A 'Top Chef' Star Will Open Los Angeles's First Fine Dining Caribbean Restaurant
Briefly

Lucia, a new Caribbean restaurant, is set to open in Spring on Fairfax Avenue, featuring Jamaican-Canadian chef Adrian Forte's innovative Afro-Caribbean menu. Forte, a Top Chef Canada semi-finalist, has a rich culinary background, including private chef duties for celebrities and authorship of a cookbook. The menu will feature contemporary spins on traditional Caribbean dishes, aiming to fill a void in Los Angeles dining that resembles offerings in New York and Miami. Owner Sam Jordan plans to transform the space into a 118-seat venue with unique flavors that celebrate Caribbean diaspora.
