Pete’s Cafe, the first restaurant to come to the Historic Core in decades when it opened its doors in 2002, now prepares to for a refresh thanks to new partnership with famed local chef and restauranteur Josef Centeno. Chef and owner of Bäco Mercat, Bar Amá, and Orsa & Winston, Centeno further expands his Downtown restaurant empire with a revised take on Pete’s on the corner of 4th & Main Streets. The establishment will continue to be an anchor of all-day dining and will expand to feature a world-class bakery and private event space.
A local Historic Core resident, Centeno has seen tremendous success with his first three restaurants, all in developer Tom Gilmore’s Old Bank District properties. His most recent addition, Orsa & Winston, has brought major fine dining attention to the area. Earlier this year, O&W was ranked #11 in LA food critic Jonathan Gold’s favorite restaurants in Los Angeles and Bon Appetit recently named it amongst the 50 best new restaurants in America.
Pete’s will temporarily close the week of August 25th for renovations and will re-open as the new Pete’s Cafe in early October.
