Dine LA Restaurant Week returns August 14–28, 2026, bringing specially priced lunch and dinner menus to restaurants throughout Los Angeles County. This summer’s lineup includes more than 400 restaurants across 84 neighborhoods, with everything from casual neighborhood spots to destination-worthy dinners.
And the South Bay is making a pretty strong showing.
From Japanese pasta in Redondo Beach and handrolls in El Segundo to steak dinners in Manhattan Beach, Mexican food, Italian classics, tiki drinks, and even a gluten-free bakery lunch, there are plenty of reasons to keep your dining plans local for the next two weeks.
Here’s what to know before you start making reservations.
El Segundo Is a Dine LA Restaurant Crawl
¡Jaime! Taqueria
¡Jaime! Taqueria is bringing its chef-driven California-Mexican approach to Dine LA with a $25 lunch and $35 dinner menu. The Main Street spot is known for its creative guacamole variations and contemporary takes on taqueria classics, making this one a good option when you want something casual without feeling like you just grabbed a quick taco.
Unico Tokyo Pasta
Unico Tokyo Pasta in Redondo Beach and El Segundo is one for the pasta people. The restaurant specializes in Japanese-style wafu pasta, combining Italian pasta techniques with ingredients and flavors like uni, mentaiko, Japanese-style Bolognese, and more.
For Dine LA, they are offering a $25 3-course lunch and dinner, making this an excellent opportunity to try their pasta if you haven’t had the chance!
EZPZ
EZPZ Pizza & Soft-Serve is keeping things considerably more casual with its New York-inspired pizza-and-organic soft-serve combo. The featured menus are coming soon with $15 lunch and dinner menus.
Jame Enoteca
Jame Enoteca is offering a $25 3-course lunch and a $45 3-course dinner Dine LA menu. The Italian spot’s current lineup includes plenty of the dishes that have made it a South Bay favorite, with pasta playing a starring role.
With Dine LA, guests can try amazing dishes such as tonnarelli, spicy rigatoni, and their chicken parm, with dessert including Meyer lemon pie or Nutella cake.
Sausal
Sausal is leaning into its Nuevo Rancho style for Dine LA, with a $15 lunch and $45 dinner menu.
Lunch features a street taco flight and a choice of side. The dinner lineup starts with choices such as guacamole or chicken pozole, with mains including arroz con pollo, piloncillo-glazed salmon, and barbacoa tacos. Dessert options include Mexican flan and date cake.
The Bar – Handrolls by Seabutter
The Bar – Handrolls by Seabutter is keeping its Dine LA menu focused on what it does best: handrolls.
The $35 lunch and $35 dinner menu gives sushi fans the opportunity to work their way through rolls featuring ingredients such as salmon truffle and spicy tuna crunch with a fun beverage to complement the food.
Nomad Eatery
Nomad Eatery is serving a $45 3-course dinner Dine LA menu that takes its usual globally inspired approach seriously.
The menu features options such as scallop aguachile and burrata, followed by mains including whole branzino with pickled daikon, lamb shank risotto, lomo saltado, and chile relleno. Dessert choices include crème brûlée and tiramisu.
Porterhouse
Porterhouse is going bigger with a $75 Dine LA tasting menu. The El Segundo steakhouse says Chef Bijan has created a special tasting menu specifically for Summer Dine LA.
The current Dine LA menu lineup features oysters on the half shell or crab cake to start, followed by choices such as grilled prime filet, herb-crusted salmon, Mary’s chicken, with dessert options including a pineapple panna cotta or salted caramel pot de crème.
The Proud Bird
Technically just outside the traditional South Bay restaurant circuit, The Proud Bird at LAX is worth mentioning for anyone who considers the airport corridor part of their regular rotation.
The massive food hall and aviation-themed dining destination is offering a $35 lunch and $35 dinner Dine LA menu.
With its food bazaar, aircraft displays, and views of the LAX runways, this is one of the more unique settings on the list. It also makes a surprisingly easy option if you’re meeting someone coming through the airport, or simply want dinner with a side of plane spotting.
Redondo Beach Has Plenty on the Table
Japonica
Japonica Redondo Beach is going all-in with $ 70 4-course lunch and dinner menus for two guests.
The Japanese restaurant is known for sushi, sashimi, ramen, udon, and izakaya-style dishes, so expect this to be one of the more substantial options on the South Bay lineup. The official Dine LA listing places it in the highest price tier for both lunch and dinner.
Little Sister
Little Sister is bringing its modern Vietnamese and Southeast Asian-inspired cooking to Dine LA for $55 at dinner.
The Redondo Beach restaurant is especially known for its Shaky Shaky Beef, along with a menu that pulls from Vietnamese, Southeast Asian, and French influences. The Dine LA lineup makes this a good option for a dinner that feels a little more dressed up without becoming a full-blown occasion.
Confections by Kirari West
For something a little different, Confections by Kirari West is participating with $15 breakfast and lunch menus.
The dedicated gluten-free bakery and cafe is a great reminder that Dine LA doesn’t have to mean a three-course steak dinner. This is the stop for pancakes, pizza, baked goods, and sweets, with plenty of gluten-free options.
Manhattan Beach Goes All In on Dining
Fête Bistro by Slay
Fête Bistro by Slay is offering a $55 three-course dinner during the next 2 weeks.
The French-Mediterranean bistro’s regular menu includes French onion soup, oysters, steak tartare, mussels and fries, lamb shank, filet of sole, steak frites, and more. While the exact Dine LA selections can vary, the restaurant describes its special as a three-course prix fixe menu.
The Arthur J
The Arthur J is participating with a $55 3-course brunch menu including coffee.
The Manhattan Beach steakhouse is known for its wood-fired steaks, seafood, and classic steakhouse sides, so lunch is a nice way to experience the restaurant without committing to a full steakhouse dinner.
Manhattan Beach Post
Manhattan Beach Post is back with a $35 lunch and $65-and-above dinner option.
The dinner format includes a choice of first course, second course, and dessert, with a $35-per-person wine pairing option also available.
If you’ve been waiting for a reason to make MB Post your Friday night reservation, this is a pretty good one.
Hermosa Beach Joins the Party Too
AttaGirl
AttaGirl LA is offering both $35 lunch and $65-and-above dinner menus.
The Hermosa Avenue restaurant takes a Cal-Mediterranean approach, mixing Mediterranean flavors with seasonal California ingredients. With small plates, seafood, vegetables, and a strong cocktail program, this is a good one for a table that wants to order a little bit of everything.
RYLA
RYLA is offering a $35 brunch menu that includes 2 courses and coffee and a $55 dinner menu with 4 courses including dessert.
RYLA’s Dine LA offerings have historically been a particularly good way to sample its Asian-inspired California cooking. Recent Dine LA menus have included dishes such as white sesame Caesar salad, Japanese pancakes, shoyu ramen, pork belly Eggs Benedict, and Taiwanese egg crepes, with the restaurant also offering a bottomless mimosa add-on during its Dine LA brunch.
Tiki Kai
Tiki Kai is the wild card of the Hermosa lineup. Lunch is $35 for a 4-course menu including macadamia nut ice cream for dessert. $45 for dinner includes another 4-course menu with favorites such as crispy rice, garlic noodles, and a chocolate warm cake.
The Pier Avenue restaurant brings Polynesian-inspired food and a full tiki cocktail program to the Dine LA mix. The menu goes beyond bar snacks, with pupus, seafood, and larger plates, making it a fun option if you want the meal to come with a little atmosphere.
Radici
Radici is offering a $35 dinner Dine LA menu that includes a salad, choice of pasta, and panna cotta for dessert.
The Hermosa Italian restaurant is known for its home-style, Abruzzo-inspired cooking, including dishes like its much-loved veal and spinach cannelloni. At $35, this is one of the South Bay menus worth flagging if you’re looking for Italian without committing to a pricier tasting menu.
Steak & Whisky
Steak & Whisky American Tavern rounds out the Hermosa options with its steak-and-seafood focus and extensive whiskey program. Its $95 dinner menu includes a starter, salad, entree, and dessert with dishes such as filet mignon, milk rolls, and roasted salmon.
San Pedro Gets a Seat at the Table
Compagnon Wine Bistro
Compagnon Wine Bistro in San Pedro is participating at $55 for a 3-course dinner.
The French wine bistro is a nice addition to the South Bay Dine LA map, especially for anyone looking to head south rather than making the trek toward Manhattan Beach or El Segundo. Expect French-inspired cooking and, naturally, a wine list that deserves some attention.
