From Saveur magazine, March 2010:
"Sandwiched between a boarded-up movie theater and an American Apparel store in the east side neighborhood of Echo Park, Elf is a cozy, candlelit nook of a vegetarian restaurant with just seven tables. It's run by former members of the indie rock band Viva K out of a kitchen composed of a few steam warmers, an electric oven and a sink. There's no tofu here, or any of the mock chicken or fake bacon you find at some vegetarian places. Instead, there are sweet-spiced tagines studded with olives and chickpeas; kale and avocado salads dressed with citrus (see Kale and Avocado Salad); and slow-cooked organic lentils and mushrooms served in thrift store ceramic crocks."
Cash only. No alcohol available. BYOB. Serving dinner Wed-Sun. Closed Mon-Tue."Chef Timothy Maloof brings great creativity to an all-organic, all-vegetarian menu."
