Topline:
At the Michelin Guide awards Wednesday night, for the first time, a pair of Los Angeles restaurants were recognized with three Michelin stars: Providence in Hollywood, and Somni in West Hollywood.
Why it matters: Any kind of Michelin star is prestigious; three stars is a truly impressive achievement. There are only three other restaurants in all of California with the same ranking.
Other winners: Mori Nozomi in West L.A. and Restaurant Ki in Little Tokyo were awarded one star, and and two others got Bib Gourmand awards, for more affordable eateries: Komal in downtown L.A. and Rasarumah on Beverly Boulevard.
Act fast: If you want to score a reservation, you should make one soon and be patient. Some of the restaurants, like Mori Nozomi and Restaurant Ki, have 10 seats or less.
