East Hollywood, Los Angeles · restaurant
A tiny, twinkle-lit French wine bar in East Hollywood that feels like it was plucked off a side street in Paris and dropped between a taquería and a tattoo shop. The chalkboard leans Rhône-heavy, the tables are close enough to catch a stranger’s breakup if you’re nosy, and the whole room glows in that flattering, butter-yellow candlelight. It’s romantic but unfussy. Split a bottle, mop up something saucy with bread, and let Melrose traffic hum faintly in the background like white noise.
Tangy tartare on Bub & Grandma's bread with crunchy shallots.
Medium-rare steak with herb butter and shoestring fries. Feeds two for $44.
Savory custard tart with chive gelee. Like a cheese-and-crackers plate reimagined.
