A longtime Los Angeles restaurant veteran debuted Studio City's newest Spanish restaurant and wine bar this fall. General manager of Laurel Canyon's Pace, Che Peña, opened Unidos Restaurant and Wine Bar in late September. Unidos's menu is based on Peña's time living in Spain, showcasing regional flavors from Valencia, Sevilla, San Sebastian, and Barcelona, and beyond, with plenty of wine to match.
Tucked away in a Craftsman bungalow in Chinatown, Baby Bistro is an unassuming wine bar that rewards a go-with-the-flow attitude. The menu is intentionally tiny (typically just six dishes and two specials) and frequently changes to highlight seasonal ingredients, making it feel more like a DIY tasting menu and less like a random collection of bar snacks. The move: Order one of everything if you're dining with one person, two of everything if you're a four-top.
And they're not going too far away to do it Alex Young and George de Vos have got a pair of winners in wine bar Goodbye Horses and ice cream parlour The Dreamery, both in De Beauvoir.

Chambers in Tribeca is a place to rub elbows with sommeliers from all over the city and people who regularly make seven-figure deals-all while admiring magnum bottles of green and yellow Chartreuse on the shelf. At this wine bar, a meal starts with She Wolf sourdough, but could go in any seasonal direction after that: squid rings with olives and sunchokes, or a roast chicken with spinach and sherry.
