The Curious Palate

Yesterday we took our bikes to The Curious Palate, located on Venice between Grandview and Inglewood.

The food is rustic, and although most of their menu consists of soups and sandwiches, there is a lot of locally sourced food.  Many of the cured meats were sourced from Northern California, and a lot of the cheese were from Eastern US.  We had the Lengua sandwich, which was slow roasted and very tender.  The picked radishes were a great complement.  The Curious Palate also features a small gourmet store, where they sell Intelligensia Coffee, gourmet chocolates, and of course, all of the meats and cheeses that they serve in their sandwiches.

Lastly, we scoped out some interesting design elements that they had incorporated into their outdoor dining area.  They had used frosted plexiglass to hide a very well trafficked garage next door.  Very nice.  They also had a wooden panel with modern looking frosted plexiglass inserts as a privacy screen.

Getting There
We biked on the Culver bike trail, across Lindblade, down Louise, and on Grandview until we hit Venice.
