We were taken here for lunch on our Day in LA tour with the rasta bus (also good) - what a great way to dine! Huge selection, lots of seating, great variety. We had lunch, an ice cream and got some yum chocolates to take away. Only reason I haven't given a 5 is that I had a sandwich (ham... More

We decided to go and see the shops of the Grove an check out the Farmer's Market that is right next to it one evening while in LA. I have never seen as much food in one place. There was everything you could imagine, hand made chocolate and fudge, sushi, The Gumbo Pot, Brazilian BBQ, fish and chips, pizza and... More

Some reviewers seem concerned that it is not a real farmers' market anymore and others that it is too touristy but I am with the majority who like it. To me it is a wonderful contrast to the sophisticated Grove and a place where I would much prefer to eat and spend time. My Australian home city, Melbourne, has a... More

The Farmers Market is at one end of The Grove in West L.A. on 3rd and Fairfax. This is a unique experience. My son (who lives near in Park LaBrea) said that at least one of the merchants offers a Sunday discount between 4 and 7 pm. The price of your entree corresponds to the time. This would be a... More

Better try food in differents places. In little Spain I found very good paella w/o be in the restaurant. I have better sangria, but it was good. Don't forget to try the Jamon Serrano Croquetas, you will died for. For desert, there is so much options that I will need two pages to do the list. It is a MOST... More

Out of four drinks, one was tasty, the other three non-descriptive. Music was blasting and, while it likely appealed to 20-something crowd, it was too loud and disruptive to have a conversation with friends. Table was sticky which was probably the worst part of the experience. Needless to say, I would neither return, nor recommend.

What a great place to be among the people of Southern California. Fun choices for a casual meal in an historic setting that maintains a sense of mid-20th century life in LA. A refuge from the traffic and impersonal world outside. Very special.
