Mediterranean
Espelette Beverly Hills, created by the Culinary Team of Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, features coastal Mediterranean flavors accented by European influences.

Cultivated in the Southwest Region of France, the Espelette Pepper is delicately infused to compliment the simplicity of fresh ingredients and enhance the complexity of flavors, scents and spices, stimulating the palate with each dish.

Drawing inspiration from neighboring regions such as Italy, Spain, and Greece, the artfully crafted menu is an exquisite ode to the European Coast. Made to share, the seasonally driven menu features farm to table and locally sourced ingredients, highlighting contemporary California flavors and classical French techniques, for a tableside experience meant to inspire conviviality.

    We went to Espelette May 20 It is not for handicapped; the dining room is far from entrance. The music was very loud. The service was terrible. I hand to send my Mojito back twice for extra mint. My yellowtail was salty, lobster was dry & overcooked. They served my husband before me both courses. I had to ask for bread. Lastly, the either gave our car to someone else, of one of valets went for a joy ride & they lied to us about not finding car. DON'T GO!!!!!!

    Food and service was outstanding. We had the John Dory for two and it was very good! Also had the Langoustine and Caesar salad as well as the strawberry tart which were also wonderful! Would definitely return!

    We came back after our last visit to L.A. in October 2022 when we stayed at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and the restaurant was Jean-Georges and we had enjoyed great breakfasts (food and service from Victor and Jaime). This week, we stayed again at Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, and Jean-Georges had just transitioned into Espelette. We were delighted to see Jaime and Victor and the veteran team again during our breakfasts; they are exceptional (and Elvis made sure our coffee was piping hot, as we like it). The American breakfast is excellent: fresh orange juice, La Colombe coffee (we've been fans for 20 years when we lived in Philadelphia, and La Colombe was our regular neighborhood Rittenhouse Square cafe), eggs and excellent roast potatoes/ham/bacon, heirloom potatoes and greens. We look forward to seeing Jaime and Victor again next time we are in town and stay at WA.

    Ate there on their opening night so likely some growing pains. Had the John Dorey with table side service. However it did not come with any sauce initially and about 3/4 of the way through our meal we had to mention that it seemed something was prior to them realizing they had not brought the full order. Also ordered the artichoke which was mostly the exterior leaves and did not have much meat on them. We let the manager know as feedback for the first day but unfortunately nothing was done to correct the error. The fish itself was well cooked and after the sauce was quite delicious. The ambiance was very nice and everyone was otherwise very friendly.

    Excellent food and service. But awful, loud and intrusive music. Servers agreed, said they had told management on several occasions to no avail. I will return later this week. If not remedied that will be my last visit. Fine dining, world class restaurants don’t need music. If management insists, they need calmer, softer and lower volume music.

    Truly an incredible dining experience. From the ambiance and the staff to the thoughtful details in every dish and drink - Espelette is stellar. We started our evening off with the Gazpacho and Yellowtail - both of which are a must-try. My friend who doesn't even like fish LOVED the yellowtail. So fresh and vibrant. For our mains, we tried the Carbonara and Lamb Chops, which were both to die for. We treated ourselves to the Tiramisu and Rhum Baba for dessert which were both devoured within minutes - which is impressive when you see the portions of these treats. Can't wait to come back - huge congratulations to the Chef Steve, Maykel, and the whole team at Waldorf for building such a special experience!

    Amazing experience from start to finish. Menu was a great change from the previous Jean George snore fest. Service was on point and each dish was cooked beautifully. Cocktails were also amazing. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!
