Since opening in 2019, Pasjoli has evolved into one of Los Angeles’ premier French dining destinations, known for its rigorous technique, refined flavors, and understated elegance. While rooted in the traditions of French cuisine, the restaurant is distinctly shaped by Beran’s meticulous approach to ingredient selection and seasonality.
The menu at Pasjoli changes regularly, balancing classic French preparations with an inventive, ingredient-forward perspective. Among its standout offerings is the Canard à la Presse, a theatrical dish that honors the famed Parisian tradition of pressing a whole duck tableside to extract its rich, complex flavors. Other dishes showcase Pasjoli’s dedication to French culinary fundamentals, including ravioli with fromage blanc and maitake mushrooms, shrimp & lobster with lobster velouté, and Parisian gnocchi with escargot and sauce Bordelaise.
Complementing the food is a carefully curated wine list, highlighting French producers alongside a selection of standout California wines. The restaurant's intimate setting—a warm, softly lit dining room with open-kitchen views—offers an atmosphere both sophisticated and inviting.
At Pasjoli, Beran continues to reinterpret French bistro cuisine with precision, creativity, and a dedication to quality ingredients. Whether through its intricate sauces, delicate textures, or thoughtfully composed dishes, Pasjoli remains a testament to the beauty of French cooking in a modern context.
