Dine LA Restaurant Week returns August 14 to 28, 2026, with more than 400 restaurants across 84 neighborhoods and 26 cuisines. Most of the attention goes to the familiar names. Five restaurants are on the list for the first time this summer, and each one is worth knowing about.


Monsieur Dior, Beverly Hills


Monsieur Dior is Dominique Crenn's rooftop restaurant with Dior on Rodeo Drive, and the highest-profile newcomer of the group. Crenn became the first female chef in the United States to earn three Michelin stars, for Atelier Crenn in San Francisco, in 2018. The Beverly Hills project marked her return to Los Angeles restaurants after nearly two decades away.


Omaniku, San Gabriel


Omaniku runs two omakase formats, one built on meat and one on seafood, from 303 E. Valley Boulevard. The kitchen focuses on premium cuts and a multi-course progression, and the room seats a small crowd. Reservations are at (626) 607-2023.


Hipico, Arcadia


Hipico sits at the top of the Hilton Arcadia Los Angeles at 123 W. Huntington Drive, serving Baja-inspired plates and craft cocktails with a rooftop view over the San Gabriel Valley. It is one of several dining rooms in the hotel. Reach it at (626) 684-1105.


Dune, Atwater Village


Dune is the outlier here, a first-time Dine LA participant rather than a new restaurant. Scott Zwiezen opened it in 2015 at 3143 Glendale Boulevard, and it has drawn steady lines for its falafel and its Eastern Mediterranean and Levantine street food ever since. It is also the most affordable entry point on this list.


Perse, Brentwood


Perse serves Persian fine dining from a third-floor space at 11677 San Vicente Boulevard, with a patio and a skyline view. The menu runs to charbroiled kabobs, mezze and saffron tahdig, alongside a full bar and a deep wine list. Reservations are at (424) 257-2010.


How Dine LA works


There are no tickets and no passes. You book a table and ask for the Dine LA menu. Prix fixe pricing starts at $15 and runs to $65 and above, and those prices exclude beverages, tax and gratuity. This edition is dine-in only, and advance reservations are strongly recommended. Menus and the full participating list are posted at dineLA.com, with restaurants added in the run-up to opening day.
