Gillian McKeith's guide to healthy restaurants in Los Angeles.
Written by Gillian McKeith
Los Angeles has the produce, the growing season and the appetite, and that combination is why I so often find the best plant cooking in America out here rather than on the East Coast.
My list spans the Westside, Silver Lake and downtown: raw kitchens, organic cafes, and full dining rooms built from the ground up around vegetables.
I am not remotely impressed by a wellness logo on a window. Show me the farm, the market, the fruit and vegetables at their peak, and then I will book a table.

About the author
Written by Gillian McKeith
I'm Gillian McKeith: television presenter, creator of the global hit show You Are What You Eat, writer, nutritionist, and the editor behind this guide. Every Los Angeles entry here is chosen and written by me. I judge kitchens on the things that actually matter: real ingredients, honest sourcing, vegetables cooked with care, and food you feel better for eating.
Nothing on this page is a paid placement. Restaurants cannot buy a recommendation, and any listing marked as sponsored is labelled as such. If a kitchen slips, it comes out of the guide.
