Rooftop glamour meets seasonal Californian bites at Cara Cara, where stunning DTLA views and a cool vibe create the perfect setting for sunset cocktails and shared plates.
"No Angeleno or traveler has done Los Angeles brunch the way it should be done until dining on the Cara Cara rooftop. Views are expansive on the top floor of the Proper Hotel; the experience can only be heightened by a post-breakfast dip in the pool. Order a handful of chef Suzanne Goin’s dishes to share, like the mini lobster rolls, salads, and chipotle cauliflower tacos." - Eater Staff
"Go to Cara Cara on the top floor of the Proper Hotel for dynamic Downtown views, a dip in the pool, chef Suzanne Goin’s food — or all three. Goin’s piri piri fried chicken, tacos, and focaccia are particularly delicious, showcasing the chef’s instinct for using fresh seasonal ingredients." - Mona Holmes, Rebecca Roland
"Cara Cara is an expansive outdoor rooftop space at the Downtown LA Proper Hotel, offering an elevated dining area with endless LA skyline views. The space features a lushly landscaped lower lounge, where guests can enjoy cocktails like One Night in Tulum and a spirit-free Ginger Snap. The food offerings include light bites and substantial dishes such as Chipotle Carrot Tacos and Arroz con Mariscos with local seafood and Calabrian chili oil." - Chris Dong
"It’s easy to find something to eat or drink on the Cara Cara rooftop. With all-day fare from A.O.C. chef Suzanne Goin, there are cozy nooks situated throughout the space, along with cocktails, wine, and beer curated by Goin’s longtime business partner and sommelier, Caroline Styne." - Eater Staff
"Cara Cara serves as the rooftop bar and restaurant at The Proper Downtown and has some of the best views and strongest cocktails in the neighborhood. All of that should be music to your ears considering the only way you can get your lab technician cousin to talk is through a strong tequila sunrise. The menu is filled with standard rooftop-y dishes like salads, burgers, and cheese plates, but the piri piri chicken is a standout and its crispy skin will help drown out your cousin’s take on testing regulations.
