"Wilde's - the intimate new British-inspired spot in Los Feliz - might be the closest thing Los Angeles has to a countryside pub dropped straight onto Hillhurst Avenue. Lifelong friends Natasha Price (chef) and Tatiana Ettensberger (wine) set out to build the kind of place where you could settle in for a long chat, a glass of "something good," and food that's filling and pleasantly low-maintenance."
"If you find yourself waiting at the bar (and you probably will, since wait times are still long and reservations are limited), you'll likely want a snack with your wine. Order the Welsh rarebit - it's filling, deeply savory, and an easy split for two; sort of a smokier, messier grilled cheese sandwich. If you'd rather preserve your appetite for your main meal, go for the Stilton and persimmons, a lighter but still flavorful choice."
"If you're in the mood for fish and chips, it's here, even though you won't see that name on the menu. The battered skate has a beautifully golden, crunchy exterior and arrives on a creamy mint chutney; pair it with a side of the salt and vinegar chips (spoiler: thick-cut fries), steamy potato delights that smartly override the need for a ramekin of malt vinegar. For a statement main, the meat pie for two offers guinea fowl and leeks in a buttery crust."
Wilde's is an intimate, British-inspired neighborhood pub on Hillhurst Avenue in Los Feliz run by lifelong friends Natasha Price (chef) and Tatiana Ettensberger (wine). The dining room is small, wood-paneled, and softly lit, with warm, neighborhood-haunt service. The menu focuses on filling, low-maintenance comfort dishes: Welsh rarebit, Stilton with persimmons, battered skate with creamy mint chutney and salt-and-vinegar thick-cut chips, and a meat pie for two with guinea fowl and leeks in a buttery crust. Dessert choices include a restrained Eton mess with whipped cream, light meringue, and bright fruit. Wine service emphasizes interesting pours such as funky orange wines.
