Most well known for being home to UCLA, Westwood is the ideal blend of sophisticated Los Angeles style and California college student life. In addition to the ubiquitous college campus fare, like burgers, cheap linguine, smoothies and ice cream, Westwood is home to a pleasant amount of non-student food, ranging from casual grills to formal dining establishments. Fun restaurants like Tengu, a sushi and Asian fusion restaurant named for the Japanese god of mischief, and Clementine, a sidewalk café featuring a cheery blend of European favorites and American home cooking, are always alive and crowded with everyone from students to grandmas. While Westwood is also home to a variety of chain restaurants, you can't be fooled by their appearance; even the chain restaurants of Los Angeles are rich with delicious fare.
