Petit Trois

Top choice in Hollywood

LoginSave

Good things come in small packages…like tiny, no-reservations Petit Trois! Owned by acclaimed TV chef Ludovic Lefebvre, its two long counters (the place is too small for tables) are where food-lovers squeeze in for smashing, honest, Gallic-inspired grub, from a ridiculously light Boursin-stuffed omelette to a showstopping 'Big Mec' double cheeseburger served with a standout foie gras–infused red-wine Bordelaise.

Given its size, popularity and no-reservations policy, waits can be long. Your best bet is to head in between 3pm and 6pm or after 9pm. If you do have to wait, affable staff and top-notch cocktails ease the pain.

Credit-card payment only.
