Akasha
It's getting to be so that Westsiders can't even get snobby about Culver City anymore. Long vilified as the land of big box stores and nondescript strip malls, CC now boasts a legitimately vibrant downtown full of galleries, hip (if yuppie-ish) bars, and legitimately exciting restaurants like Akasha, one of Jonathan Gold's "99 Essential L.A. Restaurants" in 2011 with chef Akasha Richmond's unique vision of "organic comfort food" with sustainable-ingredient dishes targeted at both vegetarians and meat-eaters. Which means even if the Black Kale Salad scares you a little bit, the Duck Leg Ragout over green garlic gnocchi should satisfy your caloric needs with some to spare. [View Menu + Book Now] [via]
