Bibi'z Restaurant & Lounge, Westwood

Proponents of the slow-food movement, Bibi'z Restaurant I Lounge's proprietors believe that meals deserve to be savored rather than rushed. To that end, their chefs ensure that diners have plenty to relish: they use simple techniques to bring out flavors in sustainable and wild-caught fish, grass-fed Black Angus beef, and locally sourced organic produce, dairy, and poultry focusing on Gluten Free, Healthy, Paleo and Keto options in their lunch, brunch and dinner menus. The culinary team incorporates those ingredients into dishes such as wild-mushroom ravioli with a butternut-squash sauce, and braised short ribs with toasted almonds and cranberries. Since 2011, Bibi'z has been recognized as titles of Best Gluten Free, Best Artisan Dining, Best Mediterranean, Best Healthy Restaurant and Best Place for Girls' Night Out.

Hand-selected from sustainable wineries at home and abroad, vegan, organic and biodynamic wines—more of 50 of which are available by the glass—add their own nuanced flavors to meals. Barkeeps also quench thirsts with their signature Bibi'z Blossom, Pink Grapefruit Martini, or Organic White Peach Sangria. Each leisurely feast unfolds in Bibi'z spacious dining room complete with a fireplace and private dining room as well as an airy outdoor patio.
