The Getty, Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and more have dining experiences on par with its exhibitions<\/p>\n

Named after the entertainment legend Fanny Brice, a role that earned Barbra Streisand her first Oscar in 1968\u2019s Funny Girl, Fanny\u2019s merges old Hollywood charm with the contemporary spirit of the Academy Museum\u2019s futuristic vibe. The menu tips its cap to Tinseltown history through dishes named after classic films\u00a0and movie characters (consider the Gone with the Chicken Caesar and Cool Hand Wellington with portobello mushrooms), while diners gather in red booths.\u00a06067 Wilshire Blvd., Mid-Wilshire\u00a0fannysla.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Restaurant at the Getty is more than just a stunning showcase for the Santa Monica mountains (though the space\u2019s expansive floor-to-ceiling windows may have you believe otherwise). Located near the entrance to the campus\u2019 Getty Research Institute, The Restaurant embraces the best of Golden State advantages, resulting in a hyper-seasonal menu paired with vibrant blue skies (or, depending on the time you dine, gorgeous sunsets).\u00a01200 Getty Center Drive, Brentwood,\u00a0getty.edu<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

After exploring\u00a0The Huntington\u2019s\u00a0130 acres\u00a0of botanical gardens (or robust art and library collections), a reservation for its tearoom extends the day of absorbing beautiful sights into a tangible experience. Sourcing ingredients from its own garden and serving house-made scones, the Rose Garden Tea Room service dazzles\u00a0with\u00a0classic tea sandwiches and sweet bites, while still catering to eaters of all kinds through special menus for vegan, gluten-free and child eaters. For a grand afternoon, opt for the Huntington Tea menu that also comes with a glass of sparkling wine and poached Maine lobster roll.\u00a0\u00a01151 Oxford Road, San\u00a0Marino,\u00a0huntington.org<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Getty Villa \u2014 home to Greek and Roman art and antiquities \u2014 serves weekend afternoon tea that, as you might guess, is inspired by the past. The service melds the memory of its tearoom that closed in 1997 with the Villa\u2019s recreation of first-century Roman gardens for an experience that is\u00a0equal\u00a0parts elegant and tranquil. Offering seasonal dishes, visitors can expect quintessential afternoon tea morsels like scones,\u00a0sandwiches\u00a0and desserts.\u00a017985 Pacific Coast Highway, Pacific Palisades,\u00a0getty.edu<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nodding to the Meyers Manx original dune buggy, the Petersen Automotive Museum fuels visitors with breakfast and lunch in a dining room characterized by Baja California and \u201960s beach culture influences. Guests are routinely satisfied by SoCal favorites, like the breakfast burrito made with tater tots and shrimp tacos topped by mango salsa, but\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0also enjoy the bar\u2019s output of coffee beverages and cocktails.\u00a0\u00a06060 Wilshire\u00a0Blvd.,\u00a0Mid-Wilshire,\u00a0meyersmanxcafe.com<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Getty, Academy Museum of Motion Pictures and more have dining experiences on par with its exhibitions These…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":606221,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,249108,133775,2961,224,5337,8160,988,127001],"class_list":["post-606220","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-february-2026","tag-getty","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-museums","tag-restaurants","tag-the-huntington"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116109642615558699","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606220","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606220"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606220\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606221"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606220"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606220"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606220"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
