We have been coming to Chef Hannes for decades. The food is truly marvelous; some of the best you will find in LA, at an amazing price in a quaint unassuming cozy restaurant. The baked goods are all made fresh daily, and the meats and fish are superb. The vegetables are also all really good quality that you can taste. Whether an appetizer, a main, a dessert or a wine — literally nothing you order here will not be excellent.
Fun fact: chef Hannes used to be Arnold Schwarzenegger’s personal chef 😁
Vegetarian options: Just ask for vegan and vegetarian options — Hannes is extremely creative and everything is fresh and flavorful. Great even for someone like me who has rather extreme food allergies.
Dietary restrictions: Hannes will do excellent vegan and gluten free dishes made to order.

This spaghetti with meatballs is truly exceptional—fragrant herbs, a perfectly balanced sauce, and pasta cooked al dente. It's a high-quality twist on a beloved classic. The chocolate cake dessert is not just your average sweet treat; it's evident that someone put thought and skill into crafting its complexity. I highly recommend it for those who appreciate skillfully prepared food over flashy decor or pretentious presentations.

Cute little hole in the wall with amazing food. We had the spicy tomato appetizer and the meatloaf and beef ribs, so delicious and great service as well.

Super good local restaurant in El Segundo, Cheff Hanes has a variety of foods from great daily soups, pastas, fish and meat. Everything has his special made sauces and it tastes really good. Wine and beer selection is good too. Kind and attentive staff, cozy atmosphere. Two dining rooms, outside patio and accommodations for bigger parties. Must visit!

Great experience with friends Anniversary’s double date. Hannes made some special dishes for us. Beef pot roast with roasted potatoes and broccoli and some special dumplings beef very tender and gravy flavor was amazing. Luke took care of us from beginning to end great service and helped with wine and some German beer selection. Relaxed atmosphere no rush. I really liked Apple strudel.
First time here! Super Delicious food ? The place is really cozy and nice with great music and great service! Bread and tomato sauce was incredible ? Everything tasted so delicious ? Highly recommended ??❤️❤️❤️

It’s a shell of its former glory. A complete disappointment. We miss the Chef Hannes of even just 5 years ago. Please improve or just simply close.

The taste was so-so, but the atmosphere was nice. It closes a little early.
