Los Angeles Restaurants
Los Angeles has a fabulous selection of restaurants, offering something for every taste and budget. Taking into account the surrounding areas and cities generally considered to be part of LA, you have everything from such staples as Wolfgang Pucks famed Spago to the slightly (!) less expensive, but no less famous,
Pinks Hot Dogs.
This alphabetical list is far from comprehensive as LA has 50,000 + restaurants, and counting, but includes what we feel are not only some of the best restaurants in the city, but many that are unique, eclectic, and should enhance any visit.
We give you a one line comment on every listing, with fuller reviews on some.
