Best French Restaurants in Bel-Air

It was a wonderful experience from the food to ambience and service. Although the server mentioned when we asked him if the Arnold Palmer is refillable, he said yes but turned out not to be the case! Additionally, the interaction felt a little bit dry, lacking the warmth and friendliness that I would expect! But it did not ruin the experience, just a room for improvement.

We go here for my wife's birthday which is on Christmas Eve. Not many places are open then and we really like the food and hospitality of AOC. Even though they don't take requests, they had a nice table for us indoors. It made it extra special to have carolers as well.

Outstanding meal. Great attentive service. Excellent food from the French Onion Soup and Hamachi Crudo appetizers to classic entrees Trout Almondine, Mussels Mariniere in a sublime white wine sauce with shallots and Creme Fraiche, and Filet au Poivre with a delicious cognac black pepper sauce. Belgian Endive Salad also very solid while the Bartender was on his game. All around great French Bistro vibe. And Chocolate Souffle to cap it off. A winner!

Its a great place to spend a couple of hours and have a cheese plate.......however, despite having an encyclopaedic wine list - which is reasonably priced - the first 3 choices were not available and they were all Californian!! Disappointed. There must be much better wine bars available nearby.

Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the octopus and the caviar. While the octopus was decent, it was slightly overcooked and just okay. In our opinion, the Little Door Caviar was the standout starter—its flavor was far superior. For mains, the Branzino was perfection—crispy and flaky on the outside, tender and soft on the inside. The ribeye was equally fantastic, cooked beautifully and packed with flavor. We finished the meal with the crème brûlée, which was the perfect dessert—smooth, creamy, and with a perfectly caramelized top. The service was impeccable, making the evening truly special. We celebrated my friend’s birthday, and it was a memorable experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!
