Restaurant: Meteora
π Location: 6703 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038 This place is absolutely magical πΏπ« β a lush tropical oasis that makes you feel like dining in a primeval forest! I went in with modest expectations, but the experience completely blew me away. Truly an unforgettable meal π Helmed by Chef Jordan Kahn (alum of The French Laundry and Alinea π³), Meteora is inspired by "an ancient temple reclaimed by nature." Step inside and youβre surrounded by over 600 plants β a total green sanctuary π± The menu focuses on fire-grilled and smoked flavors π₯π. We tried the 7-course tasting menu ($150/person). Standouts included: Caramel-glazed scallops π― Grilled striped bass with kumquat π (so fragrant and refreshing!) Two incredible desserts: sorbet and tropical chocolate π« Portions are delicate but elegant β β¨the combination of creative cuisine and enchanting atmosphere makes it totally worth it! π½οΈFeel like youβve escaped the city without ever leaving LA #LALife #LAFood #DesignDining #GardenRestaurant
