Giant cones of twice-fried potatoes with multiple dipping sauces make it a must-stop if you care about fries as much as what’s beside them.

A French-inspired rooftop bistro that pairs skyline drama with approachable brasserie staples. The kitchen leans classic—steak frites, mussels, roast chicken—executed reliably at high volume, while the real draw is the terrace energy and panoramic DTLA views. Come for golden-hour cocktails and stay for a lively, view-forward dinner.
Must-Try Dishes:
Steak frites, Moules frites, Duck confit
What makes it special: Rooftop French bistro dining with one of DTLA’s best views.
Chef Santos Uy’s smashburger micro-chain brought its crisp-edged patties and properly salty fries into Grand Central Market in 2023. The menu is stripped-down—burgers, crispy shoestring fries, sweet potato fries—but execution and value make this one of downtown’s most compelling quick-stop fry plates.
Must-Try Dishes:
Crispy French Fries, Sweet Potato Fries, Single Smash Burger with Fries
What makes it special: Smashburger specialist where crisp fries are as dialed as the patties.
The DTLA outpost of Malibu’s seafood darling serves lobster rolls and seafood towers alongside hot, skin-on fries with Old Bay aioli. It’s more pricey than most market stalls, but the fries hold their own next to serious seafood and have become a go-to side for diners grazing Grand Central Market.
Must-Try Dishes:
French Fries with Old Bay Aioli, Chicken & Fries Basket, Lobster Roll with Fries
What makes it special: Seafood-heavy stall where crisp fries with Old Bay aioli anchor every order.
