The Moment
West Hollywood just added another glossy night-out magnet to the map. Très LA Bistro & Café celebrated its grand opening on Friday, May 8, with a buzzy crowd at the Pacific Design Center.
The guest list skewed young and camera-ready: model and DJ Delilah Belle Hamlin, “Love, Victor” star Michael Cimino, “American Horror Story” alum Nico Greetham, “Teen Wolf” star Tyler Posey, and former “Bachelorette” Rachel Lindsay, plus a swirl of actors, dancers, and creators.
The vibe? Parisian flair with Los Angeles polish, think Left Bank but make it WeHo. The evening doubled as a preview of the spot’s upcoming happy hour and dinner service, reportedly rolling out this week.
The Take
I love a themed opening night as much as the next person in line for pommes frites, but let’s be honest: LA’s current bistro boom is less about beurre blanc and more about being seen between candlesticks. Très LA Bistro & Café is playing the right game: drop a French accent in the name, tuck it inside a landmark, invite a photogenic crowd, and let the internet do the rest.
What matters is whether the place becomes a true neighborhood hangout or just another pretty backdrop. The attendee mix says they’re aiming beyond industry-only: familiar TV faces (Posey, Cimino), a model with legacy name recognition (Delilah Belle, daughter of Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin), and reality alum Rachel Lindsay. That’s a smart cross-section for WeHo, recognizable without feeling like a step-and-repeat factory.
Analogy time: This opening felt like slipping a “bistro” filter over LA nightlife. Warmer lighting, crisp edges, same camera roll. If the food and service carry the mood past week two, Très LA could graduate from photo op to plan-worthy dinner spot.

Backstory (for Casual Readers)
Delilah Belle Hamlin is a model and DJ (and yes, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin’s daughter). Michael Cimino led Hulu’s Love, Victor. Nico Greetham popped up on “American Horror Story” and “The Prom”. Tyler Posey headlined MTV’s “Teen Wolf”, and Rachel Lindsay became a household name as “The Bachelorette” before building a media career. The Pacific Design Center, those bold blue-and-green buildings on San Vicente, is a design hub that’s increasingly home to splashy food-and-drink concepts.
What’s Next
Watch Très LA’s official channels for menus, hours, and any soft-launch tweaks as happy hour and dinner service roll out. If early buzz holds, expect a second wave of influencer drop-ins and, soon enough, those “impossible to snag” weekend tables.
We’ll keep an eye on whether the place earns regulars beyond opening-night glitter. A few strong dishes and friendly service can turn a photo-op palace into a real go-to.
