How fast the day goes when you know you will be dining that evening at Buggy Whip,
Westchester. At Buggy Whip, you will be indulged at a marvelous classic restaurant,
where ambiance, tradition, soft lighting and incredible food add up to make you
feel that life is treating you the way you so deserve.
For 53 years, this outstanding, enduring icon has made its home on La Tijera Boulevard,
and since 1977 compelling owner/master chef/general manager Paul Darricarrere
has ardently been at the helm working alongside his clever, vivacious wife Ilze.
Side by side, their only wish is to see you smiling while dining and fulfilled
when you leave.
Before we introduce you to Buggy Whip’s amazing food, it is only fitting
to tell you about a few of their zillion awards. Just recently they were recipients
of the Distinguished Southern California Restaurant Writers Association Gold Award
of Merit for Excellence in the Continental Cuisine category. They also received
the prestigious Herb Baus/Don Smith Merit of Distinction Award. Of late, Los Angeles
Magazine’s best of L.A. issue rated Buggy Whip in its top 100 places, ranking
it as the best place for steak in Los Angeles.
To set the record straight, their steaks are man-sized slabs from the best grain-fed
steer, aged to perfection for many weeks. Prime rib, aka Roast’d Beef Au
Jus, is a massive block of the most tender and juicy cut of meat. Sorry, no dainty
portions here.
Buggy Whip is also renowned for its giant Florida stone crab claws with celebrated
mustard sauce, giant lobster tails, famous cioppino (fisherman’s stew) and
so much more.
Large salads, wonderful soups and an amazing staff make sure you are sated and
satisfied. How often do waiters spin your salad at the table or dress your baked
potato with all the fixings right in front of you?
When one’s eyes glaze over from so much delicious food, find just a little
more room for the heavenly desserts, coffees and after dinner drinks. Hey, we
want you to prolong the experience.
Plus, there’s more. Not only are there world class wines and a full bar,
but sit in the lounge for dinner (our favorite spot) where, Wednesday through
Saturday, Peter Wagner creates magic on his piano, playing and singing songs from
many generations and genres. Wagner adds that special touch of class to an already
full-of-cachet experience.
In ever-changing Los Angeles, you can always count on Buggy Whip. Open daily for
dinner, weekdays for lunch. Live music is held Wednesday through Saturday, 7 to
10 or 11 p.m.
Buggy Whip is located at 7420 La Tijera Blvd. in Westchester, (310) 645-7131.
