Camelia

"The crew behind Echo Park’s enduring izakaya Tsubaki have opened this classy French Japanese bistro in the heart of the Arts District. Though its former life as Church & State conjured a streetside Parisian restaurant, Camélia’s sleek wood panels and minimalist furniture feel like a retro American diner. The cooking is excellent right out of the gate, with terrific seasonal ingredients expressed as French classics. Think loup de mer with oroshi ponzu, grilled Flannery steak with ginger brandy sauce, and ham katsu Croque Madame." - Eater Staff
