The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel

This isn’t your ordinary hotel nor is it your ordinary hotel restaurant. The hotel lobby is adorned with full size horse statues with heads substituted for lamps and 16th century picture frame portraits of a military leader that gradually transform into baboon a portrait. At the Bazaar, this creativity is applied to food. The salmon roe cones are delicate and delightful – the cone just softly crunches in your mouth. This tapas restaurant also enjoys making well known food items a little bit more unique and mysterious. The Cherry tomatoes, liquid mozzarella dish is delicious and elegant. Wonderful in a top notch restaurant elegant gourmet sort of way. Peeled cherry tomatoes echoed the same texture as the liquid burrata blobs, and both burst with flavor.

And my favorite dish, the cotton candy wrapped foie gras is a combination of sweet and savory that teases your taste buds. After trying 8-10 dishes, you are escorted to another part of the restaurant where you are offered desert. Hmmm… I have never been to a restaurant that gives you two seats for dinner. The deserts were sweet and tasty and are made fresh (of course).

The Bazaar at the SLS Hotel in Hollywood is indeed a treat for the palate as it is for the eyes. Once you've tried both, you’ll want to come back for more.
