Voila 3 Top French Cafes of Los Angeles

Fine Dining, French Restaurants, My featured category No Responses »

Jan 112012

Cafe Beaujolais

Eagle Rock is an artsy suburbia community of Los Angeles with a great collection of restaurants. One of them is the French Cafe Beaujolais (after the popular French red wine). If you like escargot you should order them. They are perfectly cooked and seasoned and taste better than in France. A classic is the Filet Mignon which they serve with a stuffed tomato gratin, and for dessert a chocolate mousse. Or sip an onion soup and top your diner with a creme brule. All classic French cuisine – Bon appetit!
Yelpers think it is worth 4.5 stars – that’s almost a full house!

Location: 1712 Colorado Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90041 – Eagle Rock
phone: (323) 255-5111 – no website but they are on Yelp
Tue-Thu 5 pm – 9:30 pm
Fri-Sat 5 pm – 10 pm
Sun 5 pm – 9 pm

Cafe Stella

If you like to have a romantic dinner, the Cafe Stella is the place to go. Dine inside or on the secluded patio, or have a gals of wine first at the wine bar. Start with artichaut grille and a kir royale, followed by Coq au vin with mushrooms and pearl onions or a filet mignon served with potato and turnip puree. The beef tartare tastes like in Paris. Yelp stars four.

Philippe The Original

It is one of the oldest and best known restaurants in Southern California, and was established in 1908 by Philippe Mathieu, who claimed the distinction of having created the “French Dipped Sandwich.”
One day in 1918, while making a sandwich, Mathieu inadvertently dropped the sliced french roll into the roasting pan filled with juice still hot from the oven. The patron, a policeman, said he would take the sandwich anyway and returned the next day with some friends asking for more dipped sandwiches. Voila, the new sandwich was born.
The sandwich consists of either roast beef, roast pork, leg of lamb, turkey or ham served on a lightly textured, freshly baked French roll which has been dipped in the natural gravy of the roasts. Swiss, American, Monterey Jack or Blue cheese may be added. To accompany your sandwich we offer a tart, tangy cole slaw, homemade potato and macaroni salads, hard boiled eggs pickled in beet juice and spices, large Kosher style, sour dill or sweet pickles, black olives and hot yellow chili peppers. Philippe’s still prepares and serves close to 300 pounds of pigs feet every week and 40 gallons of home made mustard.
Every day they serve a different soup, the breakfast menu is splendid with pancakes and French Toast, but there are not the typical French dishes like you would expect. It sounds rather American but still, the quality counts. The crowd gave Philippe four stars so far but whatever they give, Philippe will be THE original forever.

The Best Mexican Food in LA

Mexican Restaurants, My featured category No Responses »

Jan 012012

Guisados

The newly opened taqueria in the heart of the old Boyle Heights neighborhood, makes chiles torreados like no other Mexican food place. It has established itself as the Mexican restaurant in the Eastside but is also attraceted Mexican food lovers from the Westside. They all love the tacos of griddled shrimp or diced pork chops in a mellow green sauce: the tacos of the smoky chicken tinga are very hard to resist. It’s a family owned business and with Guisados they landed another well made restaurant after they established Cook’s Tortas. The tacos are described on a blackboard behind a white tiled counter and it surely remains of Tijuana with a casual flair. The interior does not invite to celebrate your birthday there but who cares? The food is awesome, and that’s why 4.5 stars from the Yelp crowd.

Location: 2100 E Cesar Chavez Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90033, (323) 264-7201 www.guisados.com — www.guisados.com

Guelaguetza

A popular, family-owned spot, providing traditional, regional style dishes from the Mexican state of Oaxaca. Chilaquiles, smothered in traditional Mexican string cheese, the berry-infused horchata and the clauda, also known as the ‘Oaxacan pizza’ are some of the highlights. Some say the Tamal de mole negro is the plate to go for; there is something about the banana leaf-wrapped, mole-infused-and-covered goodness in this tamal dealie that just tastes amazing.
Guelaguetz is in the heart of Korea Town and it used to be an old Korean restaurant. It still looks Korean rather than Mexican from the outside but the inside is as Mexican as it can get. Live Music on Sat 6-10 pm and Sun 11-3 pm with a marimba band with 3 xylophone players, a bass and a drum player. If you feel like dancing – just go ahead. On yelp four stars with more than 300 reviews – a place to go for sure.
Location: 3014 W Olympic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90006, (213) 427-0608 — www.guelaguetzarestaurante.com/

Huarache Azteca Restaurant

Two words describe this authentic Mexican restaurant the best: cheap and delicious. Hand made Tortillas. Huarache with red and green sauce and pastor, tons of tacos, squash blossom crispy quesadilla, flautas, chicken fajitas. Great customer service. In short, if you are looking for the authentic Mexican Food experience, this is the place to go. Mon – Sun, 8am – 10:30pm

Location: 5225 York Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90042, (323) 478-9572

Campanile
It reminds of a Mediterranean village with a bell tower which means “campanile” in Italian. Chef-owner Mark Peel creates French-Italian influenced dishes such as pan-roasted black cod with black trompette mushrooms or rosemary-charred baby lamb with brown butter; he gets the ingredients from the best farmers in California. The dessert like the Blueberry Brown Butter Tart with meyer lemon curd, blueberry compote and crème fraîche ist just a delight. Thursday night is grilled cheese sandwich night that has become a popular culinary event in LA. Also the Sunday nights with life music.
Location: 624 S. La Brea Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90036 – phone 323-938-1447 – www.campanilerestaurant.com/

Cecconi’s

An Italian classic and timeless restaurant gem with chef Andrea Cavaliere who creates the best “cicchetti”, a Venetian snack, and appetizers such as grilled octopus with lemon, capers and olives. If you are hungry late at night enjoy Carpaccio with a Venetian dressing or baked gnocchi ‘Romana’, gorgonzola. Private parties in the butterfly room are always a wonderful experience. The daily specials are rotating, and cheeses are strictly Italian but the wine list it of international provenience. Families are good with a four people supper of pizza for about $50, and the final dot of a menu is a dessert like molten chocolate cake with pistachio ice cream.
Location: 8764 Melrose Avenue Los Angeles 90069, phone 310-432-2000 — www.cecconiswesthollywood.com/

Chez Marie
Cafe Chez Marie is a delightful little hideaway perched just off of Santa Monica Blvd in Westwood. Wander past the creeping ivy that crawls up the brick walls of the quaint French cottage and take in the bright cheerfulness of the flower blossoms. As you turn the corner, find yourself in a small, manicured courtyard that boasts the idyllic atmosphere that begs one to wonder if the location was a former movie set. The answer is even better. This charming space is an historical landmark. The savory French cuisine boasts croissants with proscuitto, eggs benedict with rich hollandaise , build your own omelletes, fresh fruit smoothies, robust coffee and more.
