Sunset Strip bistro serves up palatable appetizers, award winning food, desserts and cocktails 7 days a week.

Editor's Tips

Know Before You Go:
The cafe's namesake is a French pastry of custard and cherries--but it's not on the menu. Instead, try one of the onsite bakery's mixed-fruit tarts, mousses or cakes, made fresh every morning.
Parking:
Free lot parking is available behind Le Clafoutis.

Great place for lunch

by VL57

Great place for lunch with fresh delicious sandwiches, salads and french food. Nice sized portions and for a really reasonable price!

I also really like the outdoor patio, great spot on the sunset strip to enjoy lunch, perfect for people watching and for the view of the Hollywood hills.

For dessert try a slice of "La Tropezienne" cake; it is to die for!

Great and fast service which is important if you go there on a lunch break.

A Jewel on the Sunset Strip

by GeraldDouglas

This is a great location not only for its wide array of high quality food and drink but for taking in the sights and sounds of Hollywood. You get a great mix of celebrities.

The wait staff is patient and knowledgeable and efficient. The specials change daily and offer something for everyone. I suggest getting here for lunch to really take advantage of the great LA weather and also to face the street so you can appreciate the madness of Hollywood's finest stroll, make deals, and see and be seen.

Great location, friendly atmosphere, good food and service

by ManuH

I was walking down Sunset Blvd with my wife, looking for good food at a reasonnable price.

Being french I was skeptical about finding such a place in this touristic area. But I was wrong !

We stop at "Le Clafoutis" and we got good fresh food, excellent service and we enjoyed a really friendly atmosphere. The menu has a large selection for everyone, it's not the "high-end Gourmet" type.

Nicolas the waiter was caring a lot about his guests, the service was fast, the Onglet steack and the fish were very yummy. Pastries and bread were nice too, but I don't understand why they have no "Clafoutis" on the list ?!?

Definitely love this place !!!
