Fiona, the airy Fairfax gem by Nicole Rucker, serves up inventive bites and award-winning pastries, perfect for any time of day.
"Closed after just nine short months. Fiona opened as a bakery complete with Nicole Rucker’s famous pies, cookies, pastries, and breads." - Eater Staff
"Nicole Rucker is living in her dream at Fiona, an airy first standalone space for the star baker, situated right on Fairfax. Fiona is part pie and bread shop, part morning sweets destination, and — more than a little bit — part home for Shawn Pham, who’s leading the full food menu with what could be some of the city’s most creative new dishes." - Farley Elliott
"Nicole Rucker’s first standalone restaurant and bakery project is set to open next week. The Fairfax newcomer is called Fiona, and while it will absolutely offer things like takeaway breads and the pies that have made Rucker such a household name, the restaurant will also feature plenty of savory-side stuff from chef Shawn Pham, formerly of Simbal. Over on Instagram yesterday reps for the restaurant announced an official debut set for Monday, November 19, to coincide with the start of the holiday season and their pie pick-ups. The full strength of the restaurant will continue to roll out in the weeks that follow." - Farley Elliott
"Fiona, by Nicole Rucker, is an all-day restaurant featuring pastries, pies, soups, and savory dishes, with partners James Starr and Jason Bernstein." - Matthew Kang
"Nicole Rucker sure stays busy. The popular pastry chef has already won prestigious awards for her pies and has made an impact on the Los Angeles coffee scene by wholesaling her stuff to some of the best shops in town, but now she’s closer than ever to actually going out on her own with a new restaurant planned for Fairfax." - Farley Elliott
