Good French food in a nice location and fine service. Went here for a friend's birthday and enjoyed everything. Was it expensive, yes. Was it better than your average going out for a fancy birthday dinner, yes. I remember going to the one in Hollywood and feeling like it was more bar than restaurant, and this one feels more restraint than bar. It worked for me.

My husband and I were in Studio City at 6:45 PM on Friday and traffic to Northridge was very heavy so we decided to stop at Petit Trois with no reservations. There were no tables available until 8:15 PM but there was plenty of seating at the main bar, and there is also a smaller bar with seats looking into the kitchen. The servers at the bar were efficient, fun and engaging. We decided to order a few appetizers to share. The escargot, served with a warm, crusty baquette, was swimming in garlic buttery goodness.....so good. The outside of the french onion soup was drenched in cheese with lots of onion gooeyness inside. The broth by itself was outstanding. We also ordered their crab cake. While it was very good it was my least favorite of the three. It was quite different from any crab cake I have had before. To start with it was dense. Not in a bad way, just not lumpy or flaky. It was served on a light sauce that was sweet and pungent, with a small herb salad on top. It was more of an asian sauce as opposed to something like a remoulade. We also ordered a glass of wine and a non alcholic beer. It was completely packed at the bar and in the waiting area when we were leaving, so I would definitely recommend making reservations ahead of time. Their whole menu looks wonderful so we will definitely be returning again.

I found myself in the Valley one weekday and dropped in here, having recently had a very good lunch at the original Hollywood location. It was "linner" time, 3:30 pm, so the restaurant was almost empty. I was pleasantly surprised this Valley outpost offers a weekday lunch menu identical to the original location, but it's not shown on the website. The lunch menu has the same 5 offerings (including sandwiches like jambon/beurre, croque monsieur/madame), plus the identical 3-course prix fixe option, both offered until 4 pm. The Valley also has a weekend brunch menu 8am-3pm. The Valley spot has a much larger indoor dining area vs. the original, but the outdoor area is smaller. Inside, there are 2 dining rooms plus the bar that also has a few seats facing the open kitchen. I opted to order off the all-day menu, which is slightly larger vs. Hollywood, with snacks, an additional salad and a few more entrees. Prices are the same for identical dishes. For a snack I got the eggs mayonnaise, which are deviled eggs, and they were fine. My appetizer choice was the leeks "fondant". The dish had a very green and white, somewhat bracing sauce (vin jaune + leek oil) plus hazelnuts; the leeks had to be cut "with the grain" and were therefore a bit stringy, but tasty. My entree was the Heritage chicken, a roasted airline chicken (breast + drumette) served with pommes paillasson (like tater tots but in a bar shape) and a simple salad. Moist and delicious. For dessert I chose the profiterole trio, 3 choux pastries filled with chocolate, vanilla and strawberry gelato, topped with chocolate sauce and almonds. It was a very generous dessert. There was a staff shift at 4 pm. Both servers were very friendly, but service became more sparse latter in the meal as more guests were seated and there was still only one server. Overall another very good meal. This Petit Trois is more comfortable than the Hollywood location, but much further from home.

Fries are a must... DELICIOUS! Tartar was so fresh and scrumptious...the burger...the filet of fresh marinated, butter soaked goodness. And for desert can't go wrong with crème brûlée.

My family and I had a wonderful experience here at Petit Trois. Firstly, the service was impecable- the staff were all so knowledgeable and friendly! I am not big into French cuisine, however this meal changed my biases. The endive salad was fresh and vibrant and full of flavor. The tapioca arancini had a wonderful texture and was beautifully fried. The chicken was tender and juicy. Finally, their bread pudding was SUPERB! I left the restaurant feeling stuffed and content. Ludo and his team hit it out of the park.

Came back again thanks to the thoughtful and professional manager here. After coming back and trying the food, I'd rerate my experience as 5/5. Servers were very friendly despite the restaurant being very busy during lunch. Tried the moules frites & fennel sausage with the usual chicken pate as appetizer. I'd recommend going for the lunch menu if you are here for lunch.

Love love love the ambience here, it's intimate and tastefully decorated. I tried the duck here and honestly think about it a lot. The presentation was beautiful and the sauces/cream it was served with complemented the meat very well. Service was also great and no complaints here.

The atmosphere is straight out of France - a beautiful old world brassiere. Heavy table linens, lovely stemware and flatware. The servers were a perfect mix of warm, friendly, and professional. Their uniforms underscored this image - down to long aprons. Food service was flawless, as was the taste of everything we ordered. I had the opportunity to speak with the charming owner/ chef about the endive salad, praising the dressing. I asked him about the source of the olive oil, and he unhesitatingly showed me the bottle. The food. How can a ham and cheese sandwich and salad be so memorable?! No really. It was THAT good. Just the right amount of French ham and butter on a crispy baguette. All of the ingredients had a place to shine. The fries were hot, crispy, and lightly salted. But the salad... oh that salad. Fresh juicy endive, with a pool of an incredible vinaigrette and chopped toasted hazelnuts. I don't usually care for hazelnuts , but I practically licked the plate clean. My daughter ordered the croque madam and although it was a very rich, generous portion, she almost licked the plate. The béchamel was delightfully creamy. A most memorable lunch... months later, I still cannot stop thinking about it. Esp since we were too full to order dessert last time. This place is off the charts. I will be back!

I don't think I can rave about this place anymore. It is one of my favorite restaurants and it is literally my husband's favorite. He doesn't get excited to go anywhere except Petit Trois. Ambiance and service here has always been lovely. Even if we call last minute, they truly try to do anything possible to get us a reservation and it's greatly appreciated, never experienced such effort anywhere else. Now our favorite thing about this place is the FOOD!! We have such a difficult time getting our order ready for the waiter because we always want to order the entire menu! We came here today for mother day lunch and my mother in law is diabetic so we have a lot of food restrictions and it's typically very difficult for us to find a restaurant where we can take her out. It was so nice to have something close to home and have such a great menu variety not only for us, but especially for her. She had such a lovely time, I think this became her new favorite spot as well :). We loved absolutely everything we had here, I was so so happy after such an incredible meal. Can not wait to come back here. * One of the best Chinese chicken salads I've ever had * The omelette was exceptional and it was extra good with the addition of black caviar
