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.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
