Diners can enjoy some of the most authentic French food in the valley when they visit Le Petit Restaurant. With the air of a bistro that has come straight from a Paris street, Le Petit serves French fare and adds its own California twist. The look and feel make it a great date spot that is conveniently open for late night dining. The interior is masked in an Art Deco decor, framed by high ceilings and filled with candle-lit and linen-covered tables, framed art adorning the colorful walls, white curved booths, and hardwood floors. The menu runs through a range of creative dishes, like the blackened salmon, grilled entrecote (rib-eye steak), escargot, herb-roasted chicken, and more, including daily specials. On Monday and Tuesday nights Le Petit offers a special 1.5 pound live Maine lobster, with soup or salad for $49.95. A notable wine list and full bar give diners ample drink choices. Le Petit Restaurant is available for private parties

Le Petit Restaurant is one of our "go to" restaurants when we go out with another couple and we want everything to go right. We were there over 2.5 hours, but not because of slow service. It was a combination of good company, comfortable ambiance and a server who could see that the flow of food should be just as relaxed.

Three of us dined and had a lovely evening. Nice atmosphere. It's not a large space, but we had a nice sense of privacy and intimacy. While it was busy. there was a peaceful feel to the evening. It never felt rushed or hectic. And we could hear one another well enough to really enjoy our conversation. The wine list is impressive. We had cocktails and wines by the glass and cocktails, which were all first-rate. Service was excellent. Friendly and authentic. Our server had great knowledge of the menu and the wines, and was able to make suggestions. The French onion soup, crab cakes, and lobster bisque were wonderful. The paella was very good, but not a traditional paella with that wonderful crunchy rice texture. It seemed to have dairy in it - so it was a French take on a a Spanish dish, and the flavors and textures were great. I would order it again, but it's not a traditional paella. Dessert was not so great. The chocolate soufflé was only adequate, and I believe the bread pudding was microwaved to heat it up, so what you get is a gummy texture... And the hazelnut, pecan, and bourbon tart was dry and not that flavorful. So, three out of three were "meh." Coffees were very good and we picked at the desserts without enthusiasm as we chatted and enjoyed the coffee. Overall, four stars - one of which can be attributed solely to the service. If dessert had been good, this would be five stars, for sure. The menu is extensive, so I'm looking forward to going back and trying something different. They have valet parking and enclosed front-patio dining, as well as indoor dining.

After many visits, I can attest to their consistent excellence in food and service. It is a classic bistro menu featuring a nice variety of dishes, with some particular favorites that they do particularly well; things not easily found in LA, including: Mussels, Crispy Duck and perfect souffles. The staff are always welcoming and attentive and we look forward to dining there regularly, again, as we did pre-pandemic.

The food was decent enough, I'd give it maybe 7 or 8 out of 10. But at the end, when the bill came, we noticed that EVERY SINGLE ITEM WAS MARKED UP $3-$10 HIGHER than the prices on the menu! So we were charged $39 for our $32 scallops and $50 for our $45 steak etc...Thankfully my eagle-eyed dad caught it! When we notified the server, she was apologetic but her explanation was sketchy at best. She said they marked everything up for Mother's Day in their system and "forgot" to fix everything afterward. Mind you we were having dinner the Friday after Mother's Day, so this was a full 5 days later. So everyone else who ate there during that 5-day window paid inflated prices, unless we were the first to notice? I guess we'll never know the truth. In the end, we saved about $35, but the price gouging was a big turn off, especially in today's inflation economy. I wouldn't come back or recommend this restaurant based on this experience.

Disappointed in the Mother's Day experience. Have been coming here for years and this was a holiday cash n grab with limited menu and prices jacked up. Steak was cooked properly but luke warm and server offered nothing to compensate for it. Best to go here on a non special occasion day.

The reviews all made the place seem delicious but my snails were not flavorful but slightly chewy. The serving of the food and presentation was so sloppy I couldn’t take pictures. Also, my party’s food was not cooked to their liking, they asked for medium steaks and got medium well and my other attendee got the pasta which was stiff because it was cold and had very little sauce on it. My “crispy” duck was so soft and drenched in orange sauce it made me sick. I took four bites to give it a chance and didn’t even finish or take my food home. It was my birthday dinner, I specified that when I made the reservation and while there it was lower grade service with indirect eye contact and long waits between waiter visits like they didn’t want to come to our table. This was a waste of a birthday dinner in LA and a huge disappointment.

A lovely restaurant. Food was delicious. We had Lobster crepes and Rib Eye steak. Both were incredible! For appetizers we had the crab cakes and the shrimp. Very yummy. And of course, the cocktails were perfect. Service was great. And the desserts were amazing. We had the Apple Torte and they gave me Tiramisu for my birthday. Such a great start to my pre-birthday weekend! Thank you Le Petit!

We asked for medium made steak, but we received one that was over cooked and dry. Also, we ordered what the menu called “crispy duck.” It was over cooked and not crispy. We weren’t asked how our meal was after we had received it, so we just ate it. The environment is a mix of families and friends.

Very quaint and well-appointed restaurant. Excellent service. We had the Pumpkin Ravioli (delicious) and Blackened Ora Salmon (the blackened seasoning was crusted and wasn't that spicy). We had Sculpterra wine from the menu. I've never seen that on a menu, but it's a great selection.

Visiting after many years - and happy we did! I hadn't had a vermouth cassis in years (as nobody seems to know what it is) and the one I had there was delicious. Our waiter was very friendly and highly informative. We were very happy with our choices (with guidance from him). I had delicious, creamy paella with lots of seafood (squid, shrimp, mussels and clams). (I wasn't expecting the creaminess.) My husband had an excellent steak au poivre with plenty of delicious pommes frites. They made a mistake overcooking his filet, but immediately fixed it and then delivered a beautiful, rare steak. We shared a huge crepe suzette for dessert - not a great crepe (we didn't follow our waiter's suggestion to get the apple tarte - our mistake - but the ice cream was really yummy and the flavor was good although the crepes seemed a little doughy). My husband loved his onion soup appetizer - said it was the best he'd ever had. I enjoyed my simple mixed green salad, that had a delicious vinaigrette that tasted homemade. We liked the Toulouse Lautrec and other French posters on the wall. We will definitely return.

If you like the kind of ambience that used to exist on New York's Upper West Side in the 1970s and 1980s, along with outstanding food, this is a gem of a restaurant right on Ventura Boulevard.
