Canele Love: December 2006 Edition

Darn you Los Angeles Times. Make me look bad for my procrastination. Another glowing review of the new-ish bistro I have yet to try, Atwater Village's own media darling, Canele, at 3219 Glendale Blvd. To the top of the pile it goes:

• "More a great neighborhood restaurant than the kind of scene that gets mentioned in the trades or gossipy blogs ... Canele is the best of the class in the Atwater-Los Feliz-Silver Lake neighborhood." [LA Times]
• "Very appealing start in a neighborhood starved for places that get it right." [Eating LA]
• "If this were your dinner party, and your kitchen guru of choice is Julia rather than Marcella or Madhur, this is the kind of food worthy of the good china." [LA Weekly]
• "Very encouraging and tasty start." [Miles Think]
