Casual to Fine Dining: 6 Restaurants in LA
Dining well in LA restaurants, it's one of the great pleasures of LaLaLand - as well as one of the more stressful things to figure out.
To help, here are six options, from fried-chicken to sandwiches to fine dining, enjoy this handy list and experience a wide variety of cuisines, neighborhoods, design and service.
SPAGO BEVERLY HILLS: Fine dining with a side of Hollywood glam. Wolfgang Puck's original see-and-be-seen Italian hot spot is still chic, elegant and an overall lovely dining experience.
METEORA MELROSE: Creative, immersive Latin cuisine is served up by a professional staff in a very cool space of hanging greenery and intricately woven wood work.
PACE LAUREL CANYON: We love this classic canyon hideaway for its chill vibe, rustic Italian cuisine, and a cozy dining room that has probably seated every star since the 90s.
FANNY'S WILSHIRE MUSEUM DISTRICT: Located in the Museum of the Academy of Motion Pictures, the refreshing American cuisine of Fanny's is served-up in an expansive airy space. Perfect before you view the exhibits, or hit the nearby LACMA and Petersen museums.
LEMONADE DTLA: Located at MOCA, and just across the street from The Broad, is this the bright healthy-food cafe. Lemonade features fresh ingredients, light fare and of course, a huge variety of beautiful lemonades. Perfect for your DTLA museum crawl.
AUGIE'S ON MAIN SANTA MONICA: After a morning of exploring, we stopped to enjoy gourmet chicken sandwiches, salads and fries on the relaxed patio of Augie's - created by Michelin-starred chef and Santa Monica native, Josiah Citrin... was the perfect lunch, then on to Malibu.
