Eater LA has the lowdown on chef Laurent Quenioux’s Bistro LQ, which opened last night at 8009 Beverly Boulevard in the former Mimosa space.
On the decor: “The space is simply painted with white and blue walls, devoid of artwork save for a gaggle of hanging glass bulbs that mark the interior entrance.”
On the food: There’s a “comprehensive” main menu and a separate cheese menu. “Most dishes are available in full or half portions with full-sized appetizers ranging between $9-$18, and entrees from $21-$29…Expect dishes like uni tapioca pudding with yuzu and osyters, ‘oat meal’ with fennel lobster broth and cinnamon roasted lobster, and squab with duck hearts and duck gizzard, just to name a few.”

Bistro LQ is one of the best restaurants in LA. The food is spectacular, the space minimalist. Don’t be put off by the strange melange of ingredients. Chef Laurent Quenioux is a magician (or maybe an alchemist). His ingredients on the menu sound strange, but what comes on your beautifully plated meal is anything but. It is world class! I’ve been there three times in the two weeks it’s been open.

Went a week ago – very unusual pairings : Guacamole appetizer with Ants eggs, oatmeal with lobster, food was very good but BYOB – they don’t have their liquor license yet.

Thanks for the BYOB info, I had no idea!
