Put it in your calendar! On June 1st, we’re kicking off our winemaker dinner series with one of our favorite winemakers from the Sonoma Coast: Eric Sussman, owner, winegrower, and founder of @radiocoteau .
His wines will be paired with our seasonal four-course menu, and tickets will be released tomorrow, May 18th, on OpenTable. #liellela #lesenfantsdelacôte
Marcus Jernmark helped earn three Michelin stars at Frantzén, led kitchens at Per Se and Aquavit, and now he’s bringing his Nordic-Californian vision to Los Angeles with Lielle in Pico-Robertson.
Think fermented seasonal ingredients, California produce, eclectic music and a fine dining experience designed to feel warm instead of stiff.

We couldn’t be happier to kick off our four-hands dinner collaboration series with chef @sotaatsumi . It’s an honor to welcome him and his team into our kitchen on May 11th.
Chef @marcus.jernmark first met chef Sōta Atsumi while dining at Clown Bar in 2017, where Sōta-san was the head chef at the time. Marcus has followed his culinary journey ever since, and most recently dined at his Tokyo pop-up in 2024.
Chef Sōta-san is especially known for his wood-fire and meticulous cooking with exceptional seasonal produce. His cuisine blends refined French techniques with subtle Japanese influences that highlight umami flavors.

From lost to leading others.
Marcus Jernmark reflects on the early days when he was confused, overlooked, figuring it out the long
way.
But in that chaos came clarity: realizing the impact a chef has on people goes far beyond the plate.
This is where leadership begins, owning not just the craft, but the responsibility to guide, mentor, and show up better for those around you.

This season in California is absolutely magical. Back home in Sweden, we crave the soil to wake up and provide us with all kinds of life—herbs, flowers, potatoes, you name it. Back home, spring is all about vibrancy, but here, the earthiness combines with that vibrancy, making this season even more dynamic. Spring brings porcini, morels, and all kinds of wild edibles, while elderflower is starting to bloom. It’s just an incredible toolbox with endless opportunities. #lesenfantsdelacôte #liellela
Fine dining, no pressure. 🍽️
Marcus Jernmark is creating something different at Lielle, elevated food without the ego. Come for the craft, stay for the vibe. It’s thoughtful, it’s personal, and it feels like a place you could return to any day of the week.

You don’t need it all figured out.
Marcus Jernmark keeps it real, growth isn’t just about grinding, it’s about living too.
Be ambitious, work hard, but don’t skip the part where you actually enjoy your life. That balance? That’s where real leadership starts.

In just two more weeks, we will transition from our second menu to one that beautifully segues into spring. Our third menu is currently under construction, and I can assure you that we won’t be holding back on celebrating the essence of spring ❤️.
Lamb will be a featured protein for us in April and May. I will elaborate more on where and how we sourced our lamb, as well as what they were doing before we honored their lives by celebrating with them at @lielle.la .
The dish will likely include an aromatic jus infused with loads of white pepper and salted citrus, along with fava bean “Maro,” Oregon morels, ramps, almond miso, and a sausage made from sweetbreads, dried cep, aged shoulder, and fortified wine. #lesenfantsdelacôte
