little beast in eagle rock.
i recently dined at little beast for the first time with our friend eugenia. it's a restaurant that's always sort of been on the edge my dining radar, and i was very excited to go. it's located at what feels like the eastern end of the hip stretch of colorado blvd in eagle rock. the restaurant itself is, or at least looks to be, a converted craftsman home.
crispy brussels sprouts and sweet potato with maple vinaigrette, cashew, nori.
the dining room is small and cozy, but definitely has a warm and inviting feel. the menu was surprisingly diverse, and would fall into what i think of as elevated comfort food (that's a thing, right?). it's the type of small, neighborhood restaurant i really wished i lived walking distance from. i thoroughly enjoyed my meal here!
burrata caprese with heirloom tomato, basil, mint, aged balsamic, arugula, extra virgin olive oil on baguette.
crispy barbecued octopus with peach and corn salad, serrano chile, cilantro, lemon creme fraice, yucca crisps.
orchiette mac'n'cheese with summer squash.
caledonia salt prawns with charred spring onion, fingerling potato, avocado puree, crispy bacon, bisque cream.
brioche bread pudding with creme anglaise, cinnamon caramel and whipped cream.
