Hugo’s Restaurant

8401 Santa Monica Boulevard, West Hollywood

Hugo’s Restaurant was built on founder Terry Kaplan's vision which included “a kitchen producing original and wonderful foods found nowhere else” and "a compelling and exciting thought...to have a family of co-workers who cared for each other in a genuine way. They would experience support, respect and feelings of well-being. That would be the true heart and soul, the inspiring element" of Hugo's.

“West Hollywood has always been a very dog-friendly neighborhood, so we provided an entrance to our outdoor patio just for dogs. Water in a plastic container can be provided by a server if the owner requests. The drought in California affects all our guests.”
