"Papa Cristo’s is a 75-year-old Greek market/deli in Pico-Union that’s a flat-out LA institution. It’s part deli, part bakery, and part Greek grocer, which explains why you’ll find a bunch of people loitering in their spacious dining hall. A meal here feels less like you’re eating at a traditional restaurant and more like you stumbled into a neighborhood potluck at a community center. Everyone orders what they want individually from the front counter—we love the saganaki and veggie moussaka—and then dines in the adjoining dining room, where tables are pushed together as needed. Be sure to grab some homemade Greek yogurt and honey for dessert." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren
