Top Restaurants in Hollywood | L.A. Eats

Hollywood has always been a neighborhood of spectacle, but its dining scene has become just as compelling as its marquees. Between old-school institutions, polished tasting menus, stylish hotel-adjacent dining rooms, and late-night Italian American comfort, the top restaurants in Hollywood offer a mix of nostalgia and new energy. Whether you are planning a celebratory dinner, a pre-show bite, or a lingering night out, these restaurants prove that Hollywood still knows how to set the scene.

Mr. T

Location: 953 N Sycamore Ave, Los Angeles, CA, 90038, US

Mr. T brings a French sensibility to a high-ceilinged Hollywood dining room filled with music, movement, and well-dressed diners. The menu folds Los Angeles influences into dishes like branzino with beurre blanc, steak tartare with Thai vinaigrette, and beef bourguignon interpreted through the lens of Korean galbi-jjim. At lunch, the bistro burger with cheese foam has become one of the neighborhood’s best daytime orders.

Jones

Location: 7205 Santa Monica Blvd, West Hollywood, CA 90046, USA

Jones is the kind of restaurant every city needs: reliable, lively, and open late enough to save the night. After a temporary closure in 2023, the longtime Italian American staple returned with its cozy bar, pizzas, pastas, salads, and whole steamed artichokes. The spaghetti and meatballs are a classic move, but the sizzling apple pie à la mode is the order people remember.

Jacaranda

Location: 6623 Melrose Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90038, United States

Jacaranda offers a more intimate tasting menu experience from chef Daniel Patterson and Sarah Lewitinn. The 30-seat restaurant focuses heavily on California ingredients, with a vegetable-forward menu that may include artichoke flower, soft tofu with fresh seaweed, and Kauai prawns. It feels refined without being stiff, which makes it one of the top restaurants in Hollywood for a quieter special occasion.

Musso & Frank Grill

Location: 6667 Hollywood Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA

Musso & Frank Grill is more than a landmark. It is a living dining room where martinis arrive cold, servers move with practiced grace, and the menu still honors its 1919 roots. Order the prime rib, fettuccine Alfredo, or Flannel Cake, then settle into the hum of a room that has seen nearly every version of Hollywood pass through.

Udatsu

Location: 6634 West Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90028

Hidden above Rokusho, Udatsu brings one of Tokyo’s most creative omakase experiences to Hollywood. The eight-seat counter is guided by chef Shingo Ogane, with a progression shaped by rice temperature and pristine fish, much of it sourced from Japan. It is a splurge, but for sushi devotees, it belongs among the top restaurants in Hollywood.

Gwen

Location: 6600 Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA

Gwen is chef Curtis Stone’s polished steakhouse, butcher shop, and celebratory dining room wrapped into one. The menu starts beautifully with house-made charcuterie before moving into dry-aged steaks and seasonal dishes handled with fine-dining precision. The Art Deco-meets-midcentury space gives the whole experience a little cinematic glow.

Mother Wolf

Location: 1545 Wilcox Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028, USA

Mother Wolf turned its corner of Hollywood into a Roman dining event. Evan Funke’s restaurant is grand, busy, and beautiful, with wood-fired pizzas, rigatoni all’Amatriciana, and bistecca alla Fiorentina moving through a room that rarely seems to slow down. Reservations are highly recommended, especially if you want to experience one of the top restaurants in Hollywood at its full buzz.

Providence

Location: 5955 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038, USA

Providence remains one of Los Angeles’s great fine dining restaurants. Chef Michael Cimarusti’s seafood-focused tasting menu moves through luxurious courses like caviar, sashimi, Maine lobster, black cod, and optional add-ons such as oysters or Santa Barbara prawns. Nearly two decades in, it still feels precise, graceful, and deeply special.

ABL Hollywood

Location: 1649 North Cahuenga Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90028, United States

ABL Hollywood brings Jamaican-Chinese cooking to an intimate 35-seat space on Cahuenga. Mother-daughter team Aja and Barbara Dawson serve jerk fried egg rolls, chen pi ji-style chicken wings, oxtail macaroni and cheese, patties, coco bread, and escovitch snapper. It is warm, personal, and one of the top restaurants in Hollywood for bold, soulful flavor.

Jemma

Location: 1717 Vine St, Los Angeles, CA, 90028, US

Jemma keeps things approachable with polished Italian American cooking from chef Jackson Kalb. The menu includes meatballs, pepperoni pizza, cacio e pepe, spicy rigatoni alla vodka, and pork osso bucco, all made with care and strong ingredients. It works equally well for a family dinner, an after-work meal, or a casual Hollywood night out.

From century-old dining rooms to modern tasting menus and lively neighborhood newcomers, the top restaurants in Hollywood capture the neighborhood’s layered personality. It is classic, glamorous, strange, stylish, and still very hungry.

The Definitive Luxury Guide to Beating the Heat in Los Angeles | Out & About

When summer arrives in Southern California, the city takes on a radiant, sun-drenched energy. However, as temperatures rise across the county, finding sophisticated ways of beating the heat in Los Angeles becomes an absolute art form. For the discerning local, staying cool isn’t just about seeking air conditioning; it’s about curating elevated experiences that seamlessly blend comfort, exclusivity, and style.

Whether you are looking to escape your estate for the day or seeking inspiration to upgrade your own backyard paradise, here is how LA’s elite stay effortlessly cool this season.

1. Retreat to Exclusive Coastal Sanctuaries

When the valleys sizzle, the coast provides an immediate reprieve. Escaping to Malibu or Santa Monica remains a timeless strategy for beating the heat in Los Angeles. Skip the crowded public sands and opt for the complete privacy of the Calamigos Beach Club, a secluded coastal retreat tucked away along the Pacific Coast Highway. Spend the afternoon lounging on a private chaise with custom beachside service, or enjoy oceanfront dining at Carbon Beach Club. If you prefer to be on the water rather than beside it, charter a luxury electric e-boat from Marina del Rey for a private cruise, letting the crisp ocean breezes melt the city heat away.

2. Indulge in High-End Rooftop and Spa Oases

Los Angeles houses some of the most stunning wellness sanctuaries in the world, perfect for escaping a warm afternoon. Reserve a private, palm-fringed cabana at The Beverly Hills Hotel pool, where Old Hollywood history meets modern luxury. For an ultra-exclusive indoor retreat, spend the afternoon at the Fairmont Century Plaza spa, indulging in cutting-edge biohacking therapies and cooling traditional treatments. If you prefer a skyline view with your refreshing breeze, the newly reimagined rooftop pool deck at L’Ermitage Beverly Hills offers a sophisticated, discreet social edge where you can sip chilled champagne high above the shimmering city.

3. Curate Elegant Indoor Cultural Escapes

Sometimes, the best way to handle the midday sun is to avoid it entirely in favor of world-class indoor environments. LA’s vibrant art scene provides the perfect, climate-controlled sanctuary. Arrange a private gallery tour in West Hollywood or spend a quiet afternoon exploring the stunning architecture and masterpieces at the Getty Center. For a bit of premium retail therapy, visit the ultra-exclusive VIP shopping suites on Rodeo Drive, where personal stylists showcase the season’s latest collections in private, impeccably cooled architectural masterpieces.

4. Elevate Your Private Estate Oasis

Ultimately, the most luxurious way of beating the heat in Los Angeles is within the comfort of your own home. We know that true luxury means never having to leave your sanctuary to find comfort. Today’s high-end properties are designed to counteract the elements beautifully. Consider upgrading your estate with seamless indoor-outdoor transition glass doors.
