Tasting menus across Los Angeles showcase the city’s—perhaps even the world’s—most opulent, rare and exciting dining experiences. However, we know excellent food can be found anywhere in the city no matter the price point. So when the aim is for a fully flavorsome and fully satisfying meal, consider a pre-fixe menu no matter the occasion. From Italian feasts to a smorgasbord of Spanish cuisine and beyond, here are seven Los Angeles restaurants with pre-fixe menus under $50.
