Ten places, one downtown habit: in Los Angeles dinner is the plan for the evening, not a stop along the way. The range runs from a sandwich counter to a dining room in the sky, so read it by how much occasion you want. Philippe The Original and Eggslut are counter-and-tray affairs \u2014 order, carry it, sit down. R\u00e9publique runs caf\u00e9-style by day and turns candlelit after dark. Bestia and Girl & the Goat Los Angeles are the loud shared-plate dinners you book a week ahead, while Perch and 71Above put the skyline on the table and expect you to dress for it.<\/p>\n

Then choose by the shape of the day. A morning that has to go well belongs to Eggslut inside Grand Central Market or the pastry case at R\u00e9publique \u2014 both open early, as do Philippe The Original and Perch, which serves weekend brunch on its terrace. For an unhurried lunch with conversation, Maccheroni Republic keeps a hedged garden patio a few steps off the market crowds, and Holbox sends out Yucatecan seafood from a market-hall counter. When you want energy instead of quiet, JOEY DTLA keeps a big ground-level patio humming midweek.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n
