Opened in June 1922, The Tam O'Shanter boasts a rich, storied history and warm, inviting atmosphere. We’re proud to be in our 10th decade of continuous service. We originally considered it a quiet pastoral road stop, since Los Feliz Boulevard was just an unpaved country lane traversed by rabbits and rabbit hunters, in that order.Everything changed when Walt Disney and his animators, set designers, and crews began trekking out between takes for a bite and a refreshment. So often, in fact, that the Tam was once dubbed “The Studio Commissary.”Join us and see why the Tam is said to have been Walt’s favorite restaurant!As a family-run establishment, we’re committed to keeping our community safe. We always practice strong hygiene protocols and rigorously adhere to all CDC food safety standards.

As always, we love going to Petit Trois for the delectable selection of dishes, all prepared right in front of of you if you’re lucky enough to sit at the counter watching all the delicious magic taking place. We love the food, the enjoyable banter among all the staff, and the fact that it’s some of the best French cuisine in LA.

Absolutely fantastic. Took my wife here for her birthday while we were visiting. The service was next level - we never sat unattended, and every course came out in perfect time related to the previous one. My wife commented that she thought we were in an episode of The Bear given how every detail was on point. The food was delicious we started with the polpo for an appetizer, and I had the Il Garganelli… this pork sausage ragú was unreal. Her seafood linguine was amazing as well. We topped off with panna cotta for dessert and they even made it special for her birthday. Will definitely come back here for more the next time I’m in LA!
