Baby Bistro, Victor Heights area of Los Angeles, with Owners, Chef Miles Thompson and Andy Schwartz Part 2

“Chef Miles Thompson (ex-Michael’s in Santa Monica) of Baby Bistro is never one to shy away from creative, contemporary, ingredient-driven cuisine, whether it’s at an iconic Westside restaurant or one of his roving pop-ups. At this Victor Heights brick-and-mortar, the tiny, craftsman cottage-like space is intimate and rustic with modern vibes — just the place for the ever-evolving seasonal menu and well-curated wines to match.”“Perched on the edge of Chinatown, Baby Bistro joins its Alpine Street neighbors Perilla, Baker’s Bench, Cassell’s, and Heavy Water Coffee in what is quickly becoming one of the city’s quirkiest courtyards, and a must-visit destination for in-the-know diners. A self-described “bistro of sorts,” the former roving pop-up is the brainchild of chef Miles Thompson (formerly of Michael’s) and co-owner Andy Schwartz, a seasoned wine pro from Lolo in East Hollywood.” “Set in a restored 100-year-old Victorian bungalow, the intimate 35-seat dining room and adjacent covered patio feels plucked from a different era (or maybe just Europe), with its warm-wood interior, built-in wine shelves, and rustic outdoor seating. The menu is focused and tight, with eight-ish dishes that rotate with the seasons. (Closed on Sunday & Monday.) A good strategy for diners of 2, or more, is just to order the whole menu.” Not as crazy as it sounds.Taking another break (preparing for service) to stay with us are Chef Miles Thompson and Restaurateur Andy Schwartz.
