The Top Restaurants in Los Angeles Right Now — Resy | Right This Way

Updated: June 1, 2026

There’s no question we hear more often: Where should I go eat? And while we at Resy know it’s an honor to be the friend who everyone asks for restaurant advice, we also know it’s a complicated task. That’s where the Resy Hit List comes in.

Consider it your essential resource for dining in Los Angeles: a monthly-updated guide to the restaurants that you won’t want to miss — tonight or any night.

Four Things In Los Angeles Not to Miss This Month

New Openings Galore: Sushi Nakazawa just landed in West Hollywood, where chef Daisuke Nakazawa (of “Jiro Dreams of Sushi” fame) is serving up Edomae-style omakases built around precision, progression, and fish of extremely high quality. It’s joined this month by a handful of other notable new Resy additions: there’s Montauk in Redondo beach, where you’ll find elegant versions of classic seafood dishes (think baked oysters Rockefeller and saffron risotto dotted with charred octopus). Along the Cahuenga Pass in Studio City, retro-futuristic cocktail bar Night on Earth, from the team behind award-winning Thunderbolt, is introducing the Valley to “out of this world cocktails.” Head to New on Resy for more.
Plan Now, Thank Yourself Later: Between Father’s Day on the 21st, Juneteenth (which falls on the 19th), an entire month of Pride festivities, June is a big month to celebrate. A month this important deserves some planning, no matter how Type B you are. Take your dad to Beverly Hills, where Crustacean is throwing a Father’s Day brunch, complete with Vietnamese caramelized short ribs, tomahawk steak, and surf and turf crispy rice. On June 8th, Mercado la Paloma turns 25 years old, and to celebrate, Holbox is hosting a 10-course tasting menu. Check out all of June’s events here.
Eat Los Angeles in Three Days: Whether you have family coming in from out of town or are just craving an epic staycation, contributor Kelly Dobkin has you covered. She mapped out “How to Spend a Perfect 72 Hours Eating Your Way Through L.A.” and it’s full of heavy hitters. There’s lunch at The Lobster, where you’ll enjoy Pacific Ocean views and wild Dungeness crab gumbo, a taco crawl in Boyle Heights, and endive salads paired with glasses of natural wine at Seco in Silver Lake. Bookmark that guide, then check out Resy’s full summer-ready travel collection.
Check Your Weather App: Not to be that person, but Angelenos must prepare themselves for the possibility of June Gloom. Here are some ideas to get you through those gray times: Ka’Teen launched Jungle Disco, a summer-long series of dinner and dancing that takes place every Friday night in Hollywood. In Long Beach, neighborhood superstar Ellie’s introduced new small plates, like fried meatballs made with tomato conserva and pickled banana pepper. And raise a glass at Malama Pono in the Valley, where they’re working in five new tropical cocktails, including a margarita sporting a crimson-red li hing mui rim. Although, refreshing Resy’s data-driven collection of trending Los Angeles restaurants at an alarming rate sounds like a good idea, too.
