Chef Hannes Description:
The area of El Segundo along Pacific Coast Highway is littered with office buildings, malls and chain restaurants. Thankfully, the city is also home to Main Street, which has retained its bygone era charm. Situated near the south end of the strip is the bumblebee-colored Chef Hannes. Austrian Johannes Kraschitzer opened his California-Italian restaurant in 1999 to a rapturous welcome from local businessmen, who finally had a place to hold client lunches before flying out of nearby LAX. Success at dinnertime took a little longer, but now evening business is brisk as well. The eclectic menu is compact and draws from several countries, primarily Italy. Options include a starter of white beans with shrimp and calamari in lemon vinaigrette, brown rice and chicken gumbo with farmers market vegetables, and shrimp scampi in garlic and citrus sauce. Indoor seating is comfortable but tight, while the outdoor seating is spacious but subject to the roar of overhead airplanes. Beer and wine are available.
