A health-forward Westside brunch institution that has held its corner of Wilshire for over two decades, building a menu around organic ingredients and dedicated fitness plates that most breakfast spots skip entirely.

It leans into cleaner-feeling grain and salad combinations, making it a useful option for weeknight takeout when you want Mediterranean flavors without heavy sauces.
Must-Try Dishes: Souvlaki chicken rice bowl, Za'atar fries, Chicken avocado bowl

$ Sawtelle Steakhouse
A delivery-only steak operation built on a single conviction: grass-fed, pasture-raised beef seasoned with sea salt and Telicherry peppercorn, no seed oils or hormones involved. The $34 New York strip hits a fair price point for the sourcing claims, and fans who connect with the clean-eating angle tend to stay loyal. The thin review base and polarized feedback — some deliveries land well, others arrive overcooked — mean the concept is still proving whether its execution can match its ethos at scale.
Must-Try Dishes: 10 oz Grass-Fed Pastured New York Strip, 15-Hour Organic Bone Broth, Mixed Organic Greens
What Makes it Special: Single-focus steak concept using only grass-fed, pasture-raised beef with no seed oils, no hormones, and no antibiotics — seasoned simply with sea salt and organic Telicherry peppercorn.
