Amara kitchen -A farm to table restaurant with two locations in Los Angeles (Highland Park and Altadena). 
This cozy cafe has multiple CLEARLY marked gluten free options (desserts and main dishes) and is good for celiacs with no cross contamination when mentioned.

Today I had the “green eggs” -two poached eggs (I asked for mine over hard), roasted sweet potatoes, mixed greens, avocado, pesto, beet puree, pickled cabbage, pickled carrots and cherry tomatoes, toasted sesame seeds, served with house-made bread whole grain gluten free bread.

The house made gluten free bread was fantastic. The eggs and veggies were definitely good, although next time I would probably order something I couldn’t find elsewhere.

I also bought their gluten free chocolate chunk cookie which was excellent. They even make a vegan version.

Highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back.

Mondrian Los Angeles: this rooftop pool can boast of one of the best views in all of LA. 
Part of SkyBar, set on the 14th floor of Mondrian Los Angeles in West Hollywood, here you get sweeping skyline views as far as the eye can see.

Sky Bar is a rooftop oasis, and also a true hotspot for the LA nightlife and bar scene. During daytime the atmosphere is more relaxed and calm, then from late afternoon the tempo and party feeling starts to take over.

Chinese in West Hollywood! Modernized Dim Sum fa sho 😋 🥟
Ok, I have one traditional place for dim sum and it is in the SGV, it’s meant to family time and Sunday Breakfast. Soooo, West Hollywood + Dim Sum for dinner never went together in my mind. 

Buutttttt, BAO DIM SUM HOUSE reinvented that. And I am here for it bc it’s actually good. Shiu Mai (we got chicken) was very hefty, Har Gow was shrimp filled with a light wrap, sauces on the table were on point and other items like Spare Ribs were prepared very traditionally.

Now, if you live in LA proper, you don’t always have to go to the valley for your dim sum fix 😋 🥟

📍 AMBOY FAR EAST CENTER, DTLA
It’s the chef that created Egg Slut, the Filipino American egg sandwich connoisseur. His small shop in chinatown makes these specialty burgers and they’re insane!

For a special event, i also found his longanesa hot dog on the menu and sisig fries with calamansi! 🍊🍟

Beers was so special too. Paired so well with the meal. You can find this across from Amboy at La Sita and other stores and restaurants around LA. Two Filipino LA brothers brought this over from the Philippines and all the flavors are so good. I’m not usually a beer drinker but the Ube Lager was so unique! (They also have Honey and a Mango flavor).

Check them out for a taste of LA Filipino American innovation!

Have a martini at Musso & Frank

Cinephiles, this one’s for you. Pretend it’s the 1920s and take your date out for a romantic night of Old Hollywood charm at the legendary Musso & Frank. Known as the oldest restaurant in Hollywood and often referred to as the “genesis of Hollywood,” this iconic steakhouse in LA, feels like you’ve stepped back into a bygone era.

The restaurant was known as the go-to spot for the Hollywood elite, even boasting a secret back room for industry insiders. It’s been memorialized in countless films, most notably Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Cozy up in one of the old-school wooden booths and order their world-famous martini for a night to remember.

High Rooftop Lounge at Hotel Erwin 🌟
Beachside rooftop bar with chill vibes and epic sunsets.

From the roof terrace at the lovely Hotel Erwin rooftop bar, you get some amazing views over the Pacific Ocean and Venice Beach.
Being the only rooftop in Venice, High Rooftop Lounge feels a lot like a continuing of the beach below, with lounge sofas and large umbrellas. The only difference might be that up here you also have infrared (and blankets) keeping the heat up on chilly nights.

The rooftop bar offers a good selection of well made specialty cocktails and different Californian beers, along with some really tasty bar bites and a weekend brunch. The menu even includes sun screen, so visits during sunny days is no problem at all.

Expect a great lounge vibe on the terrace, perfect for relaxing drinks in the sun. And at night, there are often live DJs picking up the pace a notch.

Jiro Style Ramen, right here in Los Angie.
At Tsujita Annex in West LA, Jiro-style ramen is a specialty that aligns with the authentic features of this style. Tsujita Annex is known for its rich, flavorful ramen and adheres closely to the traditional Jiro-style with its robust broth, substantial portions of toppings, and emphasis on a hearty, satisfying meal. The restaurant’s approach to Jiro-style ramen aims to capture the essence of the original while catering to the local palate.

— Jiro-style ramen is a distinct type of ramen that originates from Ramen Jiro, a famous ramen shop in Tokyo, Japan. It’s characterized by its hearty, rich, and indulgent style. The key features of Jiro-style ramen include a thick, flavorful broth, a heavy dose of garlic, a significant amount of bean sprouts, and a generous portion of fatty pork. The noodles are usually thick and chewy, and the dish is often topped with extra slices of pork and sometimes a raw egg.

Discover the Best Cocktail Bars in Burbank

When it comes to finding the hidden gems of cocktail bars near LA, Burbank stands out with its vibrant nightlife and unique local cocktail bars. As you stroll through the streets of this charming city, you're bound to stumble upon venues that offer a mix of classic and innovative cocktails, each with its own stylish ambiance and setting. Whether you're a seasoned cocktail aficionado, or just looking for a cozy spot to unwind, Burbank has something special for everyone.

Secrets of Burbank’s Best RoofTop Bars

One of the trending highlights of Burbank nightlife is its rooftop bars, where you can enjoy both impeccable drinks and stunning views of the cityscape. Locals rave about Vertigo Rooftop Lounge, known for its chic atmosphere and signature craft cocktails. Sip a Lavender Lemon Drop or their famous Chili Mango Margarita as you watch the sunset over the horizon. For an equally captivating experience, head over to Skyline at the Burbank Tower, where the mixologists add a pinch of magic to every drink, making it a must-visit spot for both locals and out-of-towners.

Hidden Gems: Off-the-Beaten-Path Cocktail Venues

If you prefer a more low-key environment, Burbank offers plenty of hidden cocktail bars that are known mainly to the local crowd. The Green Door is one such locale, located in a nondescript building. Despite its unassuming entrance, inside you’ll find a retro-chic setting and a menu brimming with classic cocktails like the Old Fashioned and Sazerac. Another local favorite is The Speakeasy at The Barrel House, where entry is through an unmarked door and the password changes frequently. Here, you can indulge in a Juniper Martini or an expertly crafted Smoky Negroni.

Gastro Pub Delights and Cocktail Fusions

For those who enjoy pairing delicious bites with their drinks, Burbank’s gastro pubs won't disappoint. Whiskey Red’s offers a menu that blends rich, hearty dishes with a diverse cocktail selection. Try their Truffle Fries accompanied by a refreshing Cucumber Mojito. Alternatively, The Liquid Muse & Bites combines a whimsical cocktail menu with gourmet appetizers. Locals swear by their Pineapple Basil Smash paired with the Pulled Pork Sliders.

Signature Cocktails with a Local Twist

Many cocktail bars in Burbank take pride in crafting signature drinks that reflect local tastes and traditions. One such establishment is The Magnolia Lounge, which features a signature drink known as the Burbank Belle—a perfect blend of gin, elderflower liqueur, and a hint of rosemary. Another favorite is Cedar & Vine, where the mixologists are renowned for their seasonal cocktail creations. Their Spring Riot, a mix of fresh berries, basil, and vodka, is particularly popular during the warmer months.
