Which Terranea Restaurant Has PV's Best Burger?

The answer may surprise you.

Last year, Palos Verdes Patch readers decided that Nelson's at Terranea Resort in Rancho Palos Verdes served the best burger on the Hill. 

Farley Elliott of L.A. Weekly's Squid Ink food blog believes another Palos Verdes restaurant might take that honor: Mar'sel.

Mar'sel, which is Terranea Resort's most upscale restaurant, serves the Down Low Burger, which Elliott calls "a structural … beauty." The burger impressed him enough that he gave it the No. 1 spot on his list of "5 Great Burgers in Los Angeles" last month.

"The whole thing is done as a re-imagining of the In-N-Out Double Double, with Wagyu beef, aged white cheddar, caramelized onions and one perfectly pillowy bun used to set a new standard," Elliott writes. "Mar'sel's burger is one to be reckoned with, assuming you can make a reservation, find the damn place and actually order one before they run out."

None of the other burgers featured on Elliott's list can be found in the South Bay.
