About Olive & Thyme

Olive & Thyme sits on Riverside Drive between Toluca Lake and the Burbank studio lots, which is why the patio at one in the afternoon reads like a production meeting that escaped the building. It is a cafe and a market at once — you order sandwiches and salads at the counter, and on the way out you pick up cheese, olive oil, and a loaf of something. The cooking is Californian in the plain sense: good produce, restrained dressing, bread that matters. It closes in the afternoon and stays shut on Sundays, which tells you exactly what it is for. For a weekday lunch that is genuinely good rather than merely convenient, this end of the Valley has nothing better.
