Chef Joachim Splichal and Patina Restaurant Group have opened Maple on the grounds of Descanso Gardens.

Arguably LA’s most beautiful brunch spot yet, nestled inside the gorgeous 160-acre gardens, this restaurant offers weekend brunch, with a seasonal dinner service to follow. Executive chef Mark Salazar offers a menu of American cuisine involved by classic technique, market-fresh produce and subtle Latin inspirations.

Discover an elevated, yet rustic restaurant that is both romantic and family-friendly, featuring exposed wooden beams, a wall decorated with vintage maple syrup buckets filled with leafy garden plants. And on the outside patio, there are grape vines creeping over the brick-lined walls in a space that's surrounded by succulents.

Maple will be open for brunch on Saturdays and Sundays beginning October 1 and will be open for dinner daily from November 25 through January 8, coinciding with “Enchanted: Forest of Light,” an interactive light experience at Descanso Gardens.
