The Ivy Le Petit Four Pane E Vino Pinot Hollywood | |
|
THE IVY 113 N. ROBERTSON BLVD., LOS ANGELES (310)274-8303 | |
|
The Ivy is the quintessential power lunch spot in LA. See Dining | |

LE PETIT FOUR 8654 W. SUNSET BLVD., WEST HOLLYWOOD (310)652-3863 | |
| It’s the type of crowd that leaves its cell phones on the tables, and there’s usually at least five goin’ off at a time. The bistro food is good and the outdoor seating lends a Euro feel. The fresh salade nicoise is excellent. But the people watching is what’s truly unbelievable...lots of "producer" and "manager" types handing out cards to chicks with big tits. This place is as ridiculous as it gets, with necks craning to check out who’s coming in. There’s never really anyone famous here, except in their own minds. | |

PANE E VINO 8265 BEVERLY BLVD., LOS ANGELES (213)651-4600 | |
| Good power lunch as studio execs from the nearby CBS camp come crawling. The Italian fare is awfully good...any of the pasta specials will do the trick. Be sure to get a table in the garden, weather permitting. It’s one of the nicest in town. And don’t forget your shades if you want to fit in. | |

PINOT HOLLYWOOD 1448 N. GOWER ST., LOS ANGELES (213)461-8800 | |
| Another major power lunch filled with execs from nearby Paramount, in the heart of Hollywood. Usually a plethora of B list celebs on hand from Martin Lawrence to Lorenzo Lamas (or was that C list?). The food here is excellent…Lobster Ravioli in Brodo special was to die! Expense account it, unless you like spending eight bucks for a bottle of water. |
