Café 2001

The Best Restaurants For Lunch In Downtown LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Ambiance isn’t Café 2001’s forte, but this quiet all-day bistro at least shines where it counts: serving an elegant Japanese-European menu that’s sophisticated enough for a proper sit-down lunch. For a place that serves elegant dishes like beautifully marbled terrines and pork tenderloin sandos with rosy cross sections, Café 2001 is speedy like a fast-casual restaurant. Everything arrives within minutes, so you can be in and out before your post-lunch meeting, but we recommend carving out time for Café 2001’s creative coffee drinks and a slice of one of its excellent fruit tarts." - brant cox, sylvio martins, cathy park
