Ruba's Bakery & Bistro

"There's sure to be a crowd at this Arts District charmer, housed in a casita dating back to the 1940s. The space is fronted by umbrella-shaded tables facing a papel picado-strewn street. Inside and out back, it's all quite comfortable.This casual bistro serves throughout the day, and there is a coffee counter and display case of conchas, croissants and donuts, among other treats. More substantial offerings include cheese and charcuterie, salads, sandwiches and wood-fired pizza. At brunch, order the chilaquiles (available only Friday-Sunday), served in a skillet with crisp yellow corn tortilla chips soaked in a morita chile sauce, accompanied by diced bits of roasted lamb and a Valle de Guadalupe-style consommé. The freshly baked bolillo is great for dipping in the broth." - Michelin Inspector
