table, it's awesome. Food is great, specially the Filet mignon with peppercorn sauce on the side. The beer, 3 Monts & Gavroche are my favorite, specially the 3 Monts, it's big enough to share with 2 people, and it is corked, not a cap. The reason I have 4 stars is that one server I talked about earlier. We (all 4 of us) stopped going there for 2 years (their loss) because he p****ed me off. The one time that my meat was bad, he second guessed me and argued with me. I carve my own meats at home and know a lot about meat. So just went back after 2 years. Avoided him, ask for Gilles, he's great.

Still the best french restaurants on the east side. Great food ans service in dimly lit, charming space.

Magnificent French restaurant. Great ambiance.

Delicious French food in this neighborhood gem. Parking is hard to find.

Service was great! The food... Tasty but not the best.

Quaint neighborhood spot that is VERY popular. We went on a rainy Saturday evening and it was packed. I had the French onion soup- Superb! The Flamed Filet with Foie Gras and truffle oil- OMG!!! awesome- I took one bite and my palette was in heaven. Perfectly cooked and deliciously paired with carrots, green beans and potatoes. The creme' brulee was so good, it was a perfect way to end the dinner. Very friendly staff, NO RESERVATIONS (but we got seated after 30 mins. of arrival); a little noisy, but it's definitely a spot where you gather with your friends to catch up and enjoy a delicious meal and a bottle of wine! I'll be back with my appetite!

Lovely ambience, great French cuisine. A must visit when in Eagle Rock. A bit pricey but would highly recommend. Frequently visited by locals which is always a good sign. Was one of my favourite restaurants when I lived in LA.

Very warm and welcoming service and atmosphere. Delicious! Our first meal in LA this trip and the bar is set very high for the rest of the trip. The duck and the NY strip steak were both on point. We may just be back before we head home.

Best French onion soup ! Not one bad menus item.

Sometimes a wait. It's worth it. Make sure you go with someone you wanna talk to and spend the day with because everything is cooked slowly and the environment is relaxed.

Par ou commencé l’endroit est très jolie l’accueil est tout bonnement génial la nourriture exquise et surtout si vous êtes français l’accueil serras en français je le recommande fortement

I've been coming here for more than 10 years. My favorite dish is the NY Steak with the Au Gratin Potatoes. Their french bread is also delicious! The service is very attentive and this is definitely one of my favorite restaurants! The only drawback is that they do not have a parking lot. Street parking is abundant most of the time, but there are the rare occasions when they are hard to come by.

Not bad, but it’s not a French style)

Excellent service and the best French food in LA....

My wife and I have eaten here several times, always for special occasions because French food is expensive! This place, however, manages to serve excellent cuisine for half the price of other places because it isn't fancy. The waiters are all French but are so polite and helpful you may think it's an act; no snootiness here, which is why we keep going back. The interior of the place is somewhat shabby (avoid looking at the ceiling), which is why they keep it dim--so dim, in fact, that it makes using the crayons and paper on every table very difficult. There are very few blind painters for a reason. I've had the filet mignon (delicious) with creamy mashed potatoes (fantastic!), the pork chop special (best chop I've had, ever), the scallops special (very good, but something I could make at home myself; I should have got the rack of lamb or trout); for an appetizer I tried escargot for the first time and loved it, and for desert I strongly recommend the creme brulee. The house wine I had was fairly cheap and very good; that ain't no 3 Buck Chuck! They do not take reservations, so you better plan on being there when they open, especially on weekends, because it fills up quickly.

Great little French restaurant in the Eagle Rock area that has a great atmosphere and serves good food. The proprietor seated us and recited the specials, Each of us ordered a different dish and all were very good. Nice wine list and also a full bar. The chocolate mouse is one of the richest and best I have tasted! Great service!

My husband and I went out for dinner last night to Cafe Beaujolais and we loved it. The place is very cozy, makes me want to go to France. The service is wonderful and the food wow! So delicious! I loved it and would definetely go back.

Is inexpensive French food in town, service is good even during the rush hour. We tried the oven backed halibut, the lemon souce and orange zest is totally make the dish pop. Must try!

OKAY so my family and I went in on a Saturday around 7:00 PM and didn't have to wait for a table which at a good joint is usually odd to say the least. Either way the ambiance was relaxing and inviting and we were greeting almost instantly to be seated. The tables were cute with their brown paper and little cups with crayons that were enjoyed by my son and us throughout dinner. They came and brought us bread (MIND BLOWING GOOD) which just looks like a regular baguette but oh boy was it much more than that along with water upon sitting down! In a timely fashion our server came to greet us in his beautiful French accent and informed us of the daily specials. He gave us ample time to place our order checking in and answering questions we had to make our final decision. We went with escargot as an appetizer which was hands down some of the best escargot I've ever had. I got lamb and my husband had the trout - both were phenomenal. Even the little tomato with breadcrumbs on top was a delicious treat. My husband who doesn't even like tomatoes agreed! This was all wonderful but I do have to say the service got lax. We had to wait FOREVER to place our dessert order and there seemed to be a bit of confusion as to who did that - our server - the bus boys - either way I was getting a bit ticked. Then we ordered the creme brulee which was good BUT they torched the top a bit too long and had too much of the burnt flavor. I'm hoping this was a fluke because up until then everything was so good.
