Eating with freshly cut flowers on the table is always a nice feeling, but how about eating among a sea of fresh-cut flowers? This inventive neighborhood spot combines garden-fresh food and garden-fresh flowers.

The Kitchen serves healthy, organic and vegetarian fare like sandwiches (which can be served on spelt bread, which is egg- and dairy-free), pastas, salads and soup. For the meat-eaters, there's seared ahi tuna or turkey burgers. Lunch patrons on the go breeze through the deli case, which has fresh pasta salads and veggie salads made every day. The Flora Kitchen does a mean Hollywood Bowl picnic with all appropriate accoutrements included.
