Playa Provisions puts Playa del Rey on the Map
When I mention Playa Del Rey, one the most common responses I get is, “Where is that again?” The tiny little beach town nestled between Marina del Rey, Westchester, and the Los Angeles International Airport has been referred to as a “hidden gem” and “the land that time forgot” thanks to its sleepy atmosphere and tiny collection of trek-worthy restaurants, but the recent addition of the restaurant-meets marketplace-meets watering hole, Playa Provisions, might be a sign that “Playa”, as locals call it, won’t stay hidden for long.
Playa Provisions is the third venture for Top Chef runner up Brooke Williams and husband Nick Roberts and brings four separate culinary concepts together under one roof to create an epicurean playground. The venue, which is delightfully beach chic from the menu to the décor, opened in stages beginning with the May 23rd unveiling of King Beach, the deli-style café, and Small Batch, the artisanal ice cream bar replete with house-made Choco Tacos and handcrafted popsicles. Dockside, the full service dining room, opened on June 7, shortly followed by whiskey bar Grain.
So, if you’re still not sure where Playa is, get yourself a map, because with unique culinary venues like Playa Provisions coming to town, your taste buds can’t afford to be out of the loop.
