Review:

Philippe The Original is one of Southern California’s oldest and best known restaurants, and is the home of the original “French-Dipped” Sandwich – Philippe’s specialty.

Get yours made with beef, pork, ham, lamb, or turkey. Or, if you’re not in the mood for a French Dip, they also offer soups, salads, and desserts.

Classic American breakfast is served daily, as well. Philippe’s has a rich history that dates back to 1908, when Philippe Mathieu founded the place and later accidentally invented the French Dip Sandwich. Philippe The Original is located in downtown Los Angeles, a block away from Union Station.
