About this place

Philippe The Original is a Los Angeles landmark and one of the city's essential food destinations, famous for French dip sandwiches served in a sawdust-floored dining room near Union Station. It is the kind of place where a simple sandwich carries a century of city history.

Trivia

Philippe claims to be one of the originators of the French dip sandwich, and Goldbelly identifies it as the birthplace of the French Dip.

Visiting tips

Counter lines move quickly. Add the house mustard carefully; it is famously sharp.
