THE original Market restaurant– when farmers first parked trucks at Farmers Market, Blanche Magee thought they might like to have lunch, so she filled a picnic hamper and started feeding them. Today, folks still line up for outstanding roast or corned beef, tempting turkey and marvelous ham platters. Magee’s horseradish is homemade and fantastic, too, and the cole slaw is equally good.

Mr. Marcel’s amazing shop is traditional, exotic, unique and a cook’s delight. You’ll find basic staples here, but you’ll also find a magnificent deli counter offering cheeses and cold cuts from around the world, a wine cellar which is as international as it is large, and (a favorite among locals) a large collection of old-fashioned pickle and olive barrels.

No cafeteria anywhere can compete with this churrascaría – move down the line to select from an amazing assortment of side dishes (salads, corn, pastas, and much more) and finish at the main course station: slowly turning beef steak, sausages, chicken (the bacon wrapped chicken is unbelievably good). You pick exactly what you desire and the serving size you want. Among the newer Market choices, Pampas is also one of the most popular. (Critic Favorite)

Before Patsy introduced it, nobody in Los Angeles had ever even heard of pizza. The most authentic pizza anywhere, Patsy’s pizza is still baked in the original brick oven with toppings as varied as you wish. Outstanding lasagna and spaghetti, too. Don’t visit without checking out the magnificent photos on the walls (the shot of Patsy and Frank Sinatra is as delicious as the food). (Critic Favorite)

This is one of those places which proves the rule – if folks are standing at the counter waiting for the food, there must be a good reason. There is: the traditional Chinese menu here is alive with great tastes – pork and beef and chicken, a great array of vegetables, all seasoned to be full of flavor without overpowering the natural flavors.

Just like the good old days: great counter seating (or carry away to a patio table) and the perfect diner menu (breakfast, lunch and dinner): huge sandwiches, luscious burgers and hot dogs, and deli fare worthy of New York. The Philly steak sandwich here impresses even natives of that city.

Frozen yogurt at its finest. Start with two tasty flavors (original, Green Tea) and then add your own favorite fruits and berries for a scrumptious treat. Smoothies, too. Pinkberry is all the rage. One taste will tell you why.

Shrimp or crab salad, freshly grilled fresh catch (ask at the counter – what they have today is what you want today) and side dishes so good that some order double portions. There are two varieties of fish & chips, each with fiercely dedicated fans; locals insist that the tuna salad here is the best, period.

Moishe (of Moishe’s Restaurant) visited Europe and discovered a sensation sweeping the food world: part sandwich, sort of like a pizza, oven-baked to order, the pedeh is rich in flavor, lighter than traditional sandwiches and open-faced (so the rich flavors are always primary). There’s a breakfast version available as well as a wide range of selection perfect for lunch or dinner. Try one – you’ll probably end up trying several.
