Elf Café now serving beer and wine

We drove by Elf Café the other night – and it was BUZZING!

Considered by many to be the best vegetarian restaurant in Los Angeles, the six-year-old Echo Park restaurant now has something new to offer its patrons (and to compete with the giant and vegan-friendly Mohawk Bend next door): Beer and wine!

Owner and chef Scott Zwiezen is focusing this new menu addition on a natural/organic approach. He explains in an email to us:

Our focus is on wine, with emphasis on biodynamic and natural, dry-farmed wines which utilize native yeasts and natural forms of pest control. There’s a Loire we have in, for instance from Olivier Cousin -a visionary of modern biodynamic winemaking- that is, simply put, incredible. We have also been meeting with and buying wines from other small producers in California, France, Portugal, Australia and Chile.

And there’s beer too – Evan George, of Hot Knives and formerly of Elf, is helping curate the beer menu. Eagle Rock Brewery’s Populist IPA and Solidarity will be available, as well as organic options from Eel River Brewery and Iron First (Vista, California).

Both the beer and wine list will change, depending on availability and season.

We can’t wait to check it out!

    Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found
    a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put
    the shell to her ear and screamed. There
    was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants
    to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    this is fantastic blog. An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  24. tinyurl.com says:

    First of all I want to say great blog! I had a quick question that I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear
    your thoughts before writing. I have had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out.
    I do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first
    10 to 15 minutes are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or hints?
    Many thanks!

    It’s in fact very complex in this active life to listen news on Television, so I simply use the web for
    that purpose, and take the most recent news.

  28. tinyurl.com says:

    Wow, wonderful blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?

    you made blogging look easy. The overall look of
    your site is excellent, as well as the content!

  29. tinyurl.com says:

    Excellent blog you have here but I was curious about if
    you knew of any discussion boards that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
    I’d really love to be a part of community where I can get responses from
    other knowledgeable people that share the same interest.

    If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

  30. Jenifer says:

    Have you ever thought about adding a little bit
    more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and
    everything. But just imagine if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more,
    “pop”! Your content is excellent but with images and clips,
    this website could definitely be one of the best in its field.
    Terrific blog!

  31. tinyurl.com says:

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
    own blog and was wondering what all is needed to get set
    up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost
    a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive.
    Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  32. Darci says:

    Hi there! I know this is kind of off topic but I
    was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues with
    hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good
    platform.
