A Food Affair

Jenna Park

We enjoyed our dinner here. We thought that it might be a small place but the restaurant has a lot of space outdoors and indoors. People are super nice, food is absolutely amazing and all the recommendations and special menus are delicious. We adore that it is the place where standing out amongst some franchise vibes restaurants.

Made a reservation and dined here with friends and family, and my go-to spot did not disappoint! Though unassuming from the outside, the ambiance inside is perfect, and the food is as authentic as it gets. My friends raved about the wine selection too—a truly memorable dining experience! Appetizers: Mushroom Tourte: A rich, flavorful mushroom starter. Roasted Bone Marrow: Classic and deeply seasoned, this is a must-try for marrow lovers. Escargot: Snails paired with a robust, creamy sauce—absolutely sets the mood for a hearty French meal! Country Plate: A unique mix of vegetables with two dips; one of the sauces was a bit too tangy for my taste, but it still added an interesting twist. Main Courses: Branzino: Flown in from Europe, this seabass has a beautiful roasted flavor. The lemon and sauce blend perfectly, and while the fish has a few bones, its crisp skin and tender meat are worth it! Scottish Salmon & Crispy Calamari: The salmon’s crispy exterior and tender inside, combined with the flavorful accompaniments, make it outstanding. Mary’s Farm Duck Leg Confit: This duck is a crowd-pleaser every time—perfectly cooked with deep, savory flavors. A staple for our table! Brussels Sprouts: One friend ordered it for some extra greens, and it was decent, but ordering sprouts at a place like this feels like missing out on the star dishes. Desserts: Tahitian Vanilla Creme Brulee: Their classic dessert! The strawberry, caramelized sugar layer, and custard combo never disappoints. Seasonal Carrot Cheesecake: A delightful seasonal offering that’s a fun twist for those who want to sample something new. Wines: My friends chose two wines, a Tempranillo and Omen Cab—both were reportedly fantastic! We were lucky to meet the chef and owner, who shared his vision of bringing authentic French family cuisine to the U.S. It’s a joy to see someone so passionate, though getting a photo was tricky since he’s so hands-on in the kitchen. Located in a quieter part of LA, A Food Affair has that true “hidden gem” charm. Parking is easy with a small lot in the back, usually with enough space. This is hands-down the best French spot in LA for me. The prices are very reasonable, and I can’t recommend it enough!

An amazing place. The food is outstanding, and the owners are super sweet and welcoming. The vibe is super chill and inviting. I can't recommend this place enough. Appetizers, main dishes, drinks, and desserts are extraordinary. I bought an entire Meyer Lemon pie for Thanksgiving so we could share my favorite dessert with our family.

Came here yesterday for Dine LA and everything was phenomenal! Owners, Babette & Christian, were extremely warm and attentive. Service was top notch, THE FOOD! I had been craving French food and this more than hit the spot. We started with the fois gras followed by bone marrow and escargot, entrees were Beef Bourginion and Lam Shanks; dessert was an amazing lemon cake and crème brûlée. We can’t wait to go back for the bouillabaisse and many other amazing things on the menu.

The best french cuisine I've ever had. The dining experience was great! The sauce of every dish worked so well. I suggest the escargot, duck confit, beef bourguignon and creme brulee（literally everything I had）. The truffle oil fries were mind blowing, try it for an awesome surprise and twist! This is a place I would definitely come back!
