Tucked away in an enclave between Los Feliz and Glendale, Atwater Village is a laidback, often overlooked neighborhood--except by the Beastie Boys, who set up shop here back in the early 90s to record “Check Your Head.” Today, the strip is holding its own with plenty of good eats. Check out our list for tasty Atwater Village restaurants. (Photo: Baracoa Cuban Cafe)

Where to Eat in Atwater Village

  1. 1 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Atwater Grill
    Read Reviews

    3143 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    Atwater Village's best-kept secret for the cheapest eats this side of a fast food bag. Deli sandwiches, gyros and, um ... can you say double-bacon cheeseburger, fries and a drink for under five bucks?

  2. 2 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Tacos Villa Corona
    Read Reviews

    3185 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    This Atwater dining institution may be short on seating (try four chairs and two tiny tables on the sidewalk), but they more than make up for it with crave-worthy breakfast burritos and a mean meatless menu.

  3. 3 4 Star Rating: Recommended Canelé
    Read Reviews

    3219 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    This popular neighborhood bistro offers comforting fare made with seasonal ingredients in a warm atmosphere that includes a communal table. Don’t miss the thick, fluffy French toast for brunch.

  4. 4 4 Star Rating: Recommended Baracoa Cuban Cafe
    Read Reviews

    3175 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    Inexpensive and authentic, this cozy joint is a mom-and-pop affair with just enough candlelight to make it a budget date-night destination. Word of warning: If you’re craving arroz con pollo, don’t wait until late--when it’s gone, it’s gone.

  5. 5 4 Star Rating: Recommended Viet Noodle Bar
    Read Reviews

    3133 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    Not your standard pho shop, this contemporary take on a Vietnamese noodle joint serves up everything from jackfruit noodles to spicy sardine sandwiches in a minimalist setting with one long communal table.

  6. 6 1.5 Star Rating: Poor Sweets For The Soul
    Read Reviews

    3169 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    These gourmet treats may put a dent in your wallet, but you get what you pay for. In this case, to-die-for brownies made with organic, preservative-free ingredients and decadent Valrhona chocolate.

  7. 7 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Village Bakery & Cafe
    Read Reviews

    3119 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    Organic coffee, artisanal bread and fresh-baked muffins and scones are reason enough to stop by this Atwater cafe, but there’s also a tasty breakfast and lunch menu with hearty scrambles, fresh salads and sandwiches.

  8. 8 4.5 Star Rating: Recommended Kaldi Coffee & Tea
    Read Reviews

    3147 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    In a neighborhood that prefers independently-owned establishments to chains, it’s no surprise that Atwater’s favorite cup of coffee (roasted in-house) comes from this beloved coffee shop and not one of the two Seattle-based mega-chains nearby.

  9. 9 4 Star Rating: Recommended Tam O'Shanter
    Read Reviews

    2980 Los Feliz Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90039 (map)

    Those looking for old-school meat and potatoes and prime rib dinners are wise to stop by this Scottish fairy-tale cottage. And the pub ain't so bad either.
