California Canteen

This is a great spot near the studios and just around the hill from the valley. Service is not rushed... and may feel slow for those who are used to quick meals. The ambience is great, so sit back and relax and enjoy the experience. The baked salmon with lemon sauce is fantastic and highly recommended. It's a bit hidden so watch for the sign, valet parking is the way to go as street parking is limited.

Believe it or not, this is actually a french restaurant highlighting food from southern france and the basque region of spain. I would probably say the food is 3.5 stars but i will round up since the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. looks can be deceiving as it looks to me like something of a dive bar from the outside. C'est faux mon frere!
