My LA - Taste on Melrose

A laid back comfortable atmosphere in this small restaurant located on Melrose makes it one of my new favorites. It is not too fancy, neither it is too casual. They offer outdoor seating (where you can watch busy melrose street) and indoor seating, where your can relax and enjoy you delicious meal.

My personal restaurant rule: If the bread is terrible, there is no way I will ever enjoy the food. By the way, the bread in Taste is delicious ;)

A Walk At The Grove

The Grove is an outdoor mall in Los Angeles, filled with stores, restaurants, a movie theatre and a choreographed fountain. While enjoying your time here, you can listen to and enjoy a nice variety of songs by Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie and many others, playing in the background.

My LA - Euro Caffe Beverly Hills

One of the few really european places in Los Angeles is the italian Euro Caffe. The place is full of italians, who are "regulars" and hang out there almost every day. For those who like soccer (and believe me, italians do), it's a perfect place to watch a game. They also have a lot of european editions of fashion magazines, which is especially pleasant for female visitors. The atmosphere of the cafe makes me feel like I am back in Europe (especially all those european men around ;)). Fresh italian brioche (croissant), a bunch of other delicious pastry choices, salads, italian panini and perfect coffee makes the food an essential complement to a great cafe experience. And finally, this is one of the favorite places of Russell Crowe - and the Gladiator can't be wrong ;)
