I love this restaurant and eat here every time I’m in New York. Yes, we have great vegan restaurants in L A. But Candle79 is in a class by itself. The food is always expertly prepared and fresh. The service is always outstanding.

Never in my life have I experienced food so delicious and fulfilling. Admittedly, I have an untrained palate. But I can say with confidence, is that after three lunch visits and three different selections, all were exceptionally flavorful. The staff as well are all your new best friends. What a bunch of sweethearts! GO.

Left and right there were so many tempting dishes being ordered by other people, it was hard to choose just one meal! I can't wait to return to Candle 79, bring my friends, and gen... read more
