Fig & Olive
This Provencal-minded WeHo respite, No. 14 last year, is the “perfect location if you don't want to be in the thick of Beverly Hills,” says Sony Pictures Television publicist Naomi Bulochnikov. See the Power Lunch list here.

The Palm
When CAA managing partner Huvane moved to L.A., he recalls, “all of the agents at CAA went to The Palm.” Opened in West Hollywood in 1975, its walls soon festooned with a staggering 2,300 caricatures of everyone from Groucho Marx to Jack Nicholson, The Palm (No. 11) became an industry canteen.

Republique’s Chicken Salad
This counter-service lunch spot dominated by communal tables occupies the grand skylit space that was once home to Campanile. Opened a little over a year ago by husband and wife Walter and Margarita Manzke, it serves Mediterranean-influenced sandwiches and salads, including the popular chicken tossed with roasted Brussels sprouts, baby spinach, apples, caramelized pecans and cider vinaigrette. (Substitutions are “discouraged.”) Says WME’s David Stone: “I don’t frequently make it that far east for lunch, but I’m always impressed when I do.”
