San Laurel
8.8
José Andrés’ rooftop dining room at Conrad LA pairs Spanish technique with California seasonality, landing in a polished, view-heavy setting across from Disney Hall. The cooking leans modern Iberian—precise seafood, bright sauces, and shareable plates—while the service keeps the evening smooth and celebratory.
Must-Try Dishes:
Paella Valenciana (seasonal proteins), Gambas al Ajillo, Basque-style Cheesecake
