Here are three downtown Los Angeles restaurants highly regarded by local chefs that you might want to check out for yourself:
1. Broken Spanish
It's pretty easy to find Mexican food in L.A. But what do you do when you want memorable, out-of-the-ordinary Mexican food? Fellow chefs like to go to Broken Spanish. The tostada in particular appeals to Chef Sammy Monsour, co-author of the cookbook American Burger Revival. The roast duck is considered another standout there. Broken Spanish says it adds a 3% extra charge to its bills so it can provide health insurance for its full-time employees, but diners can have the charge removed if they wish.
2. Bestia
When you want Italian food that upgrades pasta and pizza selections and offers a range of menu items well beyond traditional fare , head to Bestia. Chef and TV personality Nathan Lyon describes it as "simplicity at its best. If you've ever been hesitant to order fish for fear that it will arrive dry, lacking flavor(味道), Bestia will change your mind." You'll also find a nice variety of desserts on the menu such as Maple Ricotta Fritters and Warm Pear Ricotta Tart.
3. Wurstkiiche
When you think of typical SoCal cooking, German cuisine probably doesn't come to mind. But Wurstktiche could help change that. The restaurant is a self-described "supplier of exotic(异国风味的) grilled sausages". To that end, the Duck & Bacon Sausage is a good place to start. Chef Tim Goodell posts that he' s addicted: "The combination of ingredients is really unique. I try to order something different every time I go in, but I can' t."
