Here's where to eat if you're in downtown L.A.

From the colorful macarons in the pastry cases to the small plates on the menu, it’s tough to decide on an order. Whatever you try, a must is the portobello fries ($10). I expect something greasy, like the typical fried mushrooms, but these tender spears are coated in a smooth, almost pretzel-like breading. It flakes off easily, but that’s a small prices to pay for the light crunch. The juicy vegetable with the dry, savory breading offers plenty to chew on, and it all explodes when you dunk in the bright aioli. The result is creamy and fresh, decadent without feeling gluttonous.
