The Best Restaurants in Los Gatos, by the Record
The best restaurants in Los Gatos, by the professional record: Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Dio Deka comes out on top.

Rank 1. Dio Deka
Greek
A roaring fireplace anchors the stylish dining room, and the vine-covered patio fills with Los Gatos's well-dressed set on warm evenings. This is upscale Greek fine dining, not a whitewashed taverna, and the kitchen earns the distinction by staying Greek: stuffed grape leaves with braised beef cheek, a list of Greek wines worth exploring, and a burnt-honey mousse that makes skipping dessert feel unwise.

Rank 1. Vicinity
Modern New American
A tasting menu tucked into the back of a wine bar, which is either a charming origin story or a logistical surprise depending on how you find it. The chef draws on a Lower East Side upbringing and California foraging in equal measure, and the cooking threads those two worlds together with enough visual ambition that the plate sometimes outshines the bite. The ingredients are strong enough to hold it all up.
