We see vegetables as the Jewels of the earth. All of our dishes start with this in mind, showing their multi-faceted beauty by preparing them in unique ways to surprise and delight all the senses—All Flavors Welcome.Jewel opened on February 1st of 2018 with the goal to be the backyard porch of Silver Lake and Virgil Village, serving our community with unique and inspired dishes and drinks. It's always been about making everyone feel like themselves here, and it's our job to make sure everyone is fed well.We are a dairy-free and meat-free restaurant featuring local, organic, and sustainable produce whenever possible along with good eggs from happy chickens and local farmers. Most, if not all our dishes are plant-based and gluten-free or can be made gluten-free.We're a multi-faceted group of personalities (both in the kitchen and on the floor) who are vibrantly chill, sophisticated yet relaxed, with good taste in music, and with a desire to make everyone feel at ease and at home.
Guacamaya was established in 2017 in the heart of Los Angeles, where the vibrant cultures of Mexico and Southern California converge. It's a tale of love, tradition, and a deep passion for creating exceptional plant-based Mexican cuisine.Whether you're a long-time advocate of plant-based living or a curious food adventurer, we invite you to explore the flavors of Mexico in a whole new way.Our journey is rooted in Mexican traditions and we continue to honor our heritage when we come together around the dinner table as a family. The heart of our home was our kitchen, where we shared meals, laughter, and the recipes that had been passed down through generations. We have always enjoyed cooking homemade meals from scratch and finding healthier alternatives. That's when we decided to offer our community a greener and more sustainable version of the flavors we cherish so much.
