Compagnon Wine Bistro

The food is excellent. We have enjoyed everything we tried. And, yes there is an excellent wine selection. Allow the server to choose for you. Service is very good, everyone pitches in. The facility to cozy but not cramped. The seats can get a bit uncomfortable after a while, just so you know. Indoor and sidewalk seating The street is not too busy so it is pleasant in good weather. We are returning customers and are glad to have them in our neighborhood.

In lighter news, we enjoyed a delectable dinner this past Friday at Compagnon Wine Bistro. It was a wonderful experience and celebrated a friend's birthday and continued the evening with drinks next door at the Whale and Ale. Both establishments were lively and every seat was taken. Cheese board and escargot is highly recommended, everything else was good so you can't go wrong. Place was beautiful and pleasant.

Thomas and his wife are wonderful hosts. They make you feel like part of the family. The restaurant feels like many cafés I've been to in France. I love the decor and the choice of tableware. And If you are someone who enjoys wine... You came to the right place! He even has a wine club.The food here is excellent, I've never had a bad meal. The menu is simple and traditional. The flavors represent the French cuisine beautifully. It's a must try! Parking is typically easy and there's a large parking lot up the street or down.

As the southernmost extremity of LA city, San Pedro has a sleepy and maritime vibe that differs from most of the rest of the city. Located in downtown, Compagnon is casual yet sophisticated. Starting with a warm welcome, one is impressed by the care that goes into improving your dining experience. We were most impressed with the food especially the beef bourginon that had the tenderness and flavor only achievable through careful braising. The branzino was also excellent and a bargain. The mousse au chocolat tasted of the cream and high-grade bittersweet chocolate needed for the unctuous creamy texture and alarmingly intense chocolate flavor that puts most of what passes for this popular dessert to shame. Enhancing the experience is Stella Liberté beer, my fave non- alcoholic brew. Though a long ride from the Westside, the excellent food and service combined with moderate prices justifies the long drive. Furthermore, San Pedro provides a welcome glimpse into LA as it was in the 1930s.

Very nice medium sized French restaurant in San Pedro. The food is interesting & excellent as was the Pinot Noir wine on special. I had an octopus salad as appetizer which was very tasty but a bit too sweet but still very edible. For my main I had a duck leg confit that was out of this world with crispy skin & a satisfying layer of duck fat between the skin & meat. I was concerned about the fat but according to Google it is as healthy as olive oil with mono- & polyunsaturated fat (the good kind of fat!).My wife had mussels in a cream sauce which she loved. Portions are substantial necessitating the skipping of dessert. Service was attentive & friendly (at least for 2 of the 3 servers. Though it was filled, it was comfortably quiet (except for one lady who spoke nonstop at about 80 decibels). Highly recommended.

First time here didn't know this place existed but very happy to have found it. It's located in San Pedro which is very close. The Service and ambiance was amazing. Such a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. It's a French restaurant which adds to its appeal. We ordered the charcuterie board that also came with a baguette so fresh and so so good. I will definitely be coming back to try some other things on their menu. I highly recommend feels like you have traveled to France when you're here.

Parking is a little difficult because it is on the street and there is metered parking. Staff is very friendly. Ended up ordering escargot for starters. And the branzino and steak frittes. First time ever having escargot. It was delicious. The garlic butter and oil sauce it came with was amazing. Along with the mini biscuits on top. The branzino was cooked to perfection. I asked for polenta instead of rice. Was very very good. The steak was also cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this place.

We dine here again [and again] My last review was in 2020. This restaurant continues to be very good ... The food (and wine) are eclectic, beautifully presented, and tastes wonderful ... the service is also outstanding, and the atmosphere reminds us so much of France in the countryside and the cities. Here's an update ...The owners ... Thomas and Loni have also purchased the restaurant next door ... "The Whale and Ale" will be a pub with hamburgers, fries, etc. [And hopefully prime rib at least once a week]We know people are fickle ... and a restaurant can quickly fail ... not here. We are so fortunate to have Compagnon in San Pedro ... we believe it to be "the best of the best."

Compagnon was incredibly delicious. It's strange how there are so few french bistro restaurants in Los Angeles. Compagnon does it right and has all the classic bistro dishes on their menu. I had a hard time choosing, but I ended up with the beef bourguinon which I was very happy with. It was tender and rich. My wife had the special fish, trout, which she said was amazing. I had a bite, and agree. Our friends were also happy with their dishes.For starters, we shared escargot and a dish of mussels and frites. If you like butter, these will satisfy that craving. We also shared the liver pate, which was also delicious.Finally, for dessert, the Apple galette and lemon tart which were also quite good. There is a few things I'd like to try next time, and the drive here from LB is so nice when you go over the bridges by the port. We are coming back for sure!Oh, service and wine were excellent too!

Food , service , ambiente.The food is great, amazing service and super nice people.I can to work on my laptop to cut the traffic and it was the best choice I did.
