The Garden Bar
Sure, there’s exotic tea, caviar service, and backgammon. But The Garden Bar, the Montage Beverly Hills’ ground-level lounge, is anything but stodgy. There’s a palpable sense of style from the moment guests step inside: Mid-century modern sofas, posh brass light fixtures, rich finished wood and verdant indoor palms give the former Parq Bar space a chic, contemporary vibe, like you’re visiting the swinging pad of a ‘60s socialite instead of the antiquated abode of a rich ol’ auntie. No stale, contaminated nuts here. Gratis bar food comes in the form of cubed salami and housemade potato chips; in case you weren’t aware, this is Food Network personality and New York chef-superstar Geoffrey Zakarian’s first West Coast joint, and he’s pulling out all the stops. White-jacketed bartenders craft cocktails with only the finest ingredients, which is why the going rate for a sidecar is $22 (made with top-shelf Hennessy VSOP Cognac, if it’s any consolation). You may gawk at the price, but you’ll gawk even more at the bar’s 35-page wine collection covering the globe from British Columbia to the Canary Islands. Sip your crystal glass of Italian orange wine (yes, it’s a thing) as you gaze upon the hoi polloi beyond closed glass doors. You’re so 90210 right now.

Bouchon
Thomas Keller's beloved Bouchon has been feeding denizens of Beverly Hills since 2009, accompanied by Bar Bouchon and Bouchon Bakery. The French brasserie serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, and features a raw bar where oysters are aplenty along with mussels, shrimp, clams and more. For breakfast, the pastries are a must—danishes, pecan sticky buns, chocolate croissants. At dinner, the steak frites is one of Bouchon's signature plates, but be sure to stop by on Mondays for their famed Ad Hoc buttermilk fried chicken.
