One of the top modern Thai restaurants in Los Angeles, Kris Yenbamroong created a strong menu of drinking food and Thai classics. The pork toro is a must-order, while everything from the khao soi to the pad thai will be some of the best one can find in the city. The restaurant has other locations in Silver Lake and more recently at the Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas.

This longstanding red sauce joint is as old school as it gets. Although the restaurant’s conspicuous preference to seat regulars and celebrities over nobodies can make snagging a table rather difficult even with a reservation. Order the chicken parm and a strong martini.

Olivetta combines big culinary talent from chef Michael Fiorelli and design know-how from Tom Parker of Fettle. The former Au Fudge address has been outfitted with four different dining areas where Fiorelli serves up hearty Italian dishes along with more pan-Mediterranean flavors. Olivetta also serves outdoor at the nearby La Peer Hotel’s rooftop, which is a new addition to the neighborhood.

The ambience and decor at Soulmate is arresting, with a massive outdoor space and two different kinds of dining rooms that appeal to the scene-y West Hollywood crowd. The food can be prettier than it tastes, though the paella and fideua likely won’t disappoint. Come for the cocktails and stay for the vibes.

Naples-born pizzaiolo Daniele Uditi continues Pizzana’s winning formula at this outlet on a mostly retail stretch of Robertson. He uses organic, stone-ground Italian flour and a 48-hour fermentation process to produce crisp traditional Neapolitan pies. The cacio e pepe and neo margherita are sure bets. Sandwiches during lunch are also fantastic.

With a hundred years of heritage and caviar production, Petrossian seems like an indulgent splurge. In some ways, purchasing the outlandishly expensive caviar is a flex most people can’t afford on any regular basis, but dining at the brand’s West Hollywood restaurant is comparatively attainable. The food is certainly pricey for what it is, but expect polished, French-inflected daytime food like nicoise salad and croque monsieur.

Hideyuki Yoshimoto brings a fresh new sushi spot with counter omakase and more along busy Robertson Boulevard. The restaurant opened during the pandemic, which relegated most diners to picking up the gorgeous bento, but now that indoor dining is back, Tama should become one of LA’s most exciting new sushi spots.

Raphael Francois brings French, continental-inspired cuisine to Sunset Boulevard. Every table starts with an order of the house-made charcuterie — pâtés, terrines, rillettes, and saucisse — followed by larger plate format of wood-fired meats and fish. Dessets from Sally Camacho are a must-order. The wine list designed by Jordan Ogron is worth exploring, too.

Wolfgang Puck’s first LA restaurant in ten years takes over the gorgeous penthouse floor at the Pendry West Hollywood, with unfettered views of the Southland. The food is classic Wolfgang, fusing French and Asian flavors with plenty of flair and color. Try the crispy black bass with vegetable fried rice, then finish with the hazelnut dacquoise dessert.

Connie & Ted’s remains one of the top seafood restaurants in Los Angeles. Providence chef Michael Cimarusti prepares classic New England-style dishes, pristine oysters, and a mean blondie sundae for dessert. The patio’s an especially good place to people-watch.

Jones has one of the coolest interiors in all of LA, thanks to a rock-and-roll sensibility and plush leather banquettes that gives it that old East Coast Italian restaurant feel. The spaghetti and meatballs are a fantastic entree while the apple pie, served hot in a bubbling pool of caramel, is a legendary LA dessert.
