About Cara Cara

Watch Cara Cara on TikTok

Cara Cara sits on the 15th floor of the Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel — Kelly Wearstler's design backdrop, 360-degree city views, and a seasonal menu from James Beard Award–winning chef Suzanne Goin. The food is California-focused and lighter than you'd expect from a rooftop: market-driven small plates, grilled seafood, tacos, and shareable bites, all seed-oil-free and built around the best produce of the moment. But the real reason to go is the view — this is arguably the best skyline vantage point you can eat dinner at in all of Downtown LA.
