Philippe the Original is a bakery-style restaurant rooted in Southern California, renowned for its signature French Dipped Sandwich. Founded in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, the establishment is historically linked to the creation of this distinctive sandwich, served on a lightly textured French roll and dipped in the roast juices, with optional cheeses and a range of traditional side items. Located in Los Angeles, the restaurant operates within the casual, heritage-oriented segment of the dining industry, offering a menu centered on roast beef, pork, lamb, turkey, or ham encased in its emblematic bread.

The business serves a local customer base in need of classic deli-style fare and a recognizable culinary niche, while extending accessibility beyond regional limits through partnerships that enable nationwide delivery. Its activity includes collaborations with education and e-commerce platforms to support charitable food drives and broader distribution, reflecting a broader community and distribution footprint. Philippe the Original is a small-to-mid-sized operation with a long-standing presence in the Los Angeles dining scene, supported by online access via its website.
