I have been eating McGee‘s corn beef for years and years and years. I think you have to go to Ireland to get something better than this corn beef. We’ve known the owners they were friends with my aunt and they always made excellent food. Very helpful at the counter. And the atmosphere is the farmers market so the best people watching you can ever find. If you like a little bit of spicy mustard, try the mule kicking mustard with your corned beef super good.
I had a hard time deciding. I ended up getting half a sandwich and half salad combo with. a Ceasar salad and a reuben sandwich. The portions were nice size. The taste was very good, especially the corned beef. May have to get that on a plate next time. Young lady working the counter was very friendly and helpful. Made a few very good suggestions.
Update 4/1/26 I came back for the corned beef plate. I had the parsley potatoes and creamed corn. Everything was so good. The portion of corned beef was more than expected. The creamed corn was phenomenal.
We had the Reuben and Pastrami sandwiches which were sensational! The cola and fries also deserve an honourable mention.
Great mini deli look and feel. I wasn't up to just french dip instead opting for a sandwich and it didn't disappoint. The hotdogs as well as sides also looked appetizing.
Open since 1917 I would say that Maggie‘s is the most famous deli at the Farmers Market. It’s right in the center so it can get quite busy, but we were lucky enough to be first in line for our Saturday lunch. You order at the counter and then grab your food at the carving station. They don’t offer inside seating so it will have to be at one of the many tables strewn about the Farmers Market. Everything that we ordered was made pretty quickly but pricing is a bit more expensive than some other places close by, but you really do get a great quality sandwich in return. Parking at the Farmers Market is probably the hardest part, not so much in that they have limited spaces but after 90 minutes parking can get pretty expensive per hour. Just be mindful of time and if you plan to be out in less than 90 minutes, parking is free.
Being my first visit, I wanted to try their most famous sandwich which is the Corned Beef Reuben. I recently dined at Art’s Deli up in the valley and got the same sandwich and preferred this Maggie’s version a lot more. The meat is very juicy and the bread was perfectly toasty and overall the portion size was fair. Itt just had some great flavors. There are a few other places in town that I like even more, but it was a great version and I would happily order it again. I would definitely recommend to any sandwich or deli fan or to anyone who is visiting the Farmers Market and looking for a great food option.

We grew up going to Gott's in Northern California and I'm so happy they expanded to LA! It's always consistent and never disappoints.
I love their fish tacos and fries (ask for a side of ranch!). Their burgers are also delicious and I've tried many of them. Milkshakes and beverage selection are also great!
Plenty of seating! Can't wait to come back!
Oh my goshhh so was expecting good food but honestly this food is superb!! Got the honey rub fingers and the caramelized onion burger 🧑🍳💋 this is my new fav!!!
Visited during their soft open (so no alcohol yet). Really good, not too expensive given the average these days. Will return.
Ordered the California and the Gruyere burgers, fries, a peanut butter & chocolate shake and a strawberry shake, and a cookie.
Burger patties were well seasoned and cooked properly. Burgers overall had solid construction, California is a bit busy but the Gruyere was perfect. For the fries they were generous with sauces (get the garlic butter on the side!), and the shakes were delicious but very thick given a thin straw.
Staff was super attentive and polite, but also soft open so almost empty restaurant. YMMV. Validated parking.
What an experience! We from out of state. We had been to Gott’s in Napa last year and had a wonderful time and delicious meal. Their special was a pineapple burger which I absolutely loved. So when we were going to Gott’s Roadside LA this year I looked up to see if they had the pineapple burger on special. They didn’t. So I emailed them to ask if it might be available by the time we came.
Carolyn emailed me back promptly with this reply: Thank you for your inquiry and for sharing your love of the Grilled Pineapple Burger! Yes, we can accommodate your request and will prepare the burgers for you at our new LA Farmers Market location. It is important that we have the date, time, and number of special burgers so that we can prepare. It is not our current special and are fulfilling the request just for you.
It never hurts to ask. 😊
I was blown away that they would make the burgers especially for us. What an incredible establishment! This goes beyond outstanding customer service.
We were greeted right away when we arrived, welcomed and thanked for the email I had sent.
The burgers were delicious just as I remembered!!
Thank you to everyone at Gott’s for making our experience feel like we were special and delivering such delicious and fresh food.
*when you dine at this location make sure to get your parking validated so you don’t have to pay for parking. They do that for you too.
The items are pretty solid and I’m glad they opened at the Farmer’s Market. Customer service is top notch.
Garlic fries and milkshake were my favorite items. I almost rolled my eyes in bliss when I drank the milkshake and was so close to ordering another.
Would rate this a 5 if my burger was cooked properly.
I would love if they served a medium rare/medium patty because one of my pet peeves are a “well done” burger. The patty was so overcooked that I had to drown it in ketchup and hot sauce since the gruyère and balsamic onions were not saving it enough. Other than that, I would come back. Looking forward to trying other items in the menu.
And to all people complaining about the price… where do you think you are? The Original Farmer’s Market is a heavily visited area and is considered a tourist spot. ~$15 for a burger is pretty standard when dining in a lot of other restaurants. Even McDonald’s and other fast food restaurants charge almost $10 for their larger burgers. Go home and cook something if all you can complain about is just the price instead of the overall picture.

Savta at The Grove is a great little pizza find hiding in plain sight — tucked at the back of the Farmers Market, which somehow explains why I had never noticed it before. Unless you come through the Farmers Market parking… which you probably shouldn’t, because the parking might cost you roughly the same as the pizza.
The pizza itself is excellent: great selection, delicious crust, and that perfect balance of crispy, chewy, and “okay, maybe one more slice.” Staff were friendly, the vibe is casual, and it’s a nice alternative to the more obvious Grove food options.
Pro tip: Come hungry, find it from inside the Farmers Market, and park wisely — your wallet deserves to spend more on crust than concrete
Had a great experience here - everything was delicious. Service is pretty good! The pasta was perfectly cooked, the steak was juicy and flavorful, and overall every dish was really good. Definitely a place I’d come back to!
We came here when the farmers market was closing for some late night food and they were able to seat us right away. Julio was our server and he was very intentive. We had a two year old with us and he brought her a pillow so she can be seated more comfortably! He spoke to her directly and she loved it, really made
Dining with a little one so much more comfortable. The food was fantastic, came out in a timely manner and everything we had we would order again! Will definitely be back!
Located right next to Dupar’s Savta made a lovely brunch space at the busy Farmers Markt. As they validated parking for 90 minutes, you might also go for brief farmers market run right after your meal.
Reservation wasn’t required but recommended on weekends to avoid the wait. Their brunch menu was pretty interesting as each section (pizza, toast, sandwich) seemed to carry similar toppings.
We started with their Truffle Omelette just because the description on the menu made it so appealing. It’s indeed seemed simple yet lemme tell you the flavor was so rich as they chopped the truffle and mushroom into very small pieces that’s well blended with the egg. The time that dish was laid on the table, the scent made you unable to hold having a bite.
The next was actually what brought us here, the ragu pizza, serving slow-cooked ribs with fior di latte on wood-fired pizza. The crust was uniquely fluffy and pillowy and we asked for extra butter for dipping and that French butter certainly elevated it. The ribs were tender and luscious, though my friends and I agreed that we didn’t think it suited as pizza topping best.
To our surprise, the creme de la creme of our brunch was the Parma Burrata Toast. The picture could easily tell you how generously served the burrata was. Paired it with the prosciutto and pesto sauce, OMG such a flawless mix of cheesy, savory, creamy with twist of crunch. Rich combo that we all really enjoyed.
Had a great evening dinner at Savta, we got the pomegranate salad and crispy artichoke to start and ended the night with the Seafood pasta. Food was great and had great service from Franscisco.

Avoid this place – gives Singaporean food a bad name . Save your money and eat somewhere else—this place gives Singapore a bad name.
The food was practically tasteless and extremely oily. The chicken was overcooked and dry. Even the rendang didn't taste right at all—you could easily buy instant packet seasoning at the store that tastes way better.
For a place called "Singapore Restaurant," the execution lacks any genuine flavor. The chef isn't even Asian, and it really shows in the cooking. They need to go back to the basics and offer actual classic staples, like a simple, authentic Hainanese chicken rice.
You get big portions, but given how bland and greasy everything is, it's way overpriced. Anyone leaving a good review here has either never had real Asian food or is a fake reviewer.
Better to avoid this place completely and spend your money elsewhere.
Doesn’t taste anything like Singaporean food. We got the chicken rendang with rice and it looked and tasted nothing like rendang. It was a plate of dry overcooked chicken breast cooked in diluted coconut water and served over rice.
The laksa is actually atrocious. I have no idea how they can consider this Singaporean food. The laksa is completely tasteless. Besides it not being laksa, it can barely be considered food. This is hot water with noodles( with 0 salt) I paid 20 dollars for laksa that’s 20 times worse than the one at get from Choa Chu Kang. Immensely disappointed. My friends ordered satay( also hella ex) that looks exactly like kebab. The peanut sauce is also not what you expect. Apparently even the curry that came with the prata is bland and too runny.( but I didn’t try those) this review is purely for the monstrosity they call laksa.
The people were nice so I feel really bad for this review but the food really does deserve it.
Nice restaurant with descent variety of south east asian and indian dishes. Portions are big, service is good and fast.
Sadly not my favorite spot at the farmers market. So much potential but the satay plate lacked flavor on the chicken and the peanut sauce. Such a simple meal but this one is a fail. Plus it took them 30mins to prepare. My family was all done with their meals and i still waited.

I first visited here in 1978 and have thoughout the years. I don't recall it being quite that busy back in the day. It must have gotten more and more popular. There's so much history in there. With all those restaurants and kiosks, they should offer more plant-based options. I'm glad that at least there's Besties Vegan Paradise.
If you’re looking for a fun and bustling spot in Los Angeles, the Original Farmers Market is definitely worth a visit. My husband and I had a great time exploring all the different shops, stalls, and eateries. There’s so much to see!
We spent a lot of time in the main area and didn’t realize how much more there was to explore in the surrounding area. We were short on time, otherwise we would have loved to wander around even more. There’s a wide variety of food available, from fresh seafood to international cuisine, sweets, and everything in between. There’s something to satisfy every craving.
It can get busy with a lot of foot traffic, but there are plenty of areas with seating to take a break and enjoy the atmosphere. Just a heads-up: it’s easy to get turned around in here because there’s so much to explore, but that’s part of the fun.
One nice bonus is that a lot of space inside the market is covered, so even if the weather isn’t great, you won’t need to worry about rain or intense sun interfering with your visit.
Overall, we had a fantastic time sampling the food and soaking in the lively vibes. It’s a great spot for couples, families, or anyone who loves a classic LA experience!
The Original Farmers Market and The Grove are really nice places to visit. At the Farmers Market, you have so many food stalls with delicious choices from all over the world. Right next to it is The Grove, a very pretty open-air shopping mall with great stores and a relaxed vibe.
A big tip: Parking in the garage is extremely expensive. Even if you get a store validation for a discount, it still adds up fast. We stayed around 3.5 to 4 hours and had to pay $25! Normally a regular rate should be around $10 for that time.
Try to look for street parking in the residential areas nearby to save money. Overall, a great spot for lunch and walking around, just be careful where you park.
Fun place to meander around and fill up on the sights and sounds. And smells! So much wonderful food. Markets, fruit stands, toy store, candy, and so many choices of food. You can go several times and not see everything.
Plenty of seating, heaters, shade and trees. And parking! Make sure that you get it validated. There are restrooms, carts for shopping, and farmers market bags available for shopping.
Visited Original Farmers Market next to The Grove, and this place is a must-visit if you love food.
It’s not just a market — it’s a food paradise with tons of different options. From classic American food to Mexican, BBQ, seafood, desserts, and even international cuisines, there’s something for everyone.
What makes this place special is the atmosphere. It has a slightly old-school, historic vibe, but still feels lively and modern at the same time. You can just walk around, try different foods, and enjoy the energy.
The portions are generous, and most of the food I tried was solid. It’s a great spot to come with a group so you can try a variety of dishes.
Seating can be limited during busy hours, and it can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends. But that’s part of the experience here.
Overall, this is one of the best places in LA to casually eat, explore, and experience local food culture.

I had an amazing experience at E T T O R E at The Grove. I am not very familiar with the area, but we walked through the Original Farmers Market to get there and it was well worth it. The ambiance was excellent and warm with a very comforting, homely feel.
The wine selection was absolutely superb and the Cabernet is a must try. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and watching prosciutto being carved right in front of us was such a nice touch. The charcuterie boards were fabulous, especially the cheese that had pistachios in it which was hands down my favorite. The pasta dishes were rich, comforting, and perfectly cooked, and one of the salads with fennel was fresh and delicious.
We were a large group of about ten to fifteen girls celebrating my friend Taryn birthday, and Vincent took amazing care of us. His service was attentive, kind, and made the night even more special. From start to finish, everything was wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough.
Ettore is one of those rare places that perfectly matches my taste. The atmosphere instantly reminds me of the South of France and the French Riviera—elegant, relaxed, and effortlessly beautiful.
There is a sense of tranquility throughout the restaurant that makes you want to slow down and savor the moment. The ambiance feels refined yet welcoming, with a quiet sophistication that is incredibly attractive. Rather than being flashy, Ettore has a subtle charm that feels genuinely sexy in its own understated way.
Whether you’re enjoying a meal, a coffee, or simply taking in the surroundings, Ettore offers a little escape from the city and transports you to a peaceful Mediterranean state of mind. A truly lovely addition to the Farmers Market and a place I’ll happily return to.
This Italian restaurant in the farmers market is fantastic! Everything we ordered was delicious and fantastic. Vinson, the server, was exceptional. He was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, providing detailed information about each dish. He also went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction.
Happened upon the cutest, most delicious authentic Italian restaurant at the Grove in the Farmers Market. Not just a stall but a beautiful full restaurant with an amazing wine selection, amazing food and wonderful staff!!
Who would have known this great spot is such a charming corner stone to the Farmers Market.
Def worth checking out, and once you're there you'll be back again and again!
One of my favorite places to go for Italian food in Los Angeles. The ambiance feels right at home, the food is delicious + organic, and the wine is amazing! Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves a good date night or night out with your girlfriends.

Quite an aesthetic and cozy diner with both indoor and outdoor seatings. The place is pretty huge and spacious, and the interior is well decorated and maintained as well. The place is quite clean and has good music. During busy hours it does get a bit loud. The prices were good, and the portions were quite generous as well, the chicken pot pie was freshly made and smoking hot. The chicken sandwiches were also amazing with huge portions. Overall, had a great time here. However, the service could be slightly improved. Outside it said wait to be seated but we stood in the sun for a while and no one came to us, and kept us waiting while the cashier was serving other customers, it felt a bit understaffed. Even during ordering or while eating there was no staff outside so we had to wait for someone to come out if we needed anything. But other than that. Definitely worth checking the place out, would recommend.
Being Bosch fans, this was a place we wanted to try for the famous pancakes. Everything said about them is true, the pancakes are fantastic and the portions are huge. We were glad we went for the short stacks as they are more than filling and absolutely delicious. The service was also great. We found it easy to park as it was still early in the day and we were able to get our parking validated when we paid the check.
Since these are called the best pancakes in the USA I had to try. Didn’t disappoint at all. Berry infused with more on top … 3 cakes was more than plenty! Friendly service too.
The milkshakes were to low light. Very thin and not much for the high prices charged here.
Overall, it’s not cheap to eat here but these cakes are good to try once in life. YOLO
We took our daughter here for breakfast for the first time and she enjoyed it. It had been years since my wife and I had been, but we remember how good the pancakes were. My daughter had the kids plate with a pancake, scrambled eggs, and sausage. My wife had the smoked salmon plate ($23.95) and I had the two egg platter with bacon, hash browns, and sourdough toast ($25.95). Everything was flavorful. The portion sizes are huge. However, it was nearly $100 for breakfast. If you’re ok with that price for breakfast it’s worth checking out if you’ve never been.
Absolutely the best pancakes I've had for ages! We visited here after missing the chance to do so on our previous trips to LA, and being huge Bosch fans, this was on our to-do list! We knew there would most likely be a wait on a Sunday morning, but we were lucky to snag a parking spot right outside and then waited in line for about 15/20 mins (which wasn't bad on a lovely sunny day).
We chose to sit outside and were served quickly, and the servers were efficient. The drinks were lovely and the portion size was huge (I had a short stack, but it was like a whole cake!) Couldn't fault anything, and will definitely be back another time!!

Our first time visiting and we just stopped in. Food was great. I had the birria tacos with a pineapple soda. My wife had chicken nachos. The nachos easily feeds 2 people. If you're ever visiting the Grove stop by this place.
Thank you Britney for the amazing service, it made the whole meal so enjoyable!
We had the crispy avocado taco salad and the soyrizo quesadilla! Both amazing vegetarian option, would recommend both!!! Special shout out to their pico de gallo, it had my heart!
If you come here, make sure you get Bryan as a bartender. My guy is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and is so great at making you feel welcome and comfortable. Had some greats laughs. The host was cool too. Shout out to the team. Highly recommend stopping in!
Food wasn’t that bad, but they charged me $53 bucks for 1 burrito and a horchata that wasn’t good at all. They decided to tip themselves when i never even said i wanted to. It should’ve costed $42 because the burrito was 35 and the horchata was 7. Good service and atmosphere but the food is incredibly overpriced and not really that worth going to unless you wanna spend some money.
I think going to denny’s or something would be far better as they don’t have over charge you and tip themselves.
Yes food isn’t that bad but not worth wasting your money on something so expensive that you can get from somewhere else much more cheaper.
Amazing staff, everyone is so friendly! Food and drink were huge portions and delicious!! Brittany was our server and amazing! Highly recommended if you are in the area!

Wonderful market with so many high end and quality foods. Just went in for a Creme Brulee and a Canele after visiting a close by seafood stand for lunch. They will add the sugar and caramelize at the shop if you want to enjoy it at one of the many seating areas.
We ended up shopping around for a while and found some wonderful treats. Staff is super friendly, the store is very clean, well organized and packed with so many foods we would love to try. The selections and options are great. So many choices.
We gave this place a try while at the Farmers Market. The menu looked good and it seemed like a very popular place. It was a Sunday afternoon on Mother's Day and it was fairly busy, but it was a short wait for a table. Once seated we were quickly attended to and our food arrived very quickly. The Beef Bourguignon was very good, I'd say about 4.5 out of 5. Overall a great first time experience with high quality food and fast efficient service. I highly recommend giving this place a try.
Great French bistro and market with many genuine items directly from France and other Souther European countries. Steak tartare, moules and filet mignon were excellent.
If you're looking for unique European produce - that’s the place witch‘ll bring you joy.
I found a great selection of 100% chocolate from all over the world and such tasty duck and goose liver mousse. Oh, and the real butter 💛
And the restaurant is just as great as the market.
French onion soup is well balanced and juicy equator just as perfect as everything else.
Service is quick and responsive.
Great selection of extraordinary products in the store. The french baguette was still warm and delicious. In the restaurant I ordered the soup of the day, which was vegan pumpkin soup. It was so creamy and flavorful! Sandwich with turkey - lovely. Another thing we tried was potato gratin, which was fabulous, and we also had the steak and fries, and let me tell you, it was great. I'm glad that we found this gem!

We stopped by Moishe’s at the farmers market and unfortunately walked away without ordering, which is impressive because we were literally standing there trying to give them money.
We waited in line and started placing our order for the vegetarian combo. While my girlfriend was speaking, the employee’s phone rang and she immediately stopped helping us, answered her phone, and talked for about 30 seconds without saying “excuse me,” “one moment,” “sorry,” or even giving the universal customer-service finger gesture that means “hold on, I know you exist.”
She then came back and asked us to start over, like our order had been erased from her memory by the phone call.
We asked if the vegetarian combo came with five sides of our choice, because she had not asked us which sides we wanted. She said yes, then asked if we wanted anything else. At that point I asked, “Do you want to know what sides we want, or should we keep ordering?” which felt like a pretty reasonable question since the combo apparently comes with sides, not a psychic reading.
She finally asked what sides we wanted, and then immediately turned around and walked away again for another 10–15 seconds. At that point my girlfriend and I looked at each other like we were on a hidden camera show called “Can You Successfully Order Lunch?”
So we left.
As we were walking away, another customer nearby who had already ordered looked at us and said the employee had been extremely rude to her too. So apparently this was not a one-time performance, it was more of a house specialty.
The employee then came out and asked what the problem was. I told her directly that I own a restaurant and the customer service was absolutely horrible. I understand being busy. I understand phones ring. I understand people have off days. But ignoring customers multiple times during a simple order, without one basic “excuse me,” is not customer service. It is more like an obstacle course with hummus nearby.
We wanted to try the food, but the service was bad enough that we left before ordering. Customer service matters. Basic courtesy matters. And if taking an order is going to require a pause button, a restart button, and a side quest, I’ll eat somewhere else.
We enjoyed everything very much. Delicious, fresh food. Good portions. Not huge and not small, just right for a satisfying meal. The meat was tender and juicy. The order was prepared very quickly, we hardly waited at all, even though there were many people. It's great that the menu has photos, so you know exactly what you're ordering. Good price, $25 per dish on average. We ordered lamb and beef kebabs.
hate having to write this review because this restaurant has been one of my favorite places to eat for over a decade. I have brought countless family members, friends, colleagues, and business associates here throughout the years whenever we visit The Grove. Because of my long history with this establishment, this review is especially disappointing for me to write.
On June 13, 2026, at approximately 10:32 PM, I had a very upsetting experience with the lady working at the counter.
I ordered a sandwich from the sandwich station, and from the beginning she appeared irritated, making faces and displaying an unfriendly attitude. I chose to ignore it and continued with my order. A moment later, I realized I had forgotten to add a soda and politely asked if I could add one.
At that point, her attitude became noticeably worse. She continued making faces and made me feel as though I was unwelcome. Concerned, I asked, “Are you okay, ma’am? If you’re not okay, I can just go somewhere else.”
To my surprise, she responded by telling me to “GOOOO.” She then began venting about personal issues she was dealing with. While I genuinely sympathize with anyone going through a difficult time, customers should not be subjected to that kind of treatment.
I told her I was sorry for whatever she was going through and chose to leave rather than escalate the situation.
I am sharing this experience not out of anger or retaliation, but simply because I believe people should be aware. No customer—especially a loyal customer who has supported a business for more than ten years and has consistently brought friends, family, and business to the restaurant—should be made to feel unwanted or be told to leave for making a simple request to add a drink to an order.
I understand that everyone can have a bad day, but professionalism and basic courtesy should still be maintained. This experience was heartbreaking and completely inconsistent with the positive experiences that kept me coming back for over a decade.
The service here is highly questionable. My sister and I (both Mexican-presenting) waited while four other customers who arrived after us were served first. After the long wait, the order was to have no onions and was still incorrect. It was clear who was being prioritized, and they made it clear it wasn't going to be us. I won’t be coming back to a place that picks and chooses who deserves prompt or decent service.
I’ve been coming to Moishe’s Mediterranean on and off for years, and the change from what it used to be is honestly shocking — in the best way possible. The entire place feels like it went through a full reset. The atmosphere doesn’t even resemble the old version of itself: the energy is brighter, the layout feels more intentional, and the overall vibe is way more welcoming than before.
What really stood out to me this time is the staff. In the past, service was hit-or-miss, but now it’s clear the employees have been trained properly. Everyone I interacted with was attentive, quick, and actually cared about the experience. It feels like there’s new management behind the scenes because the professionalism and organization are on a completely different level.
And the food — still the star. Whatever changes they’ve made in the front of house, they didn’t mess with the flavors. Everything tasted just as good (if not better) than how I remembered it. Consistent, fresh, and packed with all the Mediterranean flavors that made me come here in the first place.
Overall, Moishe’s feels like a whole new restaurant while still keeping the quality of the dishes that made me a fan originally. The improvements are real and noticeable. If you haven’t been in a while, you’ll be surprised at how much it’s transformed.

First off, the staff was great. Very friendly, the food came out quickly, and the atmosphere was nice. Unfortunately the fish in the fish and chips wasn’t crispy in the slightest. Texture wise, it was more like a pancake wrapped around a fish than crisp batter. The calamari was very crisp, so not sure what happened with the fish. The fish quality was good, and the fries were okay.
I got the lobster roll, the fries is really tasty.
😋 the portion is okay, the bread roll is really yummy.
Tucked inside The Grove Farmers Market, Roxy & Jo’s Seafood Grill & Oyster Bar turned out to be a great find.
We ordered the hot bay scallops and the fried calamari. The scallops were surprisingly good—honestly, the standout dish. They were flavorful, well-cooked, and definitely something I’d come back for(so delicious).
The fried calamari is actually one of the reasons we came here, since it’s the only spot at the market that offers it. The calamari itself was solid, but the sauce didn’t quite hit the mark. Still, it was tasty overall.
The staff was welcoming and friendly, which made the experience even better(thanks staff).
All in all, we’d definitely come back, especially to explore more of the oyster bar. The hot bay scallops are a must-try!
One of the few places that you can sit except for the market’s tables. It is a raw bar that has the most amazing oysters—sourced from two different places. Tasted so fresh—straight from the ocean. Lance made the experience inviting and endearing. He was very attentive and personable. Will definitely come back to see him again.
Overall Average. We ordered 3 burger lobster , lobster soup, tuna bowls,plate of oysters and cockles.
Burger lobster quite tasteless and the portions of the lobster given were very generous.
Oysters were fresh. Cockles we don’t like the sauce. Is Mexican sauce that we don’t appreciate it. Inside Tuna bowl have brown rice and vegetables but the sauce is too much and spicy l.

Worst 20 dollars of my life sound so exaggerating but omg im literally sitting here thinking of what i just bought the mozzarella has ZERO flavor but the HAM has ounces of salt in it… the pesto zero flavor the bread all stale… dont recommend at all.. couldnt even finish my food i was looking forward to :((((((
Meh. The pictures look good, but the sandwiches are bland. Atleast the one I got. Good size, seems like fresh ingredients, but the actual taste is meh. I won't come back again. Especially since it cost me like 27 dollars for a sandwich and a drink. 😂
The sandwich should be an explosion of flavor for 21 dollars. Theyre missing something.
I have eaten at this restaurant three times. I love it. I have only ordered one sandwich, La Paradiso. Which is a mortadella sandwich with stracciatella cheese, pistachio cream, and pistachios. I have dreams about this sandwich. I took my dad to try it, and now he wants me to learn how to make it. I cant recommend this place enough.
Excellent Italian sandwiches
The focaccia is fresh with great flavor
Meat is sliced fresh
Spreads are flavorful
I love this place
Stopped on a rainy Saturday evening while the BF was shopping next door. I got a paradiso, that's it. It's genuinely really delicious. Sure I've never been to the one in Italy, but I bake focaccia, I eat pistachios, I love cold cuts like mortadella and prosciutto and have had amazing version of all of them separately. The sandwich I got for just under twenty bucks contained delicious versions of all of them. Good ratios, creamy stracciatelle, crunchy pistachio bits, and what I feel like is a good pile of meat on warm and crunchy bread. It felt worth the money, and if I was near it I'd probably get it again.
Essential Tips for Visiting the Original Farmers Market
Navigating a historic market with over a hundred vendors requires a bit of strategy, especially during peak hours. While the atmosphere is always welcoming, knowing a few insider details about logistics, parking, and timing can significantly improve your experience. Use these practical tips to eat like a local and avoid the common pitfalls that first-time visitors often encounter.
Validate your parking. The market offers two hours of free parking with validation from most merchants. Just bring your ticket with you and ask the cashier or server to stamp it before you leave; otherwise, rates can climb quickly in this busy district.
Come hungry but pace yourself. Portion sizes at the market are famously generous. Instead of ordering a full meal at the first stall you see, consider sharing plates with your group so you can sample three or four different vendors in a single visit.
Avoid the noon rush. If you want to sit at the iconic green tables near the clock tower, aim to eat an early lunch at 11:00 AM or a late lunch after 1:30 PM. Weekends between noon and 1:00 PM are the most crowded times to navigate the narrow aisles.
Bring cash for the old-school spots. While most vendors now accept credit cards and mobile payments, a few of the legacy butchers and produce stalls prefer cash for small transactions. Having a twenty-dollar bill in your pocket ensures you won’t miss out on a quick snack.
Explore the adjacent Grove. The Original Farmers Market is directly connected to The Grove, an upscale outdoor mall. If you are full but want to walk off your meal, you can browse the shops or take a ride on the trolley without moving your car from the validated parking structure.
The beauty of the Original Farmers Market is that it refuses to be a museum piece; it remains a functional, vibrant part of daily life in Los Angeles. Every visit offers a chance to discover a new flavor, chat with a third-generation owner, or simply people-watch from a shaded patio.
Whether you are a first-time tourist checking off an LA bucket list item or a local rediscovering an old favorite, the market delivers a dining experience that feels authentic and unpretentious. Come with an appetite, take your time, and savor the history that makes this place truly one of a kind.
