Dine LA Restaurant Week 2026

For the last 18 years, L.A.’s most exciting periods for foodies have come courtesy of Dine LA, a biannual, days-long stretch where old favorites and new finds offer prix-fixe menus. In 2026, you’ll find much of the same as in Dine LA restaurant weeks past, with plenty of stellar meal deals and limited-time bang-for-your-buck menus. That being said, the specifics are ever in flux since the L.A. dining scene is hardly static, and we've lost a lot of longtime Dine LA faves in the last few months.
