Spago

Chef Wolfgang Puck's flagship restaurant continues to draw LA's rich and famous quite simply because the food is so good. Grandiose entrance doors set the stage for the over-the-top interior décor, with its etched and stained-glass, plus art by the likes of David Hockney. The centrepiece patio, with olive trees and fountain, has the most coveted tables. Fresh fish, seasonal produce, signature dishes such as prime côte de boeuf and melt-in the-mouth pizzas are all excellent.
