EAT L.A., a photographers guide to best and most photogenic restaurants in L.A.

It’s that time of year in which every New Yorker says… “Maybe I should move to L.A.”. I’ve been very resistant to the idea of the perpetual perfect 72 and sunny day, being the proud New Yorker I am I declare things like “I like seasons” and “I hate driving”. But…. when it’s 18 degrees and dark most of the day I find myself singing a different tune.

So, I decided to focus on something I do best: eating well. I love food. I love GOOD food. I love beautiful food. I love weird food. And if I’m going to ever really consider making the popular migration west, I want to know what’s the skinny on one of my favorite activities… and here is what I found when you Eat L.A.

      1. Sadly I’m back in Brazil. But I miss California so much! It’s one of my favorite places on earth (well, there’s a lot of places I like to call my favorite. and Paris, of course, is hors concours) Last year we did the CA01 from San Francisco to LA. I wanna do this route every year. It’s magical, right?
        The fiancé is still in LA on business. 🙁 I miss him too.

        1. Oh the 101 is so gorgeous to drive! Thank you for the remark about the Big Sur photographs. It was a truly beautiful place to stop and shoot in a way that means so much to me photographically as a process. I love slowing down. Brazil is a great place to be! I just went the first time a couple of years ago and look forward to visiting again one day. And yes… Paris is still evlerythign 🙂

  8. Thanks for the recs! We tried Salt and Straw on Abbott Kinney. We visited Malibu briefly so my daughter could watch the surfers and I think your photo captures it beautifully!

  9. Gjusta (and Gjelina) are definitely worth trying! I also like Joan’s on Third (the one in Studio City) but probably because it reminds me of (new) Brooklyn. I’m in the valley so Aroma on Tijuanga is my everyday jam. And what about Gratitude?

    Amazing photos.

  10. Great list!! Being a newbie to L.A., I appreciate that it’s more of a ‘personal favorites’ grouping, rather than the usual lists of just the most popular spots in the city. Thank you! I might also recommend for your next visit: Commissary at The Line hotel, the Malibu Farm, the newly reopened Clifton’s Cafeteria in downtown, dessert at MILK, and a visit to downtown’s Grand Central Market, which is like L.A.’s answer to Chelsea Market.
