Their on site pastry chief made two beautiful cakes. ”

Nice nice nice croissants (although a little too buttery for me), especially the pain au chocolate. ”

$100 for two horrible main dishes (pork loin and chicken, both of which had absolutely no taste and were seriously undercooked), two beers, and a side of broccoli (which was actually good). ”
- “
My recommendation would be to come for coffee and a pastry or drinks and dessert - enjoy the space without falling victim to the scammingly high prices. ”

celestial bottle of light yet complex and a little spicy red wine recommended by the friendly waiter (his name is Gils). ”

It has a really cool bar on the inside. ”

The bar is beautiful, and made of zinc. ”

But this place is so beautiful a part from the bar they have this candle lit dining room Ahhh? ”
- “
Two glasses of wine, then coffee and desserts: delicious chocolate souffle and chausson aux pommes. ”
- “
She insinuated that the wine was not very good and not worth ordering because it was the cheapest wine they had by the glass, so, regardless of her taking her gum out, it would be hard to tell if the wine was drinkable or not. ”
- “
The portions are large, the wine menu extensive. ”
- “
The bar is good, the pastry is excellent, the coffee can be wonderful. ”

The food was WAY OVERPRICED and BAD. ”

Very good organic food ”

My Friend ordered the salmon which was delicious but it was smothered in oil/pesto sauce even on the vegetables so that was little bit of a bummer. ”

If you ever want to treat someone to some delicious French food, take them here. ”

My husband and I have had better food at just as nice or nicer resturants for not as pricey a menu. ”

My friend had the organic salad which was fantastic and then lamb which he didn't enjoy as much. ”

My boyfriend took me here for what we hoped would be a nice meal, but instead it turned out to be a big drain on his wallet and we both would have been happier eating at home! ”

Enjoy a mimosa or two, the French toast is fabulous and so are the omelets. ”

good food, a little pricey for the area ”

Do yourself a favour -- go to Cafe Stella in Silverlake for the most amazing french food in the area. ”
- “
lot of the expensive restaurants in LA don't have the great food to back the prices, but Figaro does. ”

There really isn't better or more authentic traditional French bistro that I've found in LA. ”

If you want a good meal. ”

really felt like I was in Paris but without the cool vibe, authentic food and fashionable Parisians. ”
- “
Great food. ”
- “
do love the ambiance and food so much that I return--the location is quite convenient as well. ”

Frites are yummy too! ”

Figaro is great for brunch; they serve lovely breakfast food in a fabulous atmosphere. ”

Delicious food ruined by poor service ”

For my main course, I had a chicken dish which was very dry. ”

Furthermore, we ordered the steak tartare, which was so horrible we couldn't eat any of it, and the french fries, which were now priced at three times the price, yet came served as a tiny side. ”
- “
The lamb was also gross. ”
- “
So why the most appalling bread and the under seasoned bland food? ”
- “
Two glasses of wine, then coffee and desserts: delicious chocolate souffle and chausson aux pommes. ”

Three years ago, Figaro was by far my favorite restaurant in Los Angeles -- it was filled with artists, amazing energy, helpful staff, and delicious yet affordable food, and even had special touches like black and white films running on the walls from tim ”
