Lunch near the Bonaventure

Are there any good places to get lunch and/or breakfast within walking distance of the Bonaventure? I'm a Westside girl, so Downtown is a bit of a mystery to me.

Much obliged!

      Chaya Downtown & Drago Central are both 1 block away, and good bets. Open for lunch Mon-Fri

        Inside the Wilshire Grand is Cardini's which has a good menu, at very affordable prices.
        But also really enjoy Mendo Farms at 444 S. Flower or the one in Cal Plaza up the hill.

          Inside the Bonaventure I like Olive Branch.

            Mendocino Farms (two locations close by) and Starry Kitchen are two great, casual lunch choices within walking distance; for more upscale lunches, there are Chaya and Drago Centro just across the way from the hotel. Also the DASH bus has one or two routes that stop by the hotel and is an inexpensive and easy way to get around to more distant choice in Chinatown and Little Tokyo, among others.

              2d Mendocino Farms
              Also, Chaya has a $12 Bento Box (to-go)

              Lemondade has a location across the street from Bonaventure (underneath CNB/Chaya/Drago) that is open from 7:00 am - 2:00 PM
              505 S Flower St (look for the escalators at the corners of Flower/6th or Flower/5th).
