Tasting Menu
"Tonight- it's about you and I".
This one is personal. We designed this tasting menu to show you our life, through our lens and to see how both of our cultures intertwine. It involves both of our memories and feelings. Some are closer to home, some are closer to heart. Let us tell you a story on how we arrived to the city of angels. Another highlight of this story is the ingredients, sourcing from farmers who have just as much heart into what they grow, into how much heart we put on the plate.
With love,
Kevin and Katya

Veranda
The Veranda at VinFolk is a small outdoor patio featuring a completely different menu aside from the tasting menu. To keep the bistro feeling and to feel the ocean air, is to dine with us on the veranda. The Veranda Menu is a small and seasonal A la carte menu offered on our outdoor patio. Something old and new. Something Familiar.
Wine and Cocktails
The wine program focuses primarily on small independent producers, focusing on low intervention and bio-dynamic practices. aside from the wine, VinFolk does offer a small selection of seasonal low-ABV Cocktails. Leading this program is our General manager, Nathan Gallardo, and our Sommelier, Jonah Taylor, ensuring a seamless blend between food and drink. Expect to explore new varietals and cocktails while enjoying either the Tasting Menu or the Veranda.
