Good for special occasions
Great for outdoor dining
Fancy

San Laurel, from Michelin-starred chef José Andrés at the Conrad Los Angeles, builds a culinary bridge between the Iberian Peninsula and Southern California. Using the freshest sustainable produce from local farmers' markets in Los Angeles, our cuisine marries bold, beautiful Spanish flavors with the bounty of the Golden State. Named for the aromatic bay laurel, itself a transplant from the Mediterranean to coastal California, San Laurel's inspiration stretches from Spain to the glimmering shores of the Pacific.

Taking the time to celebrate life 🥂✨ It’s always so nice to celebrate with your loved ones and after the first day of wedding dress shopping, my best friend booked us a lunch reservation at @sanlaurelbyjose and it was such a perfect meal! 🥹 She ordered us a bottle of champagne and it was such a perfect way to celebrate. It felt like such a special moment and we always have such a good time together 🫶🏼 @sanlaurelbyjose offers a lunch pre-fixe menu for $48 per person where you get an assortment of appetizers and your choice of entree!

Unfortunately, this experience was not our best time at the San Laurel. The food was not well prepared, the eggs and mushrooms were rubbery and the bread needed to be refreshed. Typically, the San Laurel is a treat and a part of our date day before the Opera.

Great meal, good service, had kind of an awkward large table for only 5 ppl but had a cool view of the kitchen if you're into that. Other parts of the restaurant have more ambience.

We were there for over an hour but our dinner was never served. The waitress said our food will not be ready in time and she brought the bill for one salad and a bottle of water; we left without having dinner in order not to miss the show across the street.

What a find! San Laurel is a stunner. Located on the 10th floor of the Conrad hotel directly across from the majestic Disney Concert Hall, this hidden Juan Andres gem does not disappoint. The food is amazing, the service impeccable, and the outdoor patio with its views of the Music Center and skyline provides a cozy, fresh setting. If it's a chilly evening, there are heaters and the staff are happy to bring blankets. It's a bit spendy, which is not surprising, but if you are looking for a special spot for dinner, make a reservation.
