Joans on Third (LV's LA)

I believe in love. I know you do too. There are some places that are, well, how do I say it? How about love at first bite. Yes, Joans on Third is a food lovers paradise. This cute little spot is an ultra posh deli, cafe and gourmet marketplace all in one. It is very reminiscent of Dean and Deluca in New York. Or if you have never been to Dean and Deluca, imagine if Williams Sonoma had a deli, restaurant and bakery inside of it.

Fresh salads, unique and flavorful salads, great coffee and mouthwatering desserts. This place has it all. I love taking my son to some of my favorite places and this is a place that is appropriate to take a child. The casual vibe makes it great to take a little one and the outdoor seating is great for relaxing under an umbrella of California sunshine. My son now loves Joans on Third as much as I do. This spot is one I have enjoyed for many years. There is always something delicious to try, but some of my favorites are: the chinese chicken salad, short rib sandwich. mac n cheese and many of the seasonal roasted vegetables.

Their short rib grilled cheese sandwich is the stuff dreams are made of. Crispy buttery grilled bread, tender shortribs, caramelized onions, arugula and cheese. Oh, you don't eat meat? me neither. Okay, I do every once in a while. This short rib sandwich made me cheat on my poultry and seafood. This is worth the occasional splurge and you can try the plethora of rainbow colored salads to make you feel less guilty.

 This is perfect any time of day. Breakfast, lunch,dinner.

This delicious salad corn, jicama and lots of fresh herbs and edamame was delicious.
