We have the fortune of living two blocks away from what is arguable one of Los Angeles’ few true French restaurants. French food was hijacked by gourmet chefs who tried to establish the sauce as the holy grail of culinary school. La Dijoniase proves that you can serve good French food in a cool neighborhood restaurant, without the astronomic price tag or the Food Network hovering near the souse chef station. Sandwiches, salads, pastas, and crepes, baby. They also serve one of the rare true Nicoise salads in town. There is a lunch menu with more sandwiches and lunch options. Beware, the one thing that is the most traditionally French here is the service. It tends to suck. The waiters are nice, but have trouble remembering you exist. Average price for two people is about twenty bucks before tip.
