The newly opened Sous Sous is bringing a distinctly unexpected dining experience to Silver Lake, tucked inside the former sanctuary of a 1931 Romanesque church.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Located at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hotellucile.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"shortcode-outbound-link\" data-has-ga=\"true\" data-ga-type=\"click\" data-label=\"https:\/\/www.hotellucile.com\/\" data-action=\"text_cta_0\" data-category=\"click_non_sales\">Hotel Lucile<\/a>, the new restaurant officially opened on September 14th after years of work transforming the historic property. The former church and rectory now house a 25-room boutique hotel, with the original architecture still playing a starring role.<\/p>\n<p>Southern France meets the American South<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sous Sous comes from the team behind De La Nonna, with chef Patrick Costa at the helm. The menu combines the flavors of Southern France and the American South, with a particular emphasis on seafood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect a seafood-focused menu featuring fresh catches, a raw bar, seasonal vegetables and dishes that blend French culinary traditions with Southern flavors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then there\u2019s the setting. The restaurant occupies the church\u2019s former sanctuary, where soaring ceilings, stained-glass windows and historic architectural details create a dramatic backdrop for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>A new chapter for a Silver Lake landmark<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sous Sous is part of Hotel Lucile, a new boutique hotel inspired by Silver Lake\u2019s history of art, architecture and creative reinvention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The property has transformed the longtime church and rectory into a neighborhood gathering place with a restaurant, bar, caf\u00e9 and spaces for cultural events. The hotel also hosts programming including Sunday brunches, artist residencies and other community events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re there for the seafood, the cocktails or simply want to dine beneath the stained glass of a 1931 church, Sous Sous is giving Silver Lake a seriously memorable new place to eat.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udccd Location: Sous Sous at Hotel Lucile (1629 Griffith Park Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90026)<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd50 Hours:<br \/>Sunday\u2013Thursday: 5\u20139 p.m.<br \/>Friday\u2013Saturday: 5\u201310 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Los Angeles has plenty of stunning restaurants, but how many can say they\u2019re inside a nearly century-old church?&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471136,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[413,48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-471135","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-food","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471135","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=471135"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471135\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471136"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471135"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471135"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471135"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
