With Lielle, Michelin-Starred Swedish Chef Marcus Jernmark Makes His L.A. Mark

Swedish Michelin‑starred chef Marcus Jernmark opens Lielle, his first Los Angeles restaurant, in a 2,300‑sq‑ft subterranean space designed by Lovers Unite. The 42‑seat venue features curved leather loveseats, a barrel‑vaulted cork ceiling, and vintage lighting that evoke a historic wine cave. Jernmark serves a four‑course, $150 California‑inspired tasting menu paired with a rotating wine list of 250‑300 bottles. A casual wine‑bar concept, Marée, will occupy the upstairs area later this year.
