LOS ANGELES, July 1, 2024 – Today, Los Angeles Tourism announces the return of Summer Dine LA Restaurant Week, taking place from Friday, July 25 through Friday, August 8, 2025. The 15-day event invites visitors and the local LA community to experience the diverse culinary offerings available throughout the county.

Dine LA is one of the largest restaurant weeks in the country, including a lineup of nearly 450 restaurants across 88 neighborhoods and 33 global cuisines, the highest number of participants since the program’s inception. The array of participating restaurants – from two Michelin-starred Mélisse to casual local favorites like Coni’Seafood Inglewood – underscores Los Angeles' status as a culinary capital. As of June 2025, LA County has more than 180 Michelin-recognized restaurants, 32 of which are participating in Dine LA Restaurant Week. Among 80 exciting new participants in the summer program is Soban, a Koreatown family-owned local institution, Koast, a newly opened concept from Chef Kevin Meehan, and Neighbors & Friends, a female-owned, community-driven cafe in Old Town Pasadena.

“Dine LA is more than just a celebration of LA’s food, it’s a moment to support the chefs, restaurateurs, and teams who continue to shape the city’s culinary culture,” said Stacey Sun, Executive Director of Dine LA. “Restaurants across Los Angeles have shown incredible resilience in recent years, and this program offers a meaningful way for locals and visitors alike to show up, dine out, and rediscover what makes our dining scene so special.”

For dining enthusiasts eager to immerse themselves in the vibrant restaurant scene, consider an overnight stay for multiple culinary experiences throughout the weekend, all while exploring the city's many other attractions and events. Steps from Sunset Boulevard, The Godfrey Hotel boasts an unbeatable Hollywood location, inviting guests to dine at SoCal-centric About Last Knife (ALK). In the heart of Downtown LA, find an Italian trattoria, Savoca, at the JW Marriott Los Angeles L.A. LIVE, or Peruvian-inspired fare at Cabra within The Hoxton Downtown LA. Or discover Openaire at THE LINE LA, a greenhouse haven in Koreatown, with Californian fare featuring the best ingredients from both land and sea.

“Discover LA's diverse restaurant scene with Dine LA, including Pez Coastal Kitchen (Pasadena). Our special prix fixe menus feature fresh, local summer ingredients, and are designed to bring in new diners, encouraging them to engage in LA's vibrant dining community,” shared Lucy and Bret Thompson, Chefs/Owners, Pez Coastal Kitchen.

Created and produced by LA Tourism, Dine LA Restaurant Week puts a spotlight on LA’s world-class dining scene while supporting local restaurants and hospitality workers. With prix-fixe menus ranging from $15 to $65 and above, the program invites diners to explore the city’s ever-evolving restaurant landscape at a variety of price points, making it easy to try something new, support local, and celebrate LA’s culinary talent.  

We invite residents and guests of the city to explore, experience, savor, and share their culinary journey and favorite meals when the summer event commences on July 25. To learn more, visit DineLA.com and join the conversation on social @dinela on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
