Along the stylish Sunset Junction shopping strip, this popular sidewalk café is always a scene, jammed with jet-set shoppers, soccer moms, and European expats who crave a little piece of home. The alfresco dining is European in feel, as is the menu, which is heavy on classics like goat cheese salads, simple pastas, and a few continental entrées. Most everyone sips wine, no matter what the time of day, and watches the spectacle of the wealthy and privileged in transit.
