Inside Damian, the New LA Restaurant by Enrique Olvera
Restaurant of the Week: Olvera’s first LA eatery offers the best of California and Mexico on a plate.
By Emma Al-Mousawi | June 9 2021
Enrique Olvera is somewhat of a legend in the culinary world. Credited with elevating the status of authentic Mexican flavors with his famed Mexico City restaurant Pujol – positioned 12th in the World’s Best Restaurants – his latest venture, Damian, garnered a lot of excitement, despite opening mid-pandemic last fall.
A former warehouse in the creative hotbed of downtown Los Angeles’s Art District feels right at home for the newest eatery from the avant-garde Mexican chef. Lauded as the “twin brother” to Cosme, Olvera’s beloved New York restaurant, which itself is ranked 23rd in the World’s Best Restaurants, Damian has a lot to live up to.
