- Share via
We all know that the holidays are about spending quality time with your loved ones — and when delicious food is involved, even better! But curating a home-cooked menu that will impress friends and family can be daunting and we won’t blame you if you need to bring in reinforcements. Whether you’re looking for a few supplementary sides on your holiday table or want to secure a reservation for a festive dinner on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, Los Angeles offers plenty of options.
Thinking takeout? This holiday season, you can heat and serve Italian comfort-food classics such as eggplant alla Parmigiana, flavor-packed beef birria en consomé or traditional American favorites including a double-smoked ham dinner complete with cornbread stuffing.
Those who prefer to dine out on the holiday can have a British feast at a cozy pub on Christmas Eve or an extravagant prix fixe menu at one of Beverly Hills’ swankiest hotels or Wagyu short ribs and toro tartare as part of a festive omakase.
Here are 20 of the best restaurants in L.A. ready to make your holiday meal a memorable one.
