Meteora

Creative, Contemporary · ★ Michelin

$$$$

This whimsical, immersive space is a touch otherworldly, with its tangled greenery, moody lighting, and trance-y soundtrack, but guests will be happy to fall under its spell when they taste Chef Jordan Kahn’s singular cuisine. Primal live-fire cooking combines with a zero-waste ethos and a treasure trove of sustainably sourced wild and organic ingredients to create dishes that are as memorable as they are delicious. Charred yam with a buttery sauce accented with smoked trout roe and grilled hazelnuts is more than the sum of its parts, and a dish of honey-grilled Sue Buxton scallops is sided by

Osteria Mozza

Italian · ★ Michelin

$$$$

A perennial hit since opening (expect a wait), this decade-old darling continues to please with creative cocktails and Italian cuisine. The décor veers from typical osteria-style, thanks to handsome dark-wood paneling and a white marble counter but nab a seat at the Mozza bar for a prime view of the antipasti preparation.Bread is something of an obsession here, as is the mozzarella menu. Chef Nancy Silverton's team strives to show you around the corners of Italian cooking, The crispy chicken leg is pure and simple comfort food, and pastas are unsurprisingly phenomenal—try the orecchiette with

Providence

french · ★★★ Michelin

$$$$

As has been the case since opening in 2005, purity and precision are the underpinnings of Chef Michael Cimarusti's California cooking, and his cuisine has grown even more impressive over the years. The tasting menu blends global inspiration and classic technique with a modern sensibility, and sources the freshest and most sustainable seafood, often wild-caught from American waters. At no point during the meal will you doubt its impeccable quality, especially while savoring dishes such as a tart of lobster mousse and box crab set in a crab beurre blanc, or roasted monkfish with cauliflower and

Steakhouse, American · ★ Michelin

$$$$

During the day, this attractive butcher shop sells humanely raised meats from local partner farms. At night, the glowing dining room comes alive, showcasing the same upscale cuts prepared with panache in a room that conjures Art Deco glamour with crystal chandeliers and a roaring fireplace. The menu, meanwhile, offers something for everyone. Start with house-made charcuterie or perhaps smoked beets with leek ash yogurt before picking up the pace with heartier courses like pastas (lobster ravioli with confit leeks) and wood-fire grilled steaks. A seat at the chef’s counter offers a prime vantag

Jon & Vinny’s

Italian-American · Bib

Jon Shook and Vinny Dotolo opened the original location of this easygoing Italian-American café in 2015, and it’s been busy-busy ever since. The slender room is soaked in sun thanks to the skylights and features a long counter that stretches the length of the open kitchen. The team works the wood-fired grill and blazing oven with ease, the servers are on point, and even after all these years, the food is as charming as ever. There are plenty of pizzas, all of them with lightly charred edges and topped with everything from smoked ham to vodka sauce. But don’t slouch on the rest of the menu, lik

Pizzeria Mozza

Pizza, Italian · Bib

How many pizzerias can claim this kind of track record? Open since 2006, Mozza is so much more than a mere neighborhood haunt. Co-owner Nancy Silverton rules this corner of Melrose Avenue with several restaurants, and this longstanding hotspot boasts a sunny-yellow exterior and orange canopy for a Mediterranean scene. Donning bare wood tables and skylights, the dining room is casual in look, but from the salads to the pizzas, one will find proper care and sourcing. Pizzas topped with the likes of leeks and lemon zest or mozzarella and Fresno chiles land with puffy, golden edges. Not to be miss

Kali

Steakhouse, Californian · ★ Michelin

$$$$

Everything old is new again at Chef/owner Kevin Meehan's Kali, which has been reimagined as a classic Hollywood steakhouse. The dining room, split in two with a full-service bar and a luxe dining room behind a red curtain, gets all the details right (think lipstick red carpeting and cushioned seating). The menu begins with tried-and-true favorites like beef tartare or mushroom risotto, but the centerpiece is certainly their Creekstone Farms steak. Of course, there must be potatoes (get the a'la loaded that's baked and fried to order). Desserts also lean traditional, as in crème brûlée or a sea

Somni

Contemporary, Spanish · ★★★ Michelin

$$$$

Chef Aitor Zabala and his dedicated team have awakened Somni, Catalan for "dream," from a long sleep and have fashioned this revamped iteration as a distinctly personal and unique dining experience. Tucked away just off Santa Monica Avenue, the dining room's soothing, creamy palette with light wood and glass is marked by a colorful bull's head from the original spot, hinting at the Spanish-inflected cuisine. A procession of small bites is meticulously arranged and endlessly creative, sating diners with an abundance of rich flavors and textural interplay (think mussel escabeche, gazpacho, or th
