    5-course tasting menu changes frequently at this Michelin ⭐️ restaurant owned by French chef Ludo Levevre. Counter-seating in front of the kitchen or sit at a table. We love the duck with pear (pic).

    Amazing event eating - you buy your ticket in advance on TroisMec.com (tix go on sale every other Friday at 8am for the following 2 weeks). Pro Tip - ask to sit at the bar to see Ludo cook up close!

    Lowkey restaurant hidden inside an old pizza place. No signage and just a plain glass door that will welcome into the amazing five course menu by Chef Ludo Lefebre. Better book tickets in advance.

    Ludo Lefebvre paired up with Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo to create a musical version of Led Zeppelin - a supergroup of uber-talented culinary minds that produces one of the best tasting menus in town. Read more

    Ludovic Lefebvre is one of the greatest pure chefs ever to cook in Los Angeles. Trois Mec is the first place that has ever been his own, like a private club that happens to serve delicious cuisine. Read more

    Never had I thought that white chocolate, mashed potatoes, and freshwater eel would taste so delicious together, but it did. The Avocado and tabouli was very refreshing. Not impressed w wine pairing

    For all of its maddening drawbacks, Trois Mec is the closest thing in the United States to the ecstatic improvisational cooking at Parisian bistronomy shrines such as Frenchie and Le Chateaubriand. Read more

    Prepared for ambivalence but it was the most inventive food I've had all year (and decent value for the level of care, attention, and refinement). Challenging, slightly academic, and very impressive.

    Protip: You can tell a lot about a dude from the way he eats buckwheat "popcorn," the crunchy fried grain that tends to show up before the meal at Trois Mec, the new restaurant from Ludovic Lefebvre. Read more

    The only signage for this restaurant is for a pizza joint that used to occupy the space--so you know this one’s on the DL. Even the menu is kept secret until you show up for your $85 prix-fixe meal. Read more

    Meals must be purchased in advance off Trois Mec's website. Including tip but excluding alcohol, the nightly prix fixe amounts to nearly $100 a head.

    It's a little tricky getting a reservation however it's more than worth the extra effort. Ludo is the mad scientist of haute cuisine

    Lefebvre’s rich, fluffy potato pulp with brown butter, onion soubise and laguiole cheese is the standout fave of foodies.

    Parties of two get the best seats in the house - at the counter where you can watch incredible food being prepared in the open kitchen.

    Make reservations weeks in advance (pre purchase tickets on line). Get the wine pairings. They know what they'd doing.

    Say yes to everything. The food and wine pairings are delightful. A lot of thought put into each dish.

    This is not the overly precious cooking of the avant-garde. There are no sauce swooshes or pretentious platings or the sense that what you're consuming might be visual art rather than dinner. Read more

    It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was the worst food I've had this year." I left after the 2 appetizers and the first course.

    C'est plutôt bon, mais il y a toujours un truc en trop dans les plats, en tout cas à mon goût. Dans le cas présent, un peu moins ce serait vraiment mieux. Irancy a 90$ vraiment ?
