I’m not quite sure how I have never noticed, seen or known about Mes Amis before, especially because if you follow my street until it ends at Vermont you end up on it’s patio, but it is amazing and delicious.

Basically, they bisected the old Hollywood Hills Café (sad that it’s gone) into two restaurants, Mes Amis and Cuba Libre (at least I think that’s what it’s called – wasn’t paying attention). (Damn, I’m a fan of Parentheticals, even when used inappropriately). Atmospherically, it is a Francophiles dream, complete with a patio lit with little lights and an interior that can play host to large parties (rare in Los Feliz).

The menu sports a lot of French classics that I would never touch… Frogs Legs, Escargot, Pate… but surprisingly had a large variety of Vegetarian and Vegan options and probably some of the best Freedom Fries I have ever had. EVER. I had:

Polenta Napoleon
Grilled Polenta Cakes with Layered Goat Cheese
mixed with Tomatoes, Olives, Garlic, Basil, Roasted
Peppers, Balsamic Reduction & Frisée

Holy shit kids, this was amazing. Really fantastically delectable. Anne Lee had the Asperagus Benedict minus the Prosciutto (which of course :

Brioche Toast, White Asparagus, Poached Egg,

Prosciutto Crisp and Truffled Hollandaise

Also equally delicious. There are a bunch of other things I want to try… so I see visits in the future.

As an added bonus… and probably my favorite part… On Thursday Paris Loves L.A’s Adele Jacques and her pianist friend sing classic French Pop songs ala Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall – so if you’re gonna go - go on a Thursday. It’s worth it.

Oh and rumor has it that the Cuban place next door has happy hour, 7 days a week, featuring $3 Mojitos.
