Joachim Splichal & Fernando Darin
Los Angeles, CA




Joachim Splichal's flagship restaurant, nestled in the Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall in downtown Los Angeles, is a destination for foodies hailing from far and wide. In the gifted hands of executive chef Tony Esnault, the luxe French cuisine continues to draw applause from the culinary cognoscenti. There’s a serious wine list and the celebrated cheese cart is one of the best in the city.
