Hotel Figueroa’s reputation as a magnet for progressive thinkers first put it on the map nearly a century ago—and now, James Beard Award nominee Casey Lane’s culinary artistry keep visitors and locals coming back in droves. At Breva and Veranda, Chef Lane expertly melds Mediterranean influences with California’s own storied culinary legacy, using the best locally sourced ingredients to create uniquely flavorful menus that underscore DTLA’s burgeoning status as a sought-after destination for serious foodies. Meanwhile, at Bar Figueroa, Bar Alta and Rick’s, craft-bartending pioneer Dushan Zaric has created a list of singular cocktails that enhance the dining experience and are conversation-starters themselves, served in an electric scene that keeps L.A.’s best and brightest buzzing into the wee hours.
This Spring, Chef Adrian Garcia is serving an authentic Mexican popup menu, befitting the tropical vibe at Veranda, DTLA’s urban oasis at Hotel Figueroa. Carnitas de Puerco, Chiles Rellenos and Enchiladas will be braised and baked ‘al horno’ in the outdoor brick oven. From Pescado Baja to Pollo Adobado to Carne Asada, classic tacos will be made with hand-pressed tortillas and topped with fresh, housemade salsas, as well as Mexican chiles and cheeses.
Cocktailer Dushan Zaric has created an agave program that spotlights some of Mexico’s finest Tequila and Mezcal distillers and their unique takes on the craft. Mixed with house-made ingredients such as grapefruit and hibiscus cordials, and mango sangrita, the cocktails complement Chef Garcia’s cuisine. Kick back poolside and toast this season with a fresh fruit margarita or snifter of Tequila. Salud y buen provecho!
