Délices du Chef

Cute restaurant serving French cuisine in a cozy atmosphere with French speaking staff. Delicious food. Love it and wish they were open for dinner. Only about 10 parking spaces. I parked next door behind Floor Source/AT&T. My friend parked her big truck in the plaza across from Shell. Make reservations!

It appears that a french family running the restaurant. The bakery-based menu is authentic French flavored and the plates and cups really brought out the elegance. The French lady owner loves interact with guests which is really fun and cool dine-in experience. The only downside is that seats are slightly narrow in this small restaurant. Crème brûlée is a must! It’s so good !!

My daughter and I popped in to get a To Go order and just had to stay. In a world of negativity it was so refreshing how positive every interaction we had while dining. We instantly fell in love! The employees talked to us as if we were family and insisted on even bringing us water (with ice I might add) for our frenchie. We ordered multiple pastries to go so we could munch on our car ride back to the OC. The Apple turnover was better than any apple pie out there. Croissants baked to perfection. And, the lemon tarts are heavenly. Only complaint I have was the flakey mess I made devouring these treats! Can’t wait to swing by again.

This French café is absolutely amazing! The atmosphere is stylish yet cozy, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. What impressed me the most was how delicious the food is. Every dish is beautifully presented and tastes authentic – it truly feels like being in France. The desserts are exquisite, perfectly balanced, and not too sweet. The art displayed in the café was also incredible and added to the overall charm. It’s the kind of café I could visit over and over again. I can’t wait to bring my friends and family here. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic experience!

Wonderful French Cafe on Crenshaw! I had the Eggs Benedict and it was great! They have all sorts of baked goods as well. Pick up some butter and a baguette while you’re here too!

When you get into this stylish French cafe/restaurant/bakery, you feel instantly welcome. A super friendly staff with warm smiles. The food is incredible and authentic.

My wife and I went in for dinner on my birthday( we drove all the way from the west valley). I had the vegan gnocchi and fries which were exquisite, and my wife had the croque - monsieur with a side salad, that she loved! For desert, we ordered the lava cake which was amazing. We also got a baguette, palmiers and brioche to have for at home, all superb...my wife grew up in Paris, she found the food truly authentic, the ambience, from the frames on the wall to the music, well curated. The service was excellent, they are dog friendly and brought a water bowl out for our pooch. They have outdoor seating, a huge plus on a nice day. We are definitely coming back (even though we are an hour away!) and I highly recommend you check this place out for great French food!!

We have gone here about 5 times now. Every single time, the food was spectacular. My favorite is the butternut risotto. Perfect portion size. Very flavorful. The deserts are beautiful to look at, and tastes just as good as they look. The server with the short white hair is very friendly and energetic. She is also the reason why I go back there. I love her customer service.

This small, warm cozy French restaurant was an absolute delight for our Saturday dinner. The food is simply fantastic, elevating traditional French fare. A special shout-out to the CHEF: you possess a unique talent for making the food feel "alive" in your mouth—the depth of flavor is truly incredible! For couples seeking a romantic evening, I highly recommend this spot. It offers a genuine, peaceful slice of Paris right outside LA

Ce restaurant est exceptionnel, le menu est excellent! Our friend who just went to this place the day before recommended for us to go again the following day for dinner. A cute little French cafe with excellent service. Veronique was so hospitable, warm and kind. She makes you feel right at home and cared for. The food was delicious, but the service was the icing on the cake with a cherry on top, making the whole experience wonderful. We whet our palates with an adorable mini cup of amuse-bouche, which tasted like shredded duck underneath a bed of delectable whipped potatoes. It was delish and left you wanting more. Our party had the warm and comforting Ratatouille, the delicious and flavorful French Onion Soup, Le Steak au Poivre, Pork Belly, Roasted Black Cod en Croûte which was light and tasty along with my dish, the Canard Confit which was so decadent and tasty. The duck was seasoned to perfection and paired so well with the sweet and sour date sauce resting in the spoon push of celeri root mousseline and topped with honey roasted dates. Beautiful plating for all the dishes. The girls ordered desserts which were decadent and divine. Veronique escorted them to the display case to pick out their choices and even added a sweet special little something to their plate. They were in awe and enjoyed every single bite! Overall, this was an excellent first-time experience for us all! We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be coming back again and again!

Love the croissant benedict, escargot, French baguette and jam, just to name a few. Food is always presented beautifully and just as delicious. Service is good and friendly. Restaurant is always clean. I love that you can take home ready prepared foods for reheating (the soups are just perfection), and other French deli and bakery items. I highly recommend you dine here for breakfast, lunch and now open wor weekend dinner!

I love Delices du Chef and we were so happy to find this little piece of France in LA. Now that we have moved back to France, when we return to LA for business, we come back to Delices for a taste home. Their croissants are delicious but also love their croque madame which 100% authentic. And check out their fruit-like pastries! Service is so french and fun. We love Delices du Chef.

It’s such a cute restaurant. I met my friend there at 11 a.m. on Saturday, but the parking lot was full, so we parked nearby and walked. We ordered a glass of white wine and shared the Egg Benedict and avocado toast. Both were absolutely delicious, and the coffee was great too. Next time, I’d love to try other dishes.

As a French native missing home, I was on the hunt for a French lunch spot, and I found a gem! This place has truly become my new favorite. The food is incredibly fresh and delicious, with an ambiance that transports you straight to France. The staff puts their heart into both the food and service. I ordered the steak poivre, and it was perfectly made to order. Plus, their selection of homemade pastries is simply stunning! I highly recommend this place for anyone craving authentic and unique French cuisine.

Authentic French bakery Cafe, closest you can get without getting on a plane bound for Paris. New menu got the steak did not disappoint! Perfectly cooked peppercorn sauce Heaven!

I love the food, the drinks, the people and the atmosphere of this place. They already had a lot of fans base at the Farmers Market so when they opened the bistro it was an instant hit. I don't know of any other place in LA where you can enjoy authentic French cuisine in a casual atmosphere.

Best breakfast I’ve had. On arrival you are greeted by a French server and her lovely French accent , French music playing and Ratatouille on the wall. The ambiance alone isn’t all I go back for. The French butter and fresh baguette plus an omelette are a few things I’ve had on the menu. Across from us someone ordered a dish where the Chef came out and flambé table side . I work at the Ritz and we don’t even do that . They’re on a different level . Prices are reasonable . Dont know how it isn’t viral . I give it a 100 out of 10.

I just had a delicious lunch. Avocado toast with diced beets, smoked salmon and a perfectly poached egg on top. Every part of it was on point: speed of service, presentation, flavor. People with me had the croque madame which is a larger plate and more filling. It comes with fries or salad. This is just such a great addition to the area. The people are genuinely French, very welcoming and they know what they are doing. Highly recommend.

First time here. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is incredible. We had the duck burger and the chicken club, plus escargot, and left satisfied in terms of amount of food and the quality and taste. This is a hidden gem for French cuisine in the South Bay and we will definitely be back!

The food menu and desserts were delicious 👍, but cappuccino is very milky and watery. I hope they make it in 6-8 oz size cup with less milk so that the coffee taste gets better.

Left Torrance Memorial and wanted a sandwich this place was close. I got Le Parisien and the Ratatouille Tartine, my order was to go, I had to wait outside since there wasn't much room inside. Le Parisien was a simple sandwich that tasted good no complaints. But the Ratatouille Tartine was delicious, I would go again just to get that sandwich (I suggest this to people who are fine with veggies). The staff were very friendly, felt like they knew me. They also have Escargot, if you want to try something new.

The food itself is not bad, and the quality is quite good. It’s nice to have a French restaurant in Torrance that offers decent flavor at a reasonable price. That said, my first impression made it hard for me to want to return, as I personally felt uncomfortable with serving.
