Every year, The New York Times sends reporters zigzagging across the country\u201476 flights, 200 meals, 33 states\u2014to crown the 50\u00a0best restaurants in America<\/a>. And this year, three Los Angeles spots were named among those 50: Baby Bistro<\/a>, Mori Nozomi<\/a> and RVR<\/a>. Each one fits the Times’ bill with delicious food, mastery of craft, generosity of spirit and a point of view you won\u2019t find anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Hidden inside a leafy L.A. bungalow, Baby Bistro is as charming as it is unpredictable. Chef Miles Thompson and co-owner Andy Schwartz run a menu so tight you\u2019re better off ordering everything. The ever-changing plates and under-$100 wine list keep things spontaneous and democratic. \u201cIt feels inviting, unpredictable and alive,\u201d declares writer Tejal Rao\u2014and we couldn\u2019t agree more.<\/p>\n

At Mori Nozomi, sushi omakase<\/a> is just the starting point. Chef Nozomi Mori builds her menus with produce straight from the Santa Monica Farmers Market<\/a> and makes tender mochi filled with red bean paste fresh every morning. The fish is pristine, and the knife work flawless, but the Times calls the real thrill \u201cthe way Ms. Mori builds on the structure and flow of the omakase in her own distinct style, moving you from one captivating bite to the next.\u201d As we know, this is a one-of-a-kind meal, grounded in tradition but entirely personal.<\/p>\n

If Abbot Kinney feels like the stage for endless openings, RVR (pronounced \u201criver\u201d) is the rare spot with staying power. Chef Travis Lett (of Gjelina<\/a> fame) teams up with Ian Robinson for a Japanese izakaya that\u2019s deeply L.A. in sensibility: vegetable-forward, seasonal, effortless. \u201cThe kitchen is focused, technically precise,\u201d writes Rao, with dishes like sweet, briny clam ramen and grilled duck tsukune. But the surprise here is how thrilling the vegetables are\u2014this section of the menu \u201cgoes longer than some restaurants\u2019 entire menus.\u201d<\/p>\n

L.A.\u2019s dining scene has never been short on ambition, but these three prove it still has the power to surprise\u2014and to set the pace for the rest of the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every year, The New York Times sends reporters zigzagging across the country\u201476 flights, 200 meals, 33 states\u2014to crown…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":219359,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,10633,2961,224,5337,10634,988],"class_list":{"0":"post-219358","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-california","10":"tag-categories-restaurants","11":"tag-la","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-losangeles","14":"tag-news-eating","15":"tag-restaurants"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115188200047774141","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219358","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219358\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219359"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
