Claudine Artisan Kitchen & Bakeshop was born out of Chef's Anthony & Lea's desire to share their love of cooking in the community they were raised in. The name Claudine is a family tribute to Anthony's sister who lost her battle with cancer, but not before inspiring him to pursue his dream of opening a restaurant. Anthony connected with long time family friend, Chef Lea, and the two decided to partner Lea’s skill in the Bakeshop and Anthony’s prowess behind the stoves in an effort to redefine the culinary landscape in the San Fernando Valley.
