Dine LA Restaurant Week, a twice-yearly celebration of the Los Angeles area’s premier dining destinations, is on now through February 7. The winter event features special prix-fixe menus at 26 Pasadena restaurants, including several Michelin-rated venues, highlighting the region’s diverse culinary experiences.
“Over the past two weeks, our culinary community has stepped up to provide meals to first responders, support those impacted by the wildfires, and offer spaces to reconnect and heal,” organizers said. “Now, it’s our turn to show up for our restaurants and dine out during Dine LA Restaurant Week.”
The initiative combines dining with disaster relief efforts, as Los Angeles Tourism pledges $5 to the American Red Cross for every reservation made. Banc of California has agreed to match these donations, potentially contributing up to $100,000 for wildfire relief efforts as part of the City’s recovery plan.
Participating restaurants offer deliciously diverse cuisine options including American, Steakhouse, Italian, Mexican, Japanese, French, Asian, and Californian. Lunch prices range from $15 at Mercado Pasadena to $55 at Sushi Roku, while dinner menus span from $25 at Nha Trang Vietnamese Cuisine to $65 and above at premium venues. Many locations offer outdoor dining options.
The event requires no tickets or passes. Diners can simply visit participating restaurants and request the Dine LA Restaurant Week menu to try new dishes or enjoy favorites. But advance reservations are strongly recommended due to anticipated demand.
All participating venues are offering dine-in service only for the Winter 2025 event. Prices exclude beverages, tax, and gratuity, allowing diners to customize their experience while supporting local restaurants and charitable causes through their participation.
