Right now more than ever it is important to support our local farmers. Ordering takeout from restaurants who support our local farms is a way to do just that! Check out these delicious restaurants with the freshest fare throughout Los Angeles.
Manhattan House
Chef Juan Torres of Manhattan House sources his ingredients from local farms – from meat that has been hand-chosen and butchered in-house to fruits and vegetables grown in Manhattan Beach community gardens. This Italian-inspired gastropub even bakes its own sourdough onsite, which is rumored to rival the likes of San Francisco sourdough.
Salt’s Cure
Locavores are bound to love the contemporary vibe of Salt’s Cure, which sources ingredients exclusively from California. They butcher and craft their meat in house and partner with local fishermen for sustainably caught seafood fresh from the Pacific Ocean. They also get their produce directly from farmers and farmers markets in the Los Angeles area. From brunch and dessert to dinner and drinks, this restaurant is a must if you want to enjoy gorgeous plates with great service and a wonderful atmosphere – all while supporting local farmers, fishermen and producers.
Malibu Farm
If you’re in the market for fresh, local fare sourced from Southern California farms and ranches, look no further than Malibu Farm. This unique farm-to-table restaurant is the brainchild of owner Helene, who originally launched the business with ingredients grown and produced in her own personal garden and backyard farm. It has since grown in popularity and now includes items from other local producers. But you can still find some of her homegrown items on the menu, like Asian pears, persimmons and eggs.
Akasha
Akasha takes the farm-to-table movement up a notch with a dedication to eco-friendly production. The chef designs each menu based on the produce available at the local farmers market. At Akasha, you’ll enjoy delicious, locally sourced food at peak freshness. That means seasonal eating is that much easier when you settle in for a meal here. And if you’re in the mood for something a little more indulgent, you can peruse the drinks menu, which includes a wide variety of locally-produced beer, spirits and wine.
Industriel
Is there anything more fashionable than a French-inspired urban farm in the heart of Los Angeles? Industriel claims to serve the kind of cuisine you’d enjoy at your grandmother’s farmhouse in Provence … if she had sleeve tattoos. That means you can find everything on the menu from cheese boards and short rib croquettes to lamb chops with poblano pesto, coconut-brined chicken wraps and vegan ice creams. No matter which dishes you choose, rest assured that nothing you order has seen the inside of a supermarket.
