Restaurants cuisine du monde Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

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!

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.

For this culinary experience, the restaurant asks that you reserve 4 hours of your evening - one-time service. Enjoy this immersion in new American cuisine. 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.

Since 1965, Scoma's has ruled the seafood world. Originally a small 6-table café opened by brothers Al and Joe Scoma to serve breakfast to local fishermen with a beautiful view of the bay, it is now a popular institution for San Franciscans and visitors alike. Scoma's serves generous portions of seafood and fish. One of the specialties is the Lazy Man's Cioppino, a kind of Italian-style bouillabaisse that has made the restaurant famous and will delight your taste buds.

The general opinion of the Angelenos (and ours as well) is that Thai Town's Thai restaurants are frankly mediocre. That's probably why Night + Market Song, this small ultra trendy restaurant located on Sunset Boulevard run by Kris Yenbamroong, is a real hit. This young film graduate chef has no culinary training other than growing up in a family of Thai restaurateurs in L.A. The whimsical, colourful and trendy decoration is the ideal setting to uncork a Thai beer before an evening in the neighbourhood's bars! Surprisingly cheap, Night + Market Song offers an authentic cuisine, with sharp and fresh flavours. Try coconut rice, a sticky rice cooked in coconut milk, and, at lunch, Thai Boxing Chicken, a barbecue chicken traditionally served around Bangkok's boxing rings by street vendors.

In the Venetian's St. Mark's Square, near the canals of a Venice you won't soon forget, this elegant Italian restaurant serves a wide selection of antipasti (sardines, octopus, truffle burrata, bruschetta), pizzas, risottos and pastas, including a good recipe with prawns and garlic. A pleasant place with a large terrace overlooking the square, a 5-meter high ceiling and a kitchen visible from the room. For more intimacy, the restaurant also offers booths for seclusion.

Adjacent to the casino, it reproduces the interior of the great Venetian cafes. All the American classics are available, from hamburgers to cheesecakes. Breakfast, served until 11am, offers a wide choice of dishes including pancakes and waffles. Very convenient to refuel at 4am, after grueling hours spent behind the slot machines or sitting at a poker table. Note that there is another Grand Lux Café at the Palazzo open from 6am to 2am.

This Italian restaurant located in the center of Williams offers pizzas, bruschettas and pastas, very good by the way, but also a whole range of salads and sandwiches. The setting is pleasant and is in the atmosphere of Route 66. A success, with a false air of gas station for the outside terrace and an undeniable retro perfume for the dining room, in a modern and warm setting. Rooftop and patio in season... A delight!

Triple George is the casual grill for the chic residents of Las Vegas, and has been for decades; the black and white photos on the walls attest to this. In a nice authentic setting, you sit in a wooden booth or at the big circular bar to eat good pieces of meat. One of the best restaurants in Downtown, we recommend you come at lunchtime rather than in the evening: the prices are much more affordable and the menu offers more choices, among which is a large selection of appetizing burgers.

Boudin (pronounced "boudine") is a true San Francisco institution. You can taste the famous clam chowder, a creamy clam soup served in a ball ofsourdough bread. The place has certainly become touristy, but it is one of the must-sees of your visit to Fisherman's Wharf. Even though it may seem industrial in terms of the flow, you can feel that everything is fresh. And delicious. There is also a free museum. It's that the origin of the business goes back 160 years!

Conveniently located in the heart of Sonoma, this lovely restaurant is the perfect culinary destination for a romantic dinner or a get-together with friends. You'll have a few delicious dishes to choose from: fresh, simple yet sophisticated cuisine, and an extensive wine list. The multi-level reception room contains a dozen tables. The atmosphere is intimate, with its open kitchen, herringbone roof, and large works of art hanging on the wall. The energy is vibrant and contagious. Remember to reserve your table!

A house dedicated to high quality sandwiches. You have the choice of homemade breads, to which we add toppings(pickles, mayonnaise, lettuce, tomatoes) and different meats and preparations to choose from (turkey, pastrami, tuna, hummus, avocado and cheese...). It's hard to miss, everything is gourmet and prepared with care. You can eat on the spot (also salads, soups and drinks) or take away! Le Déli is located on the first floor of the historic San Benito House, which still serves as a hotel, just as it did in 1905

A delightful setting reminiscent of English tearooms in downtown Pacific Groveert from breakfast to dinner. The menu is inspired by Italy, offering fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches (with a special mention for the eggplant sandwich) and great breakfasts at reasonable prices. As its name suggests, this Victorian building with its pleasantly colored facade is part of the landscape. The staff are very helpful and friendly.

The chef at the helm of this restaurant, Angelo Peloni, serves authentic Italian cuisine. Visitors come for the delicious homemade pasta, the frequently revisited menu - depending on the season - and the extensive wine list. From risotto with gorgonzola and asparagus to fettuccine with black truffle, lasagne Bolognese and Barolo lamb chops, every dish is prepared with care and elegance. And don't miss the delicious desserts, including the unmissable tiramisu.

A more Mexican restaurant? Do you misunderstand! In this small shop there is a kitchen in northern Mexico, different from the rest of the country. The tortilla is made from flour (not maize) and is very fine, and there is also a certain resemblance to the French pancakes. The leaders of the Sonora region are also known to cook the country's best asada meat. It can be said that reputation is respected with meat cooked with a delicious wood fire. For a first one we recommend the very tempting Bean & Cheese Burrito. A superb address for a quick lunch in a family atmosphere.

This lively little Italian restaurant, popular with locals, serves traditional dishes that are far better than most of North Beach's more touristy establishments. You can feel the love in the pots and the character in the food! It's a great atmosphere, with authentic decor and a family team who take great care of their customers. Try the chef's specialty, Polpettine Spaghetti, spaghetti with meatballs and flavors that border on perfection. A fine selection of wines from the Botte region are available to accompany your dish.

This pub is renowned for its delicious British breakfasts every morning. On the menu: muffins, scones, grilled bacon or omelettes. A sure bet, where you can eat at any time of day ( pub grub menu) and where the atmosphere comes alive around the bar. Mondays are open mic night, Tuesdays quiz night, Wednesdays soul music night, Thursdays acoustic night, and at weekends local bands perform regularly. Festive atmosphere and English beers to match! A warm place and a pleasant welcome.

One of the best Mexican restaurants in town. The decor of this great restaurant plunges you into a chic, friendly South American atmosphere. The menu is typical but well thought-out, with tacos, chiles rellenos, burritos and guacamole served with crunchy tortillas. The portions are really big, so don't hesitate to share dishes, and what's more, you'll get to taste a wider choice of specialties. In summer, the large terrace with umbrellas and lanterns is ideal for enjoying a blackberry margarita!

In the heart of Downtown, Maccheroni Republic is renowned for its delicious fresh pasta, made in-house every day. Ravioli with pumpkin, rigatoni with burrata, bigoli with angus and sausage ragout, linguine with seafood - scallops, shrimps and clams - agnolotti filled withosso bucco... More than fifteen recipes in all. Excellent value for money. Plus: the pretty little terrace. All in all, if we had to choose one Italian address in Los Angeles on this type of budget, it would be this one!

Spago features a decorative wall of 7,000 bottles of wine, a patio with a glass roof and an open kitchen with a contemporary feel. It's known for its 100% California specialties, with an emphasis on provenance and quality ingredients. Add a touch of inventiveness and you have one of the most iconic restaurants in Los Angeles, opened by the highly acclaimed Austrian-American chef Wolfgang Puck in 1982. Puck has cooked for several American presidents.

For a successful dinner with a changing menu, tinged with French and Italian influences. An address with the appearance of a Mediterranean bistro, much appreciated by the locals. The cable car that passes by at regular intervals adds a romantic note to this neighborhood restaurant. The cheese platter is served with fruit pastes and the desserts are delicious, like the warm black chocolate pudding with hazelnut ice cream, caramel and chocolate sauce. By the way, all these desserts and ice creams are home made. And the wine list is just as good.

Sanraku is one of Nob Hill's top sushi spots. You can eat there while watching the chefs create their wonders at the bar. If they are not too busy, they will even be happy to chat with you and share their knowledge. The decoration is a mix between contemporary Japanese-inspired posters and old-fashioned American furniture. For those who are allergic to raw fish, the udons, special lunch menus, and the donburis (fish or meat on a bed of rice) are excellent and more economical. A very good address

The kitchen isn't what distinguishes this restaurant from the gastronomic stage in L.A. It is a mixture of traditional architecture and typical Hollywood stories that make the best of Musso & Frank. It was one of the favourite places of Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr. If it is not so frequented by stars, it remains in memories as an old Hollywood institution. Cocktails are also a good argument for coming here. You are discouraged from tasting vegetables or talking with old servers; on the other hand, let's go to the bar where you will certainly enjoy more.

Established in 1908, John's Grill is not only one of the oldest restaurants in San Francisco, it is also the place that Dashiell Hammett chose as a backdrop for his novel The Maltese Falcon. The menu is extensive, you can order an omelette, a (huge and expensive) prime rib, or mussels marinière. But more than to dine, one comes there for a very gangster atmosphere of the 1930s, mythical of the West Coast, and one appreciates to drink there leaning on the bar of the restaurant, while listening to jazz.

A restaurant that surprises by its quality in the desert landscape of Mono Lake. Built in 1922, it was for a long time a fashionable resort welcoming vacationers for musical evenings, fishing parties or boat trips. Today, the Mono Inn remains a good place to eat with a beautiful view of the lake, and a festive atmosphere on summer weekends (barbecue and live music). International cuisine, meat and fish. The menu changes regularly. It is the best place for miles around (which is rather deserted, of course).

Right on the Venice Boardwalk, this charming restaurant is an ideal vantage point for the many artists and misfits that roam the neighborhood. Since it opened in 1978, Fig Tree has been a family-owned neighborhood institution, blending Latin roots with Pacific Rim influences. It has a tempting menu, with a focus on breakfast, between plantain pancakes and chilaquiles. Also on the menu: a dozen or so dishes to be enjoyed at lunch or dinner, ranging from chicken and avocado to burgers.

Walking into a shopping mall, you'd never expect to come across an address like this. But this restaurant has a simple concept: everything here is homemade, using seasonal produce. From burgers and their absolutely delicious fries to superb pasta with pea pesto, healthy salads and all kinds of sandwiches, the dishes are delicate, fresh and tasty. Plus: a fine selection of local beers. Excellent value for money. Finally, a special mention for the warm welcome.

Bottega Louie is a vast space with white marble floors, white walls, and a high ceiling... And white. More than a restaurant, this establishment is an army of cooks who prepare the pizzas and delicious salads on the menu. It's one of Downtown's most fashionable places, as friendly and loud as it is chic. On weekends, the brunch offers a quieter atmosphere, especially since the pastries are to die for. In addition, a new branch has opened in the West Hollywood neighborhood.

A meal at Fogo de Chão is the promise of a feast. This Brazilian restaurant offers a wide selection of meats: filet mignon, lamb, pork chops, or chicken surrounded by bacon served with steak... All roasted on a giant grill. The plus: a spectacular salad bar, with smoked salmon, vegetables and soup - among others. The restaurant is mostly frequented by families celebrating events, so the atmosphere is always festive.

Built in 1903, the building was long a pharmacy before becoming a café during the 1964 hippie movement. Magnolia Gastropub is now known for its Irish pub atmosphere with a rather classic interior design. Numerous draught beers made in-house and frankly good; traditional pub cuisine revisited. The fragrant homemade sausages are particularly worth a visit, as are the classic weekend brunches.

If you're really hungry and want to discover the subtleties of Brazilian cuisine, this is the place for you. However, although the country is the world champion of churrasco - grilled meat - Bossa Nova also serves a fine selection of pastas, salads, pizzas, burgers and bowls. A la carte" specialties include blackened chicken with Cajun sauce and the catch of the day with lemon cream risotto.

Marufuku is a popular ramen restaurant in Japantown, with a very chic, designer Japanese setting, which has even opened other outlets in North Cal (in Oakland and Cupertino in particular). Two star ramen on the menu: the authentic Tonkotsu Hakata ramen, featuring a milky, umami-rich pork broth simmered for hours, with fine artisanal noodles. And Paitan ramen with white chicken chashu, seasoned boiled egg, green onions, kikurage mushrooms and bean sprouts. Excellent izakaya appetizers and quality sake. Delicious and affordable.

Romantrattoria in the colors of La Botte, with a warm atmosphere. Chef Maurizio Bruschi serves a small but tasty selection of recipes taught by his grandmother. Everything here is homemade, from the bread to the fresh pasta, and it's all very well. Special mention goes to the octopus and, in a completely different genre, the tiramisus. There's also a good selection of Italian and Californian wines, mainly from the nearby Sonoma Valley. One of the best Italian restaurants in San Francisco, you can go there with your eyes closed.

Opened by Francesca and Francesco, an Italian couple who met in the United States, Ceci's is the place to go for a packed lunch. While it's possible to sit at one of the small tables outside, the establishment is more like an "upgraded" caterer: ideal for a picnic in Griffith Park, for example, a ten-minute drive away. From a few homemade pastas to desserts and focaccia, the menu is as short as it is tempting. Special mention should be made of the rigatoni bolognese and caciocavallo.

The decor is superb. The kitchen has a turn of strength, with its delicious insensés mixes and its great classics based on lobster and seafood. The whole Los Angeles is getting there. Amateurs, choose from the bar, where the kitchen will be made in front of you. Fascinating!

Since 1994, the Walnut Avenue Cafe has been a Santa Cruz institution, especially for its famous breakfast and weekend brunches. Locals flock there to get a coffee to go or to taste the nine-grain pancakes . The various omelets and eggs Benedict are also frighteningly good. A sweet mix of flavors between Mexico and California. The interior is relaxing and the terrace is large and sunny. A nice address, in the heart of the city, for brunch lovers. Beware of the crowds on weekends.

Located on the ruins of the house that Orson Welles built for Rita Hayworth, the Nepenthe is as legendary as the couple. The restaurant is cosy but, curiously, the food is honest, without more. You can have a steak and French fries for about thirty dollars. In the evening it is a little more expensive, about fifty dollars for a piece of meat and vegetables. In fact, we especially want to advise you to pass there for the aperitif in order to take advantage of the breathtaking view on the Pacific Ocean from the big terrace.

It's the little brother of Sonoma's Girl and Fig, at least in size. Because in reality the Fig Café is the first of the family. Intimate atmosphere and refined decor for this restaurant that serves excellent quality French-inspired cuisine: asparagus au gratin, beef bourguignon, mussels and French fries with pastis... You won't feel out of place! Large list of wines from the region and Europe. You'll find some of your favorite dishes from the Sonoma restaurant. A Glen Ellen classic, and very popular with the locals.

This small house transformed into a restaurant is tastefully decorated with the warm colors of Mexico, nicely flowered with its small terrace. The warm and sweet atmosphere in which it immerses us makes us want to come back again and again. The food is delicious, masterfully prepared by Arturo. Enjoy the Mayan specialties, with pork, vegetables or chicken, as well as the great Tex Mex specialties like tacos and burritos. Typical Mexican breakfast is available at the opening, from 10 US$ to 15 US$.

Ah, what a pleasure it is to rediscover the joys of Turkish-style kebab! It is not a question here of a cheap fast-food sandwich but of an elegant plate with a subtle and refined taste. A real good surprise. The menu also offers many Mediterranean dishes. For example, we recommend the salad with grilled octopus, arugula, chickpeas, beets, oranges, apples, cherry tomatoes and apple-basil vinaigrette, with a pomegranate balsamic glaze...
