Best Thing I Ever Ate, Season 6 Los Angeles, California

Current status

Open

As of October 2026, La Poubelle Restaurant is listed open on theinfatuation.com, reviewed by our team on October 18, 2026; not yet independently confirmed through direct contact.

What the source shows: The Infatuation reviewed La Poubelle at 5907 Franklin Ave. on March 21, 2025, describing a French bistro with happy hour Tuesday to Saturday and weekend hours until 1 a.m., and its guide to late-night restaurants in Los Angeles also lists it at that address.

What happened after Best Thing I Ever Ate?

The Best Thing I Ever Ate's 'As Good as Mom's' episode featured La Poubelle, a French bistro on Franklin Avenue in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles known for home-style plates like roast chicken and mussels. the original listing lists the restaurant as La Poubelle Bistro & Bar at 5907 Franklin Avenue with OpenStreetMap-sourced hours of 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. daily, suggesting a still-active listing. A site check on 2026-09-08, however, found the restaurant's own domain, lapoubellebistro.com, returning an HTTP 404 error with no page content. These two signals conflict, and no additional dated source was reached to resolve which one currently reflects the restaurant's status, so no closure or continued-operation claim is made here.
