About

Lingua Franca is a modern American restaurant tucked along the LA River at 2990 Allesandro St in Los Angeles, with a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere that suits everything from date nights to laid-back solo outings. The space leans simple and contemporary, with an easy energy that feels right for the neighborhood. Guests rave about the fried chicken sandwich, the burger with matchstick fries, and the warm apple cider donut finished with a miso caramel. The outdoor setting near the river bike path adds a distinctive character that few spots in the city can match.
