A first look at Dante's new California outpost featuring a celery paloma and idyllic rooftop.
It’s always a good idea to get a rooftop drink in Los Angeles—a city that, on average, has 275 days of sunshine per year and cinematic views that stretch from the Santa Monica Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. But it’s aidea to get a drink at Dante, the new ninth-floor bar at the Maybourne Beverly Hills that opens this July.the number one bar in the world
in 2019. Yet co-owners Linden Pride and Natalie Hudson have long had their sights set on an outpost in the city of Angels. For starters, California boasts a similar climate as their native Australia, where they started their hospitality career. Second, California offers the best local produce in the United States. Access to fresh quality ingredients and an abundance of sunshine? It was a culinary dream come true.
For the food, freshly caught seafood abounds. Their Californian Salad comes with pickled onions, cucumber, grilledchilled shrimp, avocado, and red wine, whereas the grouper ceviche embraces caper leaves, Calabrian chili, citrus, and olive oil. Then there’s the Fregola ai Frutti di Mare with Baja shrimp, scallops, and calamari. The interior, overseen by creative director Hudson, features Pacific Ocean blue banquettes as well as a fresco by Abel Macias.
Perhaps the most striking visual element, however, is the outdoor terrace, which boasts a sprawling view of the city and the Hollywood Hills beyond. At sunset, the room is bathed in a dusty pink glow, while at night, the city lights almost make the room twinkle. “We wanted it to have an al fresco feel—to effortlessly have the indoors as an extension of the outdoors,” says Pride.
