This American restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2016. At the helm is Chef Gary Danko, who for the past twenty years has been constantly renewing his cuisine in this establishment where the elegance of the setting rhymes with the finesse of the products. The menus, generally inspired by French cuisine, are revisited thanks to the judicious choice of products from the bay, always organic of course. The tasting menu, which offers five courses, allows you to grasp all the nuances of this inventive cuisine. The wine list is also superb

Here is an appropriate option if you really want to restore yourself directly to the Walk of Fame, just a few steps from the famous stars. This faux-old diner with glamor, with its half-circle red leather squares in half circle and black plastic chandeliers, serves huge portions of classic American cuisine, with a few healthy options, such as the kale chale salad and the grenade, very fashionable on the California coast. Burgers are correct - although the meat lacks taste - and sweet potato chips are exquisite.

This small Mexican restaurant full of charm is always full and echoes the accents of the Latin music. Tacos, sopas (soups), tamals (vegetables or meat cooked in banana leaves) are authentic and very tasty.

It's probably one of Los Angeles' most ambitious coffee restaurants, pretentious for some and great for others. Crab eggs or the Deпsweet Potato Pie (sweet potato pie) are among the best items in the menu. Coffee and tea are very carefully selected. Desserts are also full of imagination. L.A. Mill's sober and elegant design makes it a prime address. Ideal for brunch on weekends.

One of Gaslamp's popular addresses, created by the Top Chef in 2009, Brian Malarkey. Since then, this promising young chef has already created 10 restaurants, 5 in San Diego. It is in an industrial design of urban loft that you taste classic American cuisine, revisited through a beer card, wine and very inventive cocktails. The menu is organized by thematic: greens, ocean, ranch, farm. As described in 2011 the Times magazine, in Searsucker the kitchen is entertaining and tasty at a time.

Regularly quoted in the top 100 restaurants in the United States, this restaurant enjoys an exceptional location facing the sea. The place is chic, the kitchen of the innovative chef Trey Foshee, and oriented towards fresh products of the region. The ceviche is not to be missed like the whole dessert card. More than 200 wines, what to delight the amateurs. Try to book your table on the terrace with breathtaking views.

A delightful French address for a gourmet breakfast or snack break. You can recognize Zazie from afar, with its sunny yellow awning. What we love here is the typical terrace. On weekends, customers, often with dogs (as they are allowed), flock here to sample the trout, snails, mussels marinière, steak tartare... And, exceptionally, the management prides itself on paying its employees well, as well as providing them with medical cover, and tells its customers that the tip is already included in the price.

A pretty house with meadows, a sharp roof and an interior just what you need kitsch: No doubt, you're at Peppercorn. Let yourself be tempted by the perfect iron steak.

The best Mexican restaurant in the region. Dos Carlitos is the king of ceviche and tequila (with more than 50 varieties proposed). The interior is warm and the outdoor terrace is ideal for enjoying a margarita à (pomegranate)!

A little little hint still little known, for day after day breakfasts, salad, soup or a delicious sandwich on the thumb. Leslie and his team are really in the little care with the clientele of accustomed people, who love this place!

The Water Grill is certainly the best place to eat seafood in L.A. Here the mix of tastes is the order of the virtuoso. The dishes are mostly based on seafood. The decor of the restaurant and the service do the rest: It is less easy to digest the addition, which will inevitably be salty.

Close to the Hollywood Boulevard but nestled in the quiet side of a nearby street, The Running Goose is a valuable stopover during a day of sightseeing. The patio lights up in the evening around the flames of the central fireplace and dozens of suspended loupiotes. The kitchen follows the trend of Latin fusion with a good dose of creativity, such as with the cod churros (Salt Cod Churros). Most of the herbs and spices used are from the outdoor organic garden. Finally, the Hotel Café is just opposite, it is an excellent option for dinner before attending a concert.

Mony's is a popular address like you love. The. offers a variety of tapas, burrito, or and other Mexican specialties. Order at the counter and lunch side on one of the small tables on the edge of the road. And who says good address, says a lot of people, wait to queue, there are often crowds in the little Salle's room.

Mastro is really the master when it comes to cooking the finest pieces of meat or fish filets. The addition is a bit painful but this restaurant is ideal for a special occasion. We love the elegant and dark decor, the sunset in the distance or the large illuminated tree that occupies the entire courtyard. Some nights a talented pianist plays music. Don't forget to book in advance.

An address that fits well with the "bobo" trend, shyly pointing to LA. Urth Caffe was actually born in 1989 in West Hollywood and has the merit of being the leading organic coffee company in the USA today. The place is also ideal for a quick lunch on the go, 100% fresh with homemade salads and sandwiches or even small smoothies. Angelenos love to take care of their bodies, so they come here on Sundays for a super healthy brunch. Several addresses in town!

The address is located in two locations at the Cordova hotel, the classic restaurant and a little further in a courtyard, the patio area. In both rooms you can find the same Mexican decoration with warm colours, with garlands, lush plants and traditional crafts. It is overcrowded, noisy and festive. Basically, Latin music entrainante. Miguel's Cocina is known for its fish taco, its shrimp empanadas and its margarita house MAISON format.

Located between Santa Monica and Venice, this large modern loft serves as a restaurant, bar, café and bakery-pastry shop, just like that! Different spaces allow you to choose your environment according to your mood, although we recommend one of the three terraces of the restaurant. The kitchen is part of the decor and we have fun observing the skill of the cooks surrounded by steaming pots. The cuisine is typical of what is found in California with some Asian and Mediterranean touches for some dishes. Brunch is the attraction of the week and welcomes a rather trendy clientele but also families. Although there is space, it is advisable to arrive early or to book if you go there on a Sunday.

Restaurant opened in 2012 by chefs Evan and Sarah Rich in a former renovated municipal hall, with exposed beams, wooden work plans and walls in cream tones. On the kitchen side, the ingredients are worked with simplicity, finesse and a hint of originality. Stroke for Mijotée pork chest (belly pork). Take several dishes and share them, this is the best way to explore the inventiveness of the menu. Taste the chips for sardines and cotta coconut coconut. The menu is constantly changing!

This is an important address for a water lunch. For an affordable price, you will enjoy a good Caesar salad or freshly prepared roll lobster. Another positive point: menus designed for children, at US $ 10. It is one of the restaurants offering the most beautiful views of Lake Tahoe, and perhaps you will leave yourself overnight in the adjacent inn, full of charm.

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.

Located in a former container on the edge of the motorway, Gorilla BBQ proposes, despite this peculiar environment of ribs to melt any meat lover. Served with corn bread and beans south, it is hard to resist. You can choose between ribs, beef or chicken stew, or make a mix at all! The tail can be long, and you will have to order it, but it's worth it. And why not take his ribs on the beach for a good picnic?

One of the best Mexican restaurants at Ocean Beach. It's simple, fast, cheap and very good! It includes surfers and travellers from the youth hostel opposite.

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.

This restaurant on lively Polk Street is a fine Californian Mexican fusion address. We love the stylish, colorful setting and the creative cocktails. Its affordable menu features tacos, house-made antojitos (fried Mexican corn tortilla with chili sauce), soups, salads, burritos and fusion dishes. Very appetizing! You can opt for an assortment of tacos (formula of 2 or 3 tacos) to sample everything. Special mention for the braised pork in banana leaves with red onion, cilantro, lime and habanero.

Located upstairs in the Ferry Building, this new restaurant offers Jamaican flavors not so common on the streets of San Francisco. There aren't many dishes on the menu, but they're all delicious, fresh and full of flavor. Starting with the legendary jerk chicken, a braised chicken with a bouquet of 100% Jamaican spices. Of course, there are "patties", meat and vegetable fritters served with fried plantains. But there are also tasty vegetarian ital dishes from the Rasta culture. For a drink, try Jamaican hibiscus

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.

Just a stone's throw from the beach, this small establishment serves only poke, Hawaiian specialties that are as fresh as they are tasty. You can choose from two varieties of fish that change daily, ranging from spicy salmon to soy tuna, sesame octopus and kimchi shrimp. It's Raw Poke Shop also offers good lunch alternatives such as kalua pork, another Hawaiian dish not to be missed. All in all, it's a quality caterer, whose preparations are particularly suitable for a picnic on the sand.

The Argonaut hotel has opened a very nice restaurant with a marine atmosphere, between woodwork and ropes on a brick background. And of course, at the Blue Mermaid they serve seafood: steamed mussels, crab and squid casserole, fish and chips... The selection of wines, beers and cocktails is also up to par. Enough to enjoy with friends or in gallant company before continuing your walk on Fisherman's Wharf. That said, we don't guarantee that you will walk lightly...

It's the wine cellar of Sonoma Valley wineries that don't have the infrastructure to accommodate their customers. The wines on offer are organic or natural, but not exclusively so. The interior room and patio are rather basic, with wood, simple lighting and a shade sail outside, but pleasant. The cuisine is Mediterranean-inspired, using seasonal vegetables from the region. We recommend the spicy eggs with basil and the chicken with broccoli. For wine, Ashanta and Source & Sink are not bad!

This California-based Thai cuisine brand has several restaurants in the state (including one in San Francisco). The Berkeley address is particularly elegant, with Asian-design furniture focusing on wood. On the menu, you'll find daring and delicious proposals: for starters, tom yum granita; for main courses, crab pad thai, beef with yellow coconut curry, volcano cup noodle with braised pork... All accompanied by equally refined creative cocktails.

A quintessential Californian address that only exists in Oakland, with character. Serving both fine cocktails and Mexican-influenced gourmet plates. It's a busy restaurant by day and a lively bar by night. We love the floor, the refreshing chick-yellow and water-green colors, and the sunny bay windows. The à la carte menu features simple, affordable dishes, with veggy, vegan and gluten-free options, prepared with a variety of toppings (seeds, etc.). Brunch at weekends.
