Date Spot- Froggy's Topanga Canyon


Froggy's (Topanga Canyon)
1105 N Topanga Canyon Blvd
TopangaCA 90290
Froggy's is one of the coolest places around LA. It's stunning and a complete surprise. From the road, it looks like a random cute old-school wooden shop up Topanga Canyon. Upon entering and wandering to the back patio, it's jaw droppingly gorgeous...perched up high it looks over a vista of trees with fluttering leaves sparkling in the evening sun. I can't do it justice trying to describe the setting, it's awe-striking though and peaceful. They have misters that sprinkle you and keep it cool. The building has a lot of history and character, once being a school house and and before that a veteran's club. This is an ideal place for a first date because it's relaxed, has good food, can can be turned into a day at the beach.
 Aside from the killer ambiance there is killer food! In fact, the BEST artichoke in Los Angleles....how random and wonderful. And great fish tacos (it is a fish market). Things that stuck out on the menu...Fish tacos (plus other types of tacos), guacamole, artichoke, beet/goat cheese/nut situation / fresh salads....I can't remember it all but it all looked good :)

Ideal Day / How to use a weekend properly:
12/1pm... drive to Topanga/Malibu Beach. Lie on beach, frolic in water, read book, RELAX like the weekend is the real deal.
4:00pm ....getting hungry...
4:45pm... pack up from beach, zip up Topanga Canyon & pull up to Froggy's, be blown away by how cool this place is
