Pico-Robertson, Los Angeles, CA · $$
Opened in 1977 by Bernie & Leah (Spielberg) Adler, The Milky Way is a storied, family-owned restaurant located in the heart of the Pico-Robertson neighborhood of Los Angeles. Our New American menu is a celebration of California’s bounty of fresh, seasonal produce and sustainably-sourced seafood, carefully selected and thoughtfully prepared according to Kosher guidelines and practices. Guests can enjoy our hearty vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free dishes for Lunch, Dinner and Sunday Brunch on our outdoor patio or in our cozy, intimate dining room. Now under the ownership of the next generation of Spielbergs, The Milky Way continues to be a gathering place for locals and visitors alike, as well as a tribute to the family’s beloved mother Leah, warmly known as LeeLee. On any given evening, LeeLee could be found dancing through the dining room, greeting guests by name, topping off drinks and even gracing the crowd with a song or two on the piano. Her adventurous spirit and tireless sense of hospitality imbue everything from our décor to our menus to the way we treat our guests—as she would—like family.
“I came here on a whim and did not regret it. I am somewhat unfamiliar with Jewish foods and was excited to try something new. The server kindly suggested the breakfast sandwich, which on paper did not seem like anything special. I was very wrong. This is a top 3 breakfast sandwich I've ever had! Very light. Very delicious. Very pretty.”
“I have not been to this place in over a decade. In fact I am usually turned off by dairy restaurants. I had a weak moment and my wife made me try it again. WOW was I in for a surprise. The waiter was polite and courteous. Gabriel the server came over to us almost immediately and seemed very sincere and offered his opinions which ended up being spot on. The food came out extremely fast and was very tasty!!! I give this place two thumbs up.”
“Their food is sooooo good! Especially the cheese blintzes! I have gone here so many times and they never disappoint!!”

“This restaurant is delicious! I haven’t been back since they remodeled it and was so happy to see how they upgraded the space. It’s really tastefully done. The dining room has a nice homey feel. Ok, the food: Very fish heavy menu- everything was super yummy! We ordered the fish chowder- very decadent, creamy and had nice big chunks of fish. Def ordered it! Fish taco were great. It came with a side of Caesar salad which gave me memories of the old place! Tuna melt was 10/10. There is a nice mix of healthy and heavy dishes which makes this restaurant a good option for lots of different type of people or moods. Overall experience was 10/10 (Besides for the temp, it was freezing!)”
