I'm incredibly grateful for the exceptional level of health consciousness in L.A. that results in a plethora of healthy eating options.
Real Food Daily (RFD) is one of my go to spots when I'm out and about. All organic, vegan, and gluten free cuisine, the meals here leave me energized and ready to tackle whatever errands remain for the day. If you're not vegan, don't let that deter you. Everyone I've introduced to this restaurant has enjoyed their meal (unless they're lying to me). ;) If it's your first time, you may want to order one of the Mexican food dishes; such as, their "Famous Tacos" or "Supreme Burrito".
RFD also delivers and if you're a wine drinker, you might want to visit on a Wednesday when wine is 50% off.
For those of you on the lookout for celebrity sitings - I've seen Rick Fox and Alicia Silverstone here. Also, if you're looking for some great shopping...The Beverly Center is just down the street!
