After three years of being hosted in the spring, the summer edition of Dine LA is back with a vengeance. (The restaurant week itself is in its 17th year.) Running from July 25 to August 8, over 300 eateries will provide special prix fixe lunch and dinner menus running from $15 to $65-plus, with plenty of meal deals involved. This summer, you’ll find scattered among the biannual restaurant week’s dizzying full list of menus more than a handful of L.A.’s best restaurants, as well as our plenty of fresh new faces, offering their signature dishes at a more budget-friendly price point.
Not interested in hunting through the list? We’ve scoured the lineup and found our favorite Dine LA lunch, brunch and dinner deals, from upscale date night spots to cozy family-style feasts. Though we’ve found that the discounts have shrunk in recent years, we found the best Dine LA menus that provide the most bang for your buck in terms of quality, price and portion size. Read on, fire up your Resy and OpenTable accounts, and enjoy!
July 2025: Amid ongoing immigration raids, a slowdown in the entertainment industry and continuing economic recovery efforts from the January wildfires, it’s no surprise that it was particularly hard for me to find great deals this Dine LA season. Two of L.A.’s best restaurants, Soban and Damian, are offering meal deals; but longtime Dine LA favorites like Cabra and A.O.C. Brentwood are sadly shutting their doors this summer. This update includes new pricing and menu information for 2025, plus new additions Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai and Lasung House. I’ve also removed any deals that are no longer being offered, places that have raised prices (such that they’re no longer deals) or restaurants that have declined in overall quality. If you have the means to do so, please go out and support L.A. restaurants this summer, through Dine LA or otherwise! The industry really needs the business.
