On the quaint main street of Larchmont Village, nestled in among
the wonderful shops and coffee houses, sits one of the jewels
of the L.A. dining scene, Le Petit Greek Restaurant. Owners
Tom and Dimitri Houndalas have created a comfortable atmosphere
and carte du jour that instantly transports you to a sumptuous
springtime hideaway in the Greek Isles. For generations
the Houndalas family has established a legacy of superb eateries
beginning in the Peloponesse and then to the picturesque coastal
village of Nafplion. In 1988, that long tradition of excellence
came to Los Angeles.
The simple, elegant dining room
is awash in white and green, adorned with baskets of fresh
lemons. The walls are covered with wonderful black and white
photographs of Greece, whose dramatic views are offset by
a striking, often whimsical dash of red.
The food is plainly some of the
best Mediterranean cuisine in Los Angeles. There is an award
winning wine list from all over the world including an unparalleled
selection of Greek wines. The entrées are impeccably
fresh and light. The signature of the house, delectable baby
rack of lamb simply melts
in your mouth and the daily fish specials are hand picked
by the owners each morning. A meal can also easily be made
from the incredible selection of Mezedes (appetizers) and
salads. Come let Le Petit Greek bathe you in the warmth and
flavor of the magical Greek Islands. It will beckon you to
return again and again.
