Haute Event: DineLA Restaurant Week

Ladies and gentlemen, get your appetites ready! Winter 2011 DineLA Restaurant Week is approaching. From January 23 – 28 and January 30 – February 4, Angelenos will enjoy 3-course, prix-fixe menus at some of LA’s best restaurants.

Here are my picks for the best of the DineLA (lunch):

Asia de Cuba, West Hollywood, Cuisine: Fusion (I’ve heard they will serve their delicious miso cured Alaskan butterfish)

Boxwood Café by Gordon Ramsey, West Hollywood, Cuisine: Californian

Oliverio at Avalon Hotel, Beverly Hills, Cuisine: Italian

Tres by Jose Andres, Beverly Hills, Cuisine: Contemporary

Bouchon, Beverly Hills, Cuisine: French

Obika Mozzarella Bar, Beverly Center, Cuisine: Italian (located at Beverly Center, the restaurant/bar is ideal for shoppers who like quick bites!)

Here are my picks for the best of the DineLA (dinner):

Nobu, West Hollywood, Cuisine: Japanese (their chocolate bento box is to die for!)

Petrossian Parisian Boutique & Restaurant, West Hollywood, Cuisine: French

Whist, Santa Monica, Cuisine: Mediterranean

Vibrato Grill & Jazz, Beverly Hills, Cuisine: American

Crustacean Restaurant, Beverly Hills, Cuisine: Fusion
