Restaurants
LACMA has four on-campus dining options, all run by the Patina Restaurant Group. With grab-and-go salads at the LACMA Cafe, lattes at C+M (Coffee + Mlik), gourmet farm-to-table cuisine at Ray's, and much more, there's something for everyone. In addition to their standard fare, the restaurants often offer unique food events in conjunction with exhibitions, programs, and special events. From pop-up dinners to specialty menus, these events are a great way to add to any museum visit.
Ray's
Ray’s has been hailed by Esquire as “One of the best new restaurants of 2011” and by the Los Angeles Times as “a feast for the senses.” The Mediterranean-inspired menu includes dishes from the restaurant’s wood-burning oven and grill, with an emphasis on farm-to-table, seasonal fare from executive chef Kris Morningstar. To drink: seasonal cocktails, a California-centric wine list, and artisan beers and spirits. PLEASE NOTE: Ray's will be closed for a private event Sunday, June 23 and Monday, June 24, beginning at 3 pm.
