In West Hollywood, CA: Palihouse Courtyard Brasserie
Foodie Friday: Restaurant Review
Tucked uniquely away in a little nape of West Hollywood, and surprisingly very close to Melrose and Sunset, The Palihouse is a boutique hotel with a French grace and LA feel. It is a Tablet hotel and they are well versed in chic!
For instance, when I checked in on FourSquare there was a tip left by Demi Moore mentioning that the courtyard was a great place to hold a breakfast meeting – and that is exactly where we found ourselves at brunch and I was told her favourite table!
Their chef, Mike Bryant, comes from rural Virginia where he developed his love for farm fresh ingredients while learning his way around the kitchen from his French mother. His mother did an excellent job!
The Palihouse Courtyard Brasserie features and amazing brunch that would make a staunch vegan second guess staying away from bacon! Their bloody-mary and coffee from Trinidad are a complete must, as are the French breakfast breads. Their brunch menu has something for everyone and they will customize in order if you ask nicely.
On the morning we dined it was rather cold and they set up a gas fueled heater near our table. The service is impeccable – I think they thought I was a producer and Ola was a Swedish actor. I did not see the wait-staff fawning over anyone else at the place.
Enjoy!
