Japanese fine dinning! This restaurant is in a small plaza, but don't let that fool you. The decor and design is worth a Michelin rating alone. Everything is fresh, new, and plated to perfection!

A Deli and an Eatery! Before I became gluten free, my favorite thing to order was their salmon pancakes. Great Europe/Mediteranian spot in the hear of Los Angeles. Perfect that its near the beach.

For those who appreciate quaint spots, Lady Birds Café is one of the hidden gems born during the pandemic. To accommodate the six-feet-apart order, they created adorable birdhouse-like structures for each table—and decided to keep the concept long af...

This spot is a hidden gem, tucked away in a plaza upstairs. But listen, when I want flavorful, authentic Thai food, this is where I go. I’m so glad I discovered it. The vibe is relaxed, charming, and perfect for any occasion.

Okay, by now you know I'm bougie. I remember my 2nd grade peers singling me out “you're so bougie” and now I've embraced it fully. Next on my list is Wally’s: Located in Beverly Hills, it is the epitome of upscale yet approachable dining. With an ext...

Ca’ Del Sole is one of those spots that feels like a hidden escape right in Toluca Lake. The vibe is cozy yet elegant, with a charming outdoor patio that makes you forget you’re even in the city. The food? Classic Italian, always fresh, and full of f...

I spent a month in Portugal, and this was one of my repeat restaurants. One everything is plant based. And two they have gluten free options. This is right of the Baxia Chiado exit off the blue line, and a few minute up the stairs, you'll discover th...

Yes, it's a bit cliché, I know, but hear me out—the food is actually good. The plating? Stunning. And the views? Well, it's Versace, so you already know. The only downside is that it’s a tourist trap, year-round, for both visitors and locals. And tru...
