Agua Viva is one of the flagship restaurants in Chef José Andrés’s collection at Conrad Los Angeles. At this chic rooftop restaurant, Chef Andrés effortlessly weaves vibrant Asian flavors with Latin American influences, all while paying homage to his home country of Spain.

Our menu features diverse global flavors that reflect the true melting pot of LA. Designed to be shared, our dishes are as eye-catching as they are vibrant, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. As you decompress in our breezy dining room, enjoy sparkling platters of oysters; a bright, refreshing Young Coconut Ceviche studded with avocado and mango; Chef Andrés’s iconic Txule Burger, made with dry-aged ribeye; and whole fried sea bream, with fresh herbs and mojo verde.

Located within Conrad Los Angeles, a part of the stunning Frank Gehry-designed The Grand LA, Agua Viva features a promenade, bar area, and upper and lower dining rooms with terrace views of the mountains.

    Our experience at Agua Viva was exceptional. The drinks we ordered were great. The flavor in all of the dishes we had were top notch, we had no complaints with any of them. They were also all perfect to share. We left very satisfied!

    The ambience of this rooftop oasis was RUINED by a young couple next to us who were baiting each other into fights and blasting videos on their phones at each other. Given we were one of 3 tables on the whole terrace, I would have appreciated better space between diners. Food was special and service was otherwise terrific.

    Agua Bova is the ideal downtown location. We are extremely disappointed they are closing! The other restaurant, San Laurel, is much more expensive and less pleasant. We hope they reconsider this decision!!!!

    The food was incredible as always… the make your own hand roll has some of the best fish in LA, the croquettas as sublime and melt in your mouth, the plantain chips and guacamole are fantastic and the lobster roll is super fresh and tasty… but tonight the service was off. The hostess couldn’t figure out where to seat us… put 2 of us at a table for 6… told us curtly that if we wanted to sit in that section there would be no heater. Right after we sat down, a super nice busboy brought over a heater. Hmmm. Then after the food was delivered all at once, no waiter or waitress showed up again. Someone came around to pour water, but the person who took our order was gone. We hunted someone down for the check. No one ever asked if we wanted more wine… dessert… very odd. I’ve been here many times and this is atypical. But the food was great. The place looks great. I think it was an off night.

    Great ambience and restaurant layout. A haven in DTLA, great service, but as always the food steals the show.
