Breva Restaurant

Nestled inside the beautifully renovated Hotel Figueroa in Downtown LA, Breva brings Basque-inspired flavors to one of the city’s most convenient locations. Just steps from the arena, this stylish hotel restaurant has carved out its niche as the go-to spot for sports fans and downtown professionals looking for quality food and drinks before an event or after a long day at the office.

The kitchen draws inspiration from Spain’s Basque Country, though they’re not afraid to venture off the traditional path. The ham and cheese croquettes are exactly what you’d hope for—crispy on the outside, impossibly creamy within. The fried chicken is a genuine highlight that could hold its own at any dedicated chicken joint. And while it might seem out of place at a Spanish restaurant, the cheeseburger is actually one of the most satisfying things you can order here. When it comes to vegetables, the execution doesn’t quite reach the same heights, so you might want to focus your appetite elsewhere.

The dining room carries that effortlessly cool hotel restaurant vibe—stylish without being stuffy, lively without overwhelming. It’s the kind of place where a casual date night feels special and where you can easily lose track of time over glasses of wine and small plates. The location makes it especially practical if you’re heading to a Lakers game or concert.

Save room for dessert if you can. The sweet endings here genuinely deliver, making for a satisfying conclusion to your meal. While Breva may not be a destination restaurant that demands a cross-town trek, it excels at exactly what it sets out to be: a welcoming neighborhood spot for downtown’s hotel guests and locals alike.
