Jonathan Gold is the Pulitzer Prize-winning food writer for the LA Times.

This week, he visits Viviane at the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills. In this latest iteration of the hotel’s restaurant menu, Chef Michael Hung lends a gentle touch to his delightful take on classic Parisian bistro fare.

Recommendations: Try the Pastrami-Cured Wild Salmon Tartine, Rainbow Beets & Apple Salad or Pan-Roasted Halibut.

Location: 9400 West Olympic Boulevard, Beverly Hills, CA 90212 | (310) 407-7791

Tip: Take your pick from Viviane’s Old Fashioned cocktail menu or order the full flight.
