Dine LA Returns August 14-28 With Two Weeks of Prix Fixe Menus

Mark the calendar and start plotting the reservations. Dine LA Restaurant Week returns for its summer 2026 edition, running August 14 through August 28, with special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus starting at just $15 at hundreds of restaurants across Los Angeles, per LA Tourism, which created and produces the event.

The format stays the deal it has always been: participating restaurants across the county, from casual neighborhood spots to fine dining rooms, offer set menus at fixed price points, giving Angelenos two weeks to try the places on their list without the usual sticker shock. No tickets or passes are required. You simply book a table and ask for the Dine LA menu, though with the event's popularity, advance reservations are strongly encouraged.

Here's the fun scheduling wrinkle: Dine LA's opening weekend lands directly on top of 626 Night Market's August run at Santa Anita Park, which makes August 14 to 16 arguably the biggest food weekend of the LA summer. Plan accordingly, and maybe skip lunch.

The participating restaurant list and menus post at dineLA.com, and FJM will be highlighting standout menus, including our featured Food Events and Hot Spots taking part, as the event gets closer.

I hope you're hungry. - Matthew Tropp | FJM.
