The Kitchen at Descanso Gardens

The Kitchen at Descanso Gardens underwent a massive revamp, which means the sprawling and iconic botanical gardens have a new all-day café to check out. The new, more global menu takes its cues from the nature that surrounds it, which means cauliflower al pastor tacos; a tarragon-aioli–topped burger; and produce-packed cocktails. It's all thanks to a collab between Pasadena boutique catering group The Kitchen for Exploring Foods and Patina Restaurant Group.
