Culver City is unrecognizable these days. It’s like every month there’s a new construction popping up, new restaurants and cafes cycling through. Hell, there’s even an Erewhon in downtown Culver now. And the Platform, a commercial hub ahead of its time, seems to be thriving now, expanding to be all but connected to the growing downtown commercial and transportation hubs. One of such new additions to the neighborhood is Juliet, a beautiful and delightful all-day French restaurant from the same folks behind Margot over at the Platform.

Juliet is pitched as a modern Parisian restaurant. And it more than delivers. The ambiance alone transports you from the suburban vibes of Culver City to a classy and elegant European space. The indoor-outdoor space flows together beautifully, and it makes the most of LA weather (one area that definitely gives it a leg up from Paris). The menu draws from French culinary tradition brought to life through local ingredients in a contemporary way that feels as Californian as it does Parisian. Round it out with all day service and a comprehensive drinks program and it makes for an easy neighborhood favorite that feels welcoming enough to be a casual lunch or breakfast but can also make for a nice special occasion dinner.
