On July 2016-7, 18, Los Angeles Restaurant Week DineLA is back.

It's a delicious and cost-effective festival for Los Angeles foodies: with special selections of $95/lunch $15, $20, $25/ dinner $29, $39, $49 fixed prices, tasting the restaurant’s specially designed restaurant week menu is a good way to experience your favorite restaurant Opportunity is also a good opportunity to run a meal appointment.

If you are a veteran bacon-level foodie who has been in Los Angeles for many years, you may have been familiar with more than 300 participating restaurants, and you have no patience to browse the menu of each restaurant; if you are a fresh meat-level foodie who just came to Los Angeles, hope Looking at the list of restaurants on the website that can’t reach the end, the entangled mood is like thinking "Song Zhongji or Hu Ge is the choice for the male vote", Xinghuo and sorrow...

In the spirit of foodie helpfulness (fan zheng shi ni fat) lol, the foodie squad first browsed the food restaurant for the summer of 2016.All restaurantsAnd the published menu, combining the author’s previous restaurant weekpersonal experienceOr during the non-restaurant week's dining experience at this restaurant, summed up this year's special strategy for restaurant week: 1. Mine first, If a restaurant is usually not tasty, can you expect it to be tasty during restaurant week? 2. Assist everyoneCost-effectiveEat delicious food without spending money.

Minesweeper

1. 2016年餐厅周时间为7月18日-7月31日，但这并不代表所有参加餐厅周的餐厅在这期间的所有午餐和晚餐都有DineLA菜单。

For example, Fig & Olive (Melrose Place), one of Chun Yu’er’s favorites, only $25 LunchMonday to FridayParticipating in the restaurant week event was not like this last year (Sang Xin). Please take a closer look when you eat the goods.

2. On the weekly menu of the steakhouse Steakhouse...is possible...No steak, Did not tease you!

The picture above is the Dine LA menu at The Grill on the Alley Steakhouse.In addition, there are 7 main dishes on the Monton's The Steakhouse dinner menu, but only one is steak.This tooSignature dishes are not necessarily on the Dine LA menuReason.

3. Is restaurant week really cheaper? ?Of course...not necessarily!

In some conscience restaurants, the restaurant week is the opportunity to experience $$$$ at the price of $$, but in most restaurants, the restaurant week only saves money for a dessert or first dish. It’s good to save as much as you can.

But some restaurants, for exampleBroken SpanishUsually, restaurants with a per capita of $30-$60 open at the restaurant's weekly lion $95, and there is no special highlight on the menu, the price/performance ratio is debatable.

and alsoThe RoyceThe restaurant usually costs $60-$80 per capita. I think it’s expensive and unpalatable. During Restaurant Week, a $130 one-person "snatch menu" is launched. I just want to say "shameless".

Patina Restaurant A Dinner author of $95 is also not recommended. There are too few choices on the menu. If you add $15 water pairings, etc., it is better to go to order more freely.

4. Is the restaurant week a good opportunity to bring the (撩) sister (Han)? ? ? Selection is important to the restaurant_^*

E.g,Kazu NoriIt is a Japanese hand roll shop that I like very much. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is pure.But its DTLA branch is in the form of a Japanese bar.There are only 6 hand rolls and one sashimi on the DineLA menu.If you come on a date, it may happen that you have finished eating the tea before it has cooled completely... Yes, you have finished eating.

There are similarKnuckle & Claw East, Lobster Roll is delicious, but the restaurant is a self-service order form, and it is easy to finish quickly (embarrassed face).

5. When planning the budget, please also pay attention to the additional charges on the menu

Lunch desserts in some restaurants will be charged extra, and the replacement of high-end ingredients will require extra money, as well as alcohol and some drinks are also extra charges.

Another hidden thing is the Brazilian BBQ buffetGround fireThe restaurant's weekly dinner price is $49 per person, usually around $61 per person. but! When you go to dinner in the restaurant week, after sitting down, the waiter will hold a picture of appetizing meat and tell you that the price of DineLA is $49. You can’t eat the above four kinds of meat. If you add $10 to upgrade, then You can eat all kinds of grilled meat. I don’t know how many real foodies can hold me. I say No, thanks.

1. Select a restaurant. Official website of DineLA eventDineLARestaurantWeek/discoverlosangelesCheck out the favorite restaurants, menus, prices and time of participating restaurants week. Don’t forget that some restaurants may not participate in DineLA on weekends, and pay attention to the additional charges that may be on the menu.

2. Prelocator. Compared to booking on the restaurant's official website or using OpenTable, Chunyuer is more recommendedCall the restaurant directly to book. Because when you make a call, you can choose the seat more automatically and make special requests: the view/sea ​​view restaurant wants a seat by the window, two people don’t want to sit on the bar but want to sit on the table, give a friend a birthday and want a birthday candle on the dessert Wait.

3. Enjoy DineLA. After arriving at the restaurant, explain to the restaurant staff that you want to taste the DineLA menu at any time before ordering (such as when you are waiting for a seat or when you want a menu).

4. Weekly tips for restaurants. According to the actual consumer price. Usually it is the price of the set meal + the consumption of alcohol.
