A.O.C.

LOS ANGELES / CALIFORNIE DU SUD

@petitfute

"AOC est le deuxième établissement ouvert par Suzanne Goin et Caroline Styne, un duo talentueux, passionné de gastronomie et de vin. La première, qui a fait ses classes auprès des plus grands chefs, propose une cuisine inventive aux ascendances méditerranéennes aromatisée avec des épices du monde entier. Son associée a quant à elle élaborée la carte des vins, primée plusieurs fois et qui présente une centaine de références."

101 Best restaurants of Los Angeles

@latimes

"#41 Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne’s sophomore restaurant presaged the “globally inspired” small-plates thing in Los Angeles and helped establish what could have been a neighborhood wine bar as a serious dinner destination. You could spend many happy nights in the courtyard patio — a tableau of Moorish tiles, laurel trees and a red-brick open hearth — with only the wine menu at hand (the list is more than 20 pages long). A.O.C. has the soul of a wine bar, but it’s Goin’s quietly virtuosic cooking, French and Mediterranean at heart, that keeps you coming back. Dishes such as pork confit served with figs, and summer squash tossed with Fresno chiles, vibrate with brilliant contrasts and twists. The Parmesan-stuffed, bacon-wrapped dates are perhaps the dish most closely associated with A.O.C. But leave room for focaccia — it’s among the best in the city. Full bar. Valet parking. Credit cards accepted."
