I have said it before and I'll say it again. Every city of culture is only bound to develop a tantalizing, worldly gastronomic scene. It's like gravity on Earth: just like we're pulled toward the ground by the planet, which keeps us closer together, artistically vibrant metropolises attract the best, and most diverse, culinary traditions to their bustling streets, making them yet another manifestation of the countless human stories that merge into one within their densely populated fabric. Situated only some 136 miles away from Tijuana, Mexico, and home to residents from an estimated 130 countries, The City of Angels is, of course, no exception. So what are the best Los Angeles restaurants, and what makes them stand out to us from the crowd? Well, have a seat.
You might have marked them up for your next trip already or, perhaps, they have passed you by, but taking a look at the best Los Angeles hotels will only prove to you how much modern interior design is ingrained in every inch of this destination — from its legendary Beverly Hills to rising arts locale Melrose Hill, recently spotlighted in our The Style Guide column. The same is true of its foodie hotspots. To come up with an easily digestible yet unmissable selection of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, I have dipped into its thriving culinary scene to unearth those locations whose countercultural, daring interiors are as much of a feast for the eyes as their cuisine is for the taste buds. Conceived by genre-pushing designers such as Martin Brudnizki, Osvaldo Maiozzi, and Jeremiah Brent, or by the new avantgarde of interiors innovators, these are the best Los Angeles restaurants every interior obsessed will want to grab a table at this year.
