L'APPART by AIR FOOD is above all two passionate visionaries, Marc and Thierry. They have come from two completely different paths.One was a contractor in logistics the other a chef in London and Paris.What they both have in common besides the love of good food is the love of street culture. Years ago they met in Paris during a regular sale of shoes at the Place de la République…From this meeting, the pair launched into a collaboration of sharing their passion for food. They started with pop-up restaurants with the aim of offering gastronomic street food to all, from a range of mixed recipes from different cultures and from gastronomic food to street food. Then, they had a brainwave…. Resulting in to transforming their Pop-ups into a real restaurant in downtown LA. From PARIS to LA come and travel with us.;-)

I recently had the pleasure of dining at JOEY, and it was an experience worth raving about. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a memorable evening. The staff went above and beyond to ensure my visit was exceptional. I was greeted with a complimentary glass of champagne, a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. The service was impeccable—friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. When my steak wasn’t cooked to my liking, the team handled the situation with such professionalism and grace. They quickly resolved the issue and even went a step further by offering me a gift card for my next visit, which was a delightful surprise. It’s rare to find a restaurant that combines great food, good vibes, and outstanding service so effortlessly. I can’t wait to return and recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience!

The food was really good, but I would prefer if they included coffee and tea with the brunch price. I was told there was a dress code but when we got there, everybody was very casual so I was confused. The staff was not very friendly, but the service was good and our food was good.
