Best Restaurants for Celebrity Spotting in Los Angeles
11. Delilah
Stars and models, including Kendall Jenner and Drake, party like Gatsby at Art Deco-themed Delilah restaurant in West Hollywood. If you can get past the velvet rope, you’ll enjoy sophisticated cocktails and luxe supper club fare.
12. The Ivy
Fairfax District, Los Angeles, CA
Despite the sky-high prices and long wait for a (patio) seat, The Ivy is always a scene for the see-and-want-to-be-seen crowd. The outdoor patio on Robertson Boulevard — surrounded by that famed white picket fence — is the primo spot for people-watching, which always includes B-listers and sometimes includes celebs who want to be snapped by the paps. (JLo, Sofia Vergara, Simon Cowell, we’re talking about you.)
13. Matsuhisa
Despite the unassuming decor, the innovative Japanese cuisine at Matsuhisa is more than impressive. So it only makes sense that celebrities like Heidi Klum and Cameron Diaz want to get in on the culinary action.
14. Mr. Chow
It might not be the best Chinese food in town, but celebs head to this Beverly Hills mainstay for old-school Chinese fare and an old Hollywood movers-and-shakers atmosphere. The main room is where all the action and people-watching goes on, but celebs like Madonna, Jamie Foxx, Al Pacino and Mariah Carey often prefer the private dining areas.
15. Nobu Malibu
Nobu Malibu is a stylish link in chef Nobu Matsuhisa‘s global chain of upscale sushi spots. The oceanside setting and fusion cuisine attracts a hip, star-studded crowd such as Rihanna and Kendall Jenner.
16. Osteria Mozza
Melrose/Fairfax, Los Angeles, CA
Osteria Mozza offers regional Italian dishes and an all-Italian wine list. Its dark decor creates a New York City atmosphere, drawing in celebrities like JLo, Jennifer Aniston and Charlize Theron.
17. The Palm
Having closed its original West Coast location in West Hollywood that opened back in 1975, The Palm steakhouse moved on to Beverly Hills. A 90210 address always adds prestige, not that the iconic restaurant needed it. Gwyneth Paltrow and Larry King have been counted as clientele.
18. The Polo Lounge
A Beverly Hills legend since 1941, The Polo Lounge is where to go for a (pricey) taste of Old Hollywood — whether on the patio or at the bar, you just might end up spying one of the famous patrons. Is that Chris Rock at the next table?
19. PUMP Restaurant
Owned by Lisa Vanderpump of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,” Pump has a whimsical, upscale ambiance with twinkling lights, crystals and overarching trees. You might just spot stars like Lady Gaga amidst the glitzy decor.
20. Rao’s
The Los Angeles location of famed New York Rao’s Italian restaurant offers its fair share of celeb sightings — Owen Wilson, Drew Barrymore and Marisa Tomei have all been spotted here.
