Guidebook for Los Angeles
Food Scene
We love this place because it is a nice spot to relax in the Arts District. It has a nice open courtyard with a fountain. All of the food is vegetarian but you'd never guess that because they're all so good.

Great rooftop French restaurant and bar. It's a little hard to locate, but if you just go to the location on Google maps and look for the sign on the outside of the building that says Perch, go in and ask the door man. He will help you.
