Cuisine: New York-Style Deli | Ambiance: Bustling and family-friendly | Price: $$. A true institution, Brent’s Deli in Westlake Village brings an authentic East Coast deli experience to the Conejo Valley. This is the second location of the famed Brent’s (the original opened in 1967), and it has garnered acclaim as the #1 delicatessen in Los Angeles – as voted by Zagat, Los Angeles Magazine, and LA Times readers, year after year. Walking in, you’re greeted by the sight of a gleaming deli counter, the sound of laughter and clinking dishes, and the smell of fresh rye bread and pastrami. The menu is enormous, covering all the classics: sky-high “mile-high” Reuben sandwiches (piled with their celebrated pastrami), matzo ball soup as comforting as a hug, blintzes and omelettes for breakfast, loaded salads, and so much more.

The Royal Egg Café

royal egg cafe

Cuisine: Organic Breakfast & Bakery | Ambiance: Bright and cozy | Price: $$. This daytime café has rapidly become a local favorite for breakfast and brunch, thanks to its combination of wholesome cooking and welcoming vibe. Family-owned and operated by a husband-and-wife team, The Royal Egg Café puts a healthful spin on comfort classics. They pride themselves on being a “locally sourced & organic scratch kitchen & bakery” – meaning nearly everything is made in-house with quality ingredients, right down to the freshly baked breads and pastries. Uniquely, the kitchen is 100% seed-oil free, opting for olive oil, butter, and other natural fats, which health-conscious diners appreciate. The result is dishes that feel indulgent but clean: think lemon-ricotta pancakes that are fluffy and flavorful without being oily, omelets loaded with farmers’ market veggies, and avocado toast on chewy artisan bread. Their signature “Royal Egg Benedict” (made with organic eggs and a silky house hollandaise) is a standout, as are the selection of savory breakfast bowls and lunch sandwiches. The cafe itself is small and often buzzing by mid-morning, with a modern farmhouse decor, sunny yellow accents, and the aroma of fresh coffee in the air. It’s an “all-day breakfast” style spot using gourmet, locally sourced ingredients that still keep the food approachable. Prices are moderate – a couple dollars more than a diner, perhaps, but well worth it for the quality. Open daily from early morning until 2 PM, The Royal Egg is the go-to for many Westlake locals’ morning routines, offering a feel-good start to the day in every sense.

The Stonehaus

Stonehaus

Cuisine: European Café by day / Wine Bar by night | Ambiance: Outdoor winery garden | Price: $$. Tucked on the grounds of the Westlake Village Inn, The Stonehaus is a slice of Tuscany in the middle of Westlake. This unique venue doubles as a coffeehouse, lunch spot, and evening wine bar, all set in a gorgeous vineyard-adjacent outdoor space. The atmosphere is often described as beyond beautiful – with an on-site vineyard, sprawling patio, stone fountains and fire pits, it’s “a most delightful place to hang”. By day, you’ll find locals grabbing lattes and European-style pastries or panini, perhaps after a stroll through the Inn’s gardens. As the day progresses, Stonehaus transforms into a lively social hub: guests sip estate wines or flights from around the world, share charcuterie and wood-fired pizzas, and unwind to live music on weekends. “In the afternoon and most weekends there is live music; the ambiance cannot be beat (outside among the grape vines!) with fire pits to keep you warm”. It’s a popular mingling spot – you’ll see first dates cozying by the fire, friends clinking glasses of rosé, and even families (it’s kid-friendly, with space for little ones to wander among the vines). The Stonehaus does not take itself too seriously as a restaurant – you order at the counter and seating is open – but the food is tasty (try the artisanal cheese platter or the Margherita pizza from the outdoor oven) and the setting is simply magical. Whether you come for a morning cappuccino or an evening cabernet, you’ll understand why Stonehaus is repeatedly voted one of the best places to relax in Westlake, encapsulating the wine country vibe with none of the pretension

Moody Market & Provisions

Moody Market and Provisions

Cuisine: Gourmet Deli & Market | Ambiance: Casual artisan marketplace | Price: $–$$.

Inside, shelves are stocked with boutique wines, local jams, and curated pantry items, while the deli counter tempts with vibrant salads, gourmet sandwiches, and prepared meals to-go. The menu of made-to-order items changes with what’s fresh: you might find a roasted farmers’ market vegetable panini with pesto, a porchetta sandwich on crusty house-baked bread, or a daily soup made from scratch. It’s all perfect for a picnic or easy dinner at home. At lunch, local office workers stop by for turkey-avocado clubs or inventive seasonal grain bowls. In the evening, neighbors pop in to pick up prepared foods like lemon chicken, grilled salmon or vegan quinoa salad for a quick dinner. There’s a small seating area if you can’t wait to dig in. The vibe is cheerful and welcoming – the staff will chat with you about that day’s farm finds or recommend a perfect cheese to pair with your wine. In essence, Moody Market is a “farm-to-takeout” concept – a gourmet deli where restaurant-quality dishes are available for a quick bite. It fills a niche in Westlake for those who want high-quality, handmade food without the formality of dining out. If you love Moody Rooster, this market is your chance to take a piece of it home.

The Cove Pool Kitchen & Bar

the cove westlake village

Cuisine: Mediterranean-California | Ambiance: Poolside resort casual | Price: $$ (lunch) to $$$ (dinner). Eating at The Cove feels like a mini vacation within your vacation. This expansive indoor-outdoor restaurant sits alongside the Four Seasons’ gorgeous pool area – one of the largest hotel pools in Southern California – and embraces a “sun-kissed,” laid-back vibe with flavors from the Mediterranean. By day, The Cove serves as a poolside grille, offering fresh salads, fish tacos, gourmet burgers, and tropical cocktails to swimsuit-clad guests at the pool (service runs late morning through afternoon). By late afternoon and evening, it transforms into a stylish dining venue where “sun, swim, and sip” culture is in full effect – The Cove is the spot for casual, golden-hour lounging with poolside cocktails and fresh bites. The dinner menu, launched to much excitement, leans Mediterranean: think shareable mezze platters, flatbreads from the pizza oven, grilled branzino, and farmer’s market crudités with dips – all celebrating local produce and coastal California ingredients. One highlight is the selection of house-made hummus and spreads, paired with warm pita. The bar shakes up fun cocktails (try the spicy paloma or a seasonal sangria), and come sunset, fire pits and lanterns add to the atmosphere. “Sun-kissed Mediterranean flavors blend seamlessly with the freshest seasonal bounty of our local shores” here at The Cove, as the Four Seasons puts it – which perfectly sums up the experience. It’s upscale enough to feel special (white resort furnishings, attentive service) but relaxed enough that you can wander in straight from the pool. For hotel guests it’s a must, and many locals also drop by for an al fresco dinner in a setting that channels Mediterranean resort life. Chef Bolaños’s team ensures the food is as delightful as the atmosphere, making The Cove a unique addition to Westlake Village’s dining landscape.

Chef’s Note: Under Chef Hugo Bolaños’s stewardship, the Four Seasons Westlake’s dining venues have truly flourished. Chef Hugo’s philosophy emphasizes wellness, sustainability, and artistry – from Coin & Candor’s farm-to-table ethos to ONYX’s precision and The Cove’s seasonal approach. His “remarkable career spanning over three decades” in world-renowned kitchens is evident in the consistency and creativity across these restaurants. For Westlake Village locals, the Four Seasons isn’t just for tourists or special occasions; it has become a dining destination in its own right, thanks in large part to Chef Bolaños’s culinary leadership and the distinctive experiences each restaurant offers. Whether you’re indulging in a five-star meal or enjoying a poolside snack, the resort’s eateries encapsulate the very best of Westlake’s upscale yet inviting dining scene.
