Le Chene in Winter

Le Chene French cuisine opened in September 1980 by chef owner Juan Alonso. Through remodeling and expansions Le Chene has grown in size and customer base. Le Chene is a true destination restaurant located only an hour from downtown Los Angeles. Le Chene is located in a secluded oasis called Sleepy Valley, surrounded by centennial oak trees, which is where Le Chene (the oaks) gets its name from. Le Chene is the place to escape from the cities hustle and bustle. The outside of Le Chene has the look of a small castle, made of river rock. Once you open the door the rock motif continues through the entrance then opens to a large bar overlooking the garden and an open patio shaded by oak trees.

Fine Wines

Le Chene Restaurant has been awarded year after year with the Best of Award of Excellence by the Wine Spectator for their wine list. Le Chene is fortunate to possess four underground cellars ideal for storage and aging of fine wines. 32,000 bottles are resting and aging in the cellars waiting to be enjoyed by our customers. Our wine list encompasses over 900 different wines. Most of the wines are from California and France, with a large selection of Bordeaux, Burgundies, Cabernet Sauvignons, Merlots, Zinfandels, California and Oregon Pinot Noirs, Chardonnay's, and many more to choose. Our goal here at Le Chene is to have a bottle of wine that you can enjoy at a reasonable price.
