Address: 8715 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood, CA 90069
Make sure to make a reservation: https://catchrestaurants.com/catchla/#reservations

When you first walk in, you’ll be strolling in the most beautiful aisle surrounded by gorgeous flowers and plant decors. This place has great ambience with its bright indoors. Make sure to make a reservation because it can get difficult to get a table for walk ins. This place is known for having celebrity clientele and you’ve probably seen this on your Instagram feed already. I’m glad it lived up to the hype as I left there with a happy tummy. I am a huge seafood fan, so I am for sure going to be making a trip back to Catch LA in the future!

2. République

Address: 624 South La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90036

République is French-inspired cafe and restaurant with quite the architectural work filled with exposed bricks, high ceiling and natural light. It reminded me of Harry Potter’s Great Hall in Hogwarts. As you enter, you will be welcomed by all these fresh pastries on display that you can choose from before grabbing a seat. It’s an open seating and there is also a kitchen on display with workers making bread in action. I fell inlove with their smoked Salmon Benedict ($21) so make sure to try that mouthwatering dish. Definitely pricy for small bites but it was actually worth it. I thought that both Catch LA and République had the most delicious food out of these 5 restaurants. By the way, don’t be discourged by the long lines on the weekend. It seems long but the lines moves super fast.

3. Openaire at Line Hotel

Address: 3515 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90010

With Openaire, you feel like you are walking into a modern greenhouse filled with plants all over! There’s something about plants that just gives you a boost to start your day fresh and relaxed. I wasn’t too crazy about their food for the price but I loved the drinks. I had the Midnight Margarita and it was something else! I’m definitely coming back here with friends to have a couple of drinks with this atmosphere.

4. The Butcher’s Daughter

Address: 1205 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291

Don’t let the name of this restaurant fool you. I thought that it was genious that they purposely tried to be ironic. No meat sold here! This place is for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free options but many meatlovers love this place. This has aesthetically pleasing and minimalistic restaurant has a hipster laidback vibe. Treat yourself with the juice flight!

5. Ivory on Sunset

Address: 8440 Sunset Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90069

The bright open space with its panoramic view of Los Angeles makes this restaurant so breathtaking. I thought that food was average compared to the others but nothing can beat the view from your seat. The Ivory on Sunset is located in West Hollywood at the Mondrian Hotel.
