Chez Mia
Inspired by the south of France the nearly three-year project originally called Lalou opened in partnership with entrepreneur Kurt Seidensticker who founded Vital Proteins. Boujis Group the hospitality group behind restaurants the Draycott and Olivetta brought on its culinary director Ivo Filho to lead the kitchen. With 220 seats set across one of LA’s best new patios and a colorful interior Chez Mia follows the Hermers’ see-and-be-seen formula with high-quality ingredients, sharp cooking, and easy cocktails to match attentive service.
Those entering the space will likely get directed to a banquette along the sprawling, lush patio lined with foliage, covered by massive square umbrellas, and patterned upholstery. When the sun sets, the space has a secret garden energy, with catchy neo-disco and pop tunes piping through the various sections.
