Doesn’t matter if it’s lunch or dinner, this is my go to.
The Daisy is a restaurant with counter service and a small retail marketplace. Service is efficient and the staff is warm and friendly. My order never changes: the little gem salad with chicken salad. Cherry tomatoes, radish, fresh herbs, crispy onions, and a lemony green goddess dressing that is bright and satisfying every time.
I also love their signature mezze plate, which is perfect to share. It comes with beet muhammara, hummus, labneh, olives, zhoug, a six minute egg, and grilled flatbread. Their seasonal soups are always delicious, made fresh daily and served with grilled sourdough.
They offer online ordering, which makes takeout easy. Reservations are accepted for groups of 6 or more. You can email anytime or call during business hours.
Bar seating is a favorite. You can grab another drink without having to get up and wait in line. Their wine selection is solid, and the overall flow makes dining feel relaxed even during busy hours.
Located in the Cultural Arts District near the Granada Theater inside Victoria Court, it is a great stop before a show or an easy, reliable meal any time of day.
The small retail section is thoughtfully curated with produce, pantry goods, fresh dips, spreads, and pickly things. Add in in house pastries and bread, seasonal specials, and outdoor patio seating, and it is easy to see why this place stays in my regular rotation.
Parking is easy. City Lot #5 is located behind the restaurant. Enter on Chapala Street with the cross street at Anapamu Street.
Fresh, organic, and consistently good.
