Job Description

Petit Trois ‘L’Original’ opened its doors in 2014 by Chef/Owner Ludo Lefebvre in a nondescript strip mall in Hollywood. Inspired by classic Parisian bistros, featuring just 21 counter seats and an open kitchen, Petit Trois is intended to transport you to France with its decor and cuisine. Chef Ludo brings his signature flair to classic French dishes, always sourcing the best ingredients, and turning simple classics into something opulent without being overstated. The expansion of Petit Trois ‘Le Valley’ followed in 2018 in Sherman Oaks. This second, more spacious location is intended to feel like a lavish French Brasserie, including a gorgeous bar, banquette lined dining room, Chef’s counter in front of the open kitchen, and a second dining room which can be reserved for larger parties and Private Events.
