What People Are Saying About The Bazaar by Jose Andres
Featured Review

Don't get confused--before you head into this place, just know that it's all the Bazaar by Jose Andres. And in case you don't know who he is, he's the big-time Spanish chef who's practically owned the Washington DC dining scene for years. True to its name, the sprawling space is indeed like an indoor marketplace (maze?) where the trendy, spendy and sceney descend to dine on creative tapas and drink fancy cocktails. A duo of dining rooms--Rojo is the red-hued portion with its own "jamon and cheese" bar replete with life-size black-and-white photos of matadors, while Blanca is the more modern…
Editor's Tips
- The Extras:
- The Bazaar also features street-style "vendor carts" where chefs will whip up such unusual edibles as foie gras wrapped in cotton candy.
- Know Before You Go:
- Bar Centro stays open later than the other dining areas.

I love this place!
by LAshopaholic
I have been here a couple of times now and it has been great both times!
The drinks are slightly pricey, but they are worth it! The liquid nitrogen caipirinha is my favorite, but I also love the Jale Berry (pronounced ‘Halle Berry’ it’s a cute play on words for this blackberry martini with a jalapeno finish).
The servers that we’ve had have been extremely knowledgeable & attentive on both occasions, doing a fantastic job of walking us through the experience, making recommendations, offering more drinks, etc. There are so many people working here! It seems like a different person brings each dish to the table, but they always describe what it is as they deliver it. This last time I was slightly disappointed with the busboy that we had, he was just a little gruff and didn’t do as good a job at clearing the empty plates and keeping our waters refilled (but they did bring us clean sharing plates a couple of times, and it was a busy Friday night).
OK, most importantly: the food! Absolutely incredible! Stand-out favorites: philly cheese steak (must have!), caprese with ‘mozzarella spheres’, caviar steamed buns, Norwegian lobster, garlic shrimp, veal (server explained that it is a free-range veal that stays with it’s mother in pasture and is not given antibiotics or hormones). I was disappointed not to be able to get 2 my two favorite dishes on my second visit because they are not currently in season: the truffle rice and the baby corn on the cob (a-mazing!). I will definitely ask for these dishes each time I come, hoping that I am there at the right time.
The dessert room is not to be missed! Seems a little strange at first to move for dessert, but it’s a nice change atmosphere & a good chance to see the unique items in the ‘gift shop’ adjacent. I’ll be getting the chocolate lava cake and the edible paper caramel every time I come.
I can’t wait to bring my brother here next month when he comes to visit- he lives in NY and has been less than impressed by LA restaurants in the past. I think The Bazaar might actually live up to his high standards (I’ll let you know).
PS While I didn't see any celebs while I was there, a friend of mine said she was here last week and saw Gordon Ramsey dining with David & Victoria Beckham and Eva Longoria!
Caution! - Petty theft is thriving here!!
by Russian Scorpion
I actually used to enjoy coming here mostly for great food. Until the
night my purse was stolen from my table, by someone who was sitting
next to us with his group of friends. The security camera was right
above us. However, management refused to show me the tape, call the
police asap and try to track this person down via the credit card that
his table paid with. They were uncooperative and plainly uninterested
in resolving this issue and in helping me getting my property back --
my phone with all my contacts, different ID's, some cash and the keys
to my place. you can imagine of time and money I now have to spend to
try and renew all those things, however most of the business contacts
and information are forever lost. In 30-40 minutes after my property
was stolen I was forced to raise my voice several times to try to get
their attention, BEGGING them to call the police so the report can be
made and show me the tape from the camera. Well, guess what? They did
call cops, but on ME!! What????!!! Are you kidding me?! I'm the victim
here, not the criminal!!! In all this time they could have already
gotten this guys info from his or his friends payment info -- it was a
table of 4 or 5 guys not just one guy, call the police, make the
report and maybe help young girl who now has to break her door down or
at least call a locksmith for me, I mean something, right? But, I keep
forgetting that in the REAL world things are not so simple. So at the
end I did get that yellow paper that's called a "police report" in
which the following was written -- Suspect has taken the property and
fled into unknown direction... I guess folks, that's all I will ever
hear.. oh and I was told I was not allowed on premises anymore. I was
what?? Outraged?! You damn right I was! Wouldn't you be? and I guess I
should frame this yellow "glory paper" so it can remind me of the
"Protect and to serve" bitter sweet sentence.
Anyway, guys enjoy the food and hold on to your bags and your "rights"
, but you have to be aware of the fact that the second thing that
you're holding on to so tightly is only an illusion...
Bon Appetit!
So-so food
by Jennifer308
I give this place a big 'ehhhhhhh'. I ordered the chef's tasting menu and it was so mediocre that I would not return. The atmosphere was great - but not worth the wait! Very overpriced as well.
A for originality, B for food, B- for service
by cmoreno
I had high expectations for Bazaar all around given the difficulty getting a reservation (tip: it helps A LOT if someone in your party is staying there), the general buzz and the mob of hipsters occupying the lobby, which feeds into the bar area.
As a lover of Spanish tapas, I was impressed by the unique mix of traditional and (for lack of a better term) new age small plate offerings. The traditional were spot on - Iberian ham, manchego cheese with sweet marmalade, garlic prawns - delish. The new age items were inspired in substance, but fell short on taste - yellow tail and jalepano sashimi atop wedge of watermelon and truffle risotto. Sound amazing, but for me, failed to either have the right amount of each ingredient or in the case of risotto tasted like the two other truffle risottos I've eaten before - nothing special this time.
I do have to acknowledge the service staff for being cordial and resisting the "you are so lucky to be here that I can't be bothered with your order" aura that often accompanies hip establishments. That being said, they seemed to forget a lot of things we requested...namely a wine list (25 minutes and 3 asks), the second half of our order (30 minute lag and 3 asks), one person's drink that didn't come out with everyone else's at our table (15 mins and 1 ask).
Is it the best meal and experience I've had? No Would I go there again? For sure. It's fun, hip and the food is innovative.
