You only have to travel 15 stories above ground to experience LA’s vulnerability—its skyline–and to eat perfect beignets.  At Perch, you’ll feel as though you’re in the suburbs due to the sheer vertical leverage you have on the passersby far below.  No line, no list, this is the spot to take your visiting mom for brunch, to take a date for a sunset drink, or maybe just take yourself because that’s all you can afford.

The French bistro occupies the top three stories of the Pershing Square Building, boasting 360-degree views on each floor.  Lounging, bar sitting, or table sitting among various fire pits are all options.  “What we want to do up there is take French food and bastardize it the same way we did with taking white trash food for The Must and making it nice,” say owners Rachel Thomas and Coly Den Haan (previously of wine bar The Must) when describing the French flared menu.  Think caricatures of French fare and décor and silly-breathtaking views and you’ve got Perch.
