Avra Los Angeles

Avra is on North Beverly Drive. You will find it a ten-minute walk from the boutiques of Rodeo Drive.

The kitchen focuses on Greek and Mediterranean seafood, served in a room that runs smart and elegant. While the area is synonymous with high-stakes window shopping, this venue is a better choice than the neighboring hotel bistros if you prefer a bright, open floor plan over dark booths. Most restaurants in the immediate vicinity lean into heavy interiors, but Avra’s design feels lighter, making it the right stop for a long lunch that doesn’t demand the formality found elsewhere on the block.
