The Top 11 Places to Eat and Drink in West Hollywood
-
Rank 1. Somni
Spanish
Chef Aitor Zabala has restored Somni into a Catalan dream of meticulous small plates—mussel escabeche, gazpacho, shiso tartare tempura—where kitchen and service move in perfect synchrony. The hushed dining room, anchored by a colorful bull's head, channels Spain through endless textural invention and restrained elegance.

Rank 6. Ardor
Californian New American
The dining room at Ardor inhabits the aesthetic of a high-end spa—cushy white velvet, verdant walls, and an air of unhurried luxury that mirrors its parent hotel. A vegetable-forward menu pivots between clean, bright plates like tandoor carrots and dukkah-crusted tuna, and richer indulgences like dry-aged lamb and tempura onion rings.

Rank 7. Connie and Ted's
Seafood
A West Hollywood seafood shack with East Coast soul: wild Atlantic and Pacific catches, a raw bar, shell-strewn lot, and maritime clutter that feels earned rather than staged. The chowder flight and butter-heavy lobster roll are anchors, but the grilled daily fish—simple, cold platters for groups—reveals the kitchen's restraint.
