Missenscène

There are new restaurants and bars popping up all over downtown, but I’m thrilled to announce two relatively new neighbors: KTCHN 105, and Villains Tavern.

I haven’t been to either restaurant yet, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about both places.

KTCHN 105 is located here:

“Beyond cooking, our studio kitchen at KTCHN 105 was designed for learning, entertaining, and coming together for the appreciation of food. Located in the the heart of the Produce District of Downtown Los Angeles, our studio kitchen offers catering, private tastings, specialized cooking classes, private dinner parties and creative culinary energy. “

They Also offer Sunday Brunch:

Some of the yummy offerings include: sun-dried tomato scramble, Corn Meal Waffle Pear BLT and Basil Cured Salmon Lox with Toast Baguette.

Next up:Villain’s Tavern

The folks who brought you Bordello and 4100, are now bringing you this amazing place.  I really want to go to look at the design of the space, which supposedly includes: ” church pews on the outside patios, an antique bar that used to reside in an 1880s-era New York City tavern, and a Gothic church window behind the bar.”*

According to the yelp reviews, food includes: burgers, grilled cheese and Parmesan fries. And, there are a ton of beers on tap including: Chimay,  Deschutes Porter, and Racer 5. The most popular drink is the combo: $8 gets you a mason jar of one of 20 beers, ales, lagers or ciders on tap and a test tube shot full of hard liquor on the side. What a deal?!

Here are some more shots of Villains (thanks yelpers!):
