Bungalow Ate Los Angeles
Larchmont Bungalow Cafe Opens
New cafe with breakfast all day and lunch, dinner, and desserts worth the stray.
Wipe the lasagna tre formaggi con ragu Bolognese off your chin. Leonardo DiCaprio is in the corner of this Italian gem, and he’s totally staring at you.

And you thought doing it behind the bleachers was lame.
Owner Joe Reynolds transformed a strip-mall Romanian restaurant into a cross between an old-school Hollywood haunt and a gussied-up basement rec room with a basic Italian menu and some sort of entertainment (comedy, dramedy, live music) six nights a week.
One good reason to start spooning in The Valley.
Head down to The Valley for chef Andre Guerrero (Max, The Oinkster, BoHo) and Gary Menes’s (last seen at Palate) always-changing, green-market-minded, French-influenced menu paired with an impressive yet approachable wine list.
What came first, the chicken or the egg noodle? Ponder it over Philippe Chow’s world-famous Peking duck.
Big Mediterranean flavors rule in this sprawling restaurant with several cozy dining areas, including a lush secret-garden-like patio.
Sometimes you just need a nosh. Head to the top floor of Barneys New York for lox and bagels with a view of the hood.
Satisfy a Swede tooth with Scandinavian-leaning dishes (aquavit-cured salmon, meatballs with lingonberry preserve) and beyond at this sleek bar and resto with a beachy vibe.
