The best restaurants in Beverly Hills sit within a few blocks of one another, anchored by Canon Drive, Beverly Drive, and Rodeo Drive in the heart of the Golden Triangle. From legacy steakhouses and Greek seafood houses to rooftop dining and a new wave of 2026 openings, this is one of the most concentrated luxury dining scenes in the country. Josh Flagg, who has closed billions in Beverly Hills real estate, knows these rooms well, and the 12 below are the ones worth knowing whether you live in the Beverly Hills Flats or are visiting for the weekend.

Prospect Gourmand
Prospect Gourmand sits just over the line on Robertson Boulevard and takes a quieter, ingredient-first approach to California cooking.

Avra Beverly Hills
Avra Beverly Hills is the West Coast outpost of the celebrated New York Greek house, set in an 11,000-square-foot space designed like an open-air villa.
The draw is the seafood: whole fish flown in from around the world, displayed on ice and grilled simply with lemon, herbs, and excellent olive oil. A short walk from Rodeo Drive, it is an effortless fit for a day in the Golden Triangle.
Signature orders:
Whole grilled fish
Greek spreads and salads
Grilled seafood specialties

Il Pastaio
Il Pastaio holds down one of the most recognizable corners in Beverly Hills, and the energy rarely lets up from lunch through dinner.

Gemma
Gemma is the newest chapter atop the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills, a California-inspired Pan-Asian destination perched twelve stories above the city.
Helmed by Chef Peleg Miron, the menu spans delicate dim sum, an extensive from-the-wok selection, pristine sushi, and premium grilled steaks including Japanese wagyu.

Wally's Beverly Hills
Wally's Beverly Hills is restaurant, wine bar, and gourmet retail under one roof, a Wine Spectator Grand Award room with more than 100 wines by the glass.
The kitchen turns out charcuterie, cheese flights, pizzas, and raw preparations built to pair, and the energy stays social well into the night. It is the kind of place where a quick glass of wine quietly becomes the whole evening.

100-plus wines by the glass

Flambeed lobster with Calabrian chiles
Eggplant parm fries
Crispy pepperoni cups and spicy lobster pasta
Azur Beverly Hills
Azur Beverly Hills is new to Canon Drive in 2026, channeling the spirit of the French Riviera into a refined yet relaxed restaurant and lounge.
