Here you will find M+A's guide to local culinary delights. We'll give you the low-down on where "everyone who's anyone" is dining.

We also recommend that you take a look at Peter's article, An Ugly Day of Wine Tasting before wondering into a winery or venturing into a vineyard.

Here are the current restaurant reviews:

Trimana Cafeteria
Lobby of 5757 W. Century Blvd.

"How do they do it?" wonder fans of this "spectacular deal" continental cuisine cafeteria. This gem of a lobby cafe has definitely made its mark. Non-believers who show up during any lunch time rush will witness the hoards of building tenants who come for the convenience, but return because it's easier than walking down the street to Carl's Jr. Although the salads-by-the-pound run about as much as an Italian sports car, they are definitely a "perennial favorite" among the time-constrained patrons. And this year, Trimana was voted the building's Most Popular restaurant; P.S. needless to say, prepare for the "daunting crowds."

Ammo

Located in an unpleasant section of Hollywood (Highland, south of santa Monica Blvd.), and mentioned in every gossip column as the restaurant of choice of Mick Jagger and Elisabeth Hurley, this simple, cool and trendy restaurant serves great healthy oriented food and relaxing ambiance. Check out the Vegetarian Lasagna, the pizza and, above all, get plenty of flat bread and olive oil to munch while waiting for your food.

Friendly service, great for a quick lunch or an intimate dinner.

Appetizers $ 7-9

Entrees $ 12-15

The Little Door

Still a scene after more than 4 years (the average lifespan of a trendy-hip-cool restaurant in LA seems to be 3 years -- i.e. Atlantic, Christopher Ciccone's THC spot on Beverly Blvd), the Little Door has managed to constantly offer a cozy, welcoming patio, reliable, good food and a big parade of celebrities -- like Mick Jagger whom I spotted a couple of Friday nights ago. Try the Roquefort/caramelized pecan/peach salad, perfect on summer night, the spicy tuna tartar or the couscous. I'm not crazy about their dessert menu, except for the flourless walnut choc cake - sinful.

Appetizers $ 8-15

Entrees $ 18-30

Urth Cafe

A cross between a Starbuck's and a neighborhood restaurant, Urth offers the best lattes, cappuccinos ands caffeine blends in town. Soups, salads and sandwiches are large and tasty and the ratio price/quality excellent. Busy at all time of day, it is particularly difficult to get a table on the patio after 9. Great celebrity spotting.

Very reasonably priced
