Orso
March 25th, 20078706 W Third St, Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 274-7144
Good Italian food is relatively hard to find in LA, so this restaurant is a great find. The portions are huge, which is strange considering this is a mid- to high-end restaurant. Be sure to make reservations, and try to get seated in the outdoor patio. Celebrity […]
Lucky Devils
March 11th, 20076613 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, CA 90028
(866) 492-0002
The tasty, meaty Kobe beef burgers are the reason to eat at Lucky Devils, which also has a huge selection of European beers (both on tap and in bottles). You can’t beat that combination. Be prepared to leave very full because the burgers are large and because you’ll order […]
Tuk Tuk Thai
June 24th, 20068875 W. Pico Blvd Los Angeles, 90035
(310) 860-1872
A small, cozy Thai restaurant with great curries and unique Thai-style appetizers and dishes. Their pad see ew is also good, although their pad thai isn’t. The best thing you can do is order their mango and sticky rice dessert — the sweetest rice, the softest mangos…seriously, words […]
Breadbar
June 24th, 20068718 West Third Street Los Angeles, CA 90048
(310) 205 0124
Not really a restaurant, but more of a bread market that serves breakfast and lunch, Breadbar makes some of the best and freshest breads and baguettes around. Their breakfast omelettes are unique, and make sure to get a bag of what they call “Wall Street”, little […]
AOC
May 30th, 20068022 W 3rd St, Los Angeles, 90048
(323) 653-6359
An incredible restaurant with a huge wine and cheese selection, and tasty tapas. Make absolutely sure you get the bacon-wrapped dates as an appetizer, and don’t be afraid to ask the wait staff for recommendations.
Wood Ranch BBQ & Grill
May 29th, 2006189 The Grove Dr #Y80 Los Angeles, CA 90036
(323) 937-6800
This is a good place to go for large steaks, awesome sides, and good beer. Watch out, though, because it’s busy on the weekends.
Annapurna Cuisine
May 29th, 200610200 Venice Blvd, Culver City, 90232
(310) 204-5500
Good vegetarian Indian food at good prices. Their chana masala (garbanzo beans in sauce) is great, as is their vegetable korma, both of which come with bread, not rice — although you can get rice, too. Nice, friendly people run and own the place, which is a nice touch.
Indo Cafe
May 29th, 200610428 1/2 National Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90034
(310) 815-1290
Indonesian food is hard to describe, but don’t worry because it’s nothing weird; it’s a nice cross between Thai, Chinese, and Indian. Whatever it is, it’s definitely among the tastier Asian cuisines, and you should try Indo Cafe if you’re hungry and in the area. Be sure […]
Malibu Seafood
April 3rd, 200625653 Pacific Coast Hwy Malibu, CA 90265
(310) 456-3430
If you want to escape the crowds and trendiness typical of most LA restaurants, and also want to eat tasty fresh seafood, take a short drive to Malibu and take a seat at Malibu Seafood. There is no indoor seating, however once you’re there, sit outdoors and enjoy […]
Poquito Mas
March 12th, 20062215 Westwood Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 90025
(310) 474-1998
For fast food Mexican (or, as they like to say, “fresh food, fast”), this place serves some high-quality meals. Make sure to stop by this place if you’re in the area and looking for quick, tasty Mexican food…if you do, you’ll want to go back for poquito mas. […]
Fassica
March 5th, 200610401 Washington Blvd Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 815-8463
If you’re ready to abandon your knife and fork, eat here. They serve spicy food that you eat with injera (traditional Ethiopian bread, kinda like a crepe but spongier). I recommend the doro wat (chicken stew), awaze tibs (spicy beef stew), and lentil stew.
Pacifico’s
April 2nd, 20059341 Culver Blvd Culver City, CA 90232
(310) 883-3197
Fresh seafood and tasty Mexican food come together in this laid back restaurant with a fun, beach-style atmosphere. Even though Pacifico’s is in the middle of Culver City, the outdoor seating area is gated off and contains tables with straw umbrellas, blocking off the nearby streets. You can […]
Paco’s Tacos
March 18th, 20054141 S Centinela Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90066
(310) 391-9616
Hungry? This is the place for you, but be ready for a long wait. Luckily the restaurant provides good chips and salsa in the lobby area, and drinks can be ordered from waiters that stop by. Even better, the drinks are added to your meal check, so […]
