Los Angeles
From celebrity chefs to old-time Hollywood establishments that have been around since the 1920s, Los Angeles’ culinary scene is vast, diverse and legendary. As of this year, LA has 24 Michelin-starred restaurants, some of the best including Providence, Mélisse, Camphor and Kato. While the cozy restaurant and the beautiful atmosphere are always there, you will find some authentic Thai, Japanese, Mexican, Vietnamese, Peruvian, Ethiopian and Filipino food in the country. If you want to dine on a piece of Hollywood history, consider drinking a dirty martini at Musso & Frank or Dan Tana.
Places to Stay:
Conrad Los Angeles features San Laurel and Agua Viva, two Spanish restaurants by acclaimed chef José Andrés. However, its prime location in Downtown Los Angeles also makes it the perfect home base for all your culinary explorations. Hotel Bel-Air is another great option located near LA’s Westside—while you’re at it, enjoy bites of caviar in the elegant Lounge, drinks in the hotel’s iconic lobby and dinner by chef Joe Garcia in the signature outdoor restaurant.
