Known for its rustic charms and as a haunt for ex-pat Europeans, Little Door brings French refinement to L.A.’s Brentwood neighborhood.

Candlelight prevails at the charming and intimate Little Door Santa Monica, the Westside sister restaurant to Little Door on Third street in mid-city. The Westside location has all the charms of the original and a menu that presents Mediterranean cuisine with a French twist.

There are several dining areas and patios, which divide the space. The extensive wine list begins with grower champagnes and advances to a wide selection of French Burgundy and Bordeaux wines. Three French-born restaurateurs are behind the enterprise and the attention to interior details is quite exquisite. Both locations are favourites of celebrities, however, the dark corners ensure their privacy.
