A Celebrated French Restaurant Adapts to Tough Times in Hollywood
Briefly

Mr. T, a highly anticipated Parisian bistro in Hollywood opened by Guillaume Guedj, has experienced challenges following its inception. Despite receiving acclaim from publications like Time Out LA and the Los Angeles Times, the restaurant contended with decreased customer traffic due to shifts in office work hours and the effects of labor strikes. The menu blends familiar bistro dishes with local influences, such as chicken pot pie and tuna crudo. A new pastry chef has been announced to enhance the dessert offerings, but Guedj recognizes the need for adaptation to thrive amid these hurdles.
The restaurant's opening menu featured Angeleno-oriented takes on classic bistro fare, like chicken pot pie with tare chicken jus, tuna crudo, roast lamb kebabs, and Koshihikari rice topped with sea urchin crème.
Guillaume Guedj, the restaurateur, discussed the challenges of reduced office traffic and the impact of labor strikes on sales, noting, "It's been tough, and we have to rethink our approach to survive."
