 Food Scene Los Angeles

LListeners hungry for the next big bite, let’s turn our gaze to Los Angeles, a city where culinary boundaries dissolve quicker than a snowflake on Sunset Boulevard. In September 2025, the dining landscape sparkles with fresh arrivals and flavor innovations that prove why L.A. remains the country’s most exciting gourmand playground.

Step first into Bar Bacetti in Echo Park, the intimate new sibling to Bacetti Trattoria, where the atmosphere is all cozy banquettes, local art, and dog-friendly outdoor people-watching. Here, the exclusive pizzas—a mushroom and sausage beauty, a vibrant margherita—draw passionate crowds, but it’s the playful aperitivo nibbles and spritzes like the Sophia (lambrusco, port, heirloom orange soda) that turn an afternoon into an event. Channeling the Italian *arte dello spuntino*, the bar rewards the curious: order a wine-based cocktail and you’ll receive a complimentary snack—think Castelvetrano olives with orange zest, inviting even the most reserved guests to let loose.

Over in Chinatown, Café Tondo transforms the former Oriel space with a cheerful, Bogotá- and Mexico City-inspired energy. Chef Valeria Velásquez, wielding influences from Colombia to Copenhagen, dazzles with oversized conchas dipped in rich Abuelita’s hot chocolate by morning, then spicy chicken milanesa and sparkling vermouth spritz by sunset. Each bite feels like a postcard from somewhere sun-kissed and cosmopolitan—a testament to L.A.’s global embrace and knack for comfort.

For a dual encounter, food lovers head to Century City, where Casa Dani by Spanish Michelin-starred chef Dani García joins hands with Katsuya, overseen by sushi master Katsuya Uechi. Casa Dani’s modern Mediterranean, boasting vibrant vegetable paellas and octopus carpaccio, glows beside the classic Japanese innovations next door—think toro tartare and A5 wagyu tataki. The venues meld seamlessly, but listeners are left with distinct culinary memories, and a powerful view of the Beverly and Hollywood Hills to relish between courses.

Of course, a food tour of 2025 L.A. isn’t complete without nodding to the trailblazers. Gilbert Cetina redefines coastal Mexican seafood at Holbox, an iconic mariscos stand in Mercado La Paloma recently celebrated for its Michelin star and James Beard nomination. Meanwhile, in Westchester, Tomat offers a genre-blurring menu of Persian, Japanese, and British influences, each dish carefully built on hyper-local ingredients—spot prawn tartare with torched avocado, saffron-laced tahdig, and a farmers’ market bounty that speaks to Southern California’s agricultural strengths.

What ties these kitchens together isn’t just ambition, but the city’s inimitable mix: local farms, multicultural heritage, and a creative intensity found nowhere else. Los Angeles is a city that cooks with the world, yet remains unmistakably itself—sun-drenched, curious, and deliciously unpredictable. That’s why any food lover with a pulse isn’t just watching L.A.—they’re making reservations..
