About La Poubelle Bistro
La Poubelle opened in 1969 based on a childhood dream of having a creperie in America. With humble beginnings, a small kitchen where the bar now resides, 35 crepes and 15 omelets were served to the music of Edith Piaf. Four decades later, La Poubelle has truly become a Hollywood landmark catering to loyal neighbors and friends.
