39 Santa Monica Restaurants To Try During Dine LA Restaurant Week

SANTA MONICA, CA — Eat up, Santa Monica: The region's twice-annual Dine LA Restaurant Week returned Friday with special menus — and prices — at hundreds of local restaurants over the next 15 days.

The lineup includes 39 eateries in Santa Monica offering special prix fixe lunch and/or dinner menus at a range of price points from $15 to $65+. Countywide, there are some 400 participating restaurants representing 30 global cuisines, according to Dine LA.

“You can get anything from tacos to Thai food to a Michelin-rated meal,” Stacey Sun, executive director of Dine LA told the Los Angeles Daily News. “Dine LA provides a way for people to explore new neighborhoods and go to that restaurant that’s always been on your list.”

Dine LA runs from Jan. 24 to Feb. 7.

As the region recovers from the recent wildfires, Dine LA producer LA Tourism will donate $5 to the American Red Cross for each reservation made through the Dine LA website, with a match from Banc of California, for a total donation of up to $100,000, organizers said.
