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.;-)

    A very nice restaurant. Unfortunately, there was a very strong storm and we had to take everything in hand. This made the room a little louder. The personal service was very accommodating. I would definitely go back.

    Really awesome experience! Maria S was our server and she was the sweetest. It was my mom’s bday and we just decided to go for lunch. Didn’t realize there wasn’t valet parking for lunch so went in circles trying to figure out parking - park in the visitor underground parking garage of the US bank building. Restaurant will validate 2 hours of parking for $10 (instead of $40). Loved all the food. Ceviche was fresh, the pasta appetizer felt like a huge portion, hanger steak and smashed fried potatoes were divine, and the seared ahi tuna over veggies/salad was refreshing and light. The view is grand and made the meal feel so worth it.

    I recently visited L’appart and while the food and atmosphere were excellent, my experience was unfortunately overshadowed by the rude and unprofessional behavior of our waitress. The dishes we ordered were beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant was warm and inviting, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. However, the service left much to be desired. The waitress was curt, dismissive, and seemed irritated whenever we asked for assistance. It felt as though we were an inconvenience rather than valued guests. While I would love to return for the food and atmosphere, the poor service makes me hesitate. A little more courtesy and professionalism from the staff would go a long way in elevating the overall experience. I hope the management takes note, as this restaurant has so much potential. I visited this restaurant 3 times before and I never had problems with the attitude but this time after their renovation, they hired a new staff and this time I didn’t feel welcomed.
