The French Way

"With a belief in the basics, Fundamental LA places a precedence on fresh ingredients, locally sourced food, and creating an intimate atmosphere where you would be able to have great conversations with some of your favorite people. The wines that they sell in store are actually made by farmers and will often pair their food with some fine wine selections - even offering a wine club known as the "tippler club". The modern space is simple and elegant - allowing its beliefs in the fundamentals to speak through the food to the decor." - Grace Duong

"Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano visited Westwood’s French Way and tried what owner Guillaume Condé calls the French fold. Only blocks away from UCLA, it’s got the following inside a flour tortilla: shawarma, chicken fingers, bacon, French fries, Emmental cheese, and barbecue sauce." - Mona Holmes

"Fundamental LA’s seasonal, sophisticated fare prepared with a deft eye for stunning plating is available for a wide variety of events. This full-service operation offers an extensive catering menu, but can also tailor their cuisine to a wide range of budgets." - Eater Staff

"French Exit will be an event space for live music, dancing, shows, and more, with bar space inside to service the crowds." - Farley Elliott
