"Loupiotte Kitchen in Los Feliz does an excellent French breakfast that feels like a friend lovingly whipped it up for you in their apartment. The omelets and soft scrambles are simple and full of butter, and that same homey (butter-heavy) approach is applied to their steak frites. This cute cafe nails the cooking time on the flat iron, so much that the provided steak knife feels like a suggestion. The gravy-like au poivre has a pleasant smooch of peppercorns and is just runny enough to zamboni it up with the soft, thick-cut fries. We love that they throw in a little bistro salad, too—do as the French do and save it for a final palate cleanser." - sylvio martins, brant cox, cathy park, garrett snyder
