Best Restaurants for Foodies in La Canada

We came here once many years ago and had forgotten just how good it was. So glad we came back! Still one of the best restaurants in LA. We tried all the popular dishes: Roasted Bone Marrow, Scallop Crudo, Cavatelli alla Norcina, and Grilled Kurobuta Pork Chop. Loved every single dish! The Pork was a pleasant surprise, as we don’t normally order pork. This one was so flavorful, juicy and tender. We finished the meal on a refreshing note with the Meyer Lemon Ice Cream / Sorbet. Definitely worth coming back for!

The ambiance at the Arbour is relaxed and classy. The menu is varied and it was difficult to pare down our choices to only a few. The oysters were sweet, the beet salad refreshing, and the salmon and pork chop flavorful and perfectly prepared. The creative dessert of blackberries, lemon curd, butter cookies and sunflower seed brittle was out of this world!! Fantastic assembly of flavors. Tom was our server and couldn't have been friendlier or more attentive. Great dining experience.

Wonderful! The staff was attentive and friendly, the food was beyond descriptives, and the atmosphere was congenial enough to strike up a conversation with the next table. Highly recommended!

Great fod, great people, excellent dining experience.

Second time in and still thoroughly impressed! The first time we went, we honestly thought there was no way the food and service could be this consistently good. But here we are, back for round two, and they delivered again. We came in with a pretty diverse group: an 84-year-old Asian grandmother, a 33-year-old Southern daughter, a 48-year-old original Los Angeleno, and a 56-year-old Chicago native. Very different backgrounds, palates, and expectations, and everyone had something to love. Is it pricey? Yes. But compared to other higher-end restaurants in LA, you get a generous amount of food for what you pay. One dish didn’t quite work for our palate, and we felt it might have been undercooked. The staff handled it immediately, took it off the check, and got our replacement out quickly. No fuss, just great service. I also highly recommend the wine pairing! Huge credit to both the kitchen and the front-of-house team for delivering such a consistently great experience. We’ll absolutely be back!
