Los Feliz's Cafe Stella ooh la la...

This place is funky and weird and moody.  Add to that they have good food and wine and Chimay on tap.  Holla!  It's all the things I love in a cool East LA neighborhood.  I even sat next to Bret McKenzie of Flight of the Conchords so my meal was extra sexy.  Let's get to the food.  Amazing charcuterie plate.  Check.  Crusty on the outside soft on the inside French bread.  Check.  Scent of truffle oil in the air from fries and/or mussels.  Checks everywhere, man.  Like potatoes?  They offer potatoes in multiple forms: pomme frites, in a gratin with turnips, hand crushed or turned.  The kitchen has never met a spud it didn’t know how to master.  Thanks kitchen.  Finally, french toast donut for dessert.  Cafe Stella, you had me at donut.
