When you elevate simple dishes with the best ingredients and painstaking attention to detail, you get the cuisine of Agnes. This new restaurant takes the place of the former Pasadena Fire Department’s horse stable. It will have a bar, lounge area, outdoor tables, an open kitchen, and a bright dining room. Whether you want to nibble at a cheese and charcuterie board or a tin of marinated mussels, these tried and true bites will satisfy your need for nourishing flavors. Here, first-time restaurant owners Vanessa Tialaka and Thomas Kalb will bring their restaurant backgrounds to the table to create a comforting experience. At Agnes, it’s all about the tiny details — from the type of mustard to the crackers that are placed on the charcuterie board. Come here for familiar foods and high-end presentation blended with the warmth of home cooking.
Lincoln Carson, the former chef of Bon Temps, has returned to L.A. with two operations: giving the Thompson Hotel’s rooftop Bar Lis a fresh lounge menu and opening Mes Amis on the ground floor. This new restaurant will focus on the hottest French bistro fare, which includes all the delicate yet bold flavors one would expect from such intricate cuisine. Carson plans to integrate seasonal produce and bring in influences from the most beloved French cafes and brasseries. In addition, Carson’s talent with pastry is not to be missed. Come spring 2022, a new name in French cuisine and patisserie will be in town, and it will be worth it to have a place for renters to stay nearby Mes Amis.
If you have a hankering for Brazilian food, then you have to get a taste of Rodrigo Oliviera’s first American restaurant, Caboco.

Such attention to detail is what you’ll find in every dish at this up-and-coming restaurant where simple ingredients become extraordinary when cooked with ingenious techniques. Oliveira is partnering with fellow chef Victor Vasconcellos to offer L.A. a wealth of Brazilian food that includes decadent entrees that take locals beyond the familiar churrascarias. Also, those looking for a romantic and relaxing mood will love the soft amber lighting and peaceful environment that awaits.
