L.A. Farm Description:
Stefan Richter won the bulk of the challenges on his season of Bravo's "Top Chef," and now with his first restaurant he's taking on an even more competitive playing field---the Los Angeles dining scene. The former L.A. Farm space has been transformed into a contemporary setting furnished with Italian-made furniture and white marble tables, with a patio featuring dramatic fire pits and leather banquettes. A native of Finland, chef Richter was raised in Germany and has honed his skills in kitchens around the world. His inventive cuisine draws upon this international background, but also incorporates fresh California ingredients into dishes such as his salad of red and gold beets from the farmers market with goat cheese mousse and mesclun. Diners can sample small plates like Thai lobster bisque with coconut milk and lemon grass before diving into main dishes that might range from mini mushroom ravioli with foie gras and black truffles to braised beef cheeks with farrotto and arugula to pan roasted whitefish with lentil parsnip ragoût, baby spinach and extra virgin olive oil. Desserts might include Buchteln (sweet dumplings) with pecan maple ice cream.
