AKA An American Bistro

EatLA-1739

La Frite Cafe

EatLA-1740

WHY Satisfying French bistro fare without having to go over the hill.

Son of a Gun

EatLA-1785

WHY Because you never know when the urge for a terrific, if Lilliputian, lobster roll (creamy and a bit spicy, stuffed into a warm, butter-grilled roll) will hit.

La Cava

EatLA-1881

Studio City

We’ll admit it: Ventura Boulevard lacks the cachet of such other important streets “over the hill” as Wilshire and Sunset. The main surface artery through the San Fernando Valley has long, utterly forgettable stretches lined with strip malls, auto dealerships and low-end motels. However, as Ventura heads into Studio City, it’s studded with some of [...]

Natas Pastries

EatLA-1904

WHY For the chance to explore the rich flavors of authentic Portuguese cooking. WHAT Known for its traditional Portuguese pastries, Natas now has a full-on restaurant. You could be in Lisbon—the charming room, entirely lined in crisp blue-and-white tile, is one of the few places in town to sample dishes like caldeirada, a seafood stew, [...]
