The 16 Best French Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation
"You don’t need a reason to live large at Camphor, but that’s what you’re in for when you come to this Arts District restaurant. Everything is just, well, very nice. The glassware. The ice. The maître d’ who wants to know if everything is OK. (It is.) The panipuri-like amuse bouche. The fact that there is even an amuse-bouche. But chances are you’re not dining out for antique cutlery and royal treatment alone. Camphor delivers on food, too. The French dishes often takes inspiration from Indian or Southeast Asian cuisines. This means instead of eating big brasserie snoozers, you’ll have a best-in-class-burger, tingly gunpowder sardines, and a side of cheesy spinach that leans more palak paneer than standard steakhouse." - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
