Downtown Los Angeles Restaurant Scene Update
For Fodorites planning trips that might include Downtown LA . The LA Times had a recent listing of restaurants new and a few old that might be useful for the "foodie crowd".
http://www.latimes.com/features/food...,5708577.story And in case the link goes dead, here is the list Chaya Downtown Drago Centro Rivera Bottega Louie Church & State Wurstkuche (sorry no punctuation) Nickel Diner Corkbar Sushi Gen R23 Water Grill |
I would rate L.A. has one of the world's top destinations for dining.

Thanks for sharing! |
Bottega Louie is fabulous! Also check out the restaurant scene around L.A. Live -- we haven't had a miss at the 2 places we dined and the 1 place at which we drank and had appetisers.

I love, love, love Rivera.
More restaurants I would put on the list: Zucca Roy's Patina Kendall's Cole's (for the history, not so much for the food) Phillippe (again, more for the history) |
Logandog,
LA is notorious for its horrible lack of good foodie options. It is so NOT a good food destination. NYNY, SF, NOLA blow LA out of the water. For instance, the biggest newspaper in LA only has 11 places to recommend over a 100 sq. mile area---JUST PITIFUL. |
I don't know what the Parrothead is talking about.
Those listed are the NEW restaurants that have just opened in the DOWNTOWN part of Los Angeles. Geez. |
Parrothead missed the point of the article and apparently doesn't know L.A. very well.
|
Apparently not, or he/she is just trying to get a rise out of us.
I love Rivera also. |
Or maybe he/she is upset that there is no Margaritaville or Cheeseburger in Paradise in downtown LA. ;)
Thanks for the list. Wurstküche looks like something DH would enjoy. We were pleasantly surprised by Chalet Edelweiss, in Westchester: www.chaletedelweiss.us/action.html |
lvk, I pass Edelweiss on my drive to work, but I've never eaten there! You've inspired me to check it out. That's a reminder that you might be passing good dining every day without knowing it.
The chef at Rivera opened his first restaurant about 30 years ago in a strip mall near our house. |
