6. The neighborhood technically only has 2 restaurants
Despite being so close to the water, Vinegar Hill technically only has two restaurants: Cafe Gitane and Vinegar Hill House. Cafe Gitane is a French and Moroccan eatery with locations on Mott Street, Los Angeles, and Tokyo. Located on Hudson Avenue, one of the neighborhood’s main streets, Cafe Gitane boasts popular dishes like pomegranate glazed salmon fillet, yellowfin tuna ceviche, and Moroccan couscous with red peppers, potatoes, raisins, toasted pine nuts, hummus, and eggplant.
Vinegar Hill House is one of the neighborhood’s defining attractions. Located right next to Cafe Gitane, the New American spot has been open since 2008, with rustic wooden accents and lots of art. Dishes include striped bass with heirloom potatoes and sauerkraut butter, red wattle pork chop, and charred octopus.
