Dine LA Restaurant Week: Essential Guide to Los Angeles' Premier Prix-Fixe Menus Through Jan. 25

Experience Los Angeles dining like a Hollywood A-lister, regardless of budget. Dine LA Restaurant Week, running through January 25, delivers prix-fixe menus at reduced prices with innovative dishes from the city's top chefs.

Spotlight on Providence: Chef Michael Cimarusti's sustainable seafood haven, a critics' favorite bolstered by its rooftop farm. Savor local California rockfish or tasting menu highlights for $100 per person ($160 with wine pairings).

At Beverly Hills' The Bazaar, José Andrés pauses his global philanthropy to serve signatures like the "Hamachi cone" and seared Wagyu beef cheeks with honey dates and mustard caviar. The $110 per person menu fuses Spanish classics (tortilla, croquetas) with inventive U.S. takes, including Philly Cheesesteak on "air bread."

Jean-Georges Beverly Hills launches extravagantly: sea urchin and caviar with crispy potatoes, yuzu, and crème fraîche ($99 per person). Lunch steals at $35 per person feature slowly cooked salmon with truffled mash and shaved Brussels sprouts. At Hotel Bel-Air, Wolfgang Puck offers Pacific oysters, black pasta with lobster and goat cheese, or Sonoma lamb with quince and winter vegetables ($100 per person; $155 with pairings).

Dine LA spans nearly 400 restaurants across LA's vast culinary scene, catering to every taste.

A Frame, Roy Choi's trailblazing brick-and-mortar blending Hawaiian-Korean vibes, offers a $29 per person mix-and-match menu: Cracklin’ Beer Can Chicken with rice, kimchi, and salsas; OG Ribs in hoisin-chili sauce; Ahi Poke with furikake and spicy ponzu. Essential: street churros as cinnamon-sugar pound cake fingers with malted chocolate milk dip.

Culver City's Akasha embraces SoCal bounty ($39 dinner per person): complimentary wine or cucumber agua fresca, heirloom carrot salad with goat cheese, then sambar chicken tikka masala with biryani, chutney, papadum, and raita (vegan cauliflower curry option). Next door, AR Cucina serves Italian hits like pesto orecchiette with broccolini ($29 dinner) or grass-fed burgers with fonduta and cacio e pepe fries ($15 lunch).

Iconic Lawry’s The Prime Rib upholds 80+ years of tradition: tableside-carved aged prime rib with airy Yorkshire pudding, creamed corn or spinach, and gravy-smothered mash ($59 per person). Site of the historic Beef Bowl bacchanal for Rose Bowl teams since 1956.
