Destination: California: Los Angeles

Overview Text Size A A A

My favorite part of any trip tends to be the food. When I think of Chicago, my thoughts immediately turn not to some architectural triumph, but to Alinea. Say the word “California” to me, and farmer’s markets and artisanal cheeses spring to mind. LA has an incredibly varied dining scene.

Top concierges will normally insist on the same roster: Spago, Mr. Chow, XIV and so on, which remain solid choices.

Foodies, however, should not miss these Indagare-recommended restaurants:

Hot Spots:

Gjelina

Osteria Mozza

The Bazaar by José Andrés

Tavern

Five for Foodies:

Susan Feniger’s Street

Rustic Canyon

Akasha

Animal

Jar

Other Indagare favories:

Jaan

Urth Caffé

Father’s Office

Joan’s on Third

Blue Plate Oysterette

Umami Burger

Cube
