Amidst the downtown Los Angeles culinary landscape, one can find just about anything but it’s the addition of Louisiana-inspired, Preux & Proper that has set a standard in a saturated market.
Fortunate to know P&P owner, Joshua Kopel, Baton Rouge born Louisianan (who happens to be a thriving entrepreneur, restaurateur, and environmentalist), I brought my friend, New Orleans Chef Ryan Rondeno in with me to do a tasting and hang with Josh to partake in the culinary creations of Chef Sammy Monsour at Preux & Proper. Per as is Josh’s style, the man was dressed to the nines in a gorgeous suit, vest and all, wearing the notorious smile that always makes a visit to his restaurants unforgettable. Josh is a visionary and after having had been invited to his other restaurant, Five O Four in Hollywood back in 2013, getting a look at the new venture (new to me), Preux & Proper, I can say that the restaurant and bar emanate details, thoughtfulness, joy, and of course a menu of food and beverages that are equally on par.
