Chinatown
Just know: You’re going to want to order everything at this Chinatown stalwart. At its core, Lasita, a modern Filipino restaurant, pairs incredible rotisserie chicken with natural wines — but you’d be remiss to skip the pork belly lechon (and a side of chicken fat rice). Pro tip: Come with a party of eight to 10 and dig into a multi-course, menu-spanning pamilya (family) feast.

Victor Heights
Chef Miles Thompson is never one to shy away from creative, contemporary, ingredient-driven cuisine, whether it’s at an iconic Westside restaurant or one of his roving pop-ups. At this Victor Heights brick-and-mortar, the tiny, cottage-like space is intimate and rustic with modern vibes — just the place for the ever-evolving seasonal menu and well-curated wines to match.

Echo Park
Echo Park has never seen anything like this: a big, open, wood-framed space turned elegant with black-and-white marble, dark green banquettes and booths, and polished brass tableaux by photographer Matt Lipps in a 1928-vintage building. The fare? Full-flavored Italian with a Roman accent.

Silverlake
Pad Thai, party wings, crab fried rice, and the “world-famous fried chicken sandwich” are just a few of the signature hits from Kris Yenbamroong’s powder-pink Silver Lake outpost. The whole vibe is buzzing, ultra-cool, and fiery, fueled entirely by chiles, curries, and natural wines.

Silver Lake
Daniele Uditi’s flawless Neapolitan pizzas, both innovative and traditional, jam the small, bright, minimalist dining room at this Silver Lake outpost of his top-rated Westside originals. There’s a reason the cacio e pepe pizza has been widely heralded, but don’t miss the wood-fired broccoli or meatballs as well.

The Virgil Village fixture's nighttime menu features Cal-French bistro fare with uniquely Sqirl takes on classics like Caesar salad and chicken liver toast.

Los Feliz
The melding of Mediterranean and Californian flavors is executed with utmost perfection, resulting in vibrant food that’s both memorable and crave-worthy. Kismet Steakhouse, the restaurant's annual winter menu takeover, channels all of those vibes into premium cuts, classic accoutrement, and of course, plenty of comforting vegetable dishes to share.

Melrose Hill
Bar Etoile has everything you’d expect from a Paris neighborhood bistro combined with the trappings of a perfect Los Angeles restaurant. Think trout rillettes studded with biquinho peppers, steak frites, and vibes for days.

Melrose Hill
Personal interpretations of regional dishes make Ètra stand out in the busy and ever-growing Italian food scene of L.A. It’s a bit hidden (behind Cafe Telegrama), sparse but charming, and worth seeking out if only for the rigatoni gricia and pork rib eye with fennel salad. Like the menu, the wine list is a tour around Italy with a detour through France.

Los Feliz
This tropical Los Feliz escape is acclaimed for its dynamic cocktails (plus beer and wine) that showcase ingredients sourced exclusively from Mexico. That ethos carries through to the creative fare — with dishes from aguachile to tacos — that are a celebration of modern Mexican cuisine.
