Nic Adler is on a mission to change the way you think about plant-based food. And he’s doing it with Nic’s, the new restaurant he’s opening Friday with restaurateur Stephane Bombet and chef Steven Fretz.
While the restaurant — housed in the former Ponte space on Beverly Boulevard — has a full plant-based menu, Adler is hoping you won’t really realize it.
“The option wasn’t to get a plant-based chef or a non-plant-based chef,” Adler said. “It was who do I believe can make the best food?” At Nic’s, Fretz and executive chef Ryan Ososky designed a menu that’s meant to evoke memories of childhood and of memorable meals in Los Angeles. “I really didn’t want to name the restaurant after myself,” Adler said. “But I didn’t want to name the restaurant Garden. Nic’s feels familiar, like you might have been there before.”
