California Dreaming? With campuses in Pasadena and Hollywood, attending Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Los Angeles means experiencing the best the west coast has to offer. Live in ideal weather near the Pacific Ocean and enjoy the environment's endless recreational opportunities. Surf in the morning and hike in the afternoon—without leaving the city limits.
Both locations are a short distance from downtown Los Angeles, and offer easy access to Southern California's innovative dining scene. A city as diverse as LA, poised on the Pacific Rim, provides a crossroads of cultures and cuisines. That's why you'll have nearly 500 restaurants to choose from, as well as exciting shopping, nightlife, music venues, pop culture attractions, world-class museums, and performing arts centers. A new Metro system makes it easy to get around town and links the communities of Los Angeles, from San Diego to Santa Barbara.


In Pasadena, known as 'the city that feels like a village,' you'll enjoy an artistic community with a small-town feeling in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. Check out Pasadena's signature events, such as the Rose Bowl, or explore historic architecture and the Mission District. In Hollywood, a tremendous revitalization effort combines the legendary attractions of the area's movie industry past and the Sunset Strip with new lofts, condo conversions, and cutting-edge retailers.
