Los Angeles dines well on a Sunday, but the map has gaps. The marquee tasting rooms close to rest, n/naka and Providence among them, so the city's hardest tables are out. What stays open is a deep middle and top: a two-Michelin-star room that trades on a Sunday, Wolfgang Puck's Beverly Hills original, and the Italian rooms that built the modern LA dining scene. The result is a strong Sunday bench, if you know which doors are open. Six confirm Sunday hours below, ranked by what each is for.
LA's tasting counters mostly close Sunday, but two-star Kato trades. Book it, or Spago and Bestia for an easier night.
Los Angeles has had its own Michelin guide since the California edition launched in 2019, and the stars spread from Beverly Hills to Downtown. The Sunday pattern follows the kitchen: small, chef-driven tasting rooms close on Sunday and Monday to rest, while the larger rooms and the Italian destinations keep Sunday service because the city eats out on a Sunday night. The notable exception is Kato, the two-star Taiwanese-American tasting room, which keeps a Wednesday-to-Sunday week and so trades on a Sunday.
The order leads with the two-star room and the Beverly Hills classic, then runs through the Italian heavyweights of Downtown and Hollywood, and closes with a Venice room for a relaxed coastal Sunday. LA is spread out, so pick by neighbourhood as much as by kitchen, and budget for the drive. Hours are checked against each restaurant's published schedule, and every name links to its full review. For the rest of the week, start with the Los Angeles dining guide.
Sunday hours: Sunday, dinner (seatings, Wed–Sun)
Jonathan Yao cooks a Taiwanese-American tasting menu at Kato in the ROW DTLA complex, and it holds two Michelin stars, the most decorated room on this list. The menu reworks the flavours Yao grew up with, from mantou to aged-fish courses, for around $225 a head. The room is small and the counter is the seat to want. Kato keeps a Wednesday-to-Sunday week, so Sunday is one of its trading nights, and a Sunday booking still needs notice.
Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:00pm–9:30pm
Wolfgang Puck's flagship on Cañon Drive is the room that invented modern California fine dining, and it remains a Michelin-guide fixture with a courtyard at its heart. The smoked-salmon pizza, the Austrian classics like Wiener schnitzel and the seasonal tasting are the order, for around $90 to $160 a head. Sunday dinner runs five to half past nine. It is the Beverly Hills Sunday for a polished, see-and-be-seen dinner with a forty-year track record behind the kitchen.
Sunday hours: Sunday, 6:00pm–11:00pm
Ori Menashe and Genevieve Gergis turned a Downtown warehouse into Bestia, the room that anchored the Arts District dining boom, and the Michelin guide lists it. The house-made charcuterie, the cavatelli alla Norcina and the bone-marrow pasta are the order, for about $60 to $110 a head. Sunday dinner runs six to eleven, late for LA. It books hard, but a Sunday table is more gettable than a Saturday, and it remains one of the best Italian rooms in the country.
Sunday hours: Sunday, dinner (seatings, Tue–Sun)
Majordomo is David Chang's Los Angeles flagship, tucked into a Chinatown-edge industrial pocket, his only standalone restaurant on the West Coast. The bo ssam, the famous "stEak" and the large-format sharing plates are the order, for around $60 to $120 a head. It trades Tuesday to Sunday, so Sunday is a service night. It is the LA Sunday for a group that wants to order big and share, with one of the more interesting wine and sake lists in the city.
Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:00pm–9:30pm
Evan Funke cooks Roman cuisine at Mother Wolf, a grand room in a restored 1920s Hollywood building, all marble and red leather. The hand-made pasta is the point, with the cacio e pepe, the supplì and the carbonara leading, for about $70 to $120 a head. Sunday dinner runs five to half past nine. It is the Hollywood Sunday for serious pasta in a glamorous room, and the bar seats are the easiest Sunday walk-in if the dining room is full.
Sunday hours: Sunday, 5:00pm–10:30pm
Gjelina is the Abbot Kinney room that defined Venice dining, a candle-lit space with a sought-after back garden. The wood-fired pizzas, the charred broccolini and the market-vegetable plates are the order, for around $50 to $80 a head. It trades every day, with Sunday dinner from five to half past ten. It is the relaxed coastal Sunday on this list, a strong choice after a beach afternoon, though the garden tables go first, so book ahead or eat early.
Los Angeles is spread out, so choose your Sunday by neighbourhood. Kato takes its counter on Tock and needs real notice even on a Sunday, the only table here that books weeks ahead. Spago and Mother Wolf hold Sunday availability on Resy and OpenTable into the same week, either an easy Los Angeles first date. Bestia and Majordomo are the group rooms, built for ordering big and sharing, the move for a Los Angeles team dinner. Gjelina is the coastal walk-in, best early on a Sunday before the garden fills. For a quiet solo Sunday, the counter at Kato is the seat to want, a strong solo-dining pick. Budget for the drive between them.
The standout is Kato, the two-Michelin-star Taiwanese-American tasting room at ROW DTLA, which keeps a Wednesday-to-Sunday week and so serves on a Sunday. Spago Beverly Hills and Bestia, both Michelin-guide rooms, also open for Sunday dinner. Many of the city's other starred rooms, including n/naka and Providence, close on Sunday, so Kato is the one to book if a star is the goal.
Yes. Bestia in the Arts District serves dinner every night, with Sunday running from six to eleven, late by LA standards. Ori Menashe's Italian menu, built on house-made charcuterie and pasta like the cavatelli alla Norcina, runs about $60 to $110 a head. It is a hard table any night, but a Sunday booking is more gettable than a Saturday, so reserve on Resy as soon as the window opens.
Kato is the answer. It serves its two-star Taiwanese-American tasting, around $225 a head, on a Sunday as part of its Wednesday-to-Sunday week, where most of the city's other tasting rooms close. The counter is small, so book ahead on Tock. If Kato is full, Majordomo in Chinatown runs a large-format sharing menu on Sunday that delivers a similar sense of occasion without a fixed degustation.
Some are, by Los Angeles standards. Bestia serves until eleven and Gjelina in Venice until half past ten on a Sunday, the latest full kitchens on this list. Spago and Mother Wolf wind down around half past nine. LA is an early-dining city, so a 7pm to 8pm Sunday booking is the safe window if you want a relaxed pace rather than a rush before the kitchen closes.
For the tasting rooms, yes: Kato books weeks ahead even on a Sunday. For the rest, a same-week Sunday booking is usually fine. Spago, Mother Wolf, Majordomo and Gjelina hold Sunday tables on Resy and OpenTable, and all have bar or walk-in options. Bestia is the hardest of the à la carte rooms, so reserve early, but Sunday is easier to land than a weekend night.
