During a recent meeting, Bonnie came across Palihouse in West Hollywood and suggested we come by for a ladies lunch {which I gladly obliged}. Known as a luxury hotel with long-stay options, it's both classic and stylish…kind of like if the Ace Hotel had an older brother who was a professor at Dartmouth.
There are so many different areas to hang out and enjoy a meal at Palihouse. Despite the numerous tufted chairs and couches, I made myself pretty comfortable sitting on the floor pretending I was hanging out in my own living room.
Serving classic brasserie-style fare and comfort food, my favorite was the Apricot Chicken Pot Pie. It was warm, cozy, and savory with a pop of sweetness from the apricots.
I love the urban lodge feel of the space—a little American library, a litte bit French café. I could literally hang out here all day…read one of their books, bring a laptop and, or catch up with friends over drinks at sunset… — Joy

I drive by this place everyday on my way home from work. I always assumed it was apartments with a restaurant on the ground floor. But wow! What a gorgeous space. I’m really loving these posts!

Best,

As much as I love all of the posts on your blog, I think that the oh joy {eats} series is my hands down favorite. I get to enjoy amazing photography and imagine eating delicious meals while sitting in some beautiful spaces. The pseudo- “window shopping” of your closet is pretty fun too. 🙂 I’m adding all of these places to my go to list for when I visit family in LA!
You have to try the desserts at Palihouse. They are fantastic!
Fabulous photos!
nice photos as always! And great lunch menu…
