Who doesn’t love autumn in L.A.? The best produce — apples, squashes, and really the most delicious persimmons you’ll get anywhere — starts hitting menus. You can wear sweaters again. The hunt for warm, hearty food is on. It’s all here in this month’s Hit List.

Horses The former Ye Coach & Horses (more recently The Pikey) is now a California-centric bistro thanks to new owners, celebrated chefs Liz Johnson and Will Aghajanian (Freedman’s, Mimi, The Catbird Seat). The duo hope to breathe some joie de vivre into the refreshed iconic space with things like endive Caesar salads, an excellent burger, and subtle twists on cocktail classics. The vibe is lighter and brighter, but the history (and ghosts, we hear) is all there. BOOK NOW Cobi’s For nearly 50 years, Manhar and Margaret Patel ran Dhaba in Santa Monica, but have recently passed the torch to Cobi Marsh (Cobi’s Curries) and Lance Mueller (E.P. + L.P.) to take over. The two ran Cobi’s Curries out of their Koreatown kitchen until landing this new Westside space, bringing with them Southeast Asian-inspired street food, plus natural wines and crisp Asian lagers. With a fresh new look and a constant flow of soul and reggae beats in the background, it’s a hip new bright spot along Main Street. BOOK NOW Barbrix This cozy Silver Lake hideaway is the neighborhood restaurant everyone wished they had nearby, a place where regulars outnumber newcomers, the wine flows easily, and you never have to guess about the menu. Now serving mostly Italian dishes, there’s everything from bacon-wrapped dates to pastas, plus grilled branzino and charred steaks. Two more changes: the square bar that begged for lingering over a bottle (or two) is now a wine shop for drop-in and takeaway purchases, and the patio has taken over the parking lot. BOOK NOW Plus, an intimate sushi counter in Santa Monica, the L.A. outpost of one of Mexico City’s most popular taqueria chains, and more.
