We went here for Sunday Brunch. The Food: Everything was really good, however the chef's french toast with house baked brioche/challah was fantastic. The chilaquiles with house-made tortilla chips was epic. The service was awesome. Everyone that works here was so friendly and nice, especially the bar staff. The ambiance was super cool. Outdoor patio was rustic with rocks on the ground (kind of like a hidden picnic vibe). Overall this place was very impressive. I will 100% be returning again. read more

I LOVED dining at Bacari on 3rd. The space/ambiance is simply gorgeous, the food is spectacular, and the service is 10/10. I went on Valentine's Day for dinner and was so impressed. I love trying a variety of foods and their menu is so fantastic for that because the plates are smaller and you're meant to order a few of them. I tried a few a their cocktails, the valentine ones and an espresso martini, and didn't think much of them, but I care more about the food anyway and that was stellar. Some standout favorites of mine were the lamb hummus, wings, and Mac and cheese!! So delicious. Perfect for date night or celebrations. I hear they really shine at brunch too. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

Bacari W 3rd - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Enjoyed dining on the patio at this tucked-away spot serving incredible tapas. Highlights were the lamb hummus with fresh pita, shawarma tacos, and my favorite was their shrimp ceviche, perfectly marinated and fresh. The Bacari fries with bacon sauce and eggs were flavorful and the Crab Cake Benedict was delicious, though the egg was slightly undercooked. Drinks were refreshing, and the bread pudding was outstanding! Our server, Oko, was phenomenal, welcoming, attentive, and walked us through the menu since it was our first visit. Excited to come back and definitely recommend grabbing some food and drinks here. read more

ASK FOR MANNY! Best service of my life. I was wowed. Stunning, beautiful, incredible. King. I Manny.

If you're being taken care of by Shayla, you're in good hands. 10/10 experience with my girls for drinks and dinner.

I've been coming to Bacari since last year or so and always have dinner but this past Mother's Day I went to my first brunch and it was great. My mom loved it, it was her first time there so I had her try all my favorites but I want to come back for the pancakes! It's beautiful at night and during the morning time. There was excellent service from the server and the host Paiton! Paiton answered any questions I had while juggling a busy day, so I appreciate her. I'm going to make everyone I know fall in love with this restaurant just wait read more

Absolutely loved my experience here! The place is gorgeous, anywhere you sit is beautiful. I came on a Wednesday and 8pm and it was packed! Definitely a popping, happening spot. Service was very attentive, and knowledgable. We ordered 5 plates between two of us - and it was MORE than enough. Even though its tapas style, the portions are quite large and filling. They recommend 2-3 plates per person, I think two is enough. Let's talk food- The burrata and baguette was probably my favorite thing. The pesto, cheese, and tomatoes were SO cold and refreshing, and the baguette was warm. I could eat this all day. The shrimp and calamari lettuce cups were good! They were my least favorite thing, but it was a unique flavor, something different, and I loved the yuzu mayo. The scallops were AMAZING. The creamed corn that accompanied it was delicious, but the scallops were really so tasty and cooked perfectly. The pear and brie pizza was good! I wish it had more brie, but I think that's just because I love brie. Finally, the chipotle cauliflower was really great. The chipotle was so good, the cauliflower was crispy, these were addicting. All in all we spent $48 a person after tax and tip and we were so full - personally I think that's a great price for everything we ordered and I will definitely come back here. read more

One of my favorite restaurants in LA!! I think I've tried pretty much everything on the menu at this point and it's all amazing! I love that everything is small dishes so they're easy to share (plus then you can order more things). The cocktails are so yummy too! And the vibe is killer - the Italian feeling patio with the cute lights and trees, makes for such a lovely vibe. The service is always outstanding as well! read more

Was taken here on a date and had the BEST dinner experience this past weekend. I've only been to Bacari once for brunch years ago but the night just hits different. It's the perfect date night spot with beautiful and romantic vibes. Oko waited on us that night and I'm grateful we were sat in her section! She was extremely friendly and helped us navigate the menu. The place is set up for shared plates so is good for groups or 2 people. Everything we had was a conversation because everything was so delicious. I told my date that I haven't had a meal that great in a very long time. We ordered the sea bass, street corn, scallops and stuffed mushrooms. It was the perfect amount. With every first bite, we looked up at each other with amazement and were constantly saying, "OMG this is so good!" The sauces they created to pair with the food were delicious! For desert we had the doughnuts - clearly these were handmade and came out piping hot with a lavender cream and a caramel sauce on the side. Everyone around me was ordering the Watermelon Margarita. Of course I had to try it (got mine with Tajin). Don't skip on that drink! It's a must try. All in all, it was a wonderful experience made perfect by the personable and knowledgeable Oko! Thank you sooo much for taking such great care of us! It would have been a totally different experience without her. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items! read more

My daughter brought me here for a late Mother's Day dinner. She's raved about this place for so long and I finally got to try it. It was honestly such a cool and trendy vibe! It was PACKED, but we had reservations and were seated right away. We tried a little of everything, and each dish came out quick and fresh. This would be a vegetarian's dream! I could definitely be a vegetarian if I could prepare dishes like these. They do have meat dishes, and they too were amazing. All of it was just superb!! Can't wait to go back! Oh! And the prices..... Imagine being in a super hip and cool restaurant surrounded by the trendiest looking people, eating some of the best dishes I've ever had, while the prices are head scratching? I mean, you get QUALITY, for what is, in my opinion, chump change! read more

Bacari absolutely blew us away! We came in as a big group -- 19 people -- and they handled it like pros from start to finish. From planning ahead to the night of, their service was nothing short of spectacular. They really accommodated us, gave us the space to do our thing, and never once made us feel rushed (even though we were definitely on the loud side). We truly appreciated that level of hospitality. A special shoutout to Leah, our amazing hostess, who welcomed us with such warmth and professionalism. She had the patience of God to be able to handle such at big table and did it with a smile. The food? Astounding. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully presented. The sea bass was absolutely yummy. And the Love Letter (cocktail) was absolutely amazing. Shouts out to the bartender on making them consistently the same. I should know because our table ordered 19 of them in total. If you need a spot that can deliver great food, top-notch service, and a fun, welcoming vibe (even for a big, lively crowd), Bacari is a must-visit. We'll be back for sure! read more

Bacari W 3rd - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

After shopping at the Grove, we decided to look for a place for a quick dinner. We saw Bacari has many good reviews and wanted to give it a try. We have no reservation, but the hostess was so nice to give us a table as long as we can finish by a certain time. Sounds good. After going through a very mysterious brick tunnel, when the door opened we immediately felt the cozy, romantic vibe restaurant. The ambience was very romantic and the restaurant was decorated with sting lights. We were seated by the tree, a tight spot but perfect for staying close to my partner. After reviewing the menu, we decided to order a few items, the menu is tapas style so the portion was small but allowing us to try a few things. We had the scallop, Brussels sprouts, the shawarma tacos and the pork belly. We finished our dinner with the double chocolate cake. It was a wonderful and romantic dinner. I'd like to come back and try their breakfast /brunch. read more

Standout service especially from Justin! Love a restaurant (or any business) whose favorite word is yes! Food is very fresh and well-prepared. Favorite dishes include the bread pudding (wow!), thin-crust pizza with high quality fresh mozzarella, burger and kale salad. The heat in some of the dishes/beverages is a little too much for us -- but you can ask them to take it down. Crowd, which is young, gets a little loud. But the setting is lovely and it's quieter inside which still allows you a view of the courtyard. read more

Love, love, love this place! Such a beautiful, yet chill spot for dinner or drinks with friends. The food is meant to be shared, which I love cause you can try so many different things on the menu. I can't even begin to pick a favorite item, but you must try the ceviche for sure. And they have a great drink menu too, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Definitely will be back here! read more

interior is such heart eyes! such a nice restaurant I feel like your transported to another city once you walk through the doors - Brussels sprouts: 4/5 love the sauce and baked taste! Some had stems which were hard but other than that such a green healthier option - burger: 3/5: I was expecting a real burger but it was like a deconstructed burger without a bun. good tasty and healthy but not the burger you would expect - chilaquiles: 4/5: love the texture, not too heavy. Nice touch with the pico de gallo. Not a big bowl for 1 person but I would def get this plate again. - pancakes: 3/5: so pretty and loved the fruit. I felt like it was more on the blander side and very doughy (maybe because it's whole wheat??) I heard their French toast was amazing though so maybe we'll get that next time! Every dish was around $13-$15 and we had 4 dishes in total b/w 2 ppl and felt full after. Service was amazing 10/10. Shoutout to oko. We had a large party and our server was very accommodating and made us feel so welcomed. They also cut our cake that we brought and threw in some bday goodies. overall would highly recommend coming here if you're looking for a unique dining experience. read more

Very cute, intimate spot for a date night or small gathering. Definitely make a reservation to sit outdoors for their patio! That area would be lovely for a date night. Great selection of tapas and drinks! Taking off one star since I wish they had a more expansive dessert menu. Service was good. It's hard to find parking here so we just used the valet. Would come back again! read more

Outstanding food and service as always. Brought a friend from out of town and he was blown away. The food the ambience, decor - all exceptional. We had Brussels sprouts Chicken wings Charred broccoli Shawarma tacos Pork belly Highly recommended. Great spot. read more

I have had many lovely nights at Bacari with my friends, but our server Manny was far and away the most fun and attentive person we've met when dining or drinking here! Thank you! read more

Enjoyed our first experience at Bacari. We went for a friend's birthday and decided on shareable options. Everything was delicious and the portions worked out since everyone got a chance to try out multiple dishes. What stood out had to be the service we experienced. Our server was attentive. We chose to do the 90 min unlimited mimosas on the spot. Oko was more than helpful and patient for our party. She also brought out a complimentary dessert for the birthday. Very thoughtful! Appreciated the set up and Mediterranean feel. It was in the mid 90s when we went (late post), shade was decent but I'd suggest some fans or added shade for the future. read more

Food was amazing, our server recommended 4 plates for 2 of us and it was plenty. The service was great, plates came out à la carte and everything was delicious. The potato bureka was a showstopper. Vibes of the place were so cute, I loved the archway entrance and open patio seating. read more

My wife, son and I visit at least 1x every two months or so since we are Petersen Museum members. We usually like to try different restaurants but the service here has continued to impress us and the main reason we go back. The entire staff is always so friendly- Daniella has always been attentive. My son has a dairy intolerance and yesterday, while we were there to brunch, she went out of her way to ask the kitchen to prepare a dinner option for my son since we are introducing dairy to him. The food is always good ( we had the new pancakes and French toast with compote). My son loves the fries and the busy ambience keeps him entertained. We'll be back next month! read more

Came here on a Monday evening with some girlfriends for a dinner before the holiday break. We made a reservation on OpenTable and were sat immediately. Our server was quick to bring us tap water we requested and had some suggestions for the wine selection. We ended up going with a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand for the table. For food, we ordered two pizzas (smoked mushroom, Asian pear and Brie), stuffed mushrooms, burrata caprese, little gem salad, beef cheek, pork belly, scallops, and sea bass. The kitchen paced out our food very nicely. It didn't feel like we were ever waiting to eat or rushed. The two pizzas were lovely. If you like both savory and sweet pizzas, I would recommend either. However, my friend doesn't really like sweet so the Asian pear and brie is isn't something she wants to order again. I thought it paired very nicely together - a little caramelized with the char from cooking and gooey texture with the mild flavor from the brie. The smoked mushroom pizza was also very good. A stronger flavor with the baked mushrooms and sharp tang of the goat cheese. Both had a nice thin crust. The mushrooms were stuffed with a mixture of pesto and cheese. The mushrooms were very succulent in texture but mild in taste, which played well with the strong taste of the stuffing. The burrata caprese was as to be expected. Came with the same pesto as the stuffed mushrooms, along with some heirloom cherry tomatoes that gave a fresh pop of acid to match the creaminess of the burrata. The little gem salad was like a mini Cobb salad. The dressing to lettuce ratio was wonderful. Enough of the toppings and dressing to go with each bite but not enough to drench the leaves and make it soggy. I really enjoyed the cut of beef cheek, which came with radishes and goat cheese polenta. The meat was stewed or slow cooked to have a short rib kind of texture, but still had some pieces of tendon that I enjoyed. The polenta was especially tasty, with a kick from what I'm assuming is the Aleppo oil. The pork belly was braised in a sweet glaze and came paired with cilantro. It wasn't the most tender pork belly I've had but the flavor was there and it was quite delicious. The only thing was that a tiny part of the meat was a little tough and stringy. But overall very tasty. Lastly, the seafood dishes were only okay. The texture of both the sea bass and scallops were a bit rubbery, clearly from frozen. What saved it were the sauces and other ingredients in the dishes. The shishito peppers and corn in the sea bass gave a mild heat and sweetness to the dish. The carrot parsnip purée gave the scallops more textural variety along with the beet chips. Our overall experience was very pleasant and the food was pretty good - some dishes were clearly better quality than others. I would come back to try the ones I didn't get a chance to taste this time to see what I missed or what I can recommend to friends who want to visit this restaurant. I love the ambience. It was dimly lit and decorated with Mediterranean inspired decor. It is a little loud inside and I'm not sure about the music choice, but I would tell someone to come check it out for the food and vibes. read more

The food is delicious, we also had a very sweet and happy waitress Daniela who made the experience even better. However, the portions are getting smaller and smaller, we have been at this location before as well as the Silver Lake one and the portions were significantly larger so this time it was disappointing to say the least. We celebrated a birthday party so the restaurant gave us free proseco and free dessert, that was unexpected and wonderful! read more

The curb appeal is understated--a modest brick archway beneath a narrow band of white paint. Blink and you might miss it. Especially with Byrdie's Rotisserie next door, flexing its teal blue storefront and big, welcoming windows. But don't let the simplicity fool you. Step through the dark, narrow walkway and suddenly, the scene expands like a secret unfolding. The space opens into a warm, vibrant patio--part indoor, part outdoor--wrapped in the kind of energy that feels like you've just stepped into a dinner party at a friend's effortlessly stylish home. There's laughter in the air, subtle lighting, and a hum of conversation that wraps around you like a soft shawl. The service? Impeccable. The waitstaff didn't just know the menu--they seemed to know how to serve. How to read the table, how to make the experience feel personal without ever being performative. It's a tapas-style place--small plates, bold flavors, and the kind of rhythm that invites you to linger. We tried a handful of dishes, each bite a little revelation. Two drinks in, and the night had melted into that perfect buzz between comfort and curiosity. It was my first time there. But absolutely not my last. The space alone is worth the visit. But what makes it memorable is that the food and service rise to meet the setting. That kind of harmony is rare--and when you find it, you remember it. read more

Gorgeous restaurant, amazing vibes! We came here for happy hour and wow will I be back. It is so beautiful!!! I got the house sangria which was delicious but the standout drink was the espresso martini. For food we were only coming for a quick bite and drink but we got fries and the cauliflower. Both were good but I'm excited to come back and try more. Our server Daniela was great. We sat inside but next time I will happily wait for a table outside. The courtyard is stunning. read more

I would literally never come back here; a rat fell from the tree above our table, bounced right off, and scurried away. Apparently this is typical at bacari because the staff didn't seem to think there was a problem, and there are a ton of other reviews attesting to have had the same experience. If you wanna see live action ratatouille, go to bacari, otherwise skip it. read more

I went to Bacari this past weekend with my friend to celebrate her belated birthday. We had a great time. when we arrived we sat by the wall but it got hotter so we requested to be moved. Christopher was our first server, he frequently checked in on us and was a great server and allowed us to be moved. Oko was our next server she also frequently checked on us and even discussed similar interests with us. This visit was definitely a special one because of Oko and Christopher and I appreciate them both for accommodating us and being so attentive. I never go to restaurants anymore but this is a place I will definitely be returning to. read more

We've been to this specific Bacari a handful of times now (right after visiting Petersen Museum). Their customer service never fails but especially my girl DANIELLA!

She is so energetic and really makes the meal 10/10. read more

My bestie and I came here for brunch. I've always loved this location because of the decor and ambiance. It feels like you're stepping into someone's very well decorated backyard. We decided to split some dishes: - Shrimp ceviche: Very good, would highly recommend - Egg pizza: This is ok. It's not my favorite, and I wouldn't order it twice. - Smoked salmon pita: This was my favorite. It was the perfect size, not too big, not too small. If you're a fan of bagels and lox, this is a great option. - Bacari fries: We skipped the egg on top. Again not my favorite. The sauce on top wasn't that great, because it made the french fries soggy. The restaurant was busy, but not overly so. Maybe they were understaffed but it took forever for the drinks to come out. I also feel that a restaurant should have more than 2 bathrooms (they're all gender), especially if it gets very busy. read more
