The Los Angeles Cuisine Scene

The City of Angels has long been considered a formidable opponent to the Big Apple in terms of redefining cutting edge cuisine and introducing fusion dishes to the American palate. Between West Hollywood, Downtown Metro and Culver City, we have chosen some of the most desirable neighborhoods for our tours which represent a cavalcade of tastes and experiences

“Besides a rich and abundant choice of dining opportunities, LA also has a vast selection of local farmers markets, fine food purveyors, wine stores, cheese shops, wine bars and chocolatiers that add to this outstanding food culture”- Joachim Splichal, Master Chef and Founder of The Patina Restaurant Group
