To feel Asian influence in Downtown, nothing like a meal at Orochon Ramen. Ramen is one of the most popular Japanese dishes, consisting of meat or fish pasta broth, seasoned with miso or soy sauce.

Opened in 1934, this little shack at the end of Olvera Street is famous for its taquitos, fluted tortillas filled with red beans and cheese, all accompanied by the house's signature avocado sauce.

On weekdays, the surrounding workers flock here for lunch, so be sure to allow time to wait.

What drew us to the Prince of Venice were the homemade pastas and the adorable little outdoor square with its string lights. Less interestingly, the dining room resembles an Italian diner. On the menu: simple but effective recipes such as bucatini with carbonara, orecchiette with pesto or casarecce with vodka. An address we recommend above all for small budgets, as the plates are extremely copious, so you can easily take one for two, or bet on the takeaway to make two meals out of one dish.

Kismet is one of the landmarks of East L.A. hipsters. We can prove them right, because these little plates to share are simply perfect. Inspired by Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, lemon and sesame chicken, falafel vegans, hummus with pesto and fresh onion and eggplant salads are modern, creative and exquisite. The blond wood decor is refreshing and the minimalist atmosphere enhances these well-crafted dishes.

Established in 2014 with the sole aim of supplying bread and acting as a cellar for restaurants Gjelina and GTA, Gjusta has quickly converted into an excellent deli . It offers good farmhouse bread, divine sandwiches - with pastrami at the top - fine charcuterie, smoked fish, homemade Parmesan fries, grilled vegetable platters, roast chicken, freshly squeezed fruit juices...

The façade of Hotel Casa del Mar, extending along the beach of Santa Monica, attracts all the views. The cuisine takes advantage of California, French and Asian influences to prepare excellent seafood dishes. The windows, high from the floor to the ceiling, overlook the sea and offer a magnificent view to the sunset.

Take time to sit at the bar, shucking Santa Barbara shrimp or enjoying lobster rolls with lemon aioli and celery, before being seated at your table. Aside from oysters and other seafood, Son of A Gun serves fine, meticulous preparations that remind us that we're near the ocean. Good value for money.

A jewel of Japanese cuisine that takes us by surprise in a place where we least expect it: this is Sushi Ike. Lost in the middle of amini mall on a street corner like thousands of others in Los Angeles, the front of this little restaurant doesn't look like much, but what a shame not to cross the threshold! From sushi to rolls and sashimi, all the dishes are of the highest quality, fair, fine and fresh. A true paradise for lovers of "real" sushi, the kind you find in Japan.

A lot of people, a lot of noise, the atmosphere is very friendly. You can dine in one of the rooms, at the bar or on the terrace overlooking the marina. The large number of tables makes it possible to accommodate all the fine palates in search of new flavours.

This restaurant is closely linked to Arnold Schwarzeneger who is the manager. Knowing that it comes from time to time, we cannot help looking for it. His fans will appreciate the posters of his films at the walls. The vaulted room and shaded terrace make it a popular restaurant of the. The kitchen is California, pasta, pizza, with of course, keys… Austrian, including the inevitable Bière beer!

His situation is such that we want to stop there. Facing the ocean, slightly behind the hill, the place breathes strength, just from the angle of these two places to magic names: Sunset Boulevard and Pacific Palisades. Considered to be one of the most famous restaurants of the entire coast. American classic kitchen, fish and seafood.

La Parrilla has been in existence for 30 years and has had time to perfect his kitchen. We come here for his parrilladas and his brochetas. The pollito in pipián (young chicken seed seed) is also a more in the menu. Happy hours are still very user-friendly; We love the patio where you can enjoy your meal at ease. La Parrilla is also an original address for the weekend brunch.

In a typical, trendy West Hollywood decor, we serve delicious international cuisine with Italian accents. The patio is pleasant but unfortunately quickly taken. Perhaps because, as often in the neighborhood, the interior looks particularly noisy.

Tom and Spoon, two people in Venice, decided one day that they wanted to create a place where they could recover with local and organic products, while remaining on the beach. Venice Ale House was born some time later. This cozy restaurant serves healthy and organic cuisine, but also exquisite local and local beers. Ideal to admire the sunset on the beach during an appetizer between friends.

One of the latest members of the Third Wave Coffee movement in Silver Lake has settled in one of these developing streets, Hoover Street.

Also on the menu: a few desserts, such as cookies, granola, vegan apple pie and lavender shortbread.

Inventive, trendy and healthy cuisine that favors local products specializing in breakfast and brunch.

The dinner at Hugo is good, but it comes with breakfast and brunch, prepared with organic ingredients. Scrambled, pancake and vegetarian eggs combine perfectly with a refined cocktail, such as Mangorita. The trophy returns to Pasta Mama and Pasta Papa, two of the most addictifs pasta dishes.

Located on the Walk of Fame, this small, unpretentious Japanese restaurant is worth a visit for its attractive rolls card. The compositions are particularly well cared for. You will surely find your happiness between the classic rolls, the rolls cooked in frying and those filled with meat or cooked fish. The terrace is very noisy, because it gives directly onto the boulevard. You can dine at the bar to see the masters at work!

The pins never stop turning to Zankou. Roasted chickens are cooked daily, for tasting on site or to take away. Tarna, shish kebab and falafel: whether hot or cold, Zankou chicken, seasoned with spices, is full of intense aromas. A good address for the gourmands in the small budget.

Established in 1925, Lobster was originally a small restaurant with 60 seats and up to types of fish. In 1989, the small shop leaves out to the great dam of the inhabitants. After a long decade, the Lobster finally reopened in 1999 and became a renowned place with history. The chowder clam is delicious and the seafood is well cooked, but it is true that you come here to admire the sun on the pier of Santa Monica.

French fries and coleslaw accompany the sandwiches at reasonable prices. A wide choice of organic beers completes the menu. The interior design is very nice, we sit on very long benches around very large tables... while the DJ plays records.

The place doesn't look like much, but the tacos are excellent, and that's all that matters. The choice is wide: with birria (goat cheese), camaron (fried shrimp), not to mention chorizo. Tacos of all kinds are served with a delicious sauce. Police officers, eccentrics of the Walk of Fame and employees of the surrounding businesses come to be satisfied there at any time of the day. Cactus is open until 3:30 am on weekends, for the long Hollywood nights.

There's noise, it's shown, there's always scenes at the bar, it's expensive and everyone has fun in Mastro's. For some years now, it's the number One location of Beverly Hills where it's good to be seen. This is largely due to its excellent cuisine. Steaks, cocktails, potatoes and spinach are all prepared with a master's hand and served in large portions. Here you can see movie stars and victims of plastic surgery.

We would like all neighbourhood restaurants to be so refined. The menu is inspired by the Santa Monica farmer market and changes every month. The list of wines has been carefully designed, but the price is paid. Artisanales beer also has their sommelier, which is why it is just as impossible to choose at the time of order. Here, everything is organic and everything is good!

Michael McCarty opened this restaurant on his behalf in 1979; it then influences Californian cuisine and becomes the leader of the fusion movement. He was among those who popularized the alliance of goat cheese with arugula and caramelized onions. He is also among the first to have deign taken California's wines seriously. Today Michael seems to have remained stuck in his golden age. A small lifting of the menu would not hurt anyone. The breakfast on its terrace is simply a necessity. Artists, writers, actors and all those who can afford it come here.

The name says everything. This restaurant is an institution where traditional dishes from the South of the United States are served. Fried chicken, waffles and other dishes full of fat and sugar: we know it's bad for health, but it's so good! With good value for money, this formula attracts local musicians, the Afro-American community (especially families) and young students.

This tiny local on Main Street is the first and only southern California to specialize in the omusubi, a small ball of rice filling meat or vegetables very popular in Japan. This is a little the equivalent of the sandwich for our Japanese counterparts. Everything is fresh and cooked on demand using mainly local products. Count between two and four omusubi depending on your appetite.

The particularity of this place is that you will never find the door closed. Since 1924, the institution has never ceased its activity, day and night. Most servers, exclusively male, have been there for 20 years or more, and are an integral part of the site. A kind of large family canteen, with all that this entails positive: a good classic kitchen, served generously… It follows naturally that the Pantry has some records of consumption: for example, 20 steers per day are needed to satisfy the demand for steaks! Moreover, the menu changes every day. Their motto: Never closed, never without a customer, "Never closed, never without a customer".

This address does not need to make tons to impress, since it is already in a "castle", the one of the stars. It is indeed in this hotel that many celebrities from all over the world stay when they come to L.A.; the restaurant, accessible to everyone, is therefore full of famous heads. The cuisine is rustically inspired (duck confit with mushrooms, beef bourguignon, sea bass...) but remains elegant. Even if, in the end, no one really comes here exclusively to eat. We go to Le Marmont to be seen, especially if we work nearby, in Hollywood for example. Prices are not as high as we think.

This chain specialized in bagels has been implanted across the country. It is interesting to go, not for the frame (rather sober and impersonal) but to try different kinds of bagels. You can enjoy onion, garlic, potato, sesame, but also cranberries, cinnamon, honey or pumpkin. All are fresh and made on-site.

This is a very pleasant place, where you can enjoy a delicious espresso and small dishes to eat on or off. Some people have created their own dishes, which are not à la carte but they can be asked. Ideal in the morning for breakfast or a terrace brunch, or even for the mid-afternoon creux, because the pastries are excellent.

It is one of the institutions in the neighbourhood. The menu wants America old school (shrimp cocktail, chicken pie, meatloaf), and it attracts the Hollywood creative band. It's just if you don't place clients according to their degree of influence in the film industry. Cobb and Caesar salads are recommended.

Noé, located inside the Omni Hotel, has won the heart of the Downtowners by playing the map of sophistication. The dishes are not only delicious but also served with great elegance. The menu displays fixed prices that are justified by the service and quality of the French cuisine. The restaurant and its lounge are the public favorite venues for Walt Disney Concert Hall and Music Center.

Established since 1993 at Farmer's Market and Santa Monica since 2008, Marcel has become the fine reference grocery store in Los Angeles for all products from France and the Mediterranean. In addition to its numerous cheeses from all regions, its spices and condiments, oils of various origins, the grocery store offers a wine cellar where you will find your happiness. You will find your fresh bread and the best growing of L.A. You can also replace fresh croissants with homemade fresh pastries. A restaurant offers dishes and fresh dishes with a glass of wine or a rich breakfast to eat on site.

The chef's office comes from gastronomic cuisine. He decided to open this pub to start the creation of the best hamburger on earth. Come test by yourself! Among its hot breads, beef is crowned with roquefort, bacon and caramelized onions. The bar has only very few tables, but the tail often rises in front of the door. Selection of beers varies with seasons: one more reason to wait. On the other hand, since alcohol is forbidden under the age of 21, we will have to leave the children at home!

The CUT restaurant is located inside the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, with the design of Richard Meier. The other big name associated with this site is the excellent chef, Wolfgang Puck, who has made up a menu of recipes from all over the world, all with steaks and seafood. Prices are expensive, but experience is worth a detour: The service is exceptional and the restaurant's clientele is the epitome of the Hollywood spirit.

The Belgian brand has been established worldwide, both in large French cities and in Los Angeles. It is not just an elegant bakery: The Daily Bread offers delicious French pastries and pastries, but also copious seasonal salads, soups and gourmet sweets.

The dinner menu is also typically American: mac & cheese, grilled chicken, pan-fried salmon, tacos...
