Groceries

Grocery store cannot get any more Venice/Los Angeles than Erewhon on Venice Blvd. While you can find similar groceries elsewhere cheaper, I love their coffee, cold-pressed juices and ready-to-eat lunch options

My go-to for friends catchup, date nights, celebrations - anything really. French bistro with food and wines to accompany. You can easily share a bunch of small plates or order your own entree here. Personal favorites: Olives Le bowl with grilled salmon Tomato basil lasagna (so cheesy!) Potato gratin Berry crumble (might be my favorite dessert in the area)

opened early 2022 my new favorite place in Venice. Italian inspired shared plates, good wine selection, very nice craft cocktails. Say hi to manager Mark – he is a dear friend of mine. About 15 minute walk from the house

Always good! I usually take out from here as they do not take reservations and have really mastered the art of takeout packaging so it's an experience in itself
