L'APPART by AIR FOOD is above all two passionate visionaries, Marc and Thierry. They have come from two completely different paths.One was a contractor in logistics the other a chef in London and Paris.What they both have in common besides the love of good food is the love of street culture. Years ago they met in Paris during a regular sale of shoes at the Place de la République…From this meeting, the pair launched into a collaboration of sharing their passion for food. They started with pop-up restaurants with the aim of offering gastronomic street food to all, from a range of mixed recipes from different cultures and from gastronomic food to street food. Then, they had a brainwave…. Resulting in to transforming their Pop-ups into a real restaurant in downtown LA. From PARIS to LA come and travel with us.;-)

    Never disappointed with service or food! But my I was dissatisfied with the temperature of my cocktail. I ordered Clearly Love cocktail it was room temperature definitely needed to be shaken with ice to make it more refreshing and cold.

    We had our first omakase here and it was very delicious experience. We order the Yawaragi crusine course. Our sushi chef was a lady name Mihoh I believed and she was very skilled and talented. Will definitely come back and try other crusine courses.

    Michael treated us to the best Valentine’s Day experience ever! The food and service was outstanding, the best that the 6 of us have ever experienced. He ensured we received the VIP treatment, gave us a full restaurant history and a tour to see the kitchen, pasta making section, wine storage and back of 🏠 house operations! From people who have spent time eating our way through Italy, we loved the authentic dishes in this former warehouse which was the center of the LA Farmers Market! ❤️
