Bavel

Name: Bavel
Telephone: 213-232-4966

Bavel’s Arts District dinner menu is organized around spreads, breads, smaller dishes and larger meat or fish orders. That format helps a table assemble a shared meal, but a single starter’s price does not describe the full dinner budget. The restaurant publishes an employee-wellness charge and an option to request its removal.
