Warm-Weather Edibles

XIOMARA69 N. Raymond Ave., Pasadena(626) 796-2520

Xiomara is pronounced "see-oh-mara," an appropriately exotic-sounding name for a restaurant that specializes in French-Latin fare. The dishes aren't overly pricey, and they're as varied as they are delicious. Try the ceviche ($9) and follow it up with a spicy duck ropa vieja on a Colombian arepa (shredded duck meat, sauteed yellow corn cake and watercress with Cuban-style marinated tomatoes, $10). Xiomara is the perfect spot for those special dining occasions and offers weekday business-lunch specials ($9.50).

YABU521 North La Cienaga, West Hollywood(310) 854-040011820 West Pico, Los Angeles(310) 473-9757

Wolfgang Puck ain't the only one that can do noodles. Try Yabu's kinpun soba (noodles in a broth with gold leaf; $15) or soba with chicken ($7.50) or duck ($8.50) with fish broth. If you've yet to master the noodle slurp (suck them up too fast and you'll put your eye out), try the crispy, golden-brown shrimp and veggie tempura ($12). End the evening with a traditional dessert Wolfgang can't even pronounce: kuzunagashi, red beans topped with green-tea sauce and vanilla ice cream ($5.50). Lunch and dinner seven days. Beer and wine; take out; valet. AE, DC, DIS, MC, V.

Yangtze Restuarant1333 Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica(310) 260-1994

Having a hard time deciding between Thai, Chinese or sushi? Look no further - Yangtze, right in the heart of Santa Monica's bustling Third Street Promenade, has variations on all three cuisines. Stop in after a'malling and try the Chow Fun, a noodle dish featuring choice of meat and veggies smothered in a velvety brown sauce ($8) or kung pao chicken ($8). Check out the sushi for less than half the price of most sushi bars. Lunch and dinner seven day Beer and wine; takeout; delivery; catering; parking. AE, DC, DIS, MC, V.

YE OLDE KING'S HEAD PUB116 Santa Monica Blvd., Santa Monica(310) 451-1402

On Comedy Central's Daily Show, John Cleese defended Great Britain's much-maligned culinary tradition by saying, "We had an empire to run!" Well, Ye Olde King's Head Pub colonized this corner of Santa Monica 25 years ago, and has been devoting itself to serving royally good British food ever since. The fish and chips ($11.50 dinner, $8.50 small) are stables among the regulars, and the shepherd's pie ($10.25, $6.25) and steak and kidney pie ($10.50, dinner only) are not to be missed. Lunch and dinner seven days. Full bar; parking. AE, MC, V.

ZIA FETTUCCINI809 N. Palm Ave. W. Hollywood(310) 657-9076

Everything about this cozy restaurant brings to mind images of an romantic evening in Little Italy. A handful of tables lit with dim candlelight. String music in the air. People stuffing their face with any one of the many varieties of homemade ravioli (chicken, veal, ricotta, or salmon, and each $7.95), a dish of jumbo shrimp bathed in clam sauce ($12.95), and some fresh garlic rolls on the side. Finish it all off with the tiramisu ($3.50) to round out this authentic and inexpensive Italian feast. Lunch and dinner seven days.. Beer and wine; takeout, delivery, catering. AE, DIS, MC, V.
