West Hollywood meets the Sixth Arrondissement.

Barbette is a neighborhood restaurant and bar in Los Angeles, inspired by the ease of a Parisian bistro and the eccentric charm of old Hollywood. We designed the space to feel both cinematic and lived-in—somewhere between a set and a second home.

The palette is warm and a little unexpected: soft curves, aged mirror, velvet banquettes, and lighting that flatters everyone. There’s a touch of drama, but nothing too polished—just enough to catch the eye and hold it.

Barbette doesn’t try too hard to be cool. A little theatrical, and a little timeless.
