The best restaurants Los Angeles And Its Surroundings

As its name suggests, the International House of Pancakes offers pancakes of all kinds for the gourmet. Even if quantity is more important than quality (an assortment includes 4 huge pancakes), IHOP is a popular franchise that has succeeded in establishing itself throughout the United States and a few other countries. The main interest is to be able to taste unusual flavours such as pumpkin pancakes, white chocolate and raspberry pancakes.

This adorable coffee house is located in a charming Victorian-inspired house. It is pleasant to take a snack break on the porch in the late afternoon with pastries and coffee lattes. The interior is also very warm, with its upholstered chairs and lamps with warm lights. The coffee shop is adjacent to the Home Restaurant also run by Rose and Aram Serobian.

Frida Mexican Cuisine expresses the diversity of Mexican cuisine in an intimate and modern atmosphere. This place welcomes both UCLA students for Happy Hours and a variety of lunch and dinner. The dishes are authentic and rich. Among other things, we come to taste the very famous margaritas or the Frida Platter, the special base of the chef composed of taquitos, crousitllant chicken and guacamole.

Far from Santa Monica's pimpantes addresses, this Mexican restaurant is not in the presentation but in the taste! It quickly became one of the most popular addresses of the corner to taste taco, burrito and or. The ingredients are fresh and hearty. A nice patio.

It is perched on the 71st floor of the US Bank Tower that this chic and trendy hotel opened in 2016. With its breathtaking view, it is the highest restaurant in the United States west of Mississippi. In a design environment, we eat modern and inventive American cuisine. The long selection of cocktails and wines is a great choice, especially when you go on a drink to enjoy this exceptional setting, sitting in large, vintage sofas. Reservation strongly recommended.

The most famous English pub of L.A. is located in Santa Monica. More tourism is difficult… but the quality of the kitchen fills everything, and the number of draught beers also: more than varieties. Fish chips are perfectly appropriate, since this pub is half way between the Third Promenade and the Santa Monica coast. If you are in Santa Monica on St. Patrick's Day, it is simply… the place to be. A very British place for those nostalgic for the old continent but also for the compulsive revellers!

American barbecue lovers, be served! These sandwiches bursting with exquisite grilled meat make you salivate. The street food gourmet barbecue version.

This is probably one of the best addresses on Melrose, where both the menu and the atmosphere lend themselves equally well to brunch, coffee or lunch. Slightly off the street, access to the restaurant is via the adjacent parking lot. Once inside, the smiling, friendly welcome makes you want to settle in, while the décor and ambience invite you to make yourself comfortable, both on the large terrace and in the whitewashed wooden interior. From typical Italian dishes to freshly baked pastries, everything is good.

This friendly little chain specializes in pub-style burger joints, with a fine selection of local and international craft beers, both draught and bottled. Comprising just a dozen meat burgers, the menu also offers a number of carefully thought-out vegetarian alternatives. Special mention goes to the Goombash, with smoked mozzarella, parmesan flakes, crispy prosciutto and basil-lemon aioli. A real delight!

The particularity of this address is that it is not fixed. Yellow Paper Burger is a delicious food-truck, which we follow thanks to its Instagram account: every week, it parks in a new location, usually in unusual, ephemeral or versatile places. The recipe for success: everything on the burgers, which come in two formulas, single or double. They are served in buttered buns with mayonnaise, chopped peppers, pickles, lettuce, tomato and onions. Grilled cheese is extra.

While strolling along the Sunset Strip, west of West Hollywood, don't miss Dialog Cafe. This family-run business is part of the Third Wave Coffee movement, and it shows: the hot beverages are delicious. If there's a queue, the best thing to do is ask for a takeaway and get on with your walk. Otherwise, take the time to sit down and order one of the delicious sweet dishes, such as the healthy acai bowl with oatmeal, or the gourmet mini waffles.

We've fallen in love with this magnificent establishment adjoining the Hollywood Historic Hotel, in the Melrose Hill district. Superb wood and marble bar, red brick walls, hushed atmosphere... The decor is simply stunning. If you can, come between 4pm and 7pm: you'll be able to enjoyHappy Hour, both on a selection of drinks and plates to share. We particularly recommend the charcuterie and cheese board, the house burger and the Mac and Cheese. If you want to enjoy the view, take a seat at the counter.

Poultry, poultry, and... poultry. That's what Howlin' Ray's offers. After tasting "hot chicken" - fried chicken - the specialty of Nashville, Tennessee, chef Johnny Ray Zone had a brainwave: even though he had worked alongside such greats as Thomas Keller, Gordon Ramsay and Nobu Matsuhisa, it was this dish that he wanted to cook and adapt in all its forms. A wish that he first fulfilled through a food-truck, before settling in Chinatown in 2015. An excellent address, not to be missed!

Established in 1908 by Frenchman Philippe Mathieu, this grand old-fashioned diner has been located at the gateway to Chinatown since the 1950s. Its specialty: the French Dipped Sandwich, a sandwich lightly soaked in meat juices and topped with beef, lamb or turkey. It's nothing gourmet, but the macaroni and potato salads, white bean and split pea soups, and apple pie are all reminiscent of the optimistic, good-naturedAmerican way of life of the fifties.

South of Wilshire Avenue, Westwood Boulevard is a long succession of oriental restaurants and stores. Let the aroma of falafels guide you to Sunnin Leban Cafe. Among the specialties, we particularly recommend the moujadarah - a lentil puree prepared with rice and caramelized onions - and the houmous kawarma - with beef fillet. While prices may seem rather affordable, fans of Lebanese gastronomy will quickly run up the bill, curious to try several preparations.
