WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA, –This summer The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills debuted ‘Legend and LVE at The London WeHo Rooftop’ – a brand new dining experience in partnership with LVE Wines by John Legend.
Having launched Thursday, May 30, the hotel’s beloved poolside rooftop has transformed into a restaurant, serving both a la carte and prix-fixe dinner menus daily. From 5:30p.m. – 10:00p.m. each evening, hotel guests and locals alike can enjoy LA’s newest al fresco dining experience, either in a private cabana or a table boasting breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills and city skyline. This marks the first time the modern luxury hotel has hosted a seasonal poolside rooftop dining experience that is open to the public.
“We are always seeking ways to deliver fun experiences to our guests and locals and are excited to bring this new dining experience to life alongside acclaimed musician, TV host, EGOT winner and fellow Angeleno, John Legend and his incredible LVE wines from Napa Valley and France,” said Anthony Keene, Executive Chef of The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills.
Executive Chef Anthony Keene created a John Legend Selections three-course prix-fixe menu with dishes inspired by ‘John’s Favorite Things’ from wife Chrissy Teigen’s cookbook Cravings, paired with a curated wine list of LVE and Boisset favorites. Starter options include BBQ Chicken Pizza; Croquembouche; French Onion Soup Gratinee and Short Rib Ravioli, paired with LVE Chardonnay Carneros & Cabernet Sauvignon.

“I’m thrilled to embark on this partnership with The London West Hollywood at Beverly Hills and LVE,” said Jean-Charles Boisset, proprietor of the Boisset Collection. “In 2015, John Legend and I created the first Legend Vineyard Exclusive wines together and now they are all available to enjoy at this iconic location all summer long with food pairings inspired by some of John’s own recipes. I can’t think of another place I’d rather be to drink LVE.”
Chef Keene also created an a la carte menu with highlights including shared dishes such as Surf and Turf featuring king crab and grilled wagyu and Burrata and Caviar featuring golden osetra caviar; starters to include Charred Octopus Salad with chili lime crunch and Lobster Tortellini with sweet corn and trumpet mushrooms; and mains to include English Pea & Morel Mushroom Risotto; and Whole Branzino with artichokes, lemon, and shaved fennel.
