Botanica

Health-conscious, airy and bright (but with a tad bit of grunge), this all-day eatery is essentially Silver Lake incarnate. Since opening Botanica in 2017, owners Emily Fiffer and Heather Sperling have built a dedicated following with flavorful, light dishes like Turkish eggs and white bean hummus by day and shaved celery root salad and roast chicken with romesco by night. Throw in the cute, well-curated market out front for natural wines and gourmet goods, the occasional author talk or wine tasting event and a bevy of floral, herbaceous-leaning cocktails and you've got the recipe for an ideal Silver Lake neighborhood restaurant with a little bit of something for everyone. For a little sweet treat during the day, order the “cake for breakfast,” a gluten-free coconut cake with passionfruit cream and jam.
