Beginning tomorrow, Dine LA is back. Now in its 17th year, L.A.\u2019s biggest restaurant week offers prix-fixe menus starting from $15 per person, though many places now opt to offer menus in the priciest, wide-ranging category: $65 and above. For the next two weeks, Angelenos can score a handful of small discounts at restaurants across the city, including a few of what I consider the city\u2019s best restaurants<\/a>. For those who were going to splurge anyway, you can even score a two-Michelin-star meal at a $75 discount over at M\u00e9lisse<\/a> in Santa Monica.<\/p>\n

For all of those hunting for an actual bargain, I\u2019ve found 17 different places across Los Angeles that I\u2019d consider a good deal,<\/a> in one way or another. My personal favorites include the pair of $25 and $35 meal deals from Koreatown\u2019s\u00a0Soban<\/a>, home to L.A.\u2019s best soy-marinated crab and one of the best banchan selections in the city. (Any genuine lover of Korean cuisine knows that the complimentary side dishes provided with your meal are one of the best representations of a given restaurant\u2019s true culinary capabilities.) Did I mention Soban is also one of the\u00a0city\u2019s best restaurants<\/a>?\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another truly great option is the $65 prix-fixe menu from the Girl & the Goat<\/a> in the Arts District, which includes five family-style dishes and a matcha tres leches with rhubarb-strawberry sorbet for dessert. While Top Chef alum Stephanie Izard\u2019s globally inspired small plates restaurant often gets overlooked with all the other amazing options in the destination restaurant-heavy neighborhood, the Dine LA menu might just remind you why this brick-lined, plant-filled restaurant is a great option to keep in your back pocket for your next night\u00a0out in greater Downtown L.A.<\/p>\n

Until Somni reopened last November and upstaged all other restaurants<\/a> in West Hollywood (it also recently got three Michelin stars<\/a>!), Ardor<\/a> was my top dining pick in the city-neighborhood, and it\u2019s also participating in Dine LA. The swanky hotel restaurant inside the West Hollywood EDITION offers a vegetable-forward menu within its cinematic dining room and verdant outdoor patio. The $65 prix-fixe menu nets you the eatery\u2019s signature tomato-topped milk bread, plus your choice of Spanish octopus or tandoor carrots as an appetizer. For mains, choose between skirt steak, king crab tagliatelle or Ardor\u2019s standout sweet potato curry. While I\u2019ve yet to personally try the chocolate espresso torte on Ardor\u2019s Dine LA menu, I\u2019ve loved every dessert I\u2019ve tried at the restaurant, so it\u2019s likely a safe bet as well.<\/p>\n

Finally, I\u2019d like to recommend bookmarking two restaurants that have yet to release their Dine LA menus: Mr. T <\/a>in Hollywood and Sushi Kisen<\/a>\u00a0in Arcadia. Both restaurants will be offering menus in the $65 and over category. Mr. T offers R\u00e9publique alum Alisa Vannah\u2019s rendition of modern Parisian cuisine. Co-owned by music mogul Jay-Z (whose offices are located upstairs), it\u2019s one of the best French restaurants in the city, with a gorgeous patio full of string lights and a fire pit.<\/p>\n

As for Sushi Kisen, the San Gabriel Valley sushi restaurant is one of my favorite places for sushi<\/a> in L.A. County. Even on a regular day, the omakase at the counter is a relative bargain. Despite the fact it takes over an hour for me to drive there in normal traffic, I spent my birthday weekend shlepping to Arcadia for the restaurant\u2019s second anniversary kaisendon, which came topped with blue crab, ikura, sea urchin and shrimp. The set also came with a side of marinated sashimi. While Sushi Kisen has yet to publish its Dine LA menu, you can rest assured that whatever they\u2019re offering will be a steal in terms of fish quality and overall value.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s true that the vast majority of Dine LA prix-fixe menus aren\u2019t really deals anymore, these handful of options will be more than enough to keep you happy during the summer edition.
