Eleven new restaurants in Los Angeles have joined the Michelin Guide, according to an announcement last week. The updated list covers neighborhoods from Beverly Hills to Los Feliz. Four additional spots elsewhere in Southern California also made the cut.
Michelin inspectors cited a range of styles and cuisines. The additions include both casual spots and fine dining rooms. Among the names are restaurants focused on Korean, Italian, and modern Californian cooking.
The news arrives as New York chefs and owners track Michelin’s movements outside the city. Some have noted that LA’s new entries signal broader national attention from the guide, especially as the summer travel season approaches. Reservations in Los Angeles are expected to tighten in coming weeks.
A representative from Michelin said the selections reflect “the evolving landscape of Southern California’s culinary scene.” New Yorkers in the industry say the latest update puts more pressure on local restaurants to maintain standards as inspectors cover more ground nationally.
Michelin is expected to announce further additions in other U.S. cities later this year.
