Los Angeles is a culinary playground, and these new restaurants are here to prove it! Prepare your taste buds for a journey through the hottest dining spots that will tantalize your senses and ignite debates among food enthusiasts.
The Fashionable Feast:
Monsieur Dior by Dominique Crenn is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. Located atop the iconic House of Dior, this culinary masterpiece offers a lunch menu that seamlessly blends haute couture with haute cuisine. The three-Michelin-starred chef, Dominique Crenn, presents a menu that is nothing short of poetic. Indulge in the Caviar Service, followed by the Black Truffle Agnolotti, and finish with the Guinea Hen Rodeo, a dish that tells a story of flavors. But here's where it gets controversial—is it art or food? You decide!
Spanish Sensations:
Casa Dani brings a taste of Andalusia to Century City. Michelin-recognized chef Dani García has crafted a menu that is a love letter to Spain. From Iberico croquetas to the iconic Seafood Paella, each dish is a celebration of Spanish cuisine. And this is the part most people miss—the Burger That Made it all Make Sense. A humble burger with a twist, it's a must-try on the prix-fixe lunch menu, leaving diners questioning their burger beliefs.
Playful American Classics:
Super Peach, the brainchild of David Chang's Momofuku, is a fun-filled diner with a twist. It takes American classics and adds a Momo/L.A. spin that will make your taste buds dance. Imagine Korean Fried Chicken Wings with a sweet and spicy kick, or fried shrimp inspired by Matsuhisa. But the showstopper? A Super Peach–marinated ribeye that will leave you dreaming of your next visit.
Italian Coastal Elegance:
Marea, the renowned New York seafood temple, has found its new home in Beverly Hills. This power dining spot offers a menu that showcases Italian coastal cuisine with a sophisticated twist. From crudi to bone marrow fusilli, Marea delights with its signature dishes. But it doesn't stop there; local ingredients shine in creations like Dungeness crab pappardelle. The elegant space, adorned with a honey-onyx bar and a blue Murano chandelier, is a work of art in itself.
Live-Fire Magic:
Darling, the creation of Chef Sean Brock, is a live-fire grill house that brings the best of American cuisine to West Hollywood. The menu is a tribute to California's bounty, with ingredients sourced from local markets, farms, and the coast. Every dish is kissed by fire, and the music is as carefully curated as the food. From Grassy Bar oysters to the Dry-Aged Steak Burger, each bite is a symphony. But with only 24 burgers available each night, will you be one of the lucky few?
