Cannot recommend St. Lawrence in Chinatown in Vancouver highly enough. When we went they were celebrating regions of France and doing a set menu but under normal circumstances I believe they allow for ala carte dining.
It would be our favorite french style restaurant in LA, if it was located here. It’s French/Quebecoise but I am not well versed enough in Quebecoise cuisine to really parse the differences.
And Vijs also amazing not as good as St Lawrence but much better than Badmaash the only higher end Indian fine dining I can think of in LA to compare to.
