Enrique Olvera plans LA restaurant

Top Mexican chef Enrique Olvera plans to open an LA outpost of his award-winning New York City restaurant Cosme in 2018.

The chef, who is most famous for his flagship restaurant Pujol in Mexico City, opened Cosme in New York in 2014. It not only entered the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list at number 40 this year but was put on the world map after former President Barack Obama showed up for a surprise visit in September.

Now, chef-owner Enrique Olvera and chef de cuisine Daniela Soto-Innes are planning a second branch in Los Angeles, set to open late next year, according to the World’s 50 Best Restaurants.

A combination of stunningly plated, modern Mexican dishes and a stylish interior with a long bar serving a variety of mezcals have made it a mainstay of Manhattan’s dining scene. Open for brunch, lunch and dinner, Cosme has a range of à la carte menus serving everything from classic huevos rancheros to uni tostadas and sliced raw fish with avocado and black lime. Soto-Innes’s signature dish is the duck carnitas – a sharing skillet of shredded duck with onions, radishes, cilantro and freshly pressed tortillas.
