Celebrated hotel bar/restaurant serving Spanish-inspired tapas in an ornate, sprawling setting.
"Between the mid-00s and 2008, restaurants like the spectacular Bazaar by José Andrés in Los Angeles emerged." - Bettina Makalintal
"The Bazaar, a molecular gastronomy-focused, Spanish-influenced restaurant designed by Philippe Starck, opened in 2008 and received a four-star review from LA Times critic S. Irene Virbila in 2009." - Matthew Kang
"When a place has not merely hype, but also an elite vibe, painstaking service and excellent food, it is no surprise that chef José Andrés is behind it." - Abbe Baker
"When a place has not merely hype, but also an elite vibe, painstaking service and excellent food, it is no surprise that chef José Andrés is behind it. For the New Year, two seatings are offered, one from 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. and the other from 9:30 p.m. to 1:30 a.m. Go bold and opt for the latter of the two—priced at $325 per person—where the theme is 'Midnight Spanish Masquerade,' and features a welcome Champagne toast, 15 courses and a full dance floor complete with 'killer DJ beats.' An endless Dom Pérignon package is also available for a cool $800 should you truly like to ring 2020 in style." - Abbe Baker
"Nobel Peace Prize nominee and humanitarian chef José Andrés is throwing a huge 10th anniversary party for his LA restaurant The Bazaar, which resides on the first floor of the luxe SLS Hotel. The event includes dishes from all four Bazaar restaurants across the country, including Bazaar Meat in Vegas, Bazaar Mar in Miami, and Bazaar South Beach. Chefs from each location will serve upwards of twenty dishes in a roving format, including Andrés’ signature airbreads. Other dishes include a bao con lechon from South Beach, suckling pig from Vegas’s Bazaar Meat, and a nitro coconut floating island dessert created at LA’s own The Bazaar. Each of the Bazaars around the country will have special 10th anniversary menus as well until December 23, for anyone who misses out on the big party." - Matthew Kang
