Since 2019, The Times has chosen restaurants that transcend trends of the moment to induct into the 101 Hall of Fame. These are places that have become part of the fabric of Los Angeles and define what it means to eat and live in Southern California. See which restaurants entered the Hall of Fame in 2024.
Each year, the L.A. Times also highlights the places our critics love as much for the committed people who run them as for the pleasures to be found in their glasses, stemware, mugs and cups. These are the bars, wine shops, tea spots and coffee shops that are integral parts of our exceptional restaurant scene.
