Featured In

At the new Downtown LA Proper Hotel, James Beard award-winning chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne of A.O.C fame have blended Portuguese style with California-inspired fare to create an all-day, market-driven menu with something for everyone. The mural-covered ground-floor restaurant offers bright salads and veggie plates like blood orange and cara cara, kale and farro, and a “mess” of local greens sauteed with garlic and chile. Or you can go heavier with Piri Piri Chicken plated with crispy fries and emerald arugula, or bold Beef Cheeks over creamy avocado, topped with green chile, crema, and radishes. If you’ve got an appetite and are dining with a group, you’ll want to try the signature Caldo Verde seafood stew overflowing with mussels, local rock crab, grilled linguiça sausage, kale, and potatoes. The wine list sticks with the restaurant’s roots with offerings from California, Spain, and Portugal, including a few sweet ports.

This Portuguese-inflected restaurant from chef Suzanne Goin and restaurateur Caroline Styne of A.O.C fame landed in the Downtown LA Proper Hotel last fall, debuting Caldo Verde as a colorful lobby-level restaurant with murals and original tiles throughout, as well as Cara Cara, a slightly more casual rooftop concept with unmarred views of Downtown LA. With all-day service, visit Caldo Verde for breakfast to tuck into dishes like Carnitas and Sweet Potato Hash, for lunch to grab Lemon Chicken Paillard with herbed french fries, or stop by for dinner to enjoy favorites like the eponymous Caldo Verde stew that’s loaded with seafood, or the Piri Piri Chicken with french fries. Cocktails like Bairro Alto go down easy with tequila and pomegranate, though there’s also an impressive dry sherry and sweet wine list for those who want to drink their dessert.
