Best Restaurants in Beverly Hills 2026: The Ranked Guide
Our ranked guide to the best restaurants in Beverly Hills for 2026, from Wolfgang Puck's Spago and CUT to the Polo Lounge and Mr. Chow, with the tables we book most.
Why we wrote this guide
Beverly Hills packs more serious dining into a few square miles than almost anywhere in the country. Canon Drive alone runs a Wolfgang Puck flagship, a gallery-white steakhouse, and a pair of handmade-pasta institutions, while the Beverly Hills Hotel and a fifty-year-old Beijing-style icon anchor the rest of the map. This is our ranked guide to the best Beverly Hills restaurants in 2026, built from the tables we book most and the rooms our guests ask for by name. Every venue below is one we reserve directly. Last updated late June 2026.
Looking for the table, not the reading? Tell us the night and the group and we will route you to the right room. The order below blends the quality of the room with the occasion it fits best, not just the size of the name on the door.
The ranked guide
1. Spago Beverly Hills
Wolfgang Puck's flagship and the standard-bearer for California cuisine since the original Spago rewrote the rulebook in 1982. The current Canon Drive room, open since 1997, has hosted virtually every major name in film, fashion, and business for four decades, and Executive Chef Areg Avanessian still runs it on the same market-driven conviction. Order the Spicy Big Eye Tuna Tartare Cones, the seasonal Agnolotti del Plin, and the Smoked Salmon Pizza that explains why Puck matters. The cellar is one of the most serious in the country, with a Wine Spectator Grand Award held continuously since 2010. The retractable-roof patio is the seat to ask for. See Spago Beverly Hills.
Best for: the marquee dinner where the food is the occasion.
2. CUT Beverly Hills
The steakhouse that does not feel like one. Richard Meier, the architect behind the Getty Center, designed the room as a luminous white gallery hung with John Baldessari prints from Puck's personal collection and Martin Schoeller portraits. Executive Chef Drew Rosenberg runs a beef program built around provenance rather than tonnage: a 14-day dry-aged Flannery rib eye next to A5 Kobe from Hyogo Prefecture, priced by the ounce. Start with the bone marrow flan or the signature butter lettuce salad. Set inside the Four Seasons, with private dining from an intimate 24-seat room up to 160. See CUT Beverly Hills.
Best for: the refined steak dinner that reads as an art evening.
3. The Polo Lounge
The legend that earns it every morning at 7am, when the green leather banquettes fill with agents, studio heads, and the occasional film legend. The Beverly Hills Hotel opened in 1912; the Polo Lounge followed in 1941, and the Martinique banana-leaf wallpaper has wrapped the room in that tropical-Hollywood green ever since. Executive Chef Michael Santoro keeps the kitchen rooted in the classics: the McCarthy Salad is still the most-ordered plate, Dover Sole arrives tableside, and the dry-aged tomahawk is built for two. Booths 1, 2, and 3 are the most requested in the house. See The Polo Lounge.
Best for: the breakfast meeting or dinner where the address does half the work.
4. Mr. Chow Beverly Hills
Since 1974, the same North Camden Drive address has drawn Hollywood royalty and international art collectors to Michael Chow's Beijing-style room. The walls carry original work by Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, and Jean-Michel Basquiat, gifts from artists who ate here. The Beijing Duck is the kitchen's signature test, a 24-hour preparation carved tableside, and the Mr. Chow Noodles are pulled by hand in full view of the dining room every evening. We recommend the semi-prix fixe format that lets the kitchen build the rhythm of the meal. Arrive with a reservation and dress with intention. See Mr. Chow Beverly Hills.
Best for: the deliberate, theatrical dinner ordered for the whole table.
5. Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills
The flagship West Coast expression of the brand, one block from Rodeo Drive. The room is dark by design, with leather booths, candlelight, and live music working the dining lounge and piano bar from around 6:30 on weekends. The kitchen anchors around prime beef: the 22-ounce bone-in ribeye is the order, with Miyazaki A5 Wagyu and Kobe on the list for those who want to push further. The lobster mashed potatoes are not optional, and the warm butter cake closes essentially every table. The Penthouse and the Garden rooftop terrace handle private dining. See Mastro's Steakhouse Beverly Hills.
Best for: the power dinner that reads serious without being stiff.
6. Funke
Chef Evan Funke's Beverly Hills flagship, a Roman palazzo reborn on South Santa Monica Boulevard with chrome-framed glass walls that reveal the pasta artisans at work in the open laboratorio. Red leather booths, stone tables, and soaring ceilings set the stage; the rooftop bar adds al fresco cocktails with views of the Hollywood Hills. The menu splits into handmade fatta a mano and extruded pastas, built on premium imports like San Marzano tomatoes and aged pecorino, with an encyclopedic Italian wine list. Come for a milestone dinner and let the meal take its time. See Funke.
Best for: the milestone pasta dinner from a master of the form.
7. Steak 48
The West Coast flagship of the group, open since 2022 on Wilshire Boulevard. The room runs on plush velvet booths, marble accents, and a dramatic glass-walled wine cellar holding more than 1,400 bottles, with a horseshoe bar built for people-watching. The kitchen prioritizes USDA Prime, Japanese A5 Wagyu, and flown-in seafood: the A5 Wagyu Ribeye, the bone-in New York Strip, and the Tomahawk for Two. Start with the Wagyu Tartare or the Maine Lobster Escargot. The private Olive Room seats up to 65. See Steak 48.
Best for: the Beverly Hills group steak dinner with energy.
8. Il Pastaio
The Drago family's Canon Drive trattoria, run by brothers Giacomino, Celestino, and Calogero since 1994 and true to handmade pastas and family recipes from Galati Mamertino. Exposed brick, wooden beams, and checkered tablecloths channel a Sicilian trattoria, with a small patio on bustling Canon Drive for people-watching and strolling musicians most nights. Order the Ravioli di Spinaci e Ricotta with sage butter, the Squid Ink Risotto, or the Osso Buco. The recent remodel added The Olive Room, a private nook for 30 with a 1,400-bottle cellar. See Il Pastaio.
Best for: the lively Canon Drive lunch or unhurried Italian dinner.
9. Novikov
The West Coast anchor of the globally acclaimed Novikov empire, open since 2023 on North Canon Drive with Chef Luca Moriconi steering a Mediterranean menu built for sharing. The room seats around 150 across sleek marble, plush velvet banquettes, and expansive windows that spill onto a petite patio, with the bar working as the social hub from golden hour into the evening. Start with the Burrata Salad or the Tuna Crudo, then move to the Black Angus Ribeye, the Grilled Octopus, or the Truffle Tagliatelle. Curated playlists and occasional live music carry the later hours. See Novikov.
Best for: the polished, see-and-be-seen Mediterranean dinner.

Why the Beverly Hills reservation is harder than it looks
The best Beverly Hills tables tighten fast around the city's calendar, and awards season is the sharpest window of all. The stretch from the Golden Globes through the SAG Awards and the Oscars pulls the whole industry into these rooms, and NBA All-Star weekend adds another surge. On those weekends the prime-time seatings at Spago, CUT, the Polo Lounge, and Mr. Chow go first, and the public reservation platforms show you what is left, not what is possible. We work direct relationships with the rooms above, which means we can often place a table the apps show as fully committed, and pair the dinner with the rest of the night.
How MyRSVP holds the table
We work two desks on every Beverly Hills request. Our venue-relations desk has direct relationships with the rooms above; our operations desk handles timing, the walk from a Rodeo Drive event or a Sunset Strip meeting, and any celebration setup such as a cake, a specific booth, or a quiet corner for a proposal.
The process for you is short:
Tell us the night, the group size, and the room (or tell us the vibe and we will pick).
We come back inside 12 hours with the table, the time, and anything we can add.
You confirm. We hold it with the venue.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best restaurant in Beverly Hills?
For the single best dining experience, most serious diners point to Spago Beverly Hills, Wolfgang Puck's flagship and the standard-bearer for California cuisine since 1982. For a refined steak evening, CUT Beverly Hills leads; for the iconic power breakfast, the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The right answer depends on the occasion, which is why we rank by fit above, not just reputation.
Which Beverly Hills restaurant is best for a business dinner?
The Polo Lounge has been the industry's power room since 1941, and Mastro's on Canon Drive reads as serious without being stiff. Spago hosts every major name in film and business, and CUT's gallery-white room impresses without needing a gimmick. Tell us the read on the meeting and we will route the room that carries the right weight.
Which Beverly Hills restaurant is hardest to get into?
Around awards season and NBA All-Star weekend, the prime-time tables at Spago, CUT, the Polo Lounge, and Mr. Chow book out first. Those are the rooms where a direct relationship matters most, which is where we come in. We can frequently place tables the public apps show as fully booked.
Where should I go for steak in Beverly Hills?
Three rooms lead. CUT runs a provenance-driven program in a Richard Meier gallery space inside the Four Seasons. Mastro's brings the dark-booth, live-music power-dinner energy one block from Rodeo Drive. Steak 48 pairs USDA Prime and A5 Wagyu with a 1,400-bottle glass wine cellar. Tell us the vibe and we will pick.
How far in advance should I book a Beverly Hills restaurant?
For a standard weekend prime-time table, plan two to four weeks out. For awards season or NBA All-Star weekend, push it to four to six weeks or more, since the flagship rooms close first on those dates. Weeknights and off-peak seatings are often available inside a week. We can frequently place tables the public apps show as fully committed.
