Westlake Village Restaurants

From horse ranches to golf resorts and recreational lakes, a little bit of country is a short drive from Los Angeles' urban sprawl. Spanning part of the Santa Monica Mountains wilderness area, Agoura Hills and Westlake Village are a lot more than stops along the 101 while heading north or south. Look for several taverns and grills featuring locally-brewed beer and grilled beef in rib, steak and burger form. Agoura Hills is a little more Western in flavor than Westlake Village, where high-end auto dealers and elegant shopping districts lead into a restaurant row with a variety of lunch and dinner choices. Standouts include organic and vegan restaurants along with Asian and Pacific Northwestern chefs serving noodles, sushi and fresh-shucked oysters. Westlake Village also has outposts of family-owned local chains serving natural, sustainable and organic foods at affordable prices.
