Bottega Louie, Los Angeles

Bottega Louie brings European panache to the streets of California with a contemporary menu that puts the continent on a plate. Savor Italian Margherita pizza or French Salmon Millefeuille among timeless favorites like BLT and Caesar salad. Opt for the Farmers Market Breakfast at their weekend brunch, a platter of poached eggs, vegetables and Parmesan, or relish small plates of raspberry beignets or portobello fries. Complement your meal with something from their extensive beverage list. Flavored soda, beer, juices, lattes or heady cocktails to name a few. The sprawling high-beamed space is decorated with crisp white walls and marble counter tops for a classy, East Coast feel, and exudes an understated elegance. Head to the deli for food to go, as well as inspiration to experiment in your own kitchen.
