Discovering the Food Scene in Beverly Hills: Best Restos & Cafes

If you live in California’s most renowned zip code, you will have access not only to top shopping experiences, gorgeous parks, and some of the most luxurious health and wellness establishments in the world, but you’ll also be able to choose from a seemingly endless list of wonderful restaurants. Whether you seek a world-renowned eatery headed by a celebrity chef or a trendy fusion restaurant with unexpected flavors and flair at every turn, you won’t be disappointed when you dine out in Beverly Hills. Here are some of the musts when you’re making your itinerary for amazing food in Beverly Hills

Steak 48 Beverly Hills 

9680 Wilshire Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

 

If attentive personal service, world-class steaks, and an inviting modern atmosphere sound appealing to you, Steak 48 Beverly Hills is the place to go. Put on your evening wear (Steak 48 has a dress code to ensure everyone has a memorable experience), and get ready to be wowed as you sip on a California Citrus martini or Basil Cucumber Limeade. Once your table is ready, take your seat and start with an appetizer of Pacific yellowtail hamachi, Wagyu beef tartare, or chicken fried lobster tails. Follow this up with an heirloom tomato salad or colossal shrimp cocktail before diving into a main entree of filet mignon, bone-in KC strip enhanced with a crab cake, or crispy shrimp served with creamy mac and cheese. Finish your meal with a slice of triple-layer key lime pie or a cookies and cream popcorn sundae.  

The Hideaway 

421 N Rodeo Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

 

If you want a walk-in restaurant that serves approachable Mexican food for lunch, dinner, and late-night fare, you’ll love The Hideaway. Tucked into a bustling retail development, The Hideaway will make you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden gem. Stroll in for a three-course prix fixe lunch of corn empanadas for course one, short rib enchiladas for course two, and flan with lime zest for course three. Or, stop in from 3-6 pm for a happy hour Poblano Escobar drink and Wagyu flautas. Ready for a delicious dinner? The Hideaway has you covered here, too. Start with some chips and guac or crispy cauliflower, followed by grilled swordfish with mango slaw or a lobster avocado salad and a Paloma or margarita to drink

Nate n’ Al’s

414 N Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

 

Though you may think that every restaurant in this area is as swanky as the zip code, you can actually find plenty of food in Beverly Hills that is fast, casual, and a great bang for your buck. If a traditional deli that serves impressive pastrami and corned beef alongside delicious breakfast items is on your wish list, you need to make time to eat at Nate n’ Al’s.

 

Started by partners Nate Rimer and Al Mendelson in 1945, this iconic deli focuses on quality ingredients and personal service that has garnered them a loyal fan base. Get your day started off right with a bagel n’lox, breakfast burrito, or French toast, or stop for a satisfying midday meal of chicken pot pie, turkey pastrami, or patty melt served with potato salad, fries, or onion rings. Nat n’ Al’s also serves up some deliciously sweet treats like chocolate cream pie, black & white cookies, and apple pie. Nate n’ Al’s also has a kid’s menu and a curated wine and beer menu.

Avra Esiatorio 

233 N Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

 

With successful locations operating in New York for more than 15 years, the traditional Greek restaurant Avra Esiatorio has expanded into Miami and Beverly Hills. Focused on fresh seafood and innovative side dishes that blend traditional Greek recipes with a modern twist, this popular restaurant is redefining Greek cuisine. For lunch, start with a Greek salad or fish souvlaki followed by tuna nicoise or Faroe Islands salmon. Headed here for dinner? You can look forward to apps of grilled halloumi, grilled octopus, and traditional hummus, along with entrees of wild Bronzino, New Zealand snapper, and lobster pasta complemented with a side of savory braised giant lima beans, truffle fries, or couscous salad. Avra Esiatorio also boasts an extensive wine list, fantastic craft cocktails, and Greek, domestic, and imported beers.

Maude 

212 S Beverly Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90212

 

Named after chef Curtis Stone’s paternal grandmother, Maude opened in Beverly Hills in 2014 and remains one of the most popular tasting restaurants in the area. A truly unique experience, Maude offers a nine-course menu in their intimate 24-seat restaurant where you can get glimpses of the chefs hard at work in the kitchen. The ever-changing menu is focused on fresh, local ingredients and may feature dishes like squash and caviar, Wolfe Ranch quail, abalone and rice, and carrot cake. Each tasting menu also comes with a wine pairing (either classic or reserve), or you can choose wine, beer, or non-alcoholic drinks by the glass. To add to the unforgettable experience, diners are invited upstairs for the final courses to enjoy the restaurant’s wine loft. Featuring classic vinyl, a piano, and thousands of bottles of vintage wine, this is the perfect environment to end your meal.

 

Spago 

176 N Canon Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210

 

You simply can’t talk about food in Beverly Hills without mentioning Wolfgang Puck’s flagship restaurant Spago. Found along Canon Drive, Spago has long been the epitome of fine dining in the neighborhood and remains one of the most popular dining destinations. If you’d like a light bite and a cocktail, you can sit in the front bar and enjoy your meal. However, the full California tasting menu is the true star of the show, featuring courses like black-label beluga caviar, Liberty Farms duck breast and a truffle-scented farm egg.
