Papa Cristo's Greek Grill

The 9 Best Greek Restaurants In Los Angeles

"If you go to one Greek restaurant in LA, make it Papa Cristo’s. In operation since 1948, a meal at this restaurant/market in Pico-Union feels less like eating at a traditional restaurant and more like stumbling into a neighborhood potluck at a community center. Everyone orders what they want from the deli counter in front—we love the saganaki, veggie moussaka, and any plate involving lamb—then heads to the adjoining dining room where tables are pushed together as needed. Be sure to grab some housemade Greek yogurt and honey for dessert." - sylvio martins, brant cox, nikko duren, garrett snyder
