The 10 Best Modern European Restaurants in Los Angeles, California

Here is a review from an user.

You don't need me to tell you this place is good - just Google search this place and you'll find plenty of others spouting it's praises. Great ambiance, fantastic service, and the food - oh my lord the food! Brought my girlfriend here for our anniversary. We had the steak tartare for an app and it was really delicious. For Entree, she had the surf and turf - steak cooked to perfection, great lobster tail and veggies with a truffle mashed potatoes. I had the truffle risotto which we both are still talking about. It's was magical. Everything about this place is great - oh, make sure to treat yourself to their Moroccan Mint Tea. Amazing stuff!

First of all, this may be the last great supper club. So, enjoy. And the milieu is second to none in downtown L.A., cousin to the fabulous Biltmore Hotel only steps away. It's deluxe, delicious, divine. The areas best musicians and renowned accomplished musicians accompanied by primo cuisine and service. How can you beat it. The M.C., Maxwell, embodies its sensational esprit.

I was looking for a cafe to ear breakfast when I came across this deli. Service was really really good! Food was delicious! I ordered a breakfast burrito and a pecan bar. Good price too!

Kendall's is the best place to go after work in Downtown LA for Happy Hour or just to hang with friends. It is also a great bar for anyone going to a show at the Music Center. Having dinner there is the best. They start serving dinner right at 5 so you can easily make it to your performance at the Music Center. The staff knows curtain time and will make sure you have plenty of time to get where you are going. If you are not going to a show it is one of the best places for fine dinning in Downtown LA. The menu is not huge, but everything on it is perfect. We have been a few times now and are working our way though the menu as well as the starters. The staff is great and so very professional. They will take super good care of you. They check on you often and they know the menu well. This latest time we tried their chicken dish which was amazing. It is a chicken breast, large, with crispy skin. Under that is fingerling potatoes, tomatoes and other great things, all in an amazing broth. We had to have their mussels, shrimp and other seafood in a rich broth again. It is my grandson's favorite and boy do you get a lot of seafood. They just introduced a new Caesar salad, which might not sound like much, but it is truly the best Caesar salad I have ever had. It has this dressing that is just amazing and the Romine is so fresh and crisp. It also has kale on it, which my grandson took great care to remove--but he sure loved the rest of it as did I. It also has some anti pasto meats. We tried their nuts for the first time. They come baked and in a little bowl with seasoning on them and they are fantastic. I never though I would order that as a starter, but it will now be ordered by us whenever we go. Their truffle fries are great and we love their coffee. Get their bread as well. It is worth it. Their desserts are great, the best being their chocolate pot, which is so tasty. You will love this place.

My friends and I accidentally stumbled into this amazing gem on our way back to the hotel after a late lunch. Prioritize a visit when in DTLA, you will not be disappointed. Their GM Clayton was so welcoming as this was their first day reopening. We ordered delicious cocktails: Brock &Co., and the Smoking Pot. They are meticulous about their drinks and presentation. The vibe is stunning, and very welcoming. We will be back for their pizza later. The couple next to us raved about the pizza. The team brought us complimentary chilled castelvetrano olives that were amazing followed by Nutella Dream dessert. Wow!!! Music was on point and everyone on their team seem happy and proud to be there. This place keeps on giving? Take your time to look at the artwork, the furniture, the aesthetic is brilliant. Will be back. Thank you!

Love the egg benedict! The decor and atmosphere is so nice and so is the food. Latte is also great and the barista is friendly. Would definitely go again to try some more of their dishes 🍳🤍

WOW…a flavor explosion! Modern, hipster hidden gem in Culver City! High quality, inventive dishes that will blow your mind! Highly recommend! On this visit we tried the French toast, which was epic and huge, the berry coconut yogurt and the smoked salmon with Icelandic bread. Everything was delicious, fresh and of exceptional quality!

I’ve never been to Great White - this restaurants’ bigger sister to compare but I loved my time at Gran Blanco. We got here around am for brunch and it wasn’t too busy at all for a Sunday. The only difficult thing is finding cheap parking nearby. The service was very friendly and everything they recommended that we ordered was delicious. The cocktails are also very tasty! Just have to warn that the portions are on the smaller side so if you’re hungry I wouldn’t go for the fish tacos or ceviche. The French toast was delicious and very rich. I definitely would recommend to share this as a dessert with a friend. All in all perfect experience at a very pretty and vibey spot in Venice Beach.

Outstanding evening!! We thoroughly enjoyed this iconic West Hollywood restaurant. I've always been a lover of French cuisine and found the food here to be exceptional. The food was fresh and delicious. The seafood bouillabaise was pure perfection!! Exquisite flavors. Did I mention perfection? I'm difficult to please with this particular dish and am constantly in search of the best version. This is it!! Our cocktails were well crafted, delicious libations! Our evening felt relaxed, unpressured for table turnover. We enjoyed a great vibe, deep conversation, and fun people watching. We found the prices to be fair and normal for the quality of food served. I will definitely dine here again!!

I came here with Off The Menu and had this delicious eggplant toast. The look doesn’t even do it justice on how good this was! It is a pretty new restaurant, the interior and ambience are very nice and sophisticated. The waiter was super nice to us. I will definitely be back to try the regular menu! Thank you so much!

We celebrated a family event in the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon with a lunch menu. The food (starters, main course) was very delicious. Service was great. We had a cake as desert but we received a complementary desert from the manager. Our guests were all satisfied. Thank you.

The menu at Leo & Lily reads like the dream this couple had before bringing it to healthy fruition. Located in Woodland Hills right of the , its conveniently located and easy to pop in and out. We were picking up breakfast to share with friends, and enjoyed an Americano and decaf latte inside while we waited. They are set up for all delivery services and have ample indoor and outdoor seating. We had the Americano breakfast sandwich, one with salad and one with potatoes, and oatmeal with berries and figs. Awesome service!

This restaurant has a wonderful gazeboed dining area covered with flowering bougainvilla (it also has indoor seating). The food is Mediterranean themed, and really delicious, ranging from meat skewers to salads to delicious thin crust pizzas everything in between. The highlight of our night was the dancer and the live music. We had a fantastic time!

Beautiful place in town for afternoon tea. I love the vibe and its beautiful decorations. The food is good too and served with plenty sweet and savory bites. Great service.

I can't say enough good things about this place the staff is very attentive. We went for brunch recently and the endless mimosas really were endless and they filled them very consistently. Happy hour is throughout the entire week and it's not cheap food and cheap drinks in the sense that they are not worth having or not tasty. Everything that is offered during happy hour is really good. The place is casual but it can also be fancy enough for a date night or a group of people looking to have a nice evening. Last time my boyfriend had the lamb shank which he loved and I had the shrimp pesto which is very delicious.

Had an amazing breakfast here! It's in a neat area in Whittier. My mom and I split a goat cheese crepe with chicken sausage, mushrooms, peppers, and onions, and it was so flavorful. There was plenty for the both of us. I also had a rose latte, which had a great balance of flavors. The service was friendly and our food arrived quickly.

This was my first time trying Jambalaya and the Cajun was delicious! I work at Five Guy’s and I never knew fry seasoning would work on this but it hit all the right taste buds :)

Another hidden gem in Cerritos-Artesia area for fusion cuisine especially considering the fact that it a concept restaurant by a qualified chef. A great selection of Vegetarian and Meat tapas plates. We always order their risotto and roasted vegetables. The tapas selections are adequate and spread over. There is definitely a Japanese influence but not overpowering the European twist. Never disappointed. Very friendly service and kept clean. A five star 🌟 experience.

Great dinning experience. My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary. The entire staff was very welcoming. The waiter explained everything that we had ordered, as well as the chef coming by to check up on our food and how we we're liking everything. We were given complimentary salmon roe, champagne and dessert for celebrating our anniversary there. Only thing I would fix- some of the food was a bit salty for my taste. The lamb was phenomenal! As well as all of the other dishes, every flavor complimented each other. We had a great time here!
