Bacari - Silverlake

Trees grow straight up out of the courtyard patio this Sunset Boulevard spot inherited from Cliff's Edge, fenced in wrought iron and set with fire pits. The kitchen sends out Israeli-leaning small plates meant for sharing, such as lamb hummus, Moroccan cigars, sabich pita and shawarma tacos, along with a few pizzas. Every night there's a 90-minute open bar of house wine, sangria, beer and well cocktails, though the whole table has to join in. Weekend brunch brings shakshouka, burekas, mimosas and bellinis.
