What You'll Get
Jump to: Reviews | Are You Exciticated?
Lunch on thoughtful, organic cuisine from the Larchmont Larder: a 10 spot gets you $20 of fine food lovingly prepared by Swiss-born chef Michael Beglinger and served in a lovely little clapboard bungalow in Hancock Park. The Larchmont Larder offers a rotating weekly menu of seasonal cuisine at reasonable rates.
The menu changes each week, but expect to see fresh, savory creations for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, such as Swiss Birchermüsli, pulled short rib sandwich on brioche, curried chicken salad, or spinach-ricotta gnocchi.
Today’s Groupon is good for in-store food only—and just as well, since you’ll probably want to watch Beglinger and his staff at work in the Larder’s open kitchen to absorb cooking tips on the sly. If it’s a nice day, take your date and sit on the front porch for a spell to lunch alfresco.
