"Los Angeles restaurant veterans Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne have a hit on their hands with Caldo Verde in Downtown. The Proper Hotel project touches on the flavors of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly Portugal, while still feeling like a fully Californian restaurant. There is beauty in the seemingly simple here, but that’s to be expected from the legends who run AOC on West Third Street. Make sure to try the eponymous caldo verde, made with local rock crab, grilled linguica, kale, mussels, and potato. Open all day, Caldo Verde also serves a daily breakfast of French toast, avocado toast, and omelets." - Rebecca Roland
"We’re not sure if the greenery inside Caldo Verde will be swapped out for Christmas trees, but we do know that this spot inside DTLA’s Proper Hotel will be open on Christmas Day with its usual a la carte menu. They are also adding a few specials for the occasion, like duck leg with a lima bean gratin and porchetta with polenta, pickled shallots, and salsa verde." - cathy park, sylvio martins

"Food writer Khushbu Shah is collaborating with chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne on a special dinner on Thursday, November 21 at a Downtown Los Angeles location, featuring Goin’s take on recipes from Shah’s new cookbook, AMRIKAN: 125 Recipes from the Indian American Diaspora.

"LA restaurant veterans Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne have another hit on their hands with Caldo Verde. Located on the ground floor of the Proper Hotel, the restaurant explores the flavors of the Iberian Peninsula, particularly Portugal, while never losing its California essence. The caldo verde (the restaurant’s namesake dish) — arrives in a cauldron brimming with sausages, seafood, potatoes, and kale — comforts like few stews can. If time allows, sneak in an expertly made cocktail at Dahila Lounge next door." - Eater Staff
