The interior is charming. The cuisine is hearty and comforting. I would describe the Thursday dinner clientele as “mature francophone”. Dinner entrees are in the $30 to $50 range.

Wonderful little french restaurant with delicious food, great service, cozy ambience and a lovely owner and staff. Been here for Brunch and Dinner and it was always a highlight during my trips to Los Angeles.

The review by K Young is ridiculous. Lighten up, dude… I trust this guy’s opinion on food about as much as I trust my mechanic. Anyway, having lived in Paris for 3 years, I am always searching for excellent french food and Le Petit Chez Mimi is my favorite French spot in LA. It’s a great mix of upscale and bistro-style. Steak au poivre, escargots, patè, and the chomeur are all delicious and make a perfect meal. The setting is relaxed and enjoyable. Keep it up!

Beautiful and quaint. The service was perfection as well as the food and wine. They have a wonderful vegan option for those on a plant based diet. Highly recommend.

I think the best way to describe Le Petit Cafe is as A Small Cafe. I don’t know what more needs to be said. Very good food. Only critique is that while the cafe may be petit, the prices are quite grands (Les Grands Prix?).
