The Toughest Reservations In LA Right Now (And How To Get Them)
Our thoughts on the most exclusive restaurants in Los Angeles and advice on how to book a table.
Community Goods
Community Goods is a small wood-filled cafe with good drinks and better sandwiches. Expect long lines and lots of influencers.
DiDi
DiDi is a Vietnamese spot in West Hollywood where having a good time is more important than having dinner.
Horses
Horses is a bistro in Hollywood with an anything-is-possible-tonight feel and interesting food that’s kind of French and kind of Californian.
Cobi’s
Cobi’s is a fun Santa Monica dinner spot for natural wine and Southeast Asian curries. Weekend brunch on the patio is also good to know about.
Mars
Mars is a hidden cocktail lounge in Hollywood that wants to be a private members club. It’s mysterious and expensive but ultimately unremarkable. Reservations required.
Lolo Wine Bar
Lolo is a cool East Hollywood bistro that serves decent food, but you're really here to drink wine and have a good time.
Homage Brewing
Homage Brewing is a tap room in Chinatown where you can drink specialty beers and feel on-trend.
Where To Dress Up And Not Feel Stupid
14 LA restaurants where you won’t feel out of place in nice clothes.
The Cafe at Cookbook
Cookbook is a pricey and sceney boutique grocer in Larchmont. It's lovely cafe is the only reason we'd spend over $20 here.
Ahba
Ahba is a house party/restaurant serving Mediterranean-leaning small plates and natural wine in an old beachside cottage. It's also one of our favorite spots to eat in Laguna Beach.
Seabutter Laguna Beach
Hidden on the top floor of a business mall, Seabutter is our favorite spot for fun and decently priced sushi in Laguna Beach.
Where To Eat & Drink On New Year’s Eve In LA
Whether you want to eat a nice dinner or drop it low in the club, here's a list of great ways to ring in 2024.
Cafe Triste
Cafe Triste is a wine bar that doubles as a clubhouse for people who "know the DJ." It's the perfect place to kick off a night in Chinatown.
Fluffy McCloud's
Fluffy McCloud's is a bizarre but fun ice cream shop in Echo Park. Come for a late-night hang if you're already in the area.
Gjelina
When it comes to LA's pizza-pasta-vegetable restaurants, Gjelina in Venice is still at the top of its class.
Dante
Dante Beverly Hills is a rooftop restaurant and bar on top of the Maybourne Hotel. Come when someone else is paying for drinks.
Erewhon Beverly Grove
Erewhon Beverly Grove might be the original, but shopping here is a nightmare we wouldn't wish upon anyone.
Erewhon Venice
The parking at the Venice Erewhon is horrible, but there is a six-foot jerky wall inside.
Erewhon Santa Monica
With bad parking and influencers lurking in every corner, Erewhon Santa Monica is as ridiculous as they come.
Erewhon Studio City
Erewhon Studio City is palatial, but the parking situation leaves a lot to be desired.
