Whole Beast at Barlo Restaurant

If you are visiting LA for the holidays and heading to Venice Beach, then make sure you check out the Hotel Erwin and Barlo Kitchen and Cocktails.

Although I might not have ventured into this Boutique Hotel on my own, this little gem of space features an outside space for Brunch and Cocktails, a restaurant that feels like it was plucked from the West Village, and the only area Hotel with a panorama view of the Westside.

Here is the best of Barlo—including the whole Beast!

Warning: Executive Chef Adam Steudle has created a menu that is not for the faint of heart. You will see whole heads and pickled feet…but you might surprise yourself at how much you like feeling like a Viking!

Cocktails

Garden of Venice-Refreshing Vodka drink with fresh basil and St. Germain

Bar Snacks, Greens, and Small Plates

Barlo “deviled” eggs and K-Town Pig Wings –This was my first time having pig tail, but other than the mess I was pleasantly surprised!

House Pickled Salad

Truffled Macaroni & Cheese-No description necessary…worth being fat for.

Whole Beasts

Roasted Hog’s Head-This is a specialty of Barlo that requires 72 hours notice and at least 4 in your party. It was complemented nicely by a Thai chili sauce

Z’atar Goat Leg (not pictured)-Unfortunately this was my first time having goat leg, and the first time I discovered I do not like goat leg. It’s perfect for the person who’s looking for a lean alternative to pig tails though 🙂

Dessert

LN2 Popcorn- caramel corn made with liquid nitrogen for a melt in your mouth science project!
