🇺🇸 LA Must-Try｜San Laurel — Elegant & Reliably Excellent

Tucked inside the Conrad Hotel with views of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, San Laurel offers a quiet, upscale atmosphere with impeccable service — like a mini getaway in the city. Helmed by Chef José Andrés, the menu highlights fresh ingredients from Southern California farmers’ markets — clean, vibrant, and beautifully layered. 🍽️ We went with the Lunch Pre-Fixe Menu ($48/person) — perfect for the indecisive! 🍴 Starters (4 total): • Fried Oysters — Crispy outside, warm and tender inside. • Peruvian Scallops — Fresh raw scallops with a bright, tangy sauce. • Hiramasa Crudo — Light fish paired with zesty seasoning. • Heirloom Tomatoes — A fresh, refreshing salad. 🍽️ Mains (choose 2): • Grilled Octopus — Perfectly charred, chewy yet tender, deeply flavorful. • Grilled Sea Bass — Delicate with a hint of smoke, served with a savory sauce that ties everything together. 💭 Mini comparison: More refined and better value than Seattle’s popular La Mar. Here, the flavors feel more delicate, the setting is serene, and the service genuinely attentive. 📍 San Laurel 100 S Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012 Perfect for a date, a special lunch, or when you simply want a beautifully prepared meal in a calm, scenic space. #SanLaurel #ConradLA #FineDining #LosAngelesEats #ChefJoseAndres #LunchMenu #DTLAdining #UpscaleCasual #ViewAndFood #LAdateSpot #FoodExperience #MustTryLA #EatWithAView #CaliforniaCuisine
