"République boasts a delicious variety of breads, but it’s mostly known for its multigrain bread that satisfies the taste of any health aficionado who’s looking for a little carb fix. Set in the original home of LaBrea Bakery, République seems to have inherited the 20 year of tradition for making amazing breads, and everything coming out of their oven is so overwhelmingly good. République, 624 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA, USA + 1 310 362 6115"

"The space is famously known because it was built by Charlie Chaplin and Roy Sheldon Price in the 20s!. Start off with the house-baked bread with drippings, then the steak frites or classic tournedos rossini with foie gras and truffles. Don’t miss out on their weekend brunch menu, as well as their oyster and charcuterie selections!"

"Before Wolfgang Puck was on TV, opening airport restaurants around the world, or teaching online cooking classes, he was pioneering the brand of casual elegance at Spago that now describes much of Los Angeles. When the restaurant opened in 1982, Puck was one of a handful of chefs pioneering “California cuisine,” making use of the state’s bountiful produce in combination with Asian and European techniques. The results are legendary, such as the famed smoked salmon pizza with crème fraîche, salmon roe, and red onion."

"Reservations required weeks in advance unless your name is Leonardo Di Caprio or similar, at Spago you can eat a very good Italian inspired meal. It’s a cool place the one where people go if they want to be seen so sneakers do not go well. Put it in your list for a real treat when in LA!"

"American , Fusion"

"What sets Gjusta, Gjelina’s younger sister spin-off restaurant apart from any other bakery in LA?. The newish Venice cafe invented Baklava croissants, for one. And in addition to being one of the coolest new places to grab breakfast, Gjusta makes some of crispiest on the outside, soft and stretchy on the inside baguettes in town."

"This spot serves up delicious brisket sandwiches, ribs, and other BBQ favorites all day, every day.

"Situated on the second story of a strip mall, above a Pizza Hut and a dentist, the restaurant has white-tile floors and bright lights that don't suggest high-end sushi. But it's been holding down moderately priced Nozawa-style sushi for almost two decades. What Echigo lacks in decor, it more than makes up for in the quality of its fish; in fact, many consider it one of L.A.'s best omakases, especially for the price."

"Echigo is a hidden gem in a Westside strip mall that consistently delivers high quality sushi, but for much less compared to higher end sushi restaurants. Chef-Owner Toshi Kataoka opened Echigo in 2002. Prior to opening the restaurant, he worked at Sushi Spot in Tarzana for 10 years, which influenced his warm rice sushi style."

The mansion’s interior can be viewed during private small group tours while the exterior grounds and garden are open to the public daily."
