Evan Funke’s elegant new Beverly Hills restaurant combines the best of his other two LA establishments of Felix and Mother Wolf. Combining fresh, handmade pasta and a wide menu of pan-Italian specialties — including pizza — Funke’s multi-level extravaganza could only work in a neighborhood like Beverly Hills. The ground floor is more restrained ’90s minimalism while the boisterous mezzanine works for a younger, more energetic crowd. There’s even a rooftop with its own cocktail bar for an open-air vibe. With a neighborhood chock-full of Italian restaurants, Funke might be its most ambitious.

Nate 'n Al

This iconic Beverly Hills deli serves reliably good pastrami and corned beef sandwiches. The extensive breakfast offerings that include cheese blintzes, matzo brei, and plenty of smoked fishes are also worth checking out. The deli nearly closed in past years before gaining new ownership, hopefully giving it a long future ahead.

Lorenzo

Lorenzo is helping to lead an LA sandwich revolution right now. The shop sells loads of focaccia sandwiches daily from its tiny olive cafe space, with a focus on Italian cold cuts like mortadella, prosciutto, and salami.

Crustacean

Copy Link

Modern Vietnamese fare by chef Helene An is what it is all about at Crustacean. Nearly every smart table will start with the smoky tuna tartare cigars and the crispy crab bites. Don’t sleep on the famous garlic noodles or the garlic-roasted Dungeness crab served in or out of its shell — go big and get both. The best part is seeing An herself working the dining room and making friends with everyone.

Using the highest grade Japanese wagyu, this shabu shabu and sukiyaki restaurant from the Yazawa group is one of the most impressive places to get the fancy beef. The prices are high to match, but the service and ambience are nothing short of something you would see in tiny Tokyo neighborhoods.

Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura

Copy Link

Massimo Bottura’s Michelin-star tasting restaurant could be the most stylish restaurant in Los Angeles, with staff decked out with Gucci sneakers, suits, and apparel from top to bottom. The fashion sensibilities on the table are impressive too, from the polished pasta and inventive Italian fare to the excellent wine pairings. In addition to the style, it’s possible that Gucci Osteria has the best service anywhere in LA. Bottura’s restaurant feels a tad forgotten sometimes given its balcony perch above a flashy luxury boutique, but maybe that’s half the charm. It’s for those in the know.

The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills

The show-stopping sandwiches at the new Cheese Store of Beverly Hills are rightfully garnering a lot of attention. Inside crusty bread find options like fried zucchini and pesto, prosciutto and coppa, and of course tons of high-quality cheese.

Nozawa Bar

Copy Link

This secret sushi bar tucked behind Beverly Hills’s Sugarfish is overseen by chef Osamu Fujita who prepares a seasonal, market-driven menu that stands up to similarly priced places in Tokyo. Given the quality of the fish, the price of entry might actually be lower than it could be. Reservations are required.

Dante Beverly Hills

Copy Link

New York City transplant Dante takes over the gorgeous rooftop space of the Maybourne hotel with near-unfettered views of the Hollywood Hills. The place is mainly famous in New York for its cocktails, like the spritzes and shaken drinks, but the food is solid too, from the blistered wood-fired pizzas to the generously portioned pastas. What Dante succeeds most in is the ambience, with plush banquettes or airy balcony seating for an effortlessly chic Beverly Hills experience.

Kazan Beverly Hills

Copy Link

Probably LA’s most expensive ramen, this Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand ramen spot is worth the premium, with polished bowls of elegant broth, chewy noodles, and quality toppings to go beyond the basic tonkotsu. Loaded with ultra-thin soba noodles, handmade wontons, and tender slices of pork or chicken chashu, Kazan is a treat for ramen fiends willing to spend almost twice the normal amount.

Avra Beverly Hills Estiatorio

Copy Link

New York City import Avra serves up modern Greek fare in the heart of the Golden Triangle. Similar to its two East Coast outlets, the emphasis is on pristine seafood that’s beautifully displayed for guests to select their ideal catch. Be sure to load up on the stellar appetizers too, like grilled prawns, feta-tomato salad, and comforting manouri saganaki, filo dough stuffed with manouri cheese and laced with sweet honey and balsamic glaze.

Lawry's the Prime Rib

Copy Link

A classic Restaurant Row destination, Lawry’s is still going strong after 80 years. With spinning salads to start and juicy prime rib carved tableside, this is an excellent place for large parties and celebrations. The old-school dining room, attentive service, and massive portions make it one of the best crowdpleasers in town.

With an upscale bar near the front for cocktails and small bites, and a main dining room dedicated to tasting menus and a la carte options, there’s something for everyone at Wolfgang Puck’s flagship restaurant. Don’t be surprised to see Puck roaming the dining room and kitchen most nights of the week.

La Dolce Vita

Copy Link

Crooner Frank Sinatra once invested in this windowless Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills, and the incredible ’70s throwback charm is back. Expect a lavish, over-the-top interior and tables bunched in as tightly as possible, with tiny but well-made cocktails placed next to heaping plates of spaghetti and meatballs. Everyone will want to order the veal Parmesan, but the seared branzino is a sleeper hit. Don’t forget desserts, either, like the decadent chocolate torte.

Located on the ground floor of the ritzy Beverly Wilshire hotel, this modern steakhouse from Wolfgang Puck serves quality red meat with chef-driven flourishes like the bone marrow flan starter. Save room for the chocolate souffle for dessert.

Steak 48 Beverly Hills

Copy Link

The original Mastro family (Jeff and Michael Mastro) has returned to Beverly Hills with a grand steakhouse made for one of LA’s ritziest areas. Steak 48 takes a lot of the upscale, over-the-top sensibilities of Mastro’s and dials in the experience with finesse and execution. The seafood tower brims with terrific fresh shellfish on an elevated chilled platter while the chops are grilled exactly how you want them. The sides are refreshing and interesting too, from the corn brulee to Hasselbeck potatoes.

Curtis Stone’s one-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant is back open in Beverly Hills after a brief hiatus as a pie shop. With Stone and Osiel Gastelum, previously of Somni, at the helm, Maude remains one of the most coveted tasting menus in town, featuring seasonal ingredients and stellar wine pairings.

Featuring only New Zealand-raised, grass-fed wagyu beef from First Light Farms, Matū is a steak-focused restaurant where most diners order a reasonably-priced tasting menu. Of course there’s wood-grilled steak, but starters might include arugula-laced carpaccio or braised beef croquetas. Lunch or bar-only Philly cheesesteaks are a great draw for those who don’t need a full dinner but want a taste of the delicious beef.
