Chef Laurent Quenioux has been known for his culinary expertise throughout many well-known restaurants and eateries, from growing up in Sologne, France to becoming owner/executive chef at Bistro LQ. Prior to his success of opening his very own bistro, Laurent helped to open the Regency Club in Los Angeles along with a group from L’Oasis at La Napoule. Even with the success of the Regency Club, Laurent went on to establish the award-winning 7th Street Bistro in downtown Los Angeles, but after a decade 7th Bistro closed due to subway construction. Laurent continued his journey through the finest kitchens by landing a position as Food and Beverage Director/Executive Chef for Dodgers Stadium. Also, in 2009 Laurent dived back into the bistro business by opening Bistro LQ in Los Angeles, serving up a revolutionary menu, but that was short lived when LQ decided to close the doors in 2011 for a sabbatical.
Laurent has since collaborated with Starry Kitchen in downtown Los Angeles, showed his skills at Vertical Wine Bistro in Pasadena, California and worked for Private Clientele as a Chef Consultant, but recently LQ has landed a spot at Barney Greengrass at the top of Barney’s on Wilshire. The chef will be serving up a prix fixe dinner from July 8 to July 10. The mouth-watering dinner will cost $50 which includes self parking. Unfortunately, valet parking, beverages, tax and tip are excluded. Wine pairing with selection by Jill Bernheimer from “Hollywood wine shop Domaine LA” is an additional $25, but full bar will be available with the choice of individual wines, hot teas and coffees. As of now, July 8 is completely sold out, leaving the other days between 6:30pm and 9pm available. Reservations must be made through Quenioux’s website.
