Best Healthy Restaurants in Elysian Valley

Momed is one of the great gems in LA. From the moment you walk through the entry with the Mediterranean kitchen on full display, to the open seating area warm and inviting. You instantly fall in love with Momed. The bar is the setting where you want to camp out and try any of the hand-crafted cocktails with the sumac chicken wings and grab an order of the cauliflower, too; the rice flour-based tempura is mind-blowing. Dinner at Momed is exceptional, too- starting with the Muhammara, the fermented pepper paste with the house-made sourdough pita is life-changing. You can't go wrong with anything on the small bites list; the smoked labni in the roasted beets is mouth-watering. For your main course, try everything, but the short rib with the zhoug is a go-to every time for me, and the striped bass is also fantastic. Momed will become your favorite spot as it has mine.

Came here to celebrate my own Thanksgiving Day and was super impressed by this place and the experience! The views were spectacular and the food was top notch! My favorites were the grilled octopus, the turkey, as well as the mashed potatoes! The desserts were super good too! Service is nice, friendly, and helpful. Very professional! The only downside is that the restroom is a little filthy and no guarantee for window seating. Great for all formal and special occasions! Highly recommended!

TAO was such a great experience! Food and service was amazing and the ambiance was perfect for a birthday dinner! Great options that we could all share which made it easy to try multiple things. Will be back!

The somm was fantastic. Her communication and style were great. Really added to the experience. All the dishes were well seasoned, balanced, interesting and well executed.

I visited Mrs. Fish in DTLA the night before Thanksgiving with friends, and we had an amazing time! The atmosphere was vibrant and unique, with its stunning underwater theme and the massive aquarium adding a cool, relaxing vibe to the space. The food and drinks were fantastic—every dish we tried was flavorful, and the cocktails were perfectly crafted. The service was attentive, and the staff made sure we had everything we needed. She missed a couple of our orders but that’s understandable given she had other table to attend. The music and energy of the place were just right for a fun night out. It’s a great spot to catch up with friends, enjoy some good food, and soak in the lively downtown ambiance. I’ll definitely be coming back!
