A full compliment of beers (including brands not available just anywhere) and a good wine selection make this spot the favorite “local” hang-out at the Market. The after work ambiance here is friendly and fun.

An L.A. institution: fresh, made-right-here doughnuts every day and a select variety of premium coffees and teas. Kids love the specialty doughnuts (dinosaurs and kitties) and everybody raves about Bob’s cinnamon roll. (Critic Favorite)

Excellent Texas-style beef, pork and chicken dishes (dinners and sandwiches always available) and savory side dishes. Locals often ask the guys behind the counter for a container of the barbecue sauce – it’s that good. (Critic Favorite)

A great spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. No matter what you order – the exquisite French Toast or a great sandwich, burgers & fries or a steak sandwich – expect to hear the gang behind the counter bellow your name when your order is ready. (Critic Favorite)

Manny & Angie Chang and their family have been serving tasty Chinese dishes at this shop for decades. Regulars come back again and again for wonderful chicken and pork dishes and some swear there’s something special about the rice, too.

A Market gem, serving coffee, teas, fruit drinks and freshly baked muffins and rolls throughout the day. This shop is a local favorite and it has been part of the Market scene for ages. Owner Lilian Sears started her career here as the counter staff – these days, she’s still pouring the friendliest cup of coffee in town.

All the right stuff: great ingredients prepared to be as tasteful and as healthy as possible. You'll find lots of low fat, low-cal, and even gluten-free options which Deano cooks to be even healthier (the sausage, for instance, is as light as sausage can be) – the result is one great tasting pizza. Lots of other Italian dishes here, too, one reason the place is very popular when crowds gather for West Patio music. (Critic Favorite)

Perhaps the quintessential “local favorite,” Du-par’s has been around almost as long as the Market itself. Some believe the phrase “comfort food” was created to describe this beloved diner. It’s open 24 hours so you can satisfy your Du-par’s craving anytime, day or night.

Simply perfect Cajun cooking has made this spot an all-time favorite for locals and visitors alike. The beignets are phenomenal (try them drizzled with chocolate!), the gumbo is fantastic, the po’boys are perfect. Be warned: when they tell you that the blackened dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, even a meat loaf po’boy) are hot, they speak the truth. (Critic Favorite)

Real and really good Korean fare – sample the barbecued meat or chicken, to be sure, but don’t neglect some of the best vegetables ever served.

The fare here is Mexican, but it is decidedly not typical: Chef Jimmy Shaw’s fare is genuine Mexican, built on family recipes which generations have tested and perfected. Lighter than typical Mexican fare and infinitely more flavorful, the entire menu is absolutely unique – and utterly delicious. (Critic Favorite)
