We are a classic French bistro emphasizing balance, texture, nuance, and seasonality. Although we take our cooking and wine program seriously, we're a fun, casual, everyday eatery.

Just amazing. A TOP FIVE restaurant in Los Angeles. Hard not to say TOP TWO. Incredible value as well. We go about every two to three weeks either way, but we rush over every time the menu changes. And, people, the bread is served perfectly fresh and warm with salted butter. The marrow!!!! Ok, that's enough - don't want it to get too crowded ;)
Why is this the hidden gem of the century?! Papilles blew my mind- as well as the 3 others I was with. Not a single dish sparked negative critique. Neither of us could keep hands off each others plates and the courses they offer make complete sense. Was pleasantly surprised with food, service, and atmosphere being absolutely perfect.
I've been here 4 times now in about 3 months. Ive had a great experience every time. The menu changes slightly every time, which is why I keep going back. They sell wine, or $20 corkage fee. The servers on great, and buss boy is on it. It's quaint, a perfect for conversation, wine, and just a good meal.
Best meal I have had since moving to LA three years ago, hands down. I've been to all the new trendy restaurants, which are delicious, but Papilles does the basics perfectly without hiding behind excess spice or technique. Sole, salad, chocolate cake--they served the Platonic ideal of each on a plate. Please go.
My wife and I stopped here before a play at the Pantages Theatre. It's in a strip mall but don't let that hurt your opinion. What a great meal we both had. She had fish and I had steak and pork rillons which were amazing. We will defiantly go back when heading to the Pantages Don't miss out!
