Michelin-recognized French-Asian in the Arts District — steak frites, bay scallop ravioli, and the best rigatoni in DTLA
Camphor is one of the most exciting restaurants to open in Los Angeles in recent years — a Michelin-recognized Arts District room where chefs Max Boonthanakit and Lijo George apply French technique with South Asian spice sensibility and the result is food that feels genuinely new. The steak frites are a benchmark, the bay scallop ravioli in brown butter is delicate and rich in the same bite, and the rigatoni with braised artichoke and aged Comté has built a devoted following since opening. The room is warm and design-forward without being precious about it, and the wine list navigates natural and conventional producers with equal conviction. One of the best reasons to eat in the Arts District.
