Snag a Table for Valentine’s Day at One of These Los Angeles Hotspots
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. For many restaurants, the holiday is one of their most important days of the year, especially after the pandemic. The holiday falls on a Tuesday this year and though you’ll find plenty of restaurants with à la carte menus, I’ve curated a list of the best Valentine’s Day dinner options in the city that still have reservation availability. From romantic hideaways to a handful of the city’s best restaurants, old favorites and newcomers alike, plus a heart-shaped pizza to-go if you plan to celebrate at home. These excellent Los Angeles restaurants have your V-Day plans covered in terms of ambience and food alike—and if you find that your first choice is booked, you’re almost guaranteed to find another just-as-great spot on this list.
Studio City’s Los Balcones is Boldly Creative, Wildly Exciting, & Tantalizingly Unusual
Los Balcones in Studio City is a once-in-a-lifetime kind of restaurant except that you will return again and again over the course of your life. Immediately after finishing our dinner for two I made a reservation for four for the following week. This Los Balcones is the offspring of Hollywood mainstay Los Balcones, which is known for traditional Peruvian food. There’s nothing traditional about this outpost. The dishes are boldly creative, wildly exciting, and tantalizingly unusual. These dishes cannot be found at the Hollywood location, and they aren’t just hard to find at other Peruvian spots in Los Angeles, they’re positively impossible to find elsewhere.
All the Best Food & Wine From The Taste Los Angeles
The Labor Day Holiday weekend saw thousands of us flock to Paramount Studios in Los Angeles to spend three glorious evenings eating, drinking, sampling and savoring from LA’s best restaurants at the Taste, the Los Angeles Times annual food festival. The Taste has become Los Angeles’s de facto, signature food and wine festival. And for good reason. At no other festival in Los Angeles will you find such an extraordinary roster of restaurants. It’s the perfect event to cross off your 2018 restaurant “must” list in one weekend.
This year’s event paid special tribute to the late, legendary Jonathan Gold. Dozens of chefs created dishes in honor of the Pulitzer Prize winning critic. What a joy to discover so many hidden gems! For those of you couldn’t make it – here are a few of the many highlights from the festival. Your next dinner reservation starts here.
Hope to see you at next year’s Taste!
The Best Los Angeles Events in April 2018
Happy spring! Here’s a a great list of all the best Los Angeles events and things to do our great city has to offer in April from live readings, film festivals, music performances, art shows, and food. Lots of food. Enjoy!
A Bit of Los Olivos in South Pasadena – Crossings Restaurant Relaunches
Of the moment, yet not on the nose, Crossings in South Pasadena is your newest Los Angeles dining destination. Crossings uses hyper-local ingredients for its hyper-modern California cuisine. You’ll love it. I did. And don’t let Crossing’s off the beaten path location deter you – you won’t find food this good, a vibe this cool, and a wine list this extensive, anywhere else in Southern California. It’s the fine dining establishment South Pasadena needs, the of one-of-a-kind restaurant that, before iPhones and Instagram and Yelp, you felt lucky to have stumbled upon and discovered.
All the Best Food From the EastSide Food Festival (Photos)
The EastSide Food Fest returned to the legendary Mack Sennett Studios in Silver Lake on Sunday, October 22nd. The annual celebration of the East side’s best restaurants and chefs always draws a huge crowd yet remains remarkably easy to try at least one of every thing from the 35+ vendors who attended this year’s event. Guests are able to sample dishes from local restaurants that may not be on their radar, out of their neighborhood, or over their budget. Trust me, you won’t leave hungry.
The Best Deals at dineL.A. Summer Restaurant Week
dineL.A. Summer Restaurant Week is back! And it’s actually two weeks, July 14-28 to be exact. dineL.A. Restaurant Weeks offer fix-priced lunch and dinner menus at discount prices to newcomers, fans, and foodies. But not all of the restaurants participating offer, well, quite as great deals as we’re led to believe. So collected here are truly the restaurants with the best deals. I did the math so you don’t have to. Happy eating!
Find Your True Fork at Wanderlust Hollywood
Wanderlust Hollywood is quickly becoming a one stop shop for Angelenos interested in yoga, nutrition, and meditation. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Wanderlust also hosts film screenings, jewelry making, comedy shows, and, yes, my favorite, wine tastings all in their Highland Avenue outpost. This summer, Wanderlust Hollywood is hosting the Find Your True Fork dinner series that promises to showcase healthy, sustainable and ethical food choices through the lens of six influential chefs, spotlighting their own unique approaches to mindful eating with themed dinners and food experiences. Their next dinner will host chef Seamus Mullen and I hope to see you there! Plus, there’s a cookbook so we’ll be able to make these delicious meals at home! Gather, dine, explore and expand your palate and find the true fork that suits you.
