Estérel Makeover At The Sofitel

Estérel Makeover 

By: Meilssa Lambarena


The Estérel restaurant unveiled its makeover including two unique and colorful new spaces, “Le Jardin” and “The Aviary”. It showcased the new design and decor at its opening in July where many Angelinos showed up to take in the view, enjoy drinks and sample the new French cuisine menu.

THE VIEW

Whatever mood you’re in, the Estérel has a room for it. If you’re an art connoisseur take in the view from their dining room, if you’re a private person you may enjoy a quiet evening in the Aviary and if you want to reflect after a long day you can do so in the mirrors of the beautiful mirror garden, Le Jardin.

THE SAMPLE MENU

The French menu showcases the savory elements of the Mediterranean and the Golden State. As part of the remodel, guests will now be able to have a view of the kitchen and catch a glimpse of the craft that goes into capturing the Mediterranean experience on their plate. The menu presented by Executive Chef Boroda is carefully selected to only include meats that have been compassionately raised and produce that has been farmed sustainably. Ingredients are gathered from the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market, The Hollywood Farmer’s Market, Petaluma Farms, K&M Grass-Fed Meats and others. Bon appetite!

This little delight was served at the grand opening as one of the items that will be added to the new menu. The lamb and yogurt – both staples of Mediterranean cuisine - complement each other in tangy and savory celebration for the taste buds.
