Anisette Brasserie

In France, a brasserie is a neighborhood restaurant, open all day, serving classics like breakfasty egg dishes, onion soup, roast chicken and tons of frites. That's the idea at Anisette, helmed by L.A.-renowned, Paris-born chef Alain Giraud. From offerings of oysters and absinthe-based cocktails to the dazzling belle epoque decor (even the zinc bar was poured in France), a leisurely day at Anisette is a transformative, oh-so-urbane experience. You’d never know that the hustle-and-bustle of 3rd Street Promenade is only a couple hundred yards away.
