Inspired by our namesakes—LA restauranteur Marvin Zeidler and food writer, cookbook author, and teacher Judy Zeidler—our menu embraces Jewish culture with hints of Mediterranean flair and a nod to the ever-evolving LA food scene.

Zeidler’s Café provides a comfortable sit-down dining experience for Skirball visitors in our bright and airy restaurant or our sun-dappled courtyard. It's the perfect place to relax before or after a visit to the museum or a stroll through our beautiful oasis.

Museum admission is not required to dine at Zeidler's Café. Conveniently located between West LA and the southwest San Fernando Valley, take advantage of our free parking (and free Wi-Fi) to meet at Zeidler's for business lunches, leisurely dining, or friendly get-togethers.

Celebrated TV chef and acclaimed cookbook author Judy Zeidler was a well-known food authority who insisted that "cooking and entertaining should be fun." With a delicious array of convenient, grab-and-go salads, sandwiches, snacks, and beverages, Judy's Counter offers a touch of the warmth and hospitality Judy was cherished for.

Judy's Counter provides contemporary indoor and outdoor seating for a quick moment of relaxation with good food, a hot cappuccino, or a cold drink in hand. Visitors may also choose to find a secluded bench to reflect on their surroundings or let little ones frolic around the lily pond in Taper Courtyard.

Museum admission is not required to dine at Judy's Counter. Workers on the go are welcome to utilize our free parking and free Wi-Fi (and plenty of electrical outlets) to make Judy's your satellite office. We'll keep you fueled with caffeine or other pick-me-up and provide ambling, treelined pathways when you need a break.

Please note: Tables and chairs around campus are available on a first-come, first-served basis, and cannot be reserved.
