The Owners

Le Petit Four opened on the Sunset Strip as a small handmade pastry shop in 1981 by Frenchman Oliver Chaykine. What most people don’t know is that this outdoor café was one of the first to display tables on the sidewalk, allowing customers to people-watch and look for any famous celebrities.

Throughout the mid-80s to late-90s, new owners doubled Le Petit Four and created a more restaurant-style experience for its customers.

In January 1999, friends Alexandre Morgenthaler and Robert Bigonnet took over. Together, they combined their taste and style and made Le Petit Four as it is today.

In May 2013, Robert retired, but Alexandre has continued to set the tone and style with his vibrant energy and vision. With its laid-back ambiance and casual setting, anyone will find Le Petit Four a fabulous restaurant to eat at.
