![]() MKC opened the third location of SESTINA in August at the luxe outdoor Westfield Century City mall. The forthcoming Oleada restaurant follows the opening of SESTINA, another MKC concept that is luring consumers into the mall food court in nearby Century City. Here, the menu will celebrate local California produce and offer meals for all occasions, including weekend brunch to fuel shoppers at the Beverly Center. Oleada will occupy an 8,500-square-foot-space chunk of the mall with an expansive main dining room, bar seating, private dining options, an open-air kitchen, and a patio space with a fireplace. This fall, the concept will open its second location at the Beverly Center, a massive 883,000-square-foot mall that sits on the border of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. The menu features plant-based takes on ceviche, burritos, dairy-free queso, along with larger format plates with a heavy emphasis on vegetables. Oleada is a concept Kenney first opened under his Matthew Kenney Cuisine (MKC) in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 2020, where the dishes are inspired by a wave (or “oleada” in Spanish) of Latin American cuisine. Can exciting vegan options bring new life to these retail centers? Chef Matthew Kenney is betting on it with new upscale restaurants at Los Angeles-area malls. Malls used to be all the rage but have lost much of their appeal with the digitization of shopping. ![]()
