Our annual guide to essential L.A. dining returns in December.
Last Wednesday, I finished my final bit of writing for this year’s 101 Best Restaurants in L.A., and then I met a friend for dinner at Bicyclette in Pico-Robertson.
The 101 is always a gargantuan task, a guide that’s as much about celebrating the pluralism of Los Angeles as it is about excellent places to eat. The hands and minds of so many colleagues — writers, editors and copy editors, designers and photographers — band together to produce this annual tentpole. It goes live online on Tuesday, Dec. 7, and the beautiful print version the team just completed will be in subscribers’ Sunday newspapers on Dec. 12.
The beverage program has started out strong, led by an illustrated booklet of cocktails that lean French-inspired but zigzag in all sorts of boozy directions. The apple brandy and tonic is an autumnal mood-setter and an early favorite. Most everyone talks about the impressively engineered and densely caloric caramelized onion tarte tatin — yes, you should order it your first time at the restaurant. For this dinner, we veered instead to a half-dozen Kusshi oysters in their ruffled shells; soft scrambled egg inshell with smoked sturgeon and a thimbleful of caviar; and a charming presentation escargot served individually in small vessels topped with puff pastry.
