Angelenos crave what’s new and sexy, usually in that order, so were we really that surprised when owner Joe Pytka re-imagined the kitchen of Bastide as the culinary lab for young Ludovic Lefevbre? Well, to be honest, yes. But after witnessing Lefevbre’s inner-artist cut loose with fearless preparations that surprise and enchant, we find this Melrose Place restaurant more compelling than ever.
