Ray's & Stark Bar at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art

Ray’s & Stark Bar at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art


Fast fading are the days when museum dining meant formica tables and cafeteria food. We love the sleek and stylish design of Ray’s & Stark Bar at LACMA, designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano. Executive chef Kris Morningstar has created a Mediterranean-inspired, farm-to-table menu, merchant account featuring dishes like hamachi sashimi with aji amarillo vinaigrette and hanger steak with offshore merchant account carrot-caraway purée and cabbage. To see images of these and other dishes, visit our photo gallery.
