L2O

A Modern Seafood Restaurant

Chef Laurent Gras – formerly of the great French restaurants of Alain Ducasse, Guy Savoy, Jacques Maximin, and Alain Senderens – left those places to operate his own celebrated New York and San Francisco restaurants.

He left them behind for the opportunity to build his ideal restaurant from the ground up. Enter L2O, his love, his laboratory, his playground. Here are brought the world's finest obtainable seafood, meats, poultry, and produce from suppliers Chef Gras sought out in his worldwide travels. What emerges from his kitchen are the dishes that define his restaurant: surprising to the eye and titillating to the palate. A parade of unexpected textures and unimagined combinations, they are experiences unique to this restaurant.

Playfully imbued with discovery and delight, Laurent Gras' cuisine may not change your life, but it will unquestionably enhance it, while expanding your ideas of what great dining is about.

L2O named “Restaurant of the Year” in the annual list of the 20 Best New Restaurants
