Hugo's Restaurant, West Hollywood CA

Used to absolutely love this place. During the pandemic, when they were able to open, they had the best Happy Hour ever (no longer). I understand the price of everything has gone up in the last 2 years, but the pricing at Hugo's is now ridiculous. I loved their Mexican salad. It used to cost $15-$16. It's now priced at $22, and the portion is smaller. Their VERY basic burger (nothing special at all) is now $23. WOW. Sad, but I've been out priced here. It was very nice while it lasted.

The almond energy pancakes were really good! The strawberries had a little after taste? So I didn’t eat those. The Turkey bacon was good. I also had the chai tea which was great!

If you or a loved one has severe food allergies, this review is for you!
I have been safely eating at Hugo’s (at both the West Hollywood and their old Agoura locations) for many, many years. I am anaphylactic to dairy and they have been great with my allergy up until this point. I dined recently at the WeHo location and got the vegan reuben sandwich with a side salad. I talked with our server at length about my allergy and he seemed to really understand the severity of it, so I felt comfortable. However, clearly there is a lack of food allergy training with the kitchen staff because my sandwich was somehow contaminated with dairy and I had an allergic reaction as soon as I left the restaurant.

If you don’t have allergies, I highly recommend this place for their tasty food and amazing customer service, but if you do, I can no longer recommend this place in good conscience. I understand eating out is always a risk with severe food allergies, but it was a real disappointment that a place I’ve called safe for so long is no longer.

Attentive staff. Salmon was slightly over cooked, but veggies were nice. Good plantains. Side parking lot, free!

This is a low-key restaurant without an ounce of pretense that focuses intensely on providing healthful, delicious meals to its patrons, and carries that off extremely well.

Hugo's does not advertise itself as a health food restaurant, but the kitchen at Hugo's is supremely conscious of, and attentive to, the healthfulness of its preparations. Recently, for example, I commented to a waiter on the excellent taste of the table water they serve, and was told that they have a whole-building reverse-osmosis/carbon water filter installed on the roof of the building, and that they use that water in everything they create. Food at Hugo's is "organic as available, " and, when I inquire, I usually find that it is "organic in fact. "

Hugo's is the only restaurant at which I have ever seen Barramundi offered. This fish, featured about a year ago on one of the "Dr. Oz" shows as one of the world's most healthful foods, suddenly turned up at Hugo's as a special shortly after that program aired, and has continued to be offered from time to time on the specials menu. This is one of the many signs I've noticed over the years that Hugo's has it's head up to what's happening in that place where health and cuisine coincide.

The food is largely continental, but with spectacular creative touches. The beet salad, for example, is defined by a thicket of crisp cut vegetables, nuts, and dried organic cherries, with Roquefort cheese on the top (I usually substitute goat cheese). They have a very large menu of specials that change every week or so, including miraculous dishes like Indian lentil patties.

While the restaurant is not vegetarian, it has a greater variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes than most restaurants that claim to be "about that. " Chicken or turkey can be added to most of the vegetarian dishes for those who, like me, feel that they need animal protein. The turkey meat loaf is especially tasty.

Prices are quite moderate considering the quality of the food and of the service, and they accept the KCRW card for a 10 percent savings.

Excellent Service, one of the best places I visited in L. A.so far, totally recommended for friends and families

Had French Toast which is wonderful however presentation on plate not so much. Hugo's you know you can do way better.ijs

Perfect dine-in located in weho. Expect to be faced with a “hard” decision from a variety of well thought out options suitable for everyone. Great vegetarian options as well. This was an experience made better by our server Evan, who patiently navigated us through the menu with enthusiasm and honest recommendations.

Came across this cute relaxing place while walking around WeHo. Very friendly and attentive staff. Food was great too!

Mmmmm mmm! Salmon Fettuccine Alfredo @ Hugo's is by far my favorite. Highly recommend

Great place to have some upscale casual Mexican favorites, I'd recommend anyone to try this place.

Hearty and healthy meals. Our server was super friendly.
Most dishes have a way of making it vegetarian if that's what you need.
Couldn't fault it.

I didn't think the food was great (my brown rice had a hard, dry kernel in each grain), but Evan, our server, was charming and attentive.

Food: pasta was thick and hard.
Fish: old and taste bad
Service: the waiter took my food while I was eating, chewing.tables too low he couldn't see me but he didn't ask me or look at me, he looked my husband and answering his own question.while took my dish. Thanks food wasn't good so.
Restaurant with not line I don't understand his rush and he even offered desert.

Came to Hugo's not really knowing what style restaurant it is. They offer breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner.

They offer pancakes, French toast and more for breakfast options. Oddly hard to find unless you go to IHOP.

The steak, salmon and pasta are top. Steak is tender and flavorful.

We ate too fast to get pictures. 5 star food quality, flavors, service, and atmosphere all around.

Great service and a variety of unique breakfast options and plenty of veggie friendly alternatives!
