Cult burgers, celebrity chefs and a bar that bans your phone — inside LA’s newest restaurants
Los Angeles is gaining a range of new restaurants, bakeries and bars as its hospitality industry faces widespread closures. The openings span neighbourhood eateries and celebrity-chef ventures, while a secretive bar’s phone ban and immersive Mexican-themed setting offer a more unusual draw.
Little Sister opened a Beverly Center location on 30 October, and Nancy Silverton’s live-fire Italian steakhouse Spacca Tutto is planned for the reopened Palisades Village. KYU is due to open on 20 November, while new spots include family-run Mama Quach’s Kitchen, burger chain Gott’s Roadside in Santa Monica, and Brazilian-Italian restaurant Briciola. Gilbert Pérez Bar enforces a no-smartphone rule; a French-inspired bakery near Santa Monica Airport has drawn waits of up to 45 minutes, and Birdie G’s has reopened at the Fairmont Century Plaza.
In short
- LA is adding new restaurants and bars amid hospitality closures.

- A new bakery near Santa Monica Airport has drawn waits of up to 45 minutes.
