14 Days Of Delish: A Guide To DineLA's Restaurant Week 2014
What is dineL.A. Restaurant Week?
dineL.A.'s Summer 2014 Restaurant Week (July 14-27, 2014) is bound to be the best one yet with over 300 restaurants taking part. Twice yearly, Los Angeles restaurants create specially priced, prix-fixe tasting menus for lunch ($15/$20/$25) and/or dinner ($25/$35/$45). Spanning over 14 incredibly delicious days, dineL.A. Restaurant Week does a wonderful job premiering chefs and eateries while celebrating the culinary diversity Los Angeles has to offer.
Throughout the week, guests are able to sample signature dishes at a fraction of the cost of the conventional menu and explore something new or simply enjoy a tried and true favorite. To explore more about the menu options, visit discoverlosangeles.com/dineLA. Prices vary by restaurant and exclude beverages, tax and gratuity.
Due to the popularity of dineL.A. Restaurant Week, advance reservations are highly recommended. Per the dineL.A. website, walk-ins are welcome, however there is no guarantee walk-ins will be accommodated.
