36 Granada is a unique culinary combination of two great restaurants set to serve our local community and our vibrant visitor base. Our guests can enjoy a variety of experiences under one roof. Our dining rooms offer either top-rated French-Mediterranean cuisine or authentic homemade Vietnamese and are joined by a stylish common bar.
The property features more hospitality experiences beyond the restaurants. La Petite Kitchen is a chef-driven cooking class studio and private dining room. Cache Cache is a secluded bar and event space. These spaces are open daily, great for groups, and are fun compliments to the restaurants. We are looking forward to sharing each of our unique experiences soon at 36 Granada.
