Gram and Papas came to life in September 2008 and quickly became an important lunch destination in Downtown Los Angeles. Our philosophy is direct: Use carefully sourced and fresh ingredients to create simple food that tastes and feels good.
Owner Mike Ilic wants you to taste his high-quality food, the majority of which is prepared in the restaurant’s large kitchen — items such as pickled vegetables, house-poached tuna and turkey breast brined nightly.
