5 LA restaurants make Bon Appetit's best new restaurants list

Bon Appetit released its annual list of the 50 best new restaurants in America, and five L.A. restaurants made the list.

Those five restaurants are (pro tip: make your reservations now):

• Cassia, a stylish Santa Monica restaurant serving French-Vietnamese dishes.
• Trois Familia, a Silver Lake strip-mall spot for breakfast and lunch serving French-Mexican plates like churro French toast with Mexican chocolate.
• RiceBar, a tiny, 7-seat downtown L.A. hole-in-the-wall with Filipino rice bowls.
• Baroo, an unmarked cafe in East Hollywood that plays with all kinds of fermentation and grain bowls.
• Winsome, an airy cafe-diner in Echo Park with a mix of comfort-meets-California food.

For more about the new restaurants in L.A. that have made a splash this year, Libby Denkmann spoke to Julia Kramer, Bon Appetit senior editor. Then, she talked to Med Abrous, co-owner of the Echo Park cafe Winsome, which was named to the list.
