About this restaurant

  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
L'APPART by AIR FOOD is above all two passionate visionaries, Marc and Thierry. They have come from two completely different paths.
One was a contractor in logistics the other a chef in London and Paris.
What they both have in common besides the love of good food is the love of street culture. Years ago they met in Paris during a regular sale of shoes at the Place de la République…
From this meeting, the pair launched into a collaboration of sharing their passion for food. They started with pop-up restaurants with the aim of offering gastronomic street food to all, from a range of mixed recipes from different cultures and from gastronomic food to street food. Then, they had a brainwave…. Resulting in to transforming their Pop-ups into a real restaurant in downtown LA. From PARIS to LA come and travel with us.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
L'APPART is a cozy, informal French gem offering "fantastic" food and "thoughtful" service. Guests rave about the "amazing" pistachio crème brûlée and accommodating gluten-free options. The restaurant's charming vintage DTLA arcade setting enhances the dining experience, complemented by live music. Service speed could improve, but overall, it's "recommended!"

    This is a hidden French gem. The food is fantastic!! We had the cheese plate appetizer, which had elegant French cheeses and fabulous crusty bread, and the duck confit entree, which was cooked to perfection and flavorful. The pistachio creme brûlée had a perfect crunch and was actually light in the best possible way. We had the cabernet for our wine and it was very, very good. Best of all, it was cozy inside and not horribly loud like many other modern restaurants. We could actually hear each other without shouting above the din. They should consider adding to the wait staff to speed up service, however.

    We really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant. It does feel very French the way it is set up, informal, and cozy. The food was quite good. The menu is not extensive, but what is on the menu is outstanding, and you will find many standard French dishes here. Recommended!

    My husband and I came here to celebrate the anniversary and it was delightful. He is gluten free and they were super accommodating and everything was delicious. We will definitely be back for the truffle pizza and pistachio creme brulee.

    We loved everything about L’APPART! Their food was amazing; the waitress was very friendly; the live music there brought us back to France. L’APPART made our night very special.

    So for starters It was my girlfriend’s birthday. I’m not from here so every restaurant is like a review to me. I enjoyed the location of the restaurant, ducked off kinda a hole in the wall type location. Good food tho nonetheless the duck was underwhelming, in my opinion. Lamb fries were great. Labneh was very good, she had a vodka cocktail, she enjoyed it. It seem they only had one waiter but she did her thing they need to get her some help but she was killing it. Also a live show is there I think so if that’s your thing I recommend you try it out. Overall 7/10.

    Good for the most part was good. Just that the potatoes were salty. The service was attentive which was great. I would recommend sitting closer to the AC vents since the place can get hot especially during the summer heatwave. The prices are reasonable for French cuisine. Public parking can be sketchy since it’s near homeless people that lounge around the area so I woken recommend doing valet parking close by which was $10.

    L'Appart is delightful, classic French bistro. The food is terrific and the service is thoughtful. Also, the restaurant's interior is quite attractive, and its location in a vintage DTLA arcade adds to the charm.

    My wife and I have been wanting to try L’Appart for a while now, and our dinner last night completely exceeded our expectations. We originally went in hoping to try their $49 tasting menu, only to find out it’s strictly a weekend offering. When we mentioned it, our wonderful server actually went and asked the Chef—and they graciously made an exception for us! That level of genuine hospitality sets the tone for the whole place. The food itself was incredible: authentic, rustic, and deeply flavorful with an almost homemade warmth to it, yet served with gorgeous presentation. Our server was fantastic all evening—warm, attentive, and happy to answer our questions about the menu. Such a gem in our city. We will definitely be returning!
