Dinner

Pine and Crane Silverlake Los Angeles

Pine & Crane

Pine & Crane is a polarizing restaurant: adored by some, misunderstood by others — it leaves no hipster indifferent. Always packed during rush hour, this zen canteen sticks to the classics: mapo tofu, wanton soup, dan dan noodles… All the...
Jones Hollywood Los Angeles

Jones

Although its pizzas are correctly seasoned, Jones should be taken with a grain of salt: the kitsch tablecloths, the Italian-American dishes, a young Tinder-date in the next booth… Jones is a Hollywood myth to be enjoyed late, after 11pm, starting...
Night Market West Hollywood Los Angeles

Night + Market

Night + Market tells the story of Kris Yenbamroong, an incredibly talented chef who, having grown up in the family restaurant Talesai, went to study photography at NYU and then opened one, then song (two), and then sahm (three) Night +...
Jon and Vinnys West Hollywood Los Angeles

Jon & Vinny’s

Mapo Galbi

Those who read Lucky Peach (the Momofuku-born bible of food weirdos) know that Mapo Galbi is David Chang’s favorite restaurant in the whole wide world. At first glance, we can wonder why. Hidden in a small and very bright room,...
Din Tai Fung Glendale Los Angeles

Din Tai Fung

In the same way that a tourist can not spend a week in Los Angeles without trying In-N-Out, no self-respecting Angeleno should ignore Din Tai Fung. Honored with a Michelin star in Hong Kong, this Taiwanese restaurant chain specializes in...
Alimento Silverlake Los Angeles

Alimento

If you’ve never watched Chef’s Table, you are not allowed to go out tonight. Stop reading right now and run (don’t walk!) on Netflix to understand the history of tortellini in brodo as they do them in Emilia Romagna. And...
Meals by Genet Little Ethiopia Los Angeles

Meals by Genet

You could think you just walked in a French bistro, with white tablecloths and dimmed lighting, but Meals by Genet is in the heart of vibrant Little Ethiopia. A kid-sized kitchen run by Genet Agonafer, and showcased in the “City...
