Best frisee salad, please

[mocro]

One of my favorite friends is visiting LA next month. We enjoyed the frisee salad with egg and pancetta at Daniel in Vegas last year and she's challenged me to come up with a great one for lunch or dinner in LA. Bouchon? Breadbar?

Don't forget to consider Bouchon Beverly Hills.

Comme Ca -- On Melrose just East of La Cienega. Solid bistro fare all around. And a great bar to boot.

I enjoyed Bouchon's frisee au lardon. I would expect very good things from Church & State's version too.

LAMILL in Silverlake has a great one, and they use coffee in the dressing, yet it isn't intrusive at all, just for the aromatic hit, it really tastes quite French. And the rest of the food is great too, plus a lovely environment for your out of town pal ; )

Thanks for these ideas all of which I'll check out.

Thanks. I was trying to remember where I had the good frisee aux lardons. LA Mill +1 but not a great dinner spot.

I am no expert, but I loved the frisee salad I had at Chaya Downtown.

It really depends on what part of town you will be staying. Driving in LA is not a fun experience.

I live in Pasadena, but my friend (a former Angeleno) will likely be staying on the westside so anywhere there, the beach, etc. is fine.

We had an excellent Frisee at Church & State. The egg was so soft poached it became a part of the dressing. it's taste was far and above anything else we had for that meal.

i must agree with both of you, Dommy! That is one wonderful frisee! Gotta mention that the eggs come from Peter Schaner (SM Farmer's Market).
