LA’s Best New Restaurants Of 2021 - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Even if your interest in restaurants has been somewhat casual this year, chances are you’ve at least heard of Gigi’s. This upscale French spot is one of the most talked about LA openings thanks to a sexy space on a Hollywood side street and a crowd with more IMDB credits than the Friends reunion cast. A great night here is one that features big entrances, loud outfits, several rounds of oysters and martinis, and eavesdropping on at least one neighboring table trying to figure out how to get ayahuasca across international borders. It’d be easy to write this place off as an average see-and-be-seen type spot, but Gigi’s breaks the mold because their food is delicious. The daily crudos are fresh and interesting, the carmelized onion-topped cheeseburger is great to share on a date (or hog for yourself while sitting at the bar), and the mustardy steak frites is one of our favorite versions in town. And yes, the fact that an Avenger is sitting one table over doesn’t hurt either." - brant cox, kat hong, arden shore
