Best Contemporary European Restaurants in Bel-Air

We chose Vespertine for our anniversary dinner while visiting Los Angeles from Chicago, and it made the evening feel truly special. The food was outstanding, beautifully executed and genuinely delicious. The service was exactly what you hope for at a Michelin-starred restaurant, without ever feeling stiff or overly formal. The building itself is stunning too. Its architecture makes the entire experience feel unlike any other restaurant. We have been fortunate to dine at many wonderful places over the years, and Vespertine easily ranks among the top 10 most memorable dining experiences we have had. We are already looking forward to coming back the next time we are in LA. Highly recommend.

A classic and classy experience in Santa Monica for over 40 years. Love this place! 

My server, Narcissus, was wonderful! He was professional, warm, genuine, informed, & positively charming! He was very helpful in helping me choose between many delicious sounding entrees…I highly recommend him!

The food and drinks were perfect. Your staff was kind, funny, and helpful.

Hidden gem in North Hollywood. Excellent for date night or groups. Outdoor covered patio with heaters if necessary. Everything we ordered was not only delicious, but had beautiful presentation.
