Bokado Gourmet Market & Brasserie

While I will be taking care of decorating and furnishing our new home, I thought maybe the husband and I should pick out a bed together, since we will both be sleeping on it. And, while I tend to lean toward a vintage feel, the husband likes mostly new things. However, I'd like to find something that isn't super modern just because I'm bored of that look it's everywhere. So, Tuesday evening we decided to venture down Ventura Blvd on the hunt for a new master bed frame for our new master bedroom.

Just as we were walking out of Dwell in Studio City, the husband spotted a restaurant almost directly across the street ...and since you don't know my husband, I'll just tell you that he is far more interested in food than in furniture. And since most of the shops were beginning to close, we decided to stop for the evening and check out this new restaurant.

Now, I'm not a huge fan of snapping photos in public places {I hate looking like a tourist in my home town} but because of the rain, it was rather quiet this particular evening and because we were the only sat table other than the bar, I decided it was the perfect time to document our new favorite restaurant in Studio City, Bokado.









The drawing on the chalk wall was strangely reminiscent of a sun I painted in the entry way of my very first apartment in Hollywood in the late 90's.






...the best cream of cauliflower soup without any cream ...entirely vegetarian. ~ potato-like fries in a spicy ketchuppy yum sauce. I'm not a huge drinker but I love a good Mojito ...and they made it to perfection!


...tapas ...mmmmm


...tiny burgers


...and mouth watering filet. The veggies were even good ...and the macaroni was for the husband.


...an outdoor seating area complete with fireplace & wall-mounted wide screen




...and chocolate Crème brûlée for dessert. Um, yeah, ridiculous good.


We ate it all ...and we'll be back for more.
