Bar Avalon from Revelator Coffee Co. in Echo Park is barely tucked away from Sunset Blvd but not hard to find. The restaurant is a collaboration between the famous coffee company Revelator, restauranteur & sommelier Nathaniel Munoz and Chef Guarneri. There’s a lot of natural light coming in through the floor to ceiling windows, a super industrial interior with exposed ceilings, an open kitchen and an overall warm, cozy and comfortable neighborhood vibe. They encourage folks to come and hang out during the day (it’s a great workspace) and take advantage of the house-made scones, pastries and of course the amazing coffee. Chef also makes a rotating fresh jam between 9-3pm.
If I lived closer I would definitely be taking up some real estate with my laptop, noshing on the lunch menu and sipping on creamy cappuccinos all day. Late afternoon and into the night the space turns into a beautiful dim lit restaurant. The southern soul music in the background is a nod to Revelator Coffee. Bar Avalon is considered New American cuisine. Chef Guarneri from NYC with family roots in Sicily puts his own spin on American classics elevating flavors and using herbs from his garden out back. The restaurant focuses on wines from North and South America but if you want to venture outside of that demographic they own the wine store, Eve Bottle Shop next door and there’s a huge curated selection to choose from. YUMMY! A definite must to have on your dining list.
