LA🍷 Updated Boozy Map: Bar Etoile —🍷

Where You Can Eat Hearty & Drink Deep! 🥩 As someone who’s always hunting for spots with great food AND great drinks, this place has been on my list forever—and it did not disappoint! 🍞 Bub’s Bread The sourdough bread was incredibly fragrant—the kind with that perfect chewy, elastic texture I love. We didn’t order it at first, but our server kept recommending it… and as soon as our first small plate arrived, we immediately asked to add the bread! It’s the ideal match for their savory small plates. 🧈🔥 🍽️ Mortadella, Sardine Tonnato, Sprouting Cauliflower Solid starters—well-seasoned and very Asian-palate-friendly. 🥘 Scallop Crudo Highly recommend this one! The menu mentioned XO oil, which got my friend and me curious. The scallops were super tender, topped with a fragrant meat-based sauce that blended the XO flavors perfectly—rich but surprisingly refreshing. 🌊👌 🥩 Steak Frites The steak was so tender! Topped with a vibrant green sauce that added great depth. The fries were just okay, but since I’m a serious meat lover, this dish gets high marks from me. 💯 🍷 Drinks: Skin Contact Wine I tried the much-recommended skin-contact wine—a white with a subtle tannic edge that balanced acidity and sweetness beautifully. It paired perfectly with the steak… so good I ordered a second glass! 🥂 (Heads up: it’s not low in alcohol content though 😅) Later, I noticed their wine list seems to change daily—both the skin-contact and red wine selections vary. All in all, a perfect spot for eating and drinking your way through the evening. 📌 Recommend making a reservation in advance! Have you been here? What’s your go-to food-and-drink pairing spot in LA?
