Executive chef Remi Lauvand brings Authentic French dining and housemade specialties to Le Ka in downtown Los Angeles.

By Christina Xenos

Executive chef Remi Lauvand (Le Cirque, Citrus at Social), conjures exciting French cuisine in a stunning expansive setting downtown. Must-haves are his signature house-made charcuterie selections like chicken “faux gras” with ginger toast, country style pate and duck rillettes; sharable plates like glazed bone marrow with garlic flan, merguez sausage and mussels in a Thai red curry; and entrees like roasted black cod with oxtail ragout, slow-cooked boneless Wagyu beef shortrib, or the 32 oz prime ribeye served over red wine jus with grilled toast and marrow—perfect for sharing. Their hand-crafted cocktail selection also complements the cuisine along with a curated selection of mostly French wines and draught and bottled beers.
