Topline:
The Michelin Guide added six more Los Angeles eateries to its prestigious list this week.
Why it matters: Los Angeles has 134 “Selected Eateries” on the Michelin Guide, but there are 18 restaurants with one star and only five restaurants with two stars. Making the list of recommended restaurants can be a game changer for those businesses, and it might mean getting a table could get a little harder.
What's new to the list and Michelin’s tips:
Support for LAist comes from
- Barra Santos, Cypress Park: The guide said the whole branzino is an “absolute must.”
- Danbi, Koreatown: Michelin recommended the mushroom bibimbap with fresh veggies.
- Grá, Echo Park: The stracciatella and prosciutto with basil and a drizzle of coffee-infused honey was a favorite for the publication.
- Leopardo, Mid City: The Michelin guide suggests you go with the red flint waffles softened by bordier butter and follow with the aged Ossetra caviar with country bacon salt.
- Mae Malai Thai House of Noodles, Hollywood: The guide recommends their specialty, boat noodles in a thick, spicy broth of your choice.
- Stella, West Hollywood: Su Filindeu, the pasta dish with hand stretched noodles, or any menu item cooked over live fire, are musts to try according to the guide.
What’s next: Michelin's complete guide to California dining will be announced next month, including who will nab a star.
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.
