The little sister of the Little Door, one of L.A.'s most beloved restaurants, this idyllic Parisian patio cafe and haute gourmet market is where the city's eclectic crowd heads for breakfast, lunch and takeout. Inside the bustling cafe's azure walls, a gleaming case displays a dazzling cornucopia of pastries, artisanal desserts and a wall loaded with bottles of wine. The intimate sidewalk patio exudes rustic charm with lots of greenery, wrought iron tables and shady umbrellas. Seasonal, organic farmers' market ingredients comprise the long list of sandwiches, salads, breads and pastries,…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- Get there early for lunch--peak hours can be crowded, and there are only 10 first-come, first-served tables.
- What to Drink:
- The two-story wine selection is first-rate. The cafe serves 3-ounce pours of specially selected reds and whites, and the beer case offers hard-to-find labels from around the world.
- The Extras:
- Seasonal catering specials like "wild harvest at your home" includes choices such as rabbit terrine, beef Wellington, roasted guinea hen and pomegranate pecan stuffing.

like a street cafe in paris
by laurie87 at Citysearch
this streetside cafe is great to feel like you're in Paris
the details are incredible including the beautiful front doors
service is friendly though a bit spotty
everything i've tasted here is great quality
go early on a weekend and eat something before since portions are very small
- Pros: cute patio, great food
- Cons: long wait sometimes, portions are tiny

france's gift to LA
by IlariaK at Citysearch
i love this place!! it gives you a chance to relax and enjoy great food and wine. we started with fois grass which the waiter recommended and he couldn't have been more right!!! so needless to say we left it up to him to suggest the rest!! he followed with escargot ...they were delicious!!! the smell of garlic and herbs served in these cute plates was superb and went very well with my glass of french chardonnay. since we were there at 4pm we took full advantage of wine and dine special with help from the most attentive waiter who recommended gnocchi with truffle. the dish was perfection!!! the delicate texture of gnocchi and creaminess of the sauce toped with black truffle made the perfect transition to something light...in this case our knowledgble waiter recomended the endive salad with blue cheese and walnuts.
it was a rich and decadent meal but that was exactly why we were there for. the way the flavors complimented each other was absolutely merit of the waiter who obviously knew what he was talking about. he was french but it takes more than that to know food. i have to give him alone 5 stars!!! his name is Stephan....ask for him next time you go there. i sure will:)
- Pros: great food and amazing service
- Cons: none
Best Nicoise Salad
by theminty at Citysearch
Can't or won't go to Little Door? Try Little Next Door. I've been in several times but the last time, I had the French classic Nicoise Salad and it was absolutely wonderful. Fresh lettuce, perfectly seared tuna, crisp beans. The only weird thing were the potatoes because they looked like mango wedges. I kept expecting to eat mango (hello, it's Nicoise!) but now I'm wondering if that could be a California take on the classic. Otherwise, it's a wonderful salad.
- Pros: Nicoise salad
- Cons: can be very busy
