The best restaurants The United States Of America

This is Clint Eastwood's restaurant. The setting is friendly and wooded, even rustic. The hunter's type with its boar heads and its frames straight out of a western movie, one would almost think one was in a saloon. A fireplace is installed outside and manages to give character to a dinner by the fire. The menu includes American specialties such as grills, sandwiches and salads as well as classic Mexican dishes. Prices are relatively reasonable. Keep an eye out for the famous owner who drops by from time to time.

A very nice restaurant, just like the neighborhood. The setting is warm and colorful, with walls lined with Virgins and cult objects of all kinds. The Caribbean cuisine will excite your senses. Try the Cha-Cha-Cha steak sandwich at lunch and splurge on the tapas. The side dishes are also delicious: plantains, tortillas, aioli... Be careful, in the evening, no reservation is possible, you will have to wait at the bar for at least one hour (especially on weekends). While waiting for a place to be freed, enjoy the sangria which flows here in flood!

Although Café Gratitude is the second to open its doors in Los Angeles - in 2012 - its values come to us from the San Francisco Bay Area. The company's promise: vegan, environmentally-friendly and tasty dishes. And they've kept their promise, with a menu as healthy as it is delicious, featuring bowls, salads, sandwiches, smoothies and juices. We like this address for its pretty patio and its location, a 10-minute walk from Venice Beach, but the chain is also established in the small Larchmont district.

Sears Fine Food is a city institution that was founded in 1938 by a Swedish family. People come here mainly for the gargantuan breakfast, based on waffles, swedish pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, or omelets accompanied by bacon, salmon or sausages. Come early in the morning to avoid the long line of visitors. You can also have lunch and dinner there, with meatloaf, chowder and other grilled meats on the menu. Don't forget to listen during your meal, you can hear the cable car passing by!

A funny name for a café! Originally, this cigar store served just one type of sandwich. Demand was so great that the number and types multiplied. Nowadays, hot sandwiches are the most popular. The meatball sandwich is very famous here, to be enjoyed with a good glass of California red wine. We like the character of this place, which is a welcome change from standard addresses. The music also contributes to the warm atmosphere.

This Italian restaurant is often referred to as one of the best places in California. It is true that you will not be disturbed: 7 tables only, with some outdoor tables for the summer, candles everywhere, wine list and tempting menu. It is therefore preferable to reserve some time in advance. They ask you to double confirm your arrival. The signature dish of the great chef is to be tried: the eggplant pancakes filled with smoked salmon, a delight! For dessert, we recommend the white chocolate ice cream. Notice to food lovers!

Tony Gemignani is a thirteen-time world pizza champion! As a result, you'll often have to wait almost half an hour to sample the wonders of this San Franciscan pizzaiolo. Let the hostess know that you'd like to eat at the bar, so the wait is shorter. Or take a slice of pizza to go at the dedicated counter on the street. The pizzas are delicious, and seem to come straight from Naples, both in inspiration and in the products used. Tony has also mastered the art of pastas and tiramisu.

This new California-style seafood restaurant is located in Pacific Heights. Specialties include oysters, crabs and mussels to take away or eat in, crispy sandwiches (bay shrimp and avocado, crabmeat rolls). The fish tacos with choice of black beans and pico de gallo are delicious, as is the San Franciscan Cioppino with mussels, clams, crab, cod, shrimp and scallops.) Everything is very hearty, so don't bite off more than you can chew. The dining room is pleasant and bright, and prices are reasonable.

A plus for this restaurant's location in the heart of Old Sacramento, with a lovely sunny terrace facing the yellow bridge over the river. The view is amazing and the prices very affordable. The sandwiches are hearty and accompanied by homemade chips. There are also great salads, and American classics like the lobster mac & cheese, a perfect blend of flavors. A special weekend brunch is also available, at a slightly higher price but with excellent quality. Inside, the decor is simple, but you'll come for the view.

A stone's throw from a beautiful but often crowded beach in the summer, the establishment offers all-day dining in a rustic, mountainous atmosphere with logs and wooden floors (if you'd forgotten that Lake Tahoe is a - very large - mountain lake at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, the reminder is ever-present). The service is quick and attentive, however. The food is hearty and of good quality, with mostly American specialties on the menu. A good place to take a long break.

If you want to taste dim sum - small steamed ravioli - worthy of the best Hong Kong restaurants, this is the chain for you. The preparations are of a rare finesse, the flavors fragrant, flowery, surprising... From noodles to wontons, every dish is a success. What's more, while the desserts are far from traditional, the way they are revisited is highly successful, with chocolate and mochi xiaolongbaos topping the list. You'll also find addresses in Costa Mesa, Los Angeles and San Diego.

More than a restaurant, it's a concept. Sitting in the pretty courtyard for the evening session, you'll enjoy fine food while sneaking glimpses of auteur films (Fellini, for example) projected on the large raw concrete wall. If you choose to stop by before dark, you'll enjoy the room's concrete and fireplace decor, very post-industrial chic. On the menu, local oysters and fish served in a spicy sauce have a special place. A unique atmosphere.

If you want to try a gourmet version of tacos, with original compositions, this is the place to stop. From a simple street stand, Tacolicious has become one of the most respected names in the Bay Area, with three restaurants in SF and one in Palo Alto. Its success is guaranteed by a simple but original menu, and a brunch that is always besieged by lovers of huevos divorciados. No burritos ("too Tex-Mex" according to the owner), but chorizo, fish and chicken tacos!

Opened in the 1980s, Madeo Ristorante is a true Italian restaurant. The reputation of this elegant establishment is due in part to the unique family atmosphere that reigns in the kitchen and in the dining room. The cuisine is also a rich source of inspiration. The carpaccio, the gnocchi with pesto, and the fish soup are all prepared and served to perfection. The clientele is made up of agents, producers, actors and doctors working at the famous Cedars-Sinai Hospital, which is located nearby. A sure bet!

The izakaya is a kind of aperitif with tapas, Japanese version. It is the Japanese equivalent of Hawaiian puppets accompanied by cocktails. The large Hawaiian community of Japanese origin loves it and so do the many Japanese tourists! It may well be that you will find yourself surrounded by Japanese people. The Gaku has become the reference in izakaya in Oahu. The chef prepares all the dishes in front of the customers and it's excellent. Try the "oyster shot", from oysters to iced sake: a pure pleasure.

This restaurant has a sophisticated and contemporary look with its minimalist décor. Businessmen are scrambling to sign contracts in this bright setting. In the evening, there will be an intimate dinner with an international and local clientele. We will serve you a modern French cuisine. The very careful presentation and service make the Café des architectes a top-of-the-range restaurant. Your taste buds will be delighted, and if you continue with the farandole of desserts, between crème brûlée and macaroons, it will be the icing on the cake.

This building, saved in extremis in 1979, houses a pub that serves a rustic and delicious cuisine. On the ground floor, the pub, which seems to be straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, with its glossy bar and old stone fireplace. Upstairs is a more classic and chic dining room for evening meals. The barman has an excellent reputation, just look at the crowd that crowds the counter. Reservation recommended.

Alexandre Trancher, a French chef and former chef of the Tour d'Argent, is in charge. The creativity of the dishes is exceptional and the products 100% made in France. So, yes, it's a bit expensive but frankly, in France, it would easily be equivalent to a 2 Michelin star, so it's really worth the price. On the tasting menu, you can taste a duck foie gras, lacquered with red beet juice flavored with raspberries; roasted scallops, cuttlefish leaves, orange beurre blanc and caviar grains and lobster, basil gnocchi.

We love the atmosphere of a small restaurant with a retro look, with its long counter and metal stools. The jukebox at the bottom runs continuous 1960s hits unless the bartender chooses to play a vinyl on the turntable behind the bar. Dove's Luncheonette's cuisine, opened in 2014, is inspired by soul food from the southern United States but with Mexican accents. Every day of the week, until 5pm, dishes are offered at attractive prices. Tuesday, for example, is burrito while Thursday is burger!

It's hard to miss the fluorescent graffiti that covers the front of this Mexican taco restaurant. Once inside, the decor does not disappoint and goes hand in hand with the exterior. Here, the tacos take center stage: with fish, vegetables or meat... A dozen varieties are offered, so don't hesitate to order an assortment to taste as many as possible! They are all delicious and at affordable prices. There is a cocktail bar upstairs and an outdoor patio, perfect for the nice days.

Renowned as one of Vermont's finest tables, Hen of the Wood exudes a rustic and elegant atmosphere. The menu changes according to the fresh produce of the market and also offers a superb selection of local cheeses.

The chef has a gift for accommodating vegetables that are unlikely or even unknown in France, such as kale or mustard leaves. The wine list is very complete, with Italian, French and American terroirs.

Here is one of the best tables d'hôtes in Massachusetts where you come to enjoy a unique gastronomic interlude. Chef Jason Bond has won numerous awards from various culinary critics. Growing up in a family of ranchers and foresters, Jason is close to nature and the seasons, and this is reflected in his cuisine. We love the warm atmosphere of the place, set up like a cottage. The chef prepares every dish from A to Z and, in order not to get bogged down in routine, the menu changes every day. The staff is smiling and friendly.

This is the signature restaurant of the very chic Peninsula Chicago Hotel, which offers Cantonese specialities in a warm 1930s decor with soft lighting. During the summer, you can dine outside on the terrace, which offers a sublime view of the city. The menu offers traditional dishes such as Dim Sum or lacquered duck but always revisited with contemporary creativity. As for drinks, don't forget to order one of the cocktails on the menu, they are almost all equally tasty. Nice address, perfect for a tête-à-tête.

Since 2003, Chef Michael Tusk has been managing this Michelin-guided restaurant (last time in 2017). The restaurant also regularly arrives at the top of the hit-parades of California establishments. It serves Californian cuisine with Italian influences, prepared based on seasonal and local ingredients. The menu is "imposed" by the chef, and we like to be guided by such an expert hand! A true delight for both eyes and papillae.

Chinese food lovers, here you are. In this authentic and unpretentious restaurant, the flavors of the Middle Kingdom deploy in your plate with their thousand delicate fragrances, their undulating aromas and outstanding flavors for the western palace. Corn soup and dim sum are particularly recommendable. A charming service, no sleeves, in a quiet setting with a quiet light, as a parenthesis over time. Forget your glass of wine, order a teapot and dive into delicate, diverse and exotic flavors of Chinese cuisine…

A heartbeat for this Australian address west of the Sunset Boulevard. Eveleigh occupies a building dating back to 1923, which is ideal for the most charming stopover, with its rustic interior, breathtaking views and aromatic aromatic herbs. The place is unanimous for brunches on the weekend.

Bistro Central Park is ideally located in the heart of NOPA, one of the city's new popular neighbourhoods, within walking distance of the Golden Gate Park. In its image, the hotel offers a truly modern cuisine full of surprises. The real experience will be at the bar: order specials, plats-dishes-dessert. Also on the map: onion soup, mignon filet, risotto to the Saint James, and bouillabaisse of the chef who comes from Marseille! Jacques and his team have elegantly associated French traditional cuisine with the San-Franciscan dynamism, and the effect is guaranteed: you will come back to it! Also ideal for a weekend brunch.

Heart for the home made sandwiches of this shop in wines and cheese. A small price and extra fresh ingredients: olive oil and organic balsamic vinegar, dried tomatoes, Parmesan, quenelle, avocados. The hotel is located in Larchmont Village, south of Hollywood.

After a quarter of an hour (by car, rather half an hour by tram and foot) after the Old Square, you will see a brick facade, but decorated with frescoes by the painter Martin LaBorde. Upperline is a music and graphic arts palace as well as a culinary spectacle. All that is best in Creole cuisine is formidably successful by chef Dave Bridges, born here in New Orleans. The menu is a true summary of what is divinely good in Louisiana's cuisine cuisine, such as shrimp bisque or massive and tartar to shrimp. The subtle touch of spices and original sauces.

JoAnn Clevenger, owner of the restaurant, will take care of you and exchange a few words with you! A real character, not taking seriously, she says it takes at least once a day to give up and make the crazy to redo full energy. The positive energy that emerges when you cross it! Coming from an extremely besogneux farm family, she decided to elect home in New Orleans, falling in love with the Old Square, her characters and her vitality. Without a penny, she took the risk of opening the Upperline restaurant in 1983. Soon, he was fascinated by criticism and received many awards, but JoAnn had a lot of passion and stubbornness to make it a profitable business. Passionate about literature, painting, music and human relations, she is a true cultural ambassador, who keeps up-to-date with the Fiche (best-of) artistic and literary lagniappe of New Orleans, which she makes available to amateur clients. In the restaurant is exposed all that the city has recognized artists and amounts.

This successful little French bistro has expanded, taking on the allure of a Parisian establishment. Thanks to this new space, the wine and beer lists have been extended, and the crêpes, as good as ever, are wonderfully accompanied by these Californian and European nectars. Both sweet and savoury crepes are recommended, and for breakfast you can enjoy pastries, a good baguette, a croissant or a nice fruit salad. It's a French-style treat, but it's only open until lunchtime.

One of the most popular restaurants in Waikiki. A magical setting with a terrace overlooking the Outrigger beach where the tikis (Hawaiian torches) are lit at night. Tropical decoration and Hawaiian music. The walls are covered with photos of the famous surfing champion, Duke Kahanamoku (1890-1968). Hawaiian and American specialties on the menu. The best plan for small budgets is the "Barefoot Bar", upstairs, where you can sip cocktails and eat large plates of pupus (salty snacks), salads, sandwiches. A sure value!

New Hawaiian cuisine by celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi, who has some 30 locations around the world! The one in Waikiki is his very first, and it's worth a visit for that reason alone. Roy's secret is the successful fusion of all the culinary influences of Hawaii's mixed population, from Asia to Polynesia. It's expensive, but it's top-notch Hawaiian cuisine. We recommend the Al fresco menu with starter, main course and dessert, even if it means adding a few side dishes to taste everything.

This place is a real institution in Minneapolis, so it is best to book. We come here mostly for brunch, with music on the weekends. The menu is varied and the prices are affordable; we highly recommend the "caramel rolls", a fondant caramel pastry with pecans and cinnamon. Wild rice porridge is a must, a local specialty. On Sundays, we serve you brunch in your pajamas! The name Hell's Kitchen evokes the warmth of the stoves and the pressing atmosphere of the morning.

Here's a café with an unusual decor, inspired by Mexico and India, and a warm welcome. The service is relaxed and pleasant. The owner and his wife, inveterate travelers, have created this unusual place as a refuge for all those who need to get away from it all. At the back of the room, guidebooks are lined up alongside art books and other travel accessories. You'll feel at home at first sight, and when you're served a delicious coffee, omelette or sandwich, you'll enjoy total well-being.

In a very Route 66 atmosphere and decor, they serve you burgers, soups, salads, sandwiches but also desserts that smell like the fifties... It is necessary to say that the place was at the same time a café and a gas station during the years 1950-1960. So you can really feel that era while tasting your meal. They also serve hearty breakfasts for a small fee. The waitresses also play the game fully and are ready to describe all the dishes without begrudging! Beware: the place is very crowded at meal times.

Rod's Steak House opened in 1946, during the heyday of Route 66. The sign in the shape of an ox clearly shows the specialty of the house. The animal is served there in all its forms or almost. You can, for example, taste liver prepared the old fashioned way or excellent beef ribs. All main courses include a soup of the day or a green salad as well as baked potatoes, French fries or green beans. The establishment was temporarily closed in 2022, with no announced reopening date.

At the helm are Kelly McCown and Randall Selland, who create five-course menus each month based on seasonal produce and inspiration. The mastery of Californian terroir is perfect here, as is the mastery of Japanese cuisine, which often adds a little kick to the menu. A great team accompanies the chefs and assures you to spend an unforgettable moment.

The concept of this friendly restaurant: pasta, a few side dishes, and all prepared right in front of the customers - to admire the chefs, have a seat at the big counter. Here, classic Italian dishes are served, prepared to perfection. The tortellini in brodo, for example, is a resounding success: neither too salty nor too lightly salted, the meat broth is of rare finesse, highlighting the impeccable al dente cooking of the pasta. Also worth mentioning are the famous tagliatelle cacio e pepe, brilliantly executed.
