Caldo Verde

Located in the lobby of the Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel, Caldo Verde is the newest all-day restaurants from A.O.C.'s Suzanne Goin and Caroline Styne. Taking the lion’s share of the hotel’s impeccably designed, Moorish-leaning ground floor, the all-day Caldo Verde melds Spanish and Portuguese flavors with market-driven Californian cuisine. At dinnertime, the end result is an elegant symphony that’ll leave you in anticipation with every passing dish, from the addicting fried sunchokes to the namesake caldo verde: a big-ticket kale, potato and seafood soup that comfortably serves two or three with other small plates. Other highlights: A.O.C.’s rustic boule alongside Portuguese cheese, pillow-tender beef cheeks and a delicious banana tarte tatin.
