1. For The Win
$ | Hollywood |Are you even in L.A. if you haven't had a smashburger yet? Usurping all other burgers and burger joints, For the Win has become a power player on the burger scene in L.A., growing from this unassuming location in a strip mall in Hollywood to a collection of storefronts throughout the region. Seasoned beef patties are stuffed with onions and cheese, thrown on the hot plate then served on a perfect bun, customized with bacon, stacked to be a double or a triple (and why not), and then drizzled in homemade sauce. Simple recipe for success here: no-fuss focus on quality ingredients, flavor, and delivery. The fried chicken sandwich is also a winner.

2. Gwen
$$$$ | Hollywood |Heaven for carnivores, this upscale European-style butcher shop and fine-dining restaurant serves wood-fire-cooked meats in a copper-and-marble art deco setting. From Australian celeb-chef Curtis Stone and his brother, Luke, and named for their grandmother, Gwen's butcher shop serves up quality cuts of humanely raised meats to locals during the day, while the elegant dining space within view of the glass-enclosed dry-age rooms, charcuterie curing, and roaring firepit elevates the smoking, searing, and roasting of those quality meats to an art form by night. The focus is obviously meat here but the seasonal sides, cocktails, desserts, and Australian coffees are superior, too.

3. Osteria Mozza
$$$ | Hollywood | ItalianHow close do you think you can get to divinity? At chef Nancy Silverton’s passion project–slash–culinary masterpiece, you’ll come pretty damn close after sampling a few of its celestial dishes. It’s hard to find fault in Osteria Mozza's posh plates when they’re made with such true dedication to the culinary craft that the team will find impossible ways to ship an important ingredient from across the Atlantic even if a decent alternative is on hand. The best part—you know, besides the blissful mozzarella bar, the restaurant's commitment to sustainability, and its support of California growers—is that while everything about it looks incredibly upscale and expensive, the restaurant doesn’t turn its nose up at the masses. You can easily find your happy spot here thanks to the relaxed dress code, warm and attentive servers, and three-course Sunday tasting menu that’s easy on the pocket.

Summer events include movie nights and daytime DJs, so plan accordingly if visiting during the warmer months. The menu does change seasonally, but its delicious tacos and sliders are crowd favorites and always on hand.
