Experience the Best in Hollywood Dining

Cafe Was offers a gourmet menu that is perfect for any fine dining occasion. The dinner and brunch menu includes French inspired bistro fare such as Steak or Moules frites, Onion soup au gratin and Café Was' signature bistro burger topped with prosciutto, brie and a quail egg. Decadent desserts include tart au citron and chocolate soufflé. Café Was' imported and domestic caviar selection will be served simply with crème fraiche and blinis.

With a room steeped in bohemia, where good friends can relax with conversations and debates about life, love, politics and art, the food had to be organic to the vibe. Ivan Kane and Executive Chef Alex Reznik, from Lutece and Paris Casino in Las Vegas, created a classic French Bistro, where traditionally neighborhoods congregate to relax. Cafe Was offers the best gourmet menu to make your Hollywood dining experience perfect and unique in every way.
