The Best New Restaurants in Los Angeles According to Eater Editors, July 2025 | Eater LA
"Baby Bistro started as a sold-out string of rotating pop-up dinners by chef Miles Thompson (Allumette, Michael’s) and partner Andy Schwartz, and now has a permanent home in Chinatown as of May 8. It’s a charming 100-year-old Victorian bungalow that seats 35 in the same Alpine Courtyard complex as Perilla and Baker’s Bench. The duo’s new restaurant is where Thompson brings a new menu showcasing farmers market ingredients at their peak, accompanied by Schwartz’s wine selections. Though the set-up seems somewhat close to a tasting menu format, Thompson insists it is not. Always check the menu to see what Thompson procured and prepared, like the turnip tofu dish that uses Gardena’s artisan Meiji Tofu, and bread baked in a hotel pan with Walla Walla onions, butter, and onion seeds; deglazed with mirin; and finished with a light soy sauce. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest" - Matthew Kang
