• Rocio's Mexican KitchenBib Mexican restaurants are lucky if they can pull off one good mole. Chef Rocio Camacho goes above and beyond with far more at this humble Bell Gardens outpost that has little in the way of décor. From the dark-as-night Oaxaqueno to the spicy-sweet manchamanteles to the vibrant verde, moles here are layered, sophisticated efforts that come paired with your choice of chicken, fish, shrimp, steak or even a massive chile relleno. On a menu that covers a lot of territory, stick to this signature dish, which arrives overly generous in size. Otherwise, a warm basket of chips laced with a handful of sau2.5km
• Hayato★★ Michelin With only one seating per night, this exclusive destination is a treat for a mere handful of lucky diners. Indeed, securing a reservation is no small feat, but the reward is a culinary spectacle with few equals. All eyes are on Chef Brandon Hayato Go, who handles and arranges every ingredient with care and explains every course in great detail. Seasonality is everything, as thoughtfully sourced ingredients are sliced, fried, grilled or steamed to exacting standards. The likes of abalone, snow crab, onions and corn are presented on prized Japanese pottery and porcelain collected by the chef him9.1km
• Kato★ Michelin Chef Jonathan Yao has found a grand stage in this cool enclave of polished concrete in the Row DTLA. Here, he and his team have worked diligently to hone an inspired tasting menu, drawing deftly from his Taiwanese background and LA upbringing, threading a path between boldness with refinement. Gently cooked Mt. Lassen trout is bathed in a vibrant, complex fish broth bolstered with fermented Napa cabbage tingling spice, while crisp-skinned Peking-style duck breast is matched with a sesame ball filled with juicy confit and a rich jus flavored with citrusy magao pepper, at once comforting and exc8.7km
• Camphor★ Michelin This popular spot hums with activity from eager diners and a bustling open kitchen. Headed by the talented Chef Max Boonthanakit and team, Camphor plates seriously good French fare with a sprinkling of creative flair. Inventive cocktails, including the refreshing Rue de Baci, complete the experience. Sea bream crudo with green apple ice and horseradish cream offers a fresh, aromatic opener before a main course like scallop demi-lune pasta in truffle-chive beurre blanc. Bistro classics like steak au poivre with Cognac cream (best accompanied by golden brown frites) remain central to the menu. A9.9km
• 715★ Michelin Chef Seigo Tamura's 715 doesn't offer the typical hushed omakase. Instead, music plays in the background here, where an eight-seat counter is wonderfully spacious, and chef mostly keeps to himself as he assembles each bite with quiet efficiency. Start the meal with a number of kitchen dishes like excellent monkfish liver, or charcoal-grilled beltfish served with a scattering of sansho pepper. All of the seafood comes from Japan, and larger fish like tuna are aged in-house. Rice for the nigiri is on the firmer side with a touch of sugar added as a nod to his Osaka roots.

• Pizzeria Bianco Los AngelesBib Pizzeria Bianco proves that Los Angeles can more than hold its own in the pizza conversation. Long lines still snake through ROW DTLA, with diners crowding both the dining room and takeout window in pursuit of Chef Chris Bianco’s famously blistered pies. The menu remains tightly focused, featuring just a handful of pizzas executed with remarkable consistency, from the “Biancoverde” topped with fresh mozzarella, Parmigiano-Reggiano, ricotta and arugula to the “Wiseguy” layered with wood-roasted onion, fennel sausage and smoked mozzarella. The margherita remains a benchmark in its simplicity, wh9.3km
• The Factory KitchenBib This “factory” is actually sleek, with cement columns, a modern bar and wide-open garage doors that enhance its lofty feel. However, the heart and soul of its kitchen is dedicated to traditional Northern Italian cuisine. This should come as no surprise, as Angelo Auriana and Matteo Ferdinandi are turning heads with their quickly expanding empire. Devotion to regionally specific flavors is clear in every bite. Ravioli, made in house, tucked with seafood and tossed in an aromatic and savory sauce, is a winner, but don't skip the shatteringly crisp focaccina calda di Recco, filled with Crescenza 9.3km
• Damian Housed within a repurposed warehouse with polished concrete, exposed brick and pendant lighting, Damian has that industrial chic look down pat, but add plush leather-covered chairs and loads of leafy green plants, plus an ever-popular terrace, and this Arts District denizen is a notch above. The menu speaks to a kitchen that is rooted in the nuances of Mexican cooking. While there may not be a right way to start a meal here, a delicious tamal de elote paired with a thirst-quenching cocktail is always a good idea.

• Bestia As cool and convivial as ever, this is the kind of place where both diners and staff seem perpetually at bliss. Inside, it all feels like a labor of love thanks to husband-and-wife team Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis, whose dining rooms across the city are perpetually packed. The space itself is warehouse-sized and rustic, with a copper bar, tulip-shaped pendant lights, booths that appear virtually suspended and a flaming red domed oven. However, it is the cooking that truly calls these crowds. Grilled prawns with serrano pesto, blistered pizzas dressed with Sichuan peppercorn and wildflower8.4km
• kodō It may be tucked inside a former firehouse, but kodō is more calm and cool than fiery. It's the kind of place where a boulder doubles as a desk and the abundant use of natural materials sets a serene tone. Choose from breezy, outdoor dining on the patio or come indoors for a menu that celebrates Kyoto cuisine, from robata to sushi, albeit with a California influence. The sushi and nigiri are so good that you won't even notice the trendy crowd snapping photos for their Instagram feed. Off-menu specials, such as the Japanese sea snail, are especially memorable, while sea bream and octopus are im8.5km
