Californian French

Rank 6. Vin Folk
Wine Bar
Kevin De Los Santos and Katya Shastova have opened a neighborhood wine bistro in Hermosa Beach where the mussels tart arrives in flaky pastry with fennel cream, and chili crab nestles into warm risotto. The room feels unhurried, the wine list approachable, the cooking deliberately generous—each plate designed for sharing, each flavored with a wandering international hand. Book ahead.

Rank 7. Manuela
Southern
In a stark gallery-like room within the Hauser & Wirth complex, the open kitchen channels Southern restraint through locally sourced ingredients and house-made cocktail components. Biscuits arrive warm and laminated; a roasted duck breast arrives bronzed and spare, balanced on smoked onion purée with peaches—the work of a kitchen that knows when to stop.

Rank 9. Rossoblu
Emilia-Romagna Italian
Steve Samson's restaurant channels the cooking of Emilia-Romagna with unadorned clarity—redeye tuna tartare arrives with avocado purée and lavash, housemade tagliatelle swims in pork-and-beef ragù, tiramisu arrives topped with candied cocoa nibs. The pleasure here is in quality ingredients and restraint, not innovation.
