French Quarter Restaurant

So sad why why why did they close? This was my favorite breakfast spot in Los angeles. There food was amazing and always great service. Can someone please tell me why they closed?

Closed for good. According to West Holllywood Patch, will be a Non-​Profit for 20 months, then razed for redevelopment. Sad. This was a fun gathering place for such a long time.

A very sad farewell to a place that had a special place in my heart. This was the first place I ever went in WeHo 18 years ago. Had the pleasure of renting office space in there, and getting to know all of the amazing restaurant employees (most of whom had been there 15+ years). You will all be missed.
The owners sold the building. I imagine the new owner will tear it down and build. So sad.

Rest in Peace,
We have been coming to The French Quarter for 2 years. It has become a weekend tradition for us. We always sit at the counter and Javier gives the best service. It was sad to hear that it will be shutting down tomorrow.
Our continued patronage to The French Quarter has continued because of its signature style, amazing service and great value.
Javier has especially been a service staple and a signature part of our dining experience where ever he may be employed next would be happy to have him or any of the breakfast day crew.
Much love to The French Quarter and their staff.

A sad day for me here at the French Quarter Restaurant. At the end of this week they close, realistically for good. The first time I had lunch in West Hollywood it was at this location way back in the (late) 80s.
Always a little Campy, the atmosphere was always fun. The food was always… OK but it didn’t matter because the place just had a really great feel. I will be sad to see it go.

I came in here because I wanted to check it out. I came with a friend. It looks as if Disneyland plus a circus/​carnival had a baby. It definitely felt old and outdated for the area. I did not like my food at all. My friend kinda enjoyed her food. The server was really nice. I wont be coming back, but im glad some parts are getting remodeled.

A reliable place for good diner-​type fare. My hubby and I love this place… Especially because they stay open until the wee hours. The décor is high kitsch and the staff are all very nice and professional. Standouts are the blackened salmon sandwich and the charbroiled steak (that’s hubby); I have the walnut apple salad and veggie burgers are awesome. The building is under renovation but so far they haven’t been forced to close, though I’m told they will definitely reopen after renovations. I hope they don’t disappear!

I am SOOOO sad they are closing this restaurant !!!
GREAT staff
GREAT prices
FREE parking
AWESOME outdoor seating
I am going to miss this place… A LOT !!!

Food was alright, and the service was terrible. Honestly, not sure whether I’ll be returning.

This is the BEST restaurant and brunch spot in LA. The Only place you can sit on Santa Monica Blvd and have brunch that is delicious and reasonably priced and comfortable. The Food is AMAZING. This place is Truly the «Cheers» of Weho — Where Everybody knows your name and they’re always glad you came. Most of the waiters have been working there for 20+ years and its like a little family. If the rumors are true and this place gets shut down it will be a TRAVESTY and absolutely unforgivable. I pray that this gem shines on and on so I can spend as many Sundays as possible sipping on the BEST Mimosas and eating the BEST brunches in this City. I LOVE YOU FRENCH QUARTER!!! PLEASE DONT EVER LEAVE ME!!! :(

I came to eat brunch here with a buddy who was visiting from out of town. Long ago, I came here on a date with my then-​girlfriend and remember liking the food. So I took my buddy here, and I’m glad I did.
To start off, the place is decorated like a small shopping center, with plenty of seating for patrons of the restaurant located on the first floor. My buddy and I sat in the bar area. I ordered the bodybuilder’s breakfast: grilled chicken breast, egg whites, brown rice, and wheat bread. My buddy ordered French onion soup, with a side of biscuits and gravy. I can say that both entrees where delicious. Even the toast, which was not buttered, was very tasty.
The customer service was phenomenal, and Freddy (our server) was very attentive to our needs. The patrons here are mostly West Hollywood locals, and they seemed like an ok bunch. My buddy and I came here late morning, and there were maybe 8 patrons total in the establishment. I do not remember how crowded it gets in the evening, but I will report back with that info in a future review. Stay tuned.

Interesting setup, you’re inside but it’s designed to look like you’re outside. It even looks like there were a handful of little shops in here along the walls but most are closed now.
Decent Mediterranean Greek Salad, not as good as your standard Greek Salad. Greens were a little soggy and olives a bit strong. Save yourself the few bucks and don’t bother adding chicken; the chicken is bland and is more the sort of chicken you hide in a cold sandwich.
My partner had the NY Scramble which looked much tastier than what I had. Eggs scrambled with salmon, red onions, scallions and sour cream.
I’d try this place again but I heard it will be closed soon.

eyos meeos! What has happened to this little former gem? It’s still a cute little place, but the stores are mostly gone, and the food has become… well I’ll just use a word my Hispanic friend told me once… caca!

I’ve been going the French Quarter Restaurant for the past 15 years and the quality of the food has gone down — way down — while the prices have continued to rise. My last few visits have been less than impressive.
This past week I ordered the Prime rib medium-​well and had to send it back to the kitchen and they still got it wrong. I’m not sure if the restaurant is under new management but if it is, they’re doing a rather poor job.
Until they do something about the quality, my current advice is to look for other dining options in the area.

Jordan was a great server and the shrimp quesadilla and generous glass of wine come without complaint! Outside style seating is similar to say the restaurants in the New York New York casino in Las Vegas. Not as intimate or fancy as the website portrays but I still recommend!

French Market Café is indeed a popular place with decent seating and a very nice outdoor patio. However, and not one of the few, that find it to be highly over rated. As a matter of fact though the menu has some dishes with French names, I didn’t exactly find anything all that French about their food. Maybe I’m missing out on something or just plain ignorant, but I’ll be darned if I can really see anything so Frenchie about the «Chef’s Favorite» entitled «La Favorite» being prosciutto, sliced tomato and mozzarella plate with pesto sauce. To me it just seems more Italian than it does French.
I went for the Caesar salad (the original creation of one Caesar Cardini, an Italian immigrant who operated restaurants in Mexico, hence having nothing to do with France) with extra anchovy but since they didn’t have any anchovy, I had the Caesar sans anchovy. Then for my main dish a filet of sole which was actually pretty good but would have been better had it not come accompanied by a bunch of soggy, limp, greasy tasteless french fries.
Though the place is both a restaurant and a market, I’m not going to rate the market part because I didn’t make any purchases. But since it purports to be a French restaurant and I have been too much better at the same prices level, Two Stars.

Place was horrible, service was not good and the French dip had no flavor or taste what so ever. And I felt like I was eating
at Disneyland.

If you’re over 55, this is your place. We call it «Gay Coco’s». My BFF loves the Chinese chicken salad so we go once in a while… I mean the foods not bad, but it’s just not good. I remember like 10 years ago when Iived in weho, I’d walk my fat ass over there once a week to eat the broccoli cheese soup, but that’s when this place was still somewhat «cool».
Anyway, last time we were there Angelyne and her pink corvette pulled up, I guess she’s here often, I think she has a PO box at the postal service in the back, or she eats here for free… either way D list «celebrities» for a D list menu.
Make sure you go inside to get the full gay Disneyland effect, it’s like some run down New Orleans inside, minus the bourbon street smell…

I have been coming to this place for over 30 years. It has always been a nice place to eat with good food, great service, and nice atmosphere with a nice mixture of gay and straight clientele. My friend was updating me as to the new changes and change of ownership that have taken place with this place recently.
The service was always friendly and efficient and it seemed that the employees were always happy and many of them including bus boys were working there for many years. Today it seem that everybody was new, and waiters and bus boys arguing with each other. No body was happy to be working there!
The food… well I guess it is time to close this chapter! I really doubt I would come back. Food was bland, dried, and nothing like what it used to be. The quality of the food has deteriorated with the use of cheaper ingredients.
Goodbye French Quarter! To bad you are not going out with a bang, in lieu of a fizzle!

A group of Unilocalers and I were going to go see a show at DBA next door two Sunday evenings ago, so we decided to get dinner here before the show. They have their own FREE parking lot, which is such a rarity in WeHo, so that was really nice. It was pretty empty on a early Sunday evening so parking was not an issue. The restaurant was also not crowded so there was no problem getting a table for our group of seven. The interior is very cute and New Orleans-​y; there seem to be several shops inside but they were closed since it was a weekend. Our server was a guy named Joey and he was really friendly and helpful. Constantly checked up on us, always made sure I had a lot of water, had a lot of helpful suggestions, and even split the checks for everyone individually. Thank you Joey!
I had a hard time choosing what to get, so in the end I ordered something that was pretty much the best of all worlds: PETITE SOUP AND SALAD: A cup of any of our soups with a small Caesar, Chinese Chicken or Roast Chicken Cobb Salad, or vegetarian chopped. We serve all salads with a honey bran, carrot raisin, blueberry crumb, banana nut muffin or king cake.
– CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP: Topped with grated Monterey Jack, fresh cilantro and crispy tortilla strips
This came out first and was warm and good. Loved the tortilla strips and the cheesiness of the soup. Good rich flavour.
– ROAST CHICKEN COBB SALAD: Diced chicken breast, smoked bacon, avocado, green onions, vine ripe tomato, crumbled bleu cheese and chopped lettuce with choice of dressing (I chose Peppercorn Ranch)
I’m not a fan of bleu cheese, so thank goodness there wasn’t too much in this salad. Came in a glass bowl that I think I have at home and looks very simple and plain, but was still very filling, especially since I had already finished my soup. It was not very flavourful, perhaps I should have gone with a different dressing, so I was really glad I had my muffin to eat with it.
– BLUEBERRY CRUMB MUFFIN
I feel like this place is famous for their muffins. Most Unilocalers seem to get the honey bran, but I absolutely love blueberry crumb muffins so of course I had to order that. And the muffin top on these muffins are huge! I also love that they give it to you with a side of whipped butter. Makes an already delicious dessert even better! Just can’t go wrong with the muffins here.
The food here isn’t amazing, but the location/​parking is very convenient and the service is great (at least if you get Joey as your server). And the food isn’t bad… especially if you’re getting a wonderful muffin with it. Very solid 3 – 3.5 stars.
