While you were busy eating holiday ham, latkes, and brisket last month, there were tons of great new restaurants throwing open their doors to help you continue your feasting into the new year. You’ll want to hit all of them, including a major French import, a new installment from the Drago family (some of LA’s best-known restaurateurs), and a high-end NY-based sushi spot. These are the best new LA openings you may have missed due to the holidays.
LADURÉE
Mid-Wilshire
This French import is known for its macarons, which explains why its bakery case has already drawn a long line whipping all the way towards the Grove’s parking lot. There’s also a separate cafe both inside and out that’s serving classic French lunch and dinner options, including omelets and frisée salads. Since you can also snag dessert at the table, just skip the bakery line entirely and head for the full meal.
