Photos: French-Mexican Brunch Spot Trois Familia Opens In Silver Lake

Trois Familia, a new French-Mexican brunch and lunch destination in Silver Lake, will officially open tomorrow.
Following a super soft opening today, the highly anticipated restaurant will start serving their creative cross-cultural dishes from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., seven days a week. Trois Familia is another joint venture from superstar chefs Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook, and Vinny Dotolo—who also opened the popular Trois Mec and Petit Trois. And judging by the menu shared by Eater LA, the restaurant is likely to soon see lines out the door in anticipation of churro French toast and double decker potato tacos.
Similar to the unassuming facade of Petit Trois, the new restaurant is nestled in a strip mall along Sunset Boulevard, taking over the space of the former Alegria. While perhaps not as mind-blowing as some might expect a French-Mexican brunch mash-up to be, the menu does look to hold some delicious-sounding promises. We're definitely intrigued by the crispy hash brown chilaquiles with a sunny side-up egg, cotija and salsa macho; a Galette crêpe with comté cheese, ham and avocado milk; and the previously mentioned churro French toast with Mexican chocolate and vanilla ice cream from Salt & Straw.
The menu also features lunch items as well, including Mexican-roasted heirloom carrots with crème fraîche and herbs, or a chicken milanesa with raw and pickled cucumbers. And most of the dishes range from a reasonable $8 to $13, with the exception of the $38 steak diane for ballers.
Trois Familia is located at 3510 Sunset Blvd, Silver Lake.
As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
