I don't know much about rest. because I only fast food when I'm going out.

But if you want to see some baddest cars go to VCR in Calabasad on Sunday morning at 7AM.

 

Not really a restaurant, but Roll In Sandwich is a favorite of mine. It's known as "Buck Fifty" to the locals because it used to be $1.50 for a sandwich. I first ate there in 2000 and it was only $2.75 for a 12" steak sandwich with real bread, not crappy Subway or Quiznos bread. Whatever the price is now....it's worth it!!

Great...Now I'm craving some Buck Fifty!

 

Check out Nic's Martini Lounge in Beverly Hills.

 

i work in westwood, not very impressed with the restaurant selection there, i think napa valley grill is ok, but nothing stellar. there is an in n out and diddy reese is always good for cookies. hopefully you have a car and you can just drive over to beverly hills or santa monica to grab a good meal.

 

Il Moro is a good Italian place on the other side of the freeway on Olympic. Matteo's is also good, I think it's on Westwood. Good Thai is Chandara on Pico, between the 10 and the 405. Agree that Napa Valley Grill is just OK; you'd think with that name they'd have a better wine list. If you feel like going into West Hollywood there're a lot of good restaurants there: Katana (sushi), Lucque (French) among others. Stay away from Ago ... unless you feel like going shoulder to shoulder with the annoying Hollywood and wanna-be-Hollywood crowd. Great people watching can be had at the bar at the Peninsula, too!

 

My recommendations:

Japanese:
Torafuku - Pico & Westwood
Sasabune - Bundy & Wilshire
Orris - Sawtelle & Olympic (roughly)
Katsuya - San Vicente & Montana
Gonpachi - Wilshire & La Cienega

California / French
Jiraffe - close to 3rd street promenade
Joe's - Abbot Kinney

French
Ortolan - 3rd Street & Fairfaxish
Sona - La Cienega & 3rd Streetish

 

If you're interested in Sona or Jiraffe (both are $$$$$), you will need to make reservations as far in advance as possible.

 

for the best food.
