a.o.c.
So delicious and fun, and you won't want to miss the outdoor seating area on this one.
Blue Cow Kitchen & Bar
You have to try the chicken with butternut squash gnocchi. You won’t be disappointed.
Cafe Gratitude Larchmont
Once you get over the hilarious names of the dishes like “ecstatic” and “dazzling” then you'll put some pretty delicious vegan food in your mouth.
Gracias Madre
Definitely one of my favorite bars to grab a drink and enjoy the beautifully done decor. Not to mention the vegan Mexican food is the perfect healthy option for Mexican.
La Boheme
Make sure to grab one of the partitioned booths upstairs so you can enjoy the full beauty of this space while you stuff your face with delicious food.
MESSHALL Kitchen
Their “farm-famed” crispy chicken will melt in your mouth. Plus those craft cocktails are happy hour-worthy.
Plan Check Kitchen + Bar - Sawtelle
Two words: "pig candy." It’s on the blueprint burger for a reason and it’s worth the calories.
Amazing spuds, tuna melts, and wash it all down with an Old Fashioned.
SUGARFISH by Sushi Nozawa | Brentwood
It's called the "trust me" for a reason. Go there and order this and you will not regret it.
Tavern
I mean who doesn’t want to dine in a greenhouse under trees, am I right?
