Petit Trois Le Valley, the second outpost of Chef Ludo Lefebvre's beloved bistro, opened its doors in 2018 in Sherman Oaks.

The second dining room can be reserved for larger parties and private events. Since opening, Petit Trois has garnered praise from casual foodies and revered food critics. In 2015, Petit Trois was nominated for Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation and in 2019 earned the Bib Gourmand designation upon the Michelin Guide’s return to Los Angeles. Additionally, Petit Trois was featured on the late Jonathan Gold’s 101 Best Restaurants in Los Angeles list from 2015-2017 and has remained on the list since 2019 when Bill Addison & Patricia Escárcega took over.

I love food so I don't discriminate on food. Simple dish as the Ceasar salad was fresh and delicous to a richer, decadent, Beef Bourguignon that literally melted in your mouth were all delicous. Be daring. If too cautious the staff is more than willing to help.

We went to Jemma in Hollywood after seeing a matinee show at the Pantages. We’ve never been here before and picked it as it was so close to the theater. We’ll definitely come back tho! The menu is limited but the food was very good! The broccolini with feta cheese was the star for sure-so delicious! We also got the Frankie (?) pizza and the jalapeño peppers gave it a tasty bite! The staff were all friendly and professional and even the manager who chatted with us was very personable! Couple that with the beautiful and subdued decor and you have a winning experience! We’ll be back!
