Lingua Franca, located in Frogtown along the LA River Path, offers a unique dining experience. The restaurant's ambiance is calming and enjoyable, with a sophisticated yet relaxed atmosphere, complete with a lovely gated back patio. Guests often enjoy the view of the LA River from the outdoor space, adding to the cozy and warm feel. The service is exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who are happy to answer questions and accommodate special requests. The menu features a variety of delicious dishes, including the popular burger, grilled little gem salad, braised pork belly, and pea risotto. The burger is highly praised, often described as one of the best ever, with a grass-fed beef patty on a house-made English muffin topped with Pt. Reyes Toma cheese, black pepper aioli, and black garlic sherry brown butter. Matchstick fries with malt vinegar aioli are a favorite side. Customers also enjoy the roasted red walnut tart, served in crispy phyllo with labne whipped cream and honey, as a standout dessert. Many visitors mention that every dish is perfectly done and flavorful. Overall, Lingua Franca is a fabulous addition to the area, providing a fun, relaxing, and delicious experience for brunch, lunch, or dinner. The charming patio, great food, and welcoming vibe make it an ideal spot for any occasion.
