Acclaimed Restaurant Alma Returns For 3-Month Residency In West Hollywood
Alma, the award-winning and beloved, yet recently closed downtown Los Angeles dining hotspot, will return for a three-month residency starting next week.
Beginning on Dec. 8, chef Ari Taymor and his partner Ashleigh Parsons will bring Alma's celebrated market-driven and beautifully plated dishes to the Standard Hollywood in West Hollywood, reports the L.A. Times. The three-month residency will offer fans and newcomers a chance to enjoy Alma's signature plates—including hay-roasted potato with goat's milk and lovage and frozen duck liver with granola and carrots—along with some new twists. And unlike the prix fixe tasting menu of the restaurant's previous incarnation, this time around the farm-to-table meals will be served a la carte. "Our goal is to be accessible," Taymor tells the Times.
The young chef says he will be bringing his Alma team from both the front and back of house to the trendy hotel on Sunset Boulevard. But there's no word yet about plans for a permanent home for Alma once the residency is over, though Taymor says they're open to the idea of a new restaurant.
Alma's residency at the Standard Hollywood will run seven days a week from Dec. 8 through February, serving Sunday to Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday from 5:30 p.m. to midnight.

"The food will be very much Alma," Taymor told the Times. "We're stoked to be able to cook again."
The Standard Hollywood is located at 8300 Sunset Blvd. in West Hollywood, (323) 822-3131.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced.
