Address: 8474 Melrose Ave Zipcode: 90069 Phone Number: +1 323 655 6277 Website: http://www.lucques.com Since 1998, locals have been heading here for chef Suzanne Goins earthy Mediterranean cooking. The decor is elegant and simple, and you cant go wrong with either a booth or a spot in the garden. Ingredients from the local farmers markets influence the menu here, so the freshest and most in-season ingredienton vevail. Best bets include the antipasto plate, the Crisp Duck Confit and the Saddle of Rabbit with Wide Ribbon Noodles and Tuscan Black Cabbage. Cheeses and desserts are just as tempting; try the Vanilla Pot de Creme, or a cup of Valrhona hot chocolate to cap off a great meal. If you come for dinner on Sunday, be aware that the only menu is a prix-fixe menu.
