We all know Los Angeles is a foodie's heaven, blessed with some of the tastiest international flavors and American favorites. It's where the stars dine, and the food experts at Michelin have given L.A.'s restaurants a few stars of its own.
Of course it’s no surprise our sushi is some of the best in the world. In fact, three of the 10 restaurants graced with Michelin stars are sushi spots known for divine omakase menus that blend innovation with tradition and some of the freshest bites in the world. Eight of the restaurants on this list represent Asian flavors, from Japanese to Taiwanese, fusion menus and more.
Of course, Californians have their own way of eating, and Le Comptroir makes the list for its vegetarian Golden State fare. If you’re in the mood for Italian, you’ve got to make a stop at Osteria Mozza, where the menu brings the comfort of the old country to our beautiful backyard. They’ve even got the city’s only Michelin Green Star for its exemplary commitment to sustainability.
