Quick Eats in Los Angeles, USA

This is my 3rd visit to LA since 2005 and I fall in love the city more and more each time. This trip we found ourselves doing things we’d normally wouldn’t/never be able to do.

The Merrywell, Southbank VIC

We head towards the Crown Casino and stroll along the Southbank Promenade. It’s been 3 years since my last visit and it was amazing to see all the restaurants that are now operating. From high end restaurants, to casual dining to cafes – it caters for a range of diners. The boy opts for The Merrywell for dinner as the American inspired menu wins him over.

Animal, Los Angeles – California, USA

This was one dinner that was planned from the get go, and the only dinner booked in for us whilst in LA. My cousin has told me all about it for the longest time and I was super excited to finally get the chance to go. It wasn’t just because he said so, but it was what was on the menu (which changes seasonally) that had my eyes popping out of my head.

All About The Bread, West Hollywood – California, USA

I love days when on vacation where there are zero plans. Going with the flow definitely makes you feel somewhat of a local. Los Angeles is one of my favourite destinations, despite a lot (like, a lot) of others not enjoying it at all. I have to admit it is because I have quite a bit of family in LA so the company is just awesome. There’s plenty of them to take me around, especially to those places that only locals would know about.

Moodaepo II, Los Angeles – California, USA

I’ve never been a fan of buffet places because I can never seem to eat my money’s worth! As I am holidays, I let loose and want to eat anything and everything. One of my cousins is a big fan of Korean BBQ so he organises a dinner for us Aussie tourists. It probably wasn’t the best idea with a wedding a few days later, but nonetheless we go anyways.

Barney’s Beanery, Santa Monica – California, USA

After my second trip to San Fran, we head back to LA to spend the week with family before the big wedding. We get picked up from LAX and head to Santa Monica to meet up with the rest of the gang for some nibblies.
