Atwater Village Restaurants

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
