"I think Baby Bistro captures the best of backyard cooking in a tiny, homey restaurant tucked between Chinatown and Echo Park: a full-service evolution of the Normandie Club pop-up with a limited, approachable six-entree, two-side menu driven by seasonal farmers market ingredients. I recommend sharing everything — a seasonal standout is the playfully textural spaghetti squash with dates, passion fruit, and a sweet brown butter powder — and it’s an ideal cozy date-night spot for eastsiders." - Astrid Kayembe
