๐บ๐ธ๏ฝ A One-of-a-Kind Michelin Star Experience for the Holidays ๐๐ฝ๏ธ
After being closed for four years, the two-Michelin-star restaurant Vespertine has finally reopened in early 2024! While the initial closure was partly due to broader circumstances, there were also whispers about internal staff issues. Through it all, visionary chef Jordan Kahn โ a true pioneer of avant-garde cuisine โ traveled to Mexico, where he found new inspiration in nature. His latest menu and dining environment reflect a deeper, more organic connection to the earth, redefining our relationship with the natural world. ๐ฟ ๐ข The building itself is an architectural masterpiece, designed by the renowned Eric Owen Moss. Even in LAโs artsy Culver City, it stands out. The space is arranged across multiple levels: ๐งโ๐ณ Top floor: open kitchen ๐ฝ๏ธ Middle floor: dining area ๐ฎ Ground floor: dessert lounge Itโs a fully immersive experience from start to finish. โณ I highly recommend booking a 6:00 PM reservation โ golden hour light pours in, making the atmosphere even more magical. The dining experience is deeply Zen, and the creativity and artistry of each dish are simply breathtaking. Unlike many other Michelin-starred spots, Vespertine feels less commercial and more like a multisensory art exhibition โ combining taste, sight, sound, and scent into one unforgettable journey. ๐ต Pricing is around $1,000 for two with wine pairing ๐ Open TuesdayโSaturday, 6:00 PMโ8:30 PM (closed Sun & Mon) ๐ 3599 Hayden Ave, Culver City, CA Perfect for a special occasion, a romantic date, or anyone looking to be inspired by food as art. โจ #VespertineLA #MichelinStar #AvantGardeDining #CulverCity #FineDining #HolidayExperience #JordanKahn #ArtAndFood #LAFoodScene #UniqueEats
