Figaro Bistrot in Los Angeles - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ok at very best. Wildly overpriced for the quality and taste. It’s not bad, it’s just not particularly good.

Simple filling fare in a great indoor and outdoor environment. Huge portions, reasonably priced wines. Fun fun fun

Friendly and prompt service with EXCELLENT food! The selection of various foods and drinks is extensive and is vegetarian friendly. There is both indoor and outdoor seating. The seating is cramped but the food and service make up for it.

Very hip establishment with a cool ambiance but the food is seriously lacking in freshness and flavor. We got the fries (mediocre and soggy), oysters (so not fresh! We had to request the waiter swap one of them out because it was a gooey mess of flesh…also the one I had was super fishy and almost bitter); calamari (only decent dish), escargot (okay), and tuna tartare (extremely flavorless and fishy). Would come back here for drinks instead of food next time!

The best restaurant we ate at during our tour of California. The service was super nice and helpful without being over the top. Had a great evening!! The fact is that we are going home tomorrow, otherwise we would definitely have come back again ♡

Delicious breakfast and kind staff 10/10

I came here for a late dinner and had the best time. I was transported back to Paris. The food is some of the best I've had and we had the best server (Anna Maria) who recommended everything we had to try. She really made our night and I can't thank her enough! I had Escargots, rack of ribs, and the sea bass - all really good. If you have a sweet tooth, make sure you to get dessert :)

Had a solid brunch here today - to start, the Hazelnut latte with a couple of macarons was nice. French toast was lovely, eggs were soft and fluffy and bacon was crispy… garlic truffle fries were tasty/crispy - very strong, raw garlic pieces on the fries… service was friendly and attentive. Lovely day to sit outside. Highly recommend.

Breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea, apperitivo, dinner, everything in one spot. Ideal for a Happy hour, or to be happy in a hour. Relaxing ambiance. Food is always great. Coffee and pastries are on another level. LA is dress as a french bu. What a place!

The atmosphere is very pleasant and the menu is very extensive. The salmon tartare was very good and the sides (salad in this case) were abundant. We also ordered battered calamari and a spinach quiche that was very tasty. If you want a healthier and unprocessed meal, this place is more than recommended. The prices are high, but I think that's typical in LA if you don't want fast food.

The staff and atmosphere at this local spot had left a little impression on me. Maryanne, Henry, and the owner have all showed beautiful human connection and restaurant services. I wish this place all the blessings it can hold! I’ll keep coming back. Much love

I went for date night and had such a LOVELY TIME. The staff is incredible and very attentive, the environment made me feel like I was in Europe enjoying a meal at my leisure. We got a few items and shared them; you can totally share everything if that is of interest to you. They also had a good selection of wine as well as great cocktails. I highly recommend and can’t wait to go back.

AMAZING experience at Figaro Bistrot food here is amazing and the staff is really friendly and the vibe of this place is very romantic looks and feels like we are in romantic movie scene you can dine in or outside I highly recommend this place with your love one or friends

Great place to buy a drink and get food! Great prices!

Host was super nice! Was busy and he did his best to seat me and my friend quickly. Drinks and food were great :)

Came here for dinner today. I had an amazing experience with really good hospitality from the restaurant staff. I tried the seafood pasta, pizza and filet mignon. The food tasted really really fresh and authentic. Will definitely be returning here very soon. It’s good to finally have some authentic French food in LA!

Beautiful food and great ambiance. Soooo looking forward to coming back here again :)

Magical place with magical food

This is obviously a very hip, sought after dining location as it was busy on a Friday evening. The host was very kind. When I sat I wasn’t given water. I also wasn’t seen by a server for 40 minutes. When I was she was rude and told me she was doing last call - it was 8 pm- she was referring to happy hour but didn’t make that clear. I again asked for water, wine, oysters as an appetizer and a steak for dinner. The oysters came at the same time as the steak- 40 minutes later- still no water. I ate one oyster and it was clearly bad- I could barely eat it- I tried a second one to make sure and had to spit it in my napkin. I never return things or complain at all. When I asked to return the oysters and have them removed from the bill - the waitress said she could not remove them even when I explained that they were clearly bad. I asked for a manager and she said she was the manager. I also mentioned I still had no water - even after my complaint - still no water. And she refused to remove the oysters from my bill. After eating the mediocre steak, because I was incredibly hungry, I asked for my wine and the very least to be removed from my bill. She said she also could not do that. She did finally bring me my water just as I was finishing my steak. She didn’t offer to give me an additional drink on the house, or anything. And right before she brought me my bill, she dropped a cup of ketchup on the ground, which splashed all over me- which i understand is a mistake, but, even at that point, she did not offered to do anything for me. I’ll just say this, I’ve worked in my entire life, and I’ve never had such a horrible dining experience from a place that is obviously a “place to go” in Los Angeles. No matter where a restaurant is, service like this is unacceptable. Especially when you’re paying a premium price. So- the bistro is vibey, and a very “LA scene”, yes. But if you want decent food or decent service – or water with your meal – try a taco truck.

It's such a shame that a restaurant with such high quality food and a gorgeous atmosphere is plagued by such incompetent, arrogant, rude, and outright malicious staff. I went here for a late dinner with my friends tonight, and had the displeasure of being served by this waiter who was giving us a lot of attitude and mean looks right from the beginning in addition to making a snippy comment along the lines of "are you going to order something?" despite the fact we had just arrived. A few of my friends noticed too, but we kept it to ourselves as we know everyone can have a bad day. However, when it came time to order, our waiter neglected to write down our order because "(he'd) been there awhile." My friends are all pretty good natured and made a couple jokes but ultimately did not care. I ordered fried shrimp as an appetizer and their house pasta. My friend ordered the veggie pasta with no tomatoes. Instead of what I had ordered, I was given the pasta with five regular shrimp in my pasta and a 5 minute speech about how "actually our happy hour fryer is turned off so I couldn't make this for you - which despite 'working here for awhile' I didnt know because I don't work here at night so we had to do this." Which is honestly a WILD decision to make without talking to the customer first (probs would've just not gotten shrimp at all) but again: I didn't care. HOWEVER, my friend who had ordered no tomatoes in her pasta because she has something called complex mastocytosis activation that causes her to get very sick bc of select fruits, did in fact have an allergic reaction to the tomatoes that were still in her dish. She calmly gets up to take a bendryl and politely AND privately tell the waiter that she had an allergic reaction and was instead BRUTALLY reprimanded by the waiter who INSISTED he remembered and that it was the kitchen's fault and that she should've specified that she had an allergy (it's the waiter's job to clarify btw) and when my friend made a comment about how that sounded victim blame-y he rolled his eyes and made a sexist comment. Then the manager overhears and instead of solving the issue, JUMPS ON BOARD with the waiter and starts telling my friend she needed to "protect herself!!!" So my friend, obviously frustrated, mentions that it wasn't the first mistake he had made with our meal in reference to my situation and the waiter backs off but not even an apology was given. Finally the bill comes out, and not only am I paying extra for the shrimp I did not order but my friend is paying for the pasta with tomatoes!!!!! It took a separate friend to go and demand it being removed from the bill for it to happen despite them telling us "actually we were planning on doing that!" (im still paying extra for shrimp i didnt order btw). Finally, the revised bill is given to us and instead of apologizing the manager has to undermine us once again by INSISTING that it was just red pepper and the allergic reaction came from food contamination as if that makes it any better!!!! My friend was deeply sick for the rest of the night and it was YOUR FAULT! Without a doubt the worst service I've ever received in my whole life. That waiter should NEVER work a front-facing role ever again. Genuinely horrid, mean-spirited behavior. Until people like that no longer work there, you're better off ordering takeout from them (or having a pack of benedryl and a xanax on hand to tolerate your dining experience)

This place is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. Just delicious every time we go. The burrata, cheese raviolis, and steak salad are some of our go-tos. Absolutely stellar place 🩷🩷🩷

Classic frenchy cafe with great service and bistro food

Sat down late with a friend who had already ordered, understandable to wait for someone to notice. After 15min I got up to ask if I could order something- rather than taking my order there, they said someone would be with me. 10min later had to ask again. Fried artichokes filled with grease. Good French 75 though!

Fantastic service and the great atmosphere. The happy hour menu was outstanding.

Absolutely delicious, cloudsoft macarons. Favorites were the blueberry lavender and coffee. Lemon, rose, and raspberry were also quite good. Got an almond croissant as well, and it was pretty good, though maybe not particularly fresh by the time I ordered it at 8:30 pm. Sidewalk tables were bustling on a Tuesday night, so we just grabbed our baked goods from the counter inside and left.

You can never go wrong. The long list of appetizers to the great bar never disappoint.

It's real french style bistro restaurant & pub. I love it. Sweet desserts, delicious food! I've been there after hiking. Always invited my friends who visited Los Angeles. They said always good!

Fantastic French style cuisine!

No nonsense menu with solid options. Tasty meals. Great location on boardwalk ... Tasty, well-executed meals. The casual bistro vibe is enhanced by its great location right on the Santa Monica boardwalk. An ideal spot for people-watching over a glass of wine. While not reinventing the wheel, Figaro delivers on classic French flavors in a lively beachfront setting. A pleasant option for a laid-back yet satisfying meal.

Had the turkey burger w salad was juicy and had a homemade bun supurb

A place one comes for the atmosphere and the San-Franciscan vibe rather than the food itself. (Which tastes rather like glorified microwave food).

Lovely place with delicious food. 100% recommended!

Apparently they do not honor happy hour on Mother’s Day. Feels discriminatory towards us Mothers who happen not to be moms 😉💁🏻‍♀️

Like a great many Parisian cafes you can sit out front and people watch! This part of town is great for that. I had a Nutella crepe with strawberries on it! Tasty! Besides that I had two great lattes. I tried the spinach quiche and it was ok. I’m not sure it had the best consistency. It was oozy. It was tasty regardless. The $5 dollar bread basket is perfect! I love this place for nostalgic reasons but that’s not the only reason I return. Meter parking. Neighborhood parking for the lucky few.

Really enjoyed the great service and great food +coffee. I was fortunate to sit outside and take in the scenery as well.

in love with this spot, i’m here at least once a week. The staff is so fun and great at what they do. Great place to people watch outside or get cozy in the lounge. My favorite things to order are the chicken, seafood pasta, or french onion soup, but honestly everything is great

Kinda cool but they didn’t understand how to split a bill ? Weird

Traveled to Provence of Hollywood , our party enjoyed all the food that was served with every bite. Exquisite meals at reasonable prices. Loved the atmosphere! Thank you Autumn, Lina and Uka for accommodating our party. Compliments to the chef ! MERCY BEAUCOUP!

Good food. Good drinks. Good service.

Music is loud, drinks affordable, food is tasty. However the portions aren't filling

Love this French bistro! The menu is huge, the food is decent, the service is sometimes slow when they are packed but well worth the people watching and atmosphere on the sidewalk seating.

Ouchteu it feels good to taste a dish that is not fried! Onion soup and beef salad that were worth crossing the Atlantic. A France that benefits from serving on another continent. With a VIP welcome and service, thank you Marianne or Jocelyne, my memory is failing

One of the best French Bistrot in Los Angeles, the service is really nice, the waiter and waitress know and can give really good recommendations! Definitely a place to visit if you like french food and french dining!

I was having a typical quarter life crisis. Since I was not able to buy a one way ticket to Buenos Aires, this was the next best thing. I didn't figure out the meaning of life but the Prosciutto Flatbread and Shirley Temple HIT.

Great food and service + the best espresso martini I’ve had in the USA. A bit pricey but worth it every once in a while.

Fun good food, fair prices, good service, good location and great hours.

I was skeptical of this place at first, as it seemed from the outside to be the headquarters of social media influencers, but I'm glad I gave it a shot, because the food was delicious, and the music and ambience was very authentically French. The service wasn't the best, as I asked for water 3 times and never got it, but they were probably understaffed that day, so it's not enough to deter me from going back.

On top of being LA's most-charming slice of French cafe culture, food, and atmosphere, the staff are always accommodating and professional. Thank you for hosting us last night.

Happy hour was wonderful - $10 martinis ??? This place met all expectations for an early evening drink. They need to up their staffing - our poor server had too many tables to keep track of. Perfect date night spot, or lovely place to catch up and gossip. Otherwise, will be back.

It's always too packed and busy. But it's a great place to share with friends.

Food is good .. ambiance is even better

Excellent food, drinks, cozy vibes and great service

The food is great, but the service is lacking!

Great food but service it is not the best

I usually come alone here and don't have to wait, escargot's are always topnotch, seafood pasta is superb, oysters are usually very fresh and great but today some were still frozen, tasty mussels, service was good today but sometimes they've a lot of confusion about your orders and keep bringing others orders to your table. Great ambiance, servers are nice and friendly. I usually have a good time here but today the duck leg I ordered was absolutely terrible. It really dampened my mood. It cost $31 and tasted rubbish, felt like left over meat that was heated and served, so don't ever order duck leg from this place, you've been warned! oh, also the beef filet mignon, not their best.

Food in Figaro is great, but they ruined our Valentines day. We reserved a table, came to eat our favorite food from the menu, but instead of normal menu they gave us a paper with 15 dishes that cost more than they usually cost during the happy hours and they said that regular menu is not working today….it wasn’t really great, because i came to eat at least onion soup, but they didn’t had even that on the valentines day menu, that was a huge disappointment for us so we left and spent another hour searching another available place for today. My suggestion, at least if you’re making changes like that during the holidays, when the customer is calling to reserve a table, you can tell them about this changes in the menu, so they won’t spend their time if it is not suitable for them.

Delicious food....great service

Love this place. Great food great ambience couldn't ask for more

The food was excellent. Fresh and delicious. The place was soooo busy we did not get our change before leaving.

Authentic French Bistro Café LA Style 😎. It had a Happy Vibe. 1st time there so I was overwhelmed with the broad spectrum of amazing options on menu so I did the burger bc while I'm not the best critic of Frenchie food I do know my burgers! 5/5 so my confidence has been won. Service was a good energy (seemed happy to be there). Place was busy ill go back again next week & update.

Figaro Bistrot in Downtown Los Angeles is a hidden gem for food enthusiasts. The burger and steak offerings are nothing short of amazing – juicy, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The attention to detail in each bite is a testament to the culinary excellence here. The charming ambiance adds to the overall dining experience, making Figaro Bistrot a standout spot for those seeking delicious, well-crafted meals in the heart of LA. Highly recommend for burger and steak aficionados! To write in English, you can use the English alphabet. And a great selection of beers.

Haven’t gone yet but I’m certainly intrigued by their menu photography and menu pricing. I can tell you that it’s a good vibe and sunny Saturday mornings. Shalom.

Best French breakfast is the city

It's been a favorite for years. Never fails to impress. I had the goat cheese salad with grilled salmon, and amazing glass of spirit and the fries (to die for) All of it with tex, etc. was under 50 bucks. Yay! Erik waited in us and he was superb. Just go and enjoy this Parisian eatery with also an amazing selection of boloungerie. Don't forget to stop by City Lights book only a few store-fronts north of Figaro! Enjoy these essentially European experiences on a leisure afternoon in Los Feliz Village. You'll LOVE it!

Just had some wine in a very quaint comfortable atmosphere! Waitress was adorable with a tremendous personality.

Food and atmosphere were great!

Figaro Bistrot was nostalgic of my time in France. I am near fluent in French and I spent about half a year living in Strasbourg, France. The outdoor seating down to the types of chairs and tables was exactly the kind that I used to take my lunch coffees at and walk by down the streets everyday. Even the menu that they handed me was formatted exactly as the cafés in Strasbourg and in Paris. Come here, grab a croissant and a coffee for breakfast, take your time, and watch the people whose lives pass by as you take a moment to feel human. That is the beauty of french culture and that is what you will experience at Figaro Bistrot if you allow yourself to be free from the stress of life. The indoor is just as French as the warm and artsy interior reminded me of some of the bouillons I dined at in Paris. The one critique I have is that the indoor chairs were a little bit uncomfortable to dine in. They're lovely for some drinks and entrées, but difficult to eat a big meal in. As for the food, I visited Figaro Bistrot on Christmas Day which featured a special holiday menu. We ordered steak tartare, salad niçoise, lamb chops, branzino, and beef Wellington. The portions were very generous for each dish but I have to say that the main dishes seriously impressed. Never have I had lamb chops so tender and with such depth of flavor. The branzino was so fresh and I loved the red wine sauce on the beef Wellington. If you are a REAL foodie and I mean someone who truly values the experience of having a meal and not just posting Instagram worthy food, give Figaro Bistrot a visit.

So disappointed in this popular venue! Do not order any salad with the general salad mix. There will be rotted red lettuce to disgust you upon close examination. I don’t know why restaurants use this type of salad mix in which the red lettuce has a vanishingly short shelf life. When I pointed out the disgusting blackened goo laced throughout my salad, no accommodation was afforded beyond a muted apology and an “eat it or leave” look.

Great brunch spot ordered the shakshuka, French toast baguette and the Merguez sandwich which were great. The staff and service were great and helpful.

OK, posing as a French bistro...the quiche was weak. Location is primo.

The food was absolutely delicious! This may have quickly become a favorite restaurant. The dessert options are amazing! The atmosphere and decor was definitely wonderful. A great place to eat alone or with others. It was a rainy day so we sat inside but there is outdoor seating as well.

A great restaurant with a large menu with something for just about everyone! Outdoor dining for that authentic French cuisine experience is a must! Great food, great staff!

Amazing place with delicious food

There is one waiter who is just awful. You can tell because people don't want to sit in his section. Other than that... good spot.

The food is good. But the service is bad. 21st century in the restaurant can not make separate checks. All dishes were brought at the same time, while I ate carpaccio my soup got cold. The second round of drinks we waited more than 15 minutes.

What an atmospheric gem. Great happy hour. Tasty menu. Good service.

$7.60 for a croissant. Have you guys lost your mind? Absolutely not.

I was very impressed by our impromptu 9 am, Friday morning brunch. Partly, this could be because I am visiting from an area that is not known for high quality cuisine, but this was still one of the best meals I’ve had within my past visits. I will definitely visit again!

This place isn’t the typical French bistrot anymore. No more the vibes, no more the feeling of being there, more local dish and pastries and less and less French delicacy. Who goes there to get a pecan-pumpkin pie or a pain au chocolat labeled chocolate croissant like in any places you can find in LA? There’s less and less French staff. This place sold its soul and vibes. That is sad

Such a smart "on top of it all" staff and wonderful food!

We sat inside and it had a very SF feel to me. I do have a pet peev about being seated close to other people when there was another area open. Also there was a restaurant business meeting going on next to us. Too close. My mother's hamburger was great. She shared it with me after she completely loved her French onion soup. I ordered the steak tartar. It was just ok. I didn't eat it because the crostinis were hard. Our French fries were over done and filled the plate. Tasted like precooked and dropped again. Disappointing. The menu is nice. Perhaps next time I'll try the quiche or crab cakes.

Amazing European restaurant/ cafe. A real one. Not "paris wanna be" style. Food was good, drinks good, they have Belgian beer which is really nice. Friendly and nice staff.

Cute little place to get your Sunday breakfast. I tried the omelette with salmon and tarragon. The portion is big enough to fill you up, because it comes with potatoes and salad. The vibes inside are great. I would’ve eaten outside if it wasn’t windy. I side it was fun too they have great production design and decor items that put you in a relaxed mood.

Amazing french cafè in LA! Real atmosphere, very well made cocktails and legit french food!

The food was OK, ot was pricey for what it was, wouldn’t return here.

Only the best French onion soup in LA! So much good stuff and great location! Always great service and friendly customers!

Buen servicio y ambiente agradable deliciosos postres

Lovely bistro, delicious beet salad and cocktails. Comfortable sitting, lots of character. Top service!

It is that kind of magic place!

An LA classic that rarely disappoints.. brings back memories from Parisien cafés.

A piece of France in. L.A. ! So nice ! Just amazing !!!!

Simply when restaurant group bought it ,everything changed. I used to go 2 or 3x a week

Figaro is a classically styled French restaurant with the corresponding food that you would expect. Cooked to a high standard and served by very knowledgeable and efficient staff ( Marianne) who helped with suggestions for suitable wine with each course. Making the whole dining experience more enjoyable. I would highly recommend dining at 'Figaro '.

I had the most delightful experience at Figaro Bistro in Los Feliz. The ambiance is simply amazing, transporting me to the charming streets of Paris and Italy. The vintage bar added a touch of nostalgia that I absolutely loved. I decided to try the Steak Salad, and it was a flavor-packed delight. The meat was impeccably seasoned, showcasing the chef's skillful touch. Our server was truly exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. She shared that her journey from West Covina was worthwhile to witness happy customers, and her dedication truly showed in her service. To top off our brunch, my Mom and I savored a Croissant that was nothing short of perfection. Soft and irresistibly delicious, it was a fitting end to a wonderful meal. Figaro Bistro has won my heart with its incredible ambiance, delectable dishes, and outstanding service. A must-visit for anyone seeking a Parisian-Italian escape right in Los Feliz!

Lovely place and lovely staff but got food poisoning from the mussels… we were a bit disappointed when they arrived as they were dry and small. Then ended up with a very bad stomach bug for the next few hours

My cousins and I had our meal there yesterday which was Wednesday and it was packed. Other than that the food and iced Cappuccino was good!😊

i had french toast and a coffee and it was super delicious, but after i finished eating and they took my plate, nobody came to the table to give me my check for like 30 minutes. i got up and asked if i should pay up front, but was told they would bring my check-- ten minutes later, i had to flag somebody down to finally get the bill and pay so i could leave. normally, i don't mind slow service during a rush, but the restaurant wasn't busy at all, so i was a little annoyed about being ignored/forgotten about.

Abe be charging $2 for oat milk out here and now I have to decide between paying my mortgage or getting my morning coffee

Hard to get a table and hard to track down your waiter. But honestly worth it for the people watching on the street there.
