When they’re not busy with projects or cooking, 'The Office' star Angela Kinsey and husband Joshua Snyder love dining out in LA, from a French bistro to a MICHELIN-starred Italian spot.
LessAOC isn’t just a classic because of James Beard Award-winning chef Suzanne Goin’s California-French food, it also has one of the most beautiful patios in town. Why Angela and Joshua love it: “We love the indoor-outdoor feel of this restaurant. It’s a great place to meet up with friends. Try to get a table by the fireplace. It’s so cozy. Everything on this menu is delicious, but you must get one of their cheese plates and the AOC rustic boule & salted butter."
“Top Chef” star Jackson Kalb does Italian American comfort food at this Hollywood restaurant. Expect dishes like angel hair pasta in pomodoro sauce, Calabrian chili-topped pizzas, and more. Why Angela and Joshua love it: “We love the vibe of this restaurant. Deep green chairs, maroon booths, and a neon sign on the wall that says, ‘feed me pasta and tell me I’m pretty.’ You’ll be in a good mood the minute you walk in the door. Get the emmy’s cheese toast."
The refined lineup of Italian food like grilled octopus, crispy duck confit, and housemade pasta—plus an impressive Old World wine list to match—makes for an outstanding meal at this MICHELIN-Starred gem. Why Angela loves it: “I’ve spent many birthdays and girl’s nights out here. Great service, delicious food, and amazing wine. If you want to splurge on the best prosciutto and melon in Southern California, get the cinco jotas Iberico ham, 24-month prosciutto di Parma."
Located on the 15th floor of the Pershing Square Building, the lively French-American bistro has a patio that is decked with inviting firepits and plush, antique-style furniture. Why Angela and Joshua love it: “Some restaurants make you feel like you are creating a special memory from the minute you walk in and that was exactly my experience at Perch LA. The food is great and the view is endless. Josh popping on here to say I took Angela here for dinner when we were dating."
Acclaimed chef Ludo Lefebvre is still turning out some of the best French food in the city at his award-winning postage stamp-sized bistro in Hollywood. Why Angela and Joshua love it: “Every time we go here, we feel like we’re on vacation in Europe. Delicious dishes and a fantastic wine list. Everything is wonderful. We usually go for lunch and get the chicken salad and the jambon beurre sandwich: Parisian ham, honey butter, gruyère, cornichons, and of course frites."
Housed in a former cathedral in downtown LA, this showstopping New American restaurant from chef Neal Fraser has a modern-meets-classic design complete with an open-air ceiling. Why Angela loves it: “This is truly a beautiful dining experience. Redbird holds a special place in my heart because that is where Jenna and I celebrated hitting 100 episodes of our Office Ladies podcast! We wanted to treat our team to a special night and knew Redbird was the perfect spot."
