Vespertine

About Vespertine

As a newcomer wandering the foodscape of Los Angeles, stepping into Vespertine felt like entering an otherworldly dining experience that exists somewhere between science fiction and primordial earth. Chef Jordan Kahn has created something that defies categorization—a two-Michelin-star restaurant housed in a wavy obelisk in Culver City where the $395 tasting menu takes diners on a journey through ingredients that date back to the Cambrian Period. What makes Vespertine extraordinary isn't just the bizarre architectural setting or the theatrical presentations—it's how Kahn has evolved his cuisine from futuristic to primordial, using fungi and ancient plants to create dishes that feel like they're channeling the dawn of human civilization while pushing the boundaries of what fine dining can be.
