There is tons of fine dining across the country, but when it comes to fine dining at celebrity-owned restaurants, LA takes the cake. Whether you're looking for places to visit in hopes of catching a glimpse of an A-lister or you're simply curious about these high-profile business ventures, here is just a taste of the celebrity-owned eateries in LA.
Let the kids play in the Creative Space while you enjoy a boozy cocktail at Jessica Biel’s family-friendly restaurant, Au Fudge. It is open for brunch, lunch and dinner but the desserts are unbeatable. There’s even a build-your-own sundae bar with a cookie bowl option. The event calendar includes a range of family-fun activities such as toddler French music class and a slumber movie night. 9010 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood
Ryan Gosling, along with chef Ben Benameur and Chris Angulo, opened the Moroccan restaurant Tagine in 2004. According to the restaurant's website, the story goes that when Ryan first tried chef Ben’s food, he told him it was “the food I want to eat for the rest of my life!” There was no restaurant in existence that served his kind of food, so the friends decided to open their own. 132 N Robertson Blvd, Beverly Hills
British actress, author and reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump is also an accomplished restaurateur. Villa Blanca offers elegant Italian fare. The Rustic Bolognese is made with a ground beef and lamb ragu, onion, carrots and fresh shaved Parmesan. Her other establishments are just as ritzy and include Sur Restaurant & Lounge and Pump, which offers a “sexy gay brunch every Saturday and Sunday.” 9601 Brighton Way, Beverly Hills
The Nobu restaurants, with Los Angeles locations in West Hollywood and Malibu, are co-owned by Robert De Niro. While the “cookies and milk” dessert is not a permanent menu item, do yourself a favor and ask if it’s available when you visit. The homemade pistachio milk tastes like heaven. 903 N La Cienega Blvd, West Hollywood
Ago is another of Robert De Niro’s culinary endeavors. He is a co-owner of this Tuscan-influenced eatery with chef Agostino Sciandri. De Niro is said to be a frequent visitor and reportedly drinks a cucumber martini before diving into a plate of spaghetti with scampi. 8478 Melrose Ave, West Hollywood
Eva Longoria owns the romantic Latin restaurant Beso, which translates to “kiss” in Spanish. It’s not only an intimate destination but also a prime hotspot when the DJ starts playing at night. The avocado guacamole and tortilla soup appetizers are even named after Eva herself. Beso is temporarily closed for renovations, and we can't wait to see what Longoria has up her sleeve. 6350 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood
