Villa Blanca, Beverly Hills

Villa Blanca is as prestigious, classy, and tasteful as the famed Beverly Hills roads it resides on. You may have caught a glimpse of it on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills since it’s owned by Real Housewife vixen Lisa Vanderpump and her adorably witty husband Ken Todd, but seeing it on screen merely does the place the justice it deserves.

Out of all of the places in      Hollywood and Beverly Hills, this is by far my favorite lunch spot. The atmosphere alone is enough to make me smile and feel like princess having a soiree in my Beverly Hills backyard. The front patio is lined with white linen-clothed tables and chairs that are surrounded by the deliciously bright green palm leaves of the oversized silver potted Birds of Paradise plants.

 

 

 

You’re likely to see some familiar faces sitting on the chattering patio or inside the pristine, all-white and mirrored dining room, if not at the very least, Lisa and Ken themselves. The dining room far passes exceeding any expectations of a fancy Beverly Hills restaurant. If the aroma of lilies from the massive orb-like bouquet of white and green flowers doesn’t blow you away, the intricately designed décor surely will.

After you’ve been seated by one of the hostesses who probably doubles as a model, one of the ever-amiable servers will greet you and inform you of the food specials, and of course, Lisa’s own favorite cocktail selection. My favorite selections for lunch include the Ahi Tuna Tartare, Crispy Rice & Spicy Tuna, Caprese a La Villa Blanca, The Blanca Chopped Salad, Penne Salmon, Steamed Chilean Sea Bass, Honey Roasted Salmon, and of course a couple of glasses of chilled Pinot Grigio.

 

Since it’s just a block away from Rodeo Drive, after lunch or dinner you can take a stroll around Beverly Hills and continue your fabulous experience. Reservations are recommended.
