      Nestled on a beautiful part of the Los Angeles River Bike Path in the Elysian Valley. Lingua Franca is a place of warmth and nostalgia…the feeling of being at home. Chef Peter Lemos, a contestant on Food Network's Chopped & formerly of restaurants up and down the coast such as Domaine Chandon, Craft, SPQR, The Bazaar, and L&E Oyster Bar, is cooking dishes that speak to his heart and soul, such as The LF Burger which is made from scratch, down to the bun. His wife & partner Lauren has curated an intricate list of wine & vermouth-based cocktails. Come enjoy a sip & bite while surrounded by Egret, Great Blue Heron, & a plethora of wildlife that inhabits the river in our front yard. We serve New Californian American cuisine, brunch & dinner, with happy hour daily from 3-6 *All night Happy Hour on Mondays! We are family friendly, with booster seats, high chairs, a changing table in the bathroom, and even crayons! We are also dog friendly. Welcome!

      Bathed by the Pacific Ocean to the West and by the Mar de Cortés to the East, California’s Peninsula is layered with a rich history of cultures reinventing seafood with bold flavors. At our Barra de Peninsula we serve the best bounty that these Oceans have to offer, and we celebrate the people who make our coasts so delicious, from Uni and clam divers to the Concheros in Baja and much more.
      We love celebrating special occasions! While we don’t offer complimentary desserts, we’re happy to add a candle to any dessert you order.
      Please note: All credit card payments will incur a 3% processing fee. You may use a debit card to avoid this charge. Thank you for your cooperation, and looking forward on hosting you!
      We love having little ones join us! For everyone's safety, children must remain supervised and seated during service. Our team carries hot dishes and works in tight spaces — we just want to keep everyone safe and happy!

      I went out to eat with my mom and sister, and had the greatest experience. The food and ambience was just incredible. I want to shout out Zola for her outstanding service, accommodation and how sweet she was. She’s a great server and deserves recognition.

      We love Barra Santos, Kelly took great care of us, but also the whole staff works great as a team, so you can’t go wrong with whoever takes your order. We can’t leave without getting the prawns. Prawns and Sherry are a match made in heaven.

      Our party of three shared a handful of appetizers plus two of the shish kabobs (mushrooms and meat). All were divine, and DEFINITELY order anything that includes the round bread that comes with certain apps/dips. Cocktails also divine, including the "Zaddy" which is close to an Old Fashioned. Fantastic evening, and my two friends from out of town were delighted by the experience.
