"Espelette, a new fine-dining hotel restaurant at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, focuses on coastal Mediterranean fare. Helmed by chef Steve Benjamin, it emphasizes simplicity and seasonal produce. The restaurant is named after the espelette pepper from southwest France and features European-influenced dishes with locally sourced ingredients. Specialty items include Tête de Moine cheese and a diverse wine list. Espelette opens on May 12 and operates daily for breakfast and dinner." - Virali_Dave
