Petty Cash Taqueria
7360 Beverly Blvd, CA 900036
This brand new taqueria has already been listed as a place to watch. Picnic style tables and hand painted murals create a welcoming urban ambiance, the perfect setting for a dinner of affordable Mexican food. With pig ear nachos, octopus or duck gizzard tacos, and prawn deep fried quesadillas on the menu, this is not your regular street food, but a trendy, fun and creative version.
The Pikey Café & Bar
7617 W Sunset Boulevard, CA 90046
Organic, locally produced, cruelty free products are the root of the Pikey menu. Also, cocktails. Happy hour is on every day from 4 to 6pm, so head there early and sip on a Caravan in one of the cosy booths while the chef of this fab gastropub gets your grub ready. Try their thrice cooked chips rumour says theyre to die for!
Pour Vous
5574 Melrose Ave Hollywood, CA 90038
Get your chic on, Pour Vous is coktail attire only. This very stylish cocktail bar is barely one year old but has managed to build itself an impressive reputation. This bar sends you back to the French années folles, with Paris-inspired cocktails that look and taste fabulous. If youre lucky, you might get to enjoy a live burlesque performance or an exclusive DJ set.
Potato Chips
308 North Stanley Avenue, CA 90036
LA isnt all juices and vegan salads. Luckily, artisan sandwiches and homemade golden-roasted crisps are on the menu at Potato Chips. This popular West Hollywood deli just reopened after it closed last summer, in what used to be owner Arroyos taco shop. Head to Potato Chips for roast beef and aged cheddar on locally baked bread, meatball subs, or the famous spicy salami/avocado/goats cheese sandwich in a maritime decor. Crunchy noms ahoy!

Trois Mec
716 N Highland Ave Los Angeles, CA 90038

This is not a traditional restaurant; here the kitchen is not separated from the guests and everyone gets to enjoy the same French-inspired terroir menu. Youll need to book several weeks in advance, but its all worth it Trois Mec is the place to be and these guys know what theyre cooking.

Peddlers Creamery
458 S. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90013
Heres an interesting concept: peddlers get on their bikes not for a ride, but to make ice cream! The fun (and smart!) guy behind Peddlers Creamery decided to combine his two greatest loves to produce environment-friendly, delicious homemade. What started as a modern ice-cream truck, with friendly faces going around LA on bikes selling delish scoops to passers-by has just been updated to a full-on shop! Try salted caramel, chile mango or fig ginger.
The Bungalow
