LULU Restaurant LA

Nestled in the tranquil courtyard of the Hammer Museum in Westwood Village, LULU Restaurant LA delivers a fresh take on American cuisine rooted in sustainability. The space balances modern glass walls with reclaimed wood tables, allowing diners to enjoy indoor comfort or the sun‑kissed patio overlooking the museum sculpture garden. Conceived with legendary chef and food activist Alice Waters and opened by acclaimed chef‑author David Tanis, LULU honors the legacy of Provencal cook Lulu Peyraud while championing regenerative agriculture. Each day the kitchen curates a three‑course prix‑fixe menu driven by the market’s freshest produce—think heirloom tomato salad with basil vinaigrette, heritage pork shoulder braised in locally sourced apples, and a seasonal fruit crumble for dessert. A la carte options include sustainably raised steaks, vegetarian grain bowls, and house‑made pastries. The wine bar offers natural wines and creative aperitifs, perfect for an afternoon sip. Open Tuesday‑Saturday from 11:30 am to the last seating at 8:30 pm, and Sundays for lunch (11:30 am‑2 pm) and a mid‑day menu (2 pm‑6 pm). Prices range from $30 for a light lunch to $70 for a full tasting experience. Group dining can accommodate any party size, with private event spaces available on request. Valet and self‑parking are provided in the museum garage. Whether you’re exploring the Hammer Museum or seeking a mindful meal, LULU invites you to celebrate good food that’s good for the planet.
