Somni, meaning “dream” in Catalan, is a celebrated fine dining restaurant in Los Angeles, originally launched in 2018 at the SLS Hotel, earning two Michelin stars. Led by Chef Aitor Zabala, a protégé of Ferran Adrià, it reopened in 2024 in West Hollywood with a 14-seat intimate counter. Somni offers a 20-course modernist Spanish tasting menu, blending avant-garde techniques with seasonal Californian ingredients. The restaurant is still refining its offerings—Chef Aitor had to replace an old Oregon cow dish with Wagyu due to guest feedback about chewiness. While some dishes are not yet at the highest standard, the restaurant shows great potential. I can see it earning two stars, maybe not this year, but certainly in the coming years.
