With the highest number of participating restaurants in its history, Dine LA returns with its summer edition Friday, July 25, offering deals on prix fixe menus ranging mostly from $15 to $65, although some higher-end restaurants may charge more.
“What I love, what’s so unique about L.A. is that there are so many incredible neighborhoods and so many different cuisines but I think often people tend to stick in their neighborhoods. But Dine LA encourages people to travel to different neighborhoods,” said Susan Feniger, an acclaimed chef and board member with Dine LA.
This year nearly 450 restaurants across 88 neighborhoods are offering more than 30 global cuisines ranging from Asian to Mediterranean, American, Mexican and just about any type of food diners can crave. It’s the greatest number of restaurants ever to participate in Dine LA, according to the event organizers.
“It’s has grown so much and that’s mind-boggling. You can find a place for great Moroccan food, or Brazilian or Japanese. I love that Dine LA simplifies it,” she said.
Dine LA Restaurant Week continues through Aug. 8. Obviously it would be impossible to try every restaurant on the list in 15 days, so with that in mind here are five recommendations on must try places.
