Best Casual Restaurants in La Canada

We were in the area to visit The Forest of Lights and found this gem on Open Table. Such a cute restaurant with good food and cocktails. It was a perfect addition to our date night.

I am not too fond of all you can eat buffet & been to other Brazilian restaurants, & for me Fogo de Chao doesn’t offer the same variety meat as others & the server to cut the meat at your table doesn’t come around as fast as other restaurants. The salad bar is ok but offering more veggies vs others offering seafood as well. Overall this wasn’t my favorite Brazilian restaurant.

Service and food were phenomenal. We had the fried spicy beef and chicken empanadas for appetizers. For dinner we had the Tagliatelle and the Malbec. The steaks were cooked to perfection and meals were full of flavors. For dessert we had the crème brûlée; very delicious, too. Can’t wait to try other dishes. 💕

Excellent food and service. The Benny is the best and my wife really enjoyed the grits.

I booked afternoon tea for a group of four. We were seated promptly, and blankets were provided to keep us warm outside, which my guests loved. The tea and scones arrived quickly, and everything was delicious—warm tea, tasty sandwiches, and lovely desserts. Although the outdoor seating is near the road, it wasn’t busy, so noise wasn’t an issue. Some additional separation, like drapery or dividers, could enhance the ambiance, but the shrubbery provided adequate distance. Overall, we had a fantastic afternoon and will definitely return. Thank you!
