Blue Velvet Write a Review
750 S. Garland Ave. California, Modern American, Small plates $$$ Downtown  
Wrapped around a glowing swimming pool that turns every vantage into a David Hockney painting, Blue Velvet is a hyperdesigned lounge fitted into the ground floor of a former Holiday Inn, with the cool blues of Staples Center and the financial-district skyscrapers just beyond. Some of the herbs... More >>
Chichen Itza Write a Review
2501 W. Sixth St. Latin American, Yucatecan $ Westlake  
From its sleekly rustic dining room, Chichén Itzá is devoted to the cooking of the Yucatán, the citrusy, fragrant, sometimes searing-hot cuisine of the Mayas. It's probably the most genteel restaurant in the Westlake district, favored by politicians and gourmands from the... More >>
Ciudad Write a Review
445 S. Figueroa St. Pan-Latin, South American, Tapas $$$ Downtown  
Ciudad, the pan-Latin outpost of Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger, may be all things to all people but especially to all people whose pleasures include digging into a ceviche plate and bending an elbow every now and then: There are strong mojitos, mellow Pisco sours and an inspiring... More >>
Daikokuya Write a Review
327 E. First St. Japanese $$ Downtown  
Yes, we know about the old standards and the new, the austere Tokyo-based chain with branches in local Japanese supermarkets, and the impeccably credentialed noodle czars. We've heard all the arguments about authenticity, and we've seen Tampopo too many times to count. But ramen, a noodle soup... More >>
El Parian Write a Review
1528 W. Pico Blvd. Latin American, Mexican $ Downtown  
Until a local website praised its carne asada, El Parian was best known for its birria, Guadalajara-style roasted goat in broth, and when you sat down at one of the well-battered tables, the waitress didn't offer you a menu, she asked whether you were having a full order or were only hungry... More >>
J N J Burger & Bar-B-Q Write a Review
5754 W. Adams Blvd. American, Barbecue, Soul Food, Southern $$ West Adams/ Crenshaw/ Baldwin Hills  
Like Gaul, J N J is divided into three parts: a shaded, gravel-floored dining area; an area dedicated to hamburgers; and the inner sanctum — a worn counter, a kitchen that resembles a temporary structure built to feed hungry firemen, and the smoker itself, a mammoth, puffing construction... More >>
Kagaya Write a Review
418 E. Second St. Asian, Japanese $$$ Downtown  
Shabu shabu has become a local fad in the last few years — a transparent petal of prime beef swished through bubbling broth for a second or two, just until the pink becomes frosted with white. You can find shabu shabu restaurants now in half the suburbs in the county. But when the dish is... More >>
Langer's Write a Review
704 S. Alvarado St. American, Deli, Jewish $$ Westlake  
In the course of the half-block walk from the Alvarado Blue Line station to the old-line delicatessen Langer's, you will smell the food from a half-dozen Central American countries, pass within sight of Mexican street murals, and be offered the opportunity to buy fresh mangoes, counterfeit green... More >>
The Nickel Write a Review
524 S. Main St. American, Diner $$ Downtown  
Even given the gentrification of downtown, the Nickel appears less like a diner than a movie set, a seemingly unreconstructed '40s-era greasy spoon that popped up a few steps from what used to be considered the gamiest intersection in town, on a block where artists in natty hats share the... More >>
Patina, Disney Hall Write a Review
141 S. Grand Ave. California, Contemporary, French $$$ Downtown  
Sustainable? No. Organic? Probably not. Multicultural? Only when strictly necessary. Patina's exquisitely wrought dining room in Disney Hall is the most important restaurant space in California, and Joachim Splichal is a master of modern global cuisine, finely crafted, vegetable-intensive... More >>
Philippe the Original Write a Review
1001 N. Alameda St. American $ Downtown  
Now that its only serious competitor is about to be retrofitted into a gleaming replica of itself, Philippe's is one of the few remaining artifacts of the Los Angeles that Philip Marlowe knew, a sprawling complex of long tables, cheap coffee, sawdust-sprinkled floors and a Depression-era beef... More >>
Phillips' Barbecue Write a Review
2619 S. Crenshaw Blvd. Barbecue $ West Adams/ Crenshaw/ Baldwin Hills  
Crusted with black and deeply smoky, the spareribs at Phillips Barbecue are rich and crisp and juicy, not too lean. Beef ribs, almost as big around as beer cans, are beefy as rib roasts beneath their coat of char, tasty even without the sauce. They are the only ribs that can compete on equal... More >>
Rivera Write a Review
1050 S. Flower St. Latin American $$$ Downtown  
It would be hard to overestimate the influence of John Rivera, who introduced the idea of new Southwestern Cuisine 25 years ago at the late St. Estephe, marrying classical French technique to the flavors imprinted onto his palate as a kid in New Mexico – at this remove, it’s hard even to... More >>
Royale Write a Review
2619 Wilshire Blvd. European $$$ Westlake  
A swank parlor of the oughts fitted into a swank art deco supper club of 80 years ago, Royale is an oddly formal restaurant for its MacArthur Park neighborhood, a citadel of Ginger Rogers-era civilization translated into beefsteak and halibut. And as you might expect, the dining room is... More >>
Tiara Write a Review
127 E. Ninth St. California $$ Downtown  
If Godzilla decided to explore her feminine side, she might be tempted to wear Tiara's giant, glittery range hood on her head, just the sort of Audrey Hepburn–esque touch Mothra might find attractive. Tiara, Fred Eric's Dr. Seuss–flavored Fashion District restaurant, shoots the girly... More >>
Water Grill Write a Review
544 S. Grand Ave. Modern American $$$ Downtown  
A big-city fish restaurant, Water Grill is a redoubt of oysters and fresh scallops, sparkling fish and sea creatures we can’t even pronounce, in one of the busiest commercial corridors of downtown. It was widely assumed that the restaurant would wither into irrelevancy when former chef... More >>
Wood Spoon Write a Review
107 W 9th St. Brazilian, Latin American $$ Downtown  
It may be a little strange to start a review by praising a restaurant's tap water, but Wood Spoon's really is the best in town: triple-filtered, no doubt, served sharply cool, and flavored with whole cinnamon sticks, which give the water a delicate fragrance and tint it the color of dilute... More >>
Wurstkuche Write a Review
800 E. Third St. Hot Dogs, Sandwiches, Vegetarian $$ Downtown  
Just beyond the range of the alternate jurors who lunch, Wurstkuche occupies the kind of way-downtown location everybody loves, a short walk from SCI-Arc but leagues away from Bunker Hill bankers; a few steps from the center of the Arts District but hidden from casual passersby, especially if... More >>
29th Street Cafe Write a Review
2827 S. Hoover St. American $$ USC to South L.A.  
410 Boyd Write a Review
410 Boyd St. California $$ Downtown  
626 Reserve Write a Review
626 S. Spring St. American, Seafood, Wine Bar $$ Downtown  
ABC Seafood 1 User Reviews
205 Ord Street Dim Sum, Seafood $ Chinatown/ Elysian Park  
Ackee Bamboo 2 User Reviews
4305 Degnan Blvd. Caribbean $ USC to South L.A.

106 W. 9th St. Kosher, Mediterranean, Persian $$ Downtown
