Grand Cafe
The Omni Los Angeles Hotel at California Plaza is the anchor of bustling California Plaza, lushly landscaped with sculptures and fountains. Grand Cafe is a hidden treasure within the hotel, where visual art meets the culinary arts.
The cafe's serene decor of wood, stone and glass is accented by an abundance of greenery and striking modern art. The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience overlooking the Museum of Contemporary Art and dancing majestic fountains. The eclectic menu reflects Los Angeles' diversity, and features a la carte, buffet and alfresco dining influenced by European trained Executive Chef Peter Dean. The trendy Grand Cafe is a mecca for the inhabitants of neighboring high-rises, county administrative offices, courthouses, Music Center and Museum of Contemporary Art visitors.
