Guide to Greater Los Angeles Area Restaurants
The Greater Los Angeles area boasts the most diverse population of any major city in America. Virtually every nation of the world is represented. Under these circumstances there should be no surprise that virtually any kind of food is available through a plethora of highly regarded restaurants.
Several sources have been integrated to create this list. Among them is the Zagat guide which is compiled from questionnaires and comments from customers. The recommendations from Fodor’s, Lonely Planet and the Michelin guides were cross-referenced along with ratings and reviews from the Los Angeles Times. Finally, the personal experiences of NAHC staff and Board members were factored into these recommendations.

The Belvedere
9882 South Santa Monica Blvd.
Beverly Hills
(310) 975-2736

Some say The Belvedere has supplanted the Polo Lounge as the place to woo the wealthy and important. Of course, when you’re located inside the swanky Peninsula Hotel, the only five-diamond hotel in Southern California, you are assured a level of fine dining befitting major wheeling and dealing. With impeccable service and touches like live piano music and Villeroy & Boch china, it’s all very haughty and civilized, if a little old-fashioned. The American-cuisine menu serves up an array of standouts, including their incredibly popular macaroni and cheese (but with shaved truffles), Peking duck and truffle-roasted Chateaubriand of veal. Also on offer is the “Small Bites” menu, which enables diners to design their own tasting menu by choosing from the chef’s signature dishes. And for brunch hounds, this one is not to be missed, especially with highlights such as the Croque Madame and sausage and biscuits, as well as a lavish dessert buffet. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; reservation required. $$$$$

Casual diners can choose the bar, where low tables and chairs provide a relaxing place to chat or watch sports on the big screen TV. The Daily Grill specializes in delicious cuts of meat, although there are also pasta and seafood dishes available. The braised kosher short ribs topped with carrots, celery turnips, potatoes and gravy is a popular favorite. The steaks, charbroiled and cut from the finest USDA certified corn-fed Angus beef, are also a rare treat. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; no reservation required.
