Iconic Jewish deli with house rye, corned beef & pastrami
"After surviving a quick brush with closing in March 2020, Nate N Al remains an all-out classic and one of the few authentic-feeling places in this part of town. Is this the best deli in LA? No. But come here a little hungover on a Saturday morning, order the bagel and lox and stuffed cabbage, gaze upon the most eclectic crowd in the neighborhood, and you’ll want to camp out here for the day." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders
"Is Nate’ n Al’s the best Jewish deli in LA? No. But this 70-plus-year-old institution is one of the few places in Beverly Hills that'll remind you there used to be streetcars running along Canon Drive instead of Range Rovers. You’re slapped with old-time charm once your couldn’t-give-a-hoot waitress arrives with schmaltzy matzo ball soup, a solid pastrami sandwich, and beef-stuffed cabbage rolls. The menu is large (and so are the portions) and after a full meal here, you’ll want to slump in your leather booth and spend the rest of the day eating bagels with the gaggle of retried ladies in Juicy Couture in the next booth." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"This iconic Beverly Hills deli serves reliably good pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. Extensive breakfast offerings that include cheese blintzes, matzo brei, and plenty of smoked fish are worth checking out; there’s also a surprisingly formidable breakfast burrito, showing the spot knows its Angeleno audience. Inside, expect a no-frills but comfortable diner interior. The deli nearly closed in past years before gaining new ownership, hopefully giving it a long future ahead." - Matthew Kang
"Beverly Hills has worked long and hard at maintaining its reputation as a superficial void in the heart of Los Angeles. It's why Nate 'n Al is such an enigma. Open since the 1940s, this classic Jewish deli is one of the few authentic-feeling places in the area. It's also a great spot to post up and nurse a hangover. Their stuffed cabbage will forever have our heart, but the bagel and lox is equally consistent. Come weekends, the scene here is alive, but what’s a Sunday in BH without spotting an 85-year-old in Juicy sweats." - brant cox, garrett snyder
"Over the last few years, this classic Beverly Hills deli has weathered a series of setbacks with potential new locations, new owners, and temporary closures. Still, the longtime favorite is cranking out corned beef and pastrami to fans in the Golden Triangle. The meats are a step behind some of Los Angeles’s better delis, but the fantastic daytime vibes feel plucked right out of Mad Men." - Rebecca Roland
