Ritzy Hollywood French bistro shuttered over stomach-turning health violation

Petit Trois L’Original, a popular French bistro in Hollywood, was temporarily closed on 10 November after Los Angeles County health inspectors recorded an 11-point violation for a vermin infestation. The closure raises concerns about conditions at the restaurant, which had reportedly cited “maintenance” issues when turning down reservations.

County records classify the restaurant as “high risk”; the article says an 11-point pest violation typically means live pests were found where food is prepared, stored or served. A customer described seeing a cockroach on a menu last month, while the bistro appeared to remain closed on Saturday. Its Sherman Oaks branch does not appear to be affected, and most businesses shut for such violations reopen within days of resolving the problem.
