The quintessential Echo Park restaurant—a tiny, romantic, cash-only cave where the staff all look like members of some obscure art band who sing about responsible hedonism and turn veggies into magic. Farms are named on the menu, and chef/owner Scott Zwiezen is serious about his food philosophy, from local and non-GMO ingredients to specified sea salts and cooking oils. Early proponents of the kale salad ($13), the kitchen at Elf also makes a rich, wild exotic mushroom risotto ($22) and a housemade labneh ($12) topped with date-olive tapenade— tangy, cool and ready to be scooped up with pieces of warm pita.
