Newly added!

Because this breezy all-day cafe brings brightly-flavored California fare — salads, sandwiches, pasta, pizza, and more — plus cocktails, and a low-intervention wine list to the bustling Brentwood scene. And you know there’s always an impeccable avocado toast (this is an Aussie-owned joint, after all, birthplace of the now L.A. staple).

88 Club Beverly Hills

map

Newly added!

Chef Mei Lin has a knack for turning classic dishes from her upbringing into something revelatory. You’ll find it at her swanky Beverly Hills spot in every bite of char siu pork, glistening nam yu-roasted chicken, and sesame prawn toast. It’s all familiar, yet nothing like you’ve had before. The space is gorgeous and full of good-luck symbolism, from tiger paintings to jade-colored walls.

firstborn Chinatown

map

Newly added!

When you get a classically trained chef dishing out things like country-fried chongqing chicken, egg custard, and roast duck, there’s only one place that feels right for it: The Mandarin Plaza in Chinatown. Firstborn’s menu changes seasonally, which means you’ll want to stop in for highlights on the regular.

Lasung Tofu & Pot Rice Koreatown

map

Newly added!

You can trust the sibling restaurant to Lasung House with soul-affirming Korean food. Case in point: Lasung’s sotbap, a rice dish cooked in a stone pot with a crackling-crisp bottom, and their soondubu, the soft tofu stew made with a long-simmered broth. Don’t overlook the extras (all standouts), from clams, pollack roe, and grilled eel you can get with the sotbap, to lobster for the stew.

Superba Food + Bread – Calabasas Calabasas

map

Newly added!

If there’s one thing the Superba folks know, it’s all-day eating. Like their other locations around L.A. (Hollywood, Venice), you’ll find bacon and eggs for breakfast and double cheeseburgers for lunch. For dinner, share roast chicken and seasonal salads, and know that their wines by the glass, or an olive-washed martini, hit just right.

Alba Los Angeles West Hollywood

map

Leave it to Adam Leonti to build the Italian restaurant of your dreams.

Pro tip: The house focaccia is required ordering — Leonti’s a wiz in the bread department, and you’re not going to want to miss this signature item.
