Whether DTLA is your destination, or you live in the neighborhood, this very cozy winebar is a gem for everyone looking for a place to -chill-. I love coming here for a glass of wine, have an easy evening at such a welcoming environment… running into local artists performing some days a week and regulars from the block. Always a good time!

Mathieu curates a fun wine selection for all wine lovers & offers delicious bites ????

Mainly a wine spot but I got a cappuccino here and it was good(lots of froth, good temperature, descent flavor).

Great ambience and the indoor seating feels super homely and a great spot to take a date. I’d definitely come back here for the wine and I’ll reupdate my review.

This spot is thee go-to place any day of the week but highly recommend Wednesday's which are jazz night! The atmosphere is perfect, Mathieu makes you feel right at home. The wine is spectacular and the snacks offered are divine. Happy hour 5-7 can't go wrong! I feel like I'm not in DTLA when I'm here. It's a mini escape and advise everyone to pop in. Oh & make sure you have either a sandwich or crème brûlée, or both ;)

Delightful place with a good old world wine list, truly delicious cheeses in Meats available for an appetizer or light dinner. The bartender is very knowledgeable about wine and will suggest things that are within your budget. Wonderful Decor leather furniture a great place for an intimate date. Romantic and upscale in a casual way. I would definitely recommend this place for a date night.

Really charming and especially good wine. The man behind the bar recommended well at first and then betrayed a distinct lack of interest. Was he yawning as he poured? I think so. So we ended up with some expensive fruity things which rushed us out. Generally took 10-20 to walk over to our table. Snacks were presented well, however. Delicious little pickles...

The pictures don't fully capture the essence of the entire restaurant. Stumbled upon this place while being scared away by Blue Jam Restaurant's 1 hour wait for brunch on Sunday morning (few doors down of this place). Talk about getting lost! Once you enter the white, drawn curtains....you are in France. You will be greeted by a kind, French bartender that will walk you through their extensive French wine list (reds, whites, and rose), cheese platters, or even brunch if you arrive by 3pm on the weekend! We ordered of their brunch menu: $12 Francine which is a beautiful presentation of two over-easy eggs, buttered toast, side of fresh bananas and strawberries lightly sprinkled with powdered sugar. I'll be honest, the portions are very French and not large whatsoever (like you may need to grab a cheeseburger shortly after). To drink, we ordered a $4 latte and their must try $5 Tea Mariage Marcol Polo which is a black tea with fruity undertones. The tea is exquisite and had soft hints of fruit to stimulate your tastebuds. They offer 25 tea packets for $30 inside to take some home to savor another time. We didn't get to try their French wines, but will definitely venture back to this lovely spot soon. Great location for romantic date, informal business meetings, or even group meet up.

Despite the complaints, I didn't mind the restaurant selling material goods. There are various art pieces, clothing, backpacks, and other trinkets sold. All of the pieces are made by French artists and placed in clever nooks to blend in with the vintage decor of the location.
