4worldlovers: Otoño is a progressive Spanish-inspired restaurant concept exploring tapas and paella beyond tradition and through a modern, urban lens. Our food is influenced by many cultures and artistic expressions while embracing the bounty of California's land and sea produce to curate a unique dining experience for the vast ethnic palate of Los Angeles.

Otoño is a place where innovation and creativity do not stop at the kitchen but spreads through the dining room, creating a holistic approach to service and the guest’s experience. In that regard, the belief that the dining room starts in the kitchen will be deeply rooted in the team philosophy and mission statement delivering a dining experience unlike any other in the city.

Spain is widely recognized for its wine and sherry, however, most do not know the country’s obsession with gin and tonic, or the glory of its wonderfully complex vermouths, or even the brandy used in Jerez to produce its spectacularly unique sherry.


Recognizable Spanish beers will be poured on draft while small batch, craft beers can be enjoyed by the bottle. “Vermut” can be enjoyed from draft or by the glass, on the rocks or neat, and is a perfect opening or close to a meal.

Our wine list will have strong Spanish representation from well-known heavy weights of the region to small, lesser-known up-and-comers, and boutique producers.

On a recent trip to Europe, Chef Montaño sought to explore the many dialects of paella in the Catalan region of Spain including the birthplace of the dish: Valencia. From the celebrated, established institutions practicing traditional techniques to the young, ambitious chefs seeking to revolutionize the experience, the significance and relevance of this dish to Spanish cuisine and culture was deeply felt throughout the region.

It was here, where the intermingling of the Old and New World played out over a rich canvas of cuisine, art, and culture, that the idea for Otoño was set into motion presenting an opportunity for Montaño to further express her devotion to the genre and create something new for the magnificent food city of Los Angeles.
