San Laurel Chef José Andrés’ finer dining restaurant San Laurel on the 10th floor of Conrad Los Angeles serves a stellar tasting menu on the restaurant’s terrace overlooking the Walt Disney Concert Hall or in the main dining room along the glass-encased open kitchen. The Chef’s Table experience ($180 per person), which needs to be booked in advance, begins with a cocktail and includes seven courses that wind through Spanish-inflected lighter bites, like a yuzu persimmon salad and hiramasa ceviche, before ending with black cod and wagyu beef.
Dessert includes an impeccable selection of mignardise and is as memorable as the meal. Reservations are available on OpenTable . Also featured in: Where to Eat Along the Dodgers World Series Parad.
