Best French restaurant I’ve been to in a long time! Everything is wonderful – food, service, atmosphere. Setup shows the great taste of owner Dana and her team. Even plates and napkins are amazingly beautiful! They also run a cooking school upstairs and over zoom – would love to attend. Finally, tips are calculated based on pretax amount, and there is no additional charges of any kind.

To say that this is the BEST French restaurant I’ve been to, will not be enough! My wife and I used to work at Les Halles in NYC years ago, after it shut down it has been hard to find a place to match its unique flavors until Violet! The onion soup it’s AMAZING! My wife had their Bistro steak, and I had their burger, we also shared truffle frites and they were delightful! Our server was super sweet and knowledgeable of everything. I would give this place a million stars if I could. And to top it off, you guys were great accommodating us to the needs of our son’s service dog. We live in San Diego and go to LA often, so trust me we will be back OFTEN!

Can confidently say Violet is one of my very favorite French restaurants in LA. It’s located in beautiful Westwood Village and the atmosphere is truly special, it’s the sort of place that you will want to stay awhile. It’s designed really well on the inside with a beautiful bar, an outdoor atrium in the middle of the restaurant, and lots of great design touches including white brick walls, and chandeliers. Our server was extremely polite and was very prompt. They don’t have a dedicated parking lot, but street parking is easy to find in this area, we were able to find a space directly across the street for a 7PM Saturday dinner.

FANTASTIC! Chef Brittany combines love and beauty into delectable works of art some may call food. A whimsical experience, a cozy gem, a perfect balance of simplicity and details in every bite. Fresh, delicious and unique. A romantic rendezvous for every taste bud. ❤️

A beautiful French oasis in Westwood. The ambiance, food, and staff take you away to a café in France. The trout was buttery, with a kick of citrus & toasted almonds – very craveable. The duck was perfectly cooked with a delightful savory sweetness from the whole cherries & forbidden rice. We were too full for desert- but we will be back soon with friends! An ideal place for an intimate meal with people you love.

Absolutely loved this wonderful little bistro. Everything we had was delicious. We especially loved the truffle frites! All the vegetables from the dishes were fresh and excellent. The chef and crew did a wonderful job. Our server was excellent as well.

You would be hard-pressed to find a restaurant more beautiful and knowing than Violet L.A. Everything about this place is a smash hit! Gorgeous atmosphere, kind and helpful staff, and food that makes certain you will return and spread the word. Unfortunately, just at the end of our evening, the sous chef appeared and was rather rude and unthinking- perhaps better suited to stay in the kitchen and not out with the guests.

Went to Violet for brunch. The food is incredible! I had the Birria Eggs Benedict, and I have to say it is the best I have ever had. The Chef is a master at her craft, and it really shows in the menu she offers.

EVERYTHING AND MORE! The food here is impeccable. Salmon was cooked to perfection laid on a base of lentils, carrots, and onions. Flakey and buttery through the whole fillet. Truffle fries were divine. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Truffle sauce was rich and zesty! Cheesecake was creamy, with a sour twist from the blood oranges.

I love this place. Such a cute ambience and great service. A little piece of tranquility in Westwood. After a scrumptious lunch, the latte was delightful.
