Cara Cara at the Downtown L.A. Proper
Everyone is welcome to enjoy the fresh bounty of Cara Cara, from golden daylight to twinkling evening. With her festive and irresistible rooftop fare, Chef Suzanne Goin's seasonal menu highlights California's best produce. An elevated dining area with endless skyline views is surrounded by a lushly landscaped lower lounge in the expansive outdoor space. Sit in one of the many cozy seating areas or by the fire pit and enjoy an innovative cocktail, wine, or beer paired by award-winning sommelier Caroline Styne.
Cara Cara would easily land on their best rooftop bars list with small plates from farm-to-table icon Suzanne Goin, highly focused, yet breezy cocktails, and amazing views of Downtown, if it weren't for one not-insignificant snag: tables take up the majority of its square footage, and they're almost always packed with reservations. Walk-ins are forced to congregate around the fire pit or compete for an open table, transforming this excellent rooftop bar into more of a light-bites lounge. Don't let all the red tape deter you—the views, food, and drinks at this Downtown rooftop restaurant are well worth the effort.
