Rustic Canyon Wine Bar and Seasonal Kitchen

LOS ANGELES / CALIFORNIE DU SUD

@petitfute

"On aimerait que tous les restaurants de quartier soient aussi raffinés. Le menu est inspiré du marché fermier de Santa Monica, et change chaque mois. La liste des vins a été conçue avec soin mais on en paie le prix. Les bières artisanales ont aussi leur sommelier, d'où un choix tout aussi cornélien au moment de la commande. Ici, tout est bio et tout est bon !"

"#32 A room of mixed woods envelops you in its bustling din and butterscotch lighting. Mezcal sours are sipped alongside almonds distantly perfumed with lavender and generous, taut slices of coppa. Beaming servers wear bespoke aprons. Calling-card dishes (yielding pozole in salsa verde with mussels; a “beets and berries” salad enriched with avocado, pistachios and quinoa; polenta cake) mingle among seasonal surprises such as chanterelle toast with fennel butter and mango. Sounds like a quintessential Southern California restaurant, right? That’s Rustic Canyon. The kitchen, run by executive chef Andy Doubrava, must surely house a teleportation machine that sends the Santa Monica farmers market’s finest hauls straight to the restaurant. Sommelier Ferdinando Mucerino honors Rustic Canyon’s roots as a wine bar: Look for a $30 bottle of Grecian sparkling wine, a feisty Oregonian white called the Assassination of Chardonnay and pinot noirs from at least three continents in every imaginable price tier. Full bar. Valet parking. Credit cards accepted."
