Going out to eat is serious business. We\u2019ve covered a decent amount of ground when it comes to gaby\u2019s guides to various cities. We have Austin<\/a> on the map, Santa Barbara<\/a>, Honolulu<\/a>, Palm Springs<\/a>, San Diego<\/a>, Napa<\/a>, Dallas is coming next week along with Orcas Islands. Portland is in the works, as is Ojai\u2026 but the one I get asked about time and time again is my home base\u2026 Los Angeles!<\/h2>\n

\"Gaby's<\/p>\n

L.A. is massive and it\u2019s tough to try and cover the whole thing in 1 map, so there are a handful of LA maps in the works and first up is the Westside because that\u2019s where I live!! Brentwood, Santa Monica, West Los Angeles and Venice. I cover these areas on a daily basis seeing as how it\u2019s beyond easy to ride my bike from one neighborhood to the next. So here ya have it\u2026 Gaby\u2019s Guide to Los Angeles (Westside style)<\/p>\n

Baltaire<\/a> – is the new kid on the block in Brentwood but it\u2019s pretty fab when it comes to a swanky night on the town. Grab your friends and some cocktails and chill in the open air dining area.<\/p>\n

Don Antonios<\/a> – hands down, no questions asked, my all time favorite Mexican restaurant on the westside. (taco trucks excluded) Don Antonio\u2019s is a family run joint and their super burritos with carne asada are top notch. Their skinny margs are equally as epic as is the chips + salsa situation!<\/p>\n

Farmshop<\/a> – we hunker down at the Brentwood country mart on the weekends all the time. While it\u2019s loaded with fun places to grab a bite to eat, Farmshop is one of my favorite places to grab brunch. They have a perfectly cooked omelette and their larder is gorgeous! It’s tough to walk out without grabbing a few fun cheeses!<\/p>\n

Milo and Olive<\/a> – currently the best pizza within walking distance of our apartment!! And with their recent renovation, it\u2019s way easier to grab a table. Their ricotta toast is one for the record books, and their garlic knot is bananas. Basically anything involving carbs is delish at Milo and Olive!<\/p>\n

\"Pizza\"<\/p>\n

Giorgio Baldi<\/a> – for date night this is our new go-to. Well it\u2019s actually not new, just new to us! It\u2019s a small rustic Italian restaurant right off the pacific coast highway and the service is lovely. Wine, pasta, and more wine. Pretty much the perfect evening.<\/p>\n

Father’s Office<\/a> – Burgers. The best in LA. I have nothing else to say about Father\u2019s Office because it speaks for itself. GO!<\/p>\n

Art’s Table<\/a> – my favorite place to grab a healthy salad on the weekends.<\/p>\n

Rustic Canyon<\/a> – a fun seasonal restaurant that sources everything from the farmers market and then turns it into gorgeous dishes. My favorite way to do it is with a group of friends so you can literally order everything on the menu and nibble your way through the entire thing.<\/p>\n

Huckleberry<\/a> – The perfect place to grab breakfast. All the pastries are made in house and the ragu with fried eggs is wonderful. Make sure to get the salted caramel bar for a breakfast dessert – you\u2019ll thank me later.<\/p>\n

Sugarfish<\/a> – trust me about sugarfish and when you go order the trust me. It\u2019s a pre-fixe chef menu that won\u2019t disappoint!!<\/p>\n

Blue Plate Oysterette<\/a> – lobster rolls, oysters, tacos and champagne. It\u2019s the perfect place for a sunny afternoon meal!<\/p>\n

\"Blue<\/p>\n

Mercado<\/a> – the carnitas at Mercado are off the hook. As are the margaritas. And it\u2019s a pretty epic scene. Perfect for a friday night dinner before hitting the town.<\/p>\n

Blue Bottle Coffee<\/a> – my husband has become a coffee snob, and he swears by Blue Bottle. So clearly I do too!<\/p>\n

Intelligentsia<\/a> – his other go-to coffee place is Intelligentsia (and I\u2019m partial to this one because the pastry selection is always on point!)<\/p>\n

Gjelina<\/a> – the BEST pizza on the westside that\u2019s not within walking distance of my house. It\u2019s insane. Everything is a game changer. The pizza, the broccolini, the carrots, the cocktails. I COULD GO ON. Just make sure you go – and make a reservation cause it\u2019s been a hot ticket for years!<\/p>\n

Tasting Kitchen<\/a> – pasta. It\u2019s the end all, be all of pasta and it\u2019s epic!<\/p>\n

Scopa<\/a> – brunch with cocktails. This is the place. The gorgeous setting is enough to get anyone to walk in the door, but the food is equally as fab. The meatballs are perfectly moist (and I don\u2019t use that word lightly because ewwww) and the cocktail game is on point.<\/p>\n

Gjusta<\/a> – it\u2019s the new hot bakery in Venice and it\u2019s quite the scene. The coffee game is on point and their breakfast Bialy sandwiches are beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
