From Laurel Canyon to the Sunset Strip, Los Angeles has always been a city of great music—and a city of great food. That’s why OpenTable is partnering with some of LA’s top restaurants for a dinner series that combines these two creative pursuits, letting chefs curate dining experiences based on the sounds and flavors that inspire them.
Menus feature greatest hits or entirely new dishes paired up with curated playlists or live musical performances. Here’s the setlist:
Meteora — August 16
Chef Jordan Kahn is known for creating immersive, singular dining experiences and at Meteora, diners are transported to an elemental, “high-vibrational” space that feels like eating in an ancient jungle. In other words, it’s the perfect place to experience the pairing of music and food.
Verse — August 17
17-time Grammy-winning mixer Manny Marroquin wanted to “create a recording studio big enough to fit a restaurant in”… and that’s how Verse was born. Enjoy a menu that draws from LA’s international influences while experiencing live music in one of the city’s most pristine acoustic settings.
Best Bet Pizzeria — August 22
This hotly anticipated new spot from The Rose’s Jason Neroni is already garnering buzz for the veteran chef’s riffs on California Italian. This highly personal restaurant is already filled with the chef’s favorite artists, and the menu reflects his influences throughout the years—now you can try a special version of it paired with his favorite music.
Pasjoli — August 23
Did you know this lauded Santa Monica French spot has a secret garden? This charming space will be the venue for a multi-course dinner and a cooking demonstration from Chef Dave Beran, all set to a playlist tailored to the experience.
Rossoblu — August 27
Come experience this DTLA classic in a new light. Chef Steve Samson has enlisted his best friend to help curate the music, and the event will feature a pasta making demonstration from Sfoglino Francesco Allegro along with a four course meal with curated wine pairings.
