It really depends on what kind of food and vibe you want since LA has everything from street tacos to fine dining. For a great mix, people usually recommend Bestia (Italian), Bavel (Middle Eastern), Republique (brunch/French-inspired), Holbox (seafood), Musso & Frank Grill (classic old-school Hollywood), and Guelaguetza for amazing Oaxacan Mexican food. If I had to pick one, I’d say Bestia lived up to the hype for me, but reservations can be tough.
