Tucked away in a beautiful floral patio in West Hollywood is a delicious escape from all of the madness in Weho. It’s a gorgeous oasis of color and amazing food. You will be very happy to find this hidden gem, Violet Queen Weho.
Here’s what I tried:
Cocktails:
Violet Lemonade; is the perfect drink on a hot day.
Queen Violet Champagne; butterfly pea and lavender syrup. A crazy good cocktail with very unique flavors.
Brunch Menu – Snacks:
Rib Eye Chile Cheese Potatoes; season diced rib eye, medley potatoes, onion, cilantro, Mexican cheese, sour cream, pickles, and jalapenos drizzle, with Siracha mayo. It is a huge portion that has many action-packed nuances. The whole experience is wonderful. I would try this one again.
Love at First Bite:
Cigar Rolls; stuffed with spinach and cream cheese served with spicy creamy lime sauce.
This appetizer is very different from what you would expect. When I’ve had cigar rolls in the past, they had meat in them, but the creamy rich spinach is otherworldly.
Chef Sara’s Selections;
Magic Noodles; glass noodles, shrimp, onion, and cilantro, in a spicy lime dressing. These noodles change their color when you put the dressing on them and they go from green to purple. The flavor of the dressing is fantastic, and all of the ingredients make for one incredible dish.
Rice & Curry:
Hawaiian Fried Rice with shrimp, in yellow curry rice, chicken, egg, pineapple, onion, and cashew nuts. The fresh pineapple bounty is perfect for this succulent rice dish.
Noodles:
Pad Thai, in tamarind authentic sauce served with fresh lime and crushed peanuts, with rice noodles, prawns, eggs, onions, bean sprouts, and firm tofu. Gluten-Free. One of my favorite Thai dishes; I always order this. Queen Violet did this dish justice; it was simply spectacular.
Dessert:
Banana s’mores; with banana, marshmallow, chocolate, and almond, served with ice cream.This dessert is so decadent, it’s a great way to end my astounding meal.
The food and the ambiance are just so special, it’s a great Thai fusion restaurant. I would recommend going as much as possible. It’s very conveniently located to me and is just a peaceful and calming environment that is very conducive to a nice restful meal.
