Every so often this girl gets Michelin stars in her eyes and Providence is one of the best restaurants in the city that has maintained its 2-star Michelin status since the guide returned to Los Angeles!
First awarded in 2009, Chef Michael Cimarusti offers various options to try his seafood-centric multi-plated menu.
Every Friday you can dine a-la-carte or with a 4-course prix-fixe for $95 during lunch. During dinner, there are multiple Tasting Menu options that range from $185-$240 and now also include a special Anniversary Tasting Menu that offers 5-courses for $105 a person.
Here is a look at my first experience at Providence from years ago which was a 10-Course Tasting Menu dinner
Amuse Bouche, The Dark and Stormy with Ginger Beer
Amuse Bouche, Grilled Kumamoto Oyster, American caviar, and smoked butter
Amuse Bouche, crispy salmon skin crackers topped with Roe. Talk about sustainable eating!
Amuse Bouche, Wagyu Beef Cigars
Amuse Bouche, Squid and Chorizo
Sashimi, with Calabrian chiles, lemon, and mint.
Squid Carbonara, with La Quercia pancetta
Spot Prawn, with spring greens and miso-almost too beautiful to eat.
Scallop, with black truffle, salted butter, lemon, and chive-from slice to bite.
Striped Bass, with cranberry beans, saffron, and fennel.
Wild King Salmon, with peach, mustard, and onion
A5 Wagyu, with corn chanterelles, and bone marrow
Artisanal Cheeses, my favorite part of the meal. Handpicked and perfect. The only downside, far too full for my stomach to keep up with tastebuds.
Guava, with passion fruit, pineapple, and matcha
Soy Jasmine, with concord grapes, and yuzu
Bonus Dessert-to celebrate 10 years of sitting across from the same set of sleeves
