Best European Restaurants in Huntington Park / Bell / Maywood

Eveleigh is a magnificent restaurant with a concise yet varied seasonal menu of beautiful dishes and exemplary service staff. Everything we tried was excellently composed, from the fennel rágu to the half chicken on garlic labneh to the shishito peppers with sherry vinegar. Their pizzas are particularly well made, with gorgeous leoparding and creative flavors. This was our first return to the restaurant since before the Pandemic, and it is even better than we remembered. If I had to pick one snit with this wonderful restaurant, it would be that the back half of the restaurant is a tent, and despite the many, many heat lamps it can still be slightly drafty, so keep your coat.

Staff were all incredibly friendly. We dined in on Thanksgiving as it was just one of few restaurants open. The pasta the bartender recommended was my favorite and the saltiness of it paired well with my martini. Also, not sure if it was just for the holidays but they had a live singer and that enhanced the experience. Would highly recommend and come back!

Not sure how I missed chef Mairinger having a restaurant opened up again since January. I loved his “Bierbeisl” restaurant back in the day. “Lustig” was absolutely fabulous! We started with the “Bigeye Tuna Canoli”, and we had a veal “Wiener Schnitzel” and a Sausage Sampler as mains. Absolutely excellent food. We finished with the “Strudel Cigars” and added a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream to it. Icing on the cake. Service was also top notch, and Chef Mairinger came out at the end to ask for our opinion. While it is on the pricier side, it is worth every penny, and we definitely will be back! Glad to see he’s back on the map, so to speak!
