About Meteora

Meteora is a holistic culinary concept rooted in gastronomy, hospitality, art, design, and sound. The cuisine combines ancient, primordial cooking methods with modern technique, centered around meticulously sourced ingredients prepared over live fire and expressed through their elemental forms — leaf, root, stem, seed, shell, flesh, and bone.

Our tasting menu evolves constantly, guided by seasonality, research, and a commitment to creating meaningful guest experiences. Meteora is part of Sprout LA.
