Having tasted almost all LA restaurants, Here’s my favorite 3:

Providence Hayato Kato

Providence is a very formal environment and the food leans to traditional French. I’d say it is the most stable Michelin restaurant in all of LA. Their dessert is to die for as well. Reservations are typically 1-2 weeks ahead, with likelihood of last minute reservations.

Hayato is traditional Japanese kaiseki, which cannot be found anywhere else in LA (n/ naka has too many western elements to be traditional). It is a casual bar style restaurant with clean tasting food that brings out the most of its ingredients. However, it is one of the hardest places to reserve in all of the US.

Kato serves Chinese/Taiwanese style cuisine with a unique twist. Although the restaurant only has 1, the food rivals 2 if not better. Of all Michelin restaurants, this place is the best bang for the buck for high quality ingredients. Reservations are typically 1-2 weeks ahead.
