Ms.Jacqueline opened La Poubelle in 1969 based on a childhood dream of having a crèperie in America.

this place is overrated. the waiters are weird and don’t provide good service. i think they forgot about one of our entrees. we came for happy hour but everything came in random orders even the drinks. the waiters think they can get away with whatever they want cause they’re hot and have a performative rag on their shoulders. one of the waitresses like made out with her boyfriend on the floor and then he grabbed a keyboard out of the kitchen and ran out. my burger didn’t come on a plate but like a togo box. cesar salad in a broken bowl. she keeps pacing. at one point my way by frank sinatra played really loud. and then no music the rest of the night. skip it. but cute lamps.

I love French cuisine so a Bistro on Franklin Avenue with a good reputation is an easy sell to me. Tonight we dined outside and I really like being able to sit and watch all the foot and car traffic go by. It’s also right across from the Church of Scientology Celebrity Center so it adds to the only in LA experience. The menu changes often so the options will be different depending on the day. The way it works is you bring up the menu via the QR code and pay for the entire meal, including tip, upfront. Then runners bring out the food to you. This is not the location to go for white glove service, it’s a more casual setting where you order by your phone and can leave as soon as you are done.

I started off with the Beet & Goat Cheese Salad and I loved it. It reminded me of Spring and I especially liked the vinaigrette with it. We also ordered fries for the table and they were delicious and went quickly. For my entrée I chose the grilled Branzino and it was very crispy and cooked well. That’s a personal favorite fish of mine so it was nice to see it as an option on the menu.

Overall a really nice casual option in East Hollywood with easy parking and flexible seating. There is a lot of street parking, as well as a parking lot behind it and the large Gelson‘s lot next to it.

Pretty awful. A trash can indeed (poubelle = trash can in French).

I will pay good $ for good food but this wasn’t it. Their outdoor heaters weren’t working. The fries were just regular fries for $8. The burger with bechamel instead of mayo sorely missed the spot. The lentil soup tasted out of a can. There were no napkins on the table. Service was slow. And the bathrooms are disgusting (see photos).

On top of this, you have to order online and pay + tip before you experience the service. Peculiar and annoying quirk.

Want great and genuine French fare? Try the charming restaurant on Vermont Ave actually owned and run by a Frenchman.

Great place to enjoy some amazing food. It does get very loud inside with the bar patrons. I just wished they would not have ran out of one of the food dishes. Valet near by is very inexpensive.

We came during happy hour and got a lot of half priced appetizers. The food was good, but I feel like it was way too dark inside. The style is really cool with all the interesting stuff on the walls, but I felt like it was hard to appreciate it all with how dark it was.

Also, don’t get the carbonated water – It tasted foul.

This place is SO charming right along with its owner Francois! The food is INCREDIBLE and you’ll have trouble putting the fork down! Trevor and the rest of the staff we encountered were super helpful and kind. They used to make you order from a QR code but they are offering “old school service” or that option is still available too! We chose to have a server and enjoyed our conversation, the ambiance, the food , and Francois is the most precious man ever go support his business! Merci beaucoup! ❤️

Went for then music, will be back for the food. What a great find/spot! Loved the crowd, the vibe and especially the music venue, Le Son. Felt like a vintage, old school speak easy. Intimate and sophisticated, yet laid back. Great cocktails too! One of my new spots for music or just to hang out, here in LA!

The drinks are absolutely divine. I had an Eartha Kitt and felt like growling like Cat Woman. My boyfriend had a Bloody Maria and loved it as well, the food while prepared well wasn’t as flavorful as we would have liked. Service was also great I just feel like the food could have been seasoned more.

I rarely have ever given a 1 star review. Sat for 20 minutes without any attention. Sat for 40 minutes without water. Coq au vin I ordered looked unappetizing and tasted sub par. Tons of bay leaf stems that felt like fish bones with every bite. Took 3 bites and could not stomach any more.
