Black-owned Southern elevated in DTLA — Michelin chef's soul food and oyster bar on Grand Ave
Named for the owner's mother whose portrait greets guests at the entrance, Joyce is a proudly Black-owned DTLA restaurant from the Michelin-rated chef behind Preux & Proper. The Southern classics with an elevated coastal twist arrive from a kitchen that genuinely understands soul food: the Nashville hot catfish, cast iron mac and cheese, and cornbread are three of the best versions of these dishes anywhere in Los Angeles. Three portraits of the real Joyce — retired and living well in Atlanta — hang on the dining room walls, and the vibe reflects that warmth entirely.
