"Think dining at a museum requires toting a silver tray? Meet Lulu. This charming restaurant may be nestled within a courtyard at the Hammer Museum, but there's nothing ho-hum about it. Helmed by David Tanis with a little help from none other than Alice Waters, Lulu rewards guests who take a midday break from grokking the art. Fresh produce on display is more than just a design element; it's a hint at the philosophy of this spot, where the three-course and à la carte menus shift daily.Solid cooking leans heavily into the seasons while letting the ingredients shine. Dishes are a moving target, but a recent meal of blood orange citrus salad, chicken saltimbocca and Meyer lemon gelato proves that hyper-seasonal and local always steal the show." - Michelin Inspector

"Lulu is a giant, serene patio at the Hammer Museum in Westwood that's the perfect place to lounge around on a sunny afternoon and pretend you’re deeply embedded in Alice Waters’ inner circle. There’s an approachable a la carte menu full of fresh focaccia sandwiches, vegetable soups, and rainbow-colored salads, but the restaurant also offers a three-course prix-fixe option that changes every day. Nothing on the menu blew us away, but Lulu’s simple dishes are made with top-notch local ingredients that taste good." - brant cox

The 15 Best LA Restaurants For Dining Solo - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Lulu is a museum restaurant that doesn’t feel like a museum restaurant. It’s in the breezy courtyard of The Hammer, the menu is designed by the legendary Alice Waters of Chez Panisse, and massive tree lanterns hang above the quiet patio. There’s a non-stuffy a la carte menu of fresh focaccia sandwiches, vegetable soups, and rainbow-colored salads, but the restaurant also offers a three-course prix fixe option that changes daily. Come here if you want to do the whole farm-to-table thing after a solo museum day at one of LA’s best free museums." - nikko duren, brant cox
