List of Michelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles and Southern California

Last updated

This article contains a complete list of Michelin-starred restaurants in Los Angeles and Southern California . Michelin published restaurant guides for Los Angeles in 2008 and 2009 but suspended the publication in 2010. [1] Publication of the guide would resume in 2019 but now covered all of California in one guide. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and wildfires in California, the French tire company's restaurant guide took a hiatus in 2020. [2]
