Orsa & Winston

The pandemic may have shrunk chef Josef Centeno's Downtown  restaurant empire, but his Italian-Japanese concept Orsa & Winston, has survived the worst crisis the restaurant industry has seen in living history and kept its Michelin star to boot. On the Fourth Street restaurant's $150 tasting menu, expect hyper-creative, genre-bending dishes like scallops and uni in a flower-dotted rice porridge or tempura-like fried shiso leaf under abalone. Across every dish, you'll find lots of L.A. love, global inflection and a deep understanding of balance that make every meal here enjoyable. Even facotring in supplements, it’s still one of the less eye-poppingly expensive fine experiences around town.
