Dine LA runs Aug. 14–28 with 400+ restaurants

Los Angeles Tourism’s Dine LA Restaurant Week will run from Friday, August 14, through Friday, August 28, offering prix-fixe lunch and dinner menus at more than 400 restaurants across the city. The official Dine LA page says the summer 2026 event spans 84 neighborhoods and includes menus starting at $15, with higher tiers at $25, $35, $45, $55 and $65 and above. The program is produced by LA Tourism, which describes Dine LA as the city’s signature culinary event. ### How broad is this year’s Dine LA lineup? The Discover Los Angeles website says the 2026 summer edition covers more than 400 restaurants in 84 neighborhoods. The official restaurant directory also sorts participants by neighborhood, cuisine, lunch price, dinner price and dining options, including outdoor dining and Michelin-tagged listings. Resident, which published a guide on August 5, said the event offers a 15-day snapshot of Los Angeles dining across 26 global cuisines. (discoverlosangeles.com) Other local listings, including Discover Torrance and Secret Los Angeles, also said the roster exceeds 400 restaurants this summer. ### What do diners actually pay? The official Dine LA page lists lunch and dinner pricing bands beginning at $15 and running through $65 and above. (discoverlosangeles.com) Those are prix-fixe menus, meaning participating restaurants offer a set menu at a fixed price rather than a universal discount across the full menu. Resident reported that the set pricing is meant to make it easier for diners to try restaurants that might otherwise feel harder to access in a city with widely spread dining districts. (resident.com) Time Out’s summer guide also said the August 14–28 run is part of Dine LA’s twice-yearly format, with one event in winter and one in summer.

The official site says no event pass is required and that reservations are made directly with each restaurant. The Discover Los Angeles listing includes booking links for participating restaurants and filters for OpenTable availability. That setup means diners browse the central directory, then reserve with the restaurant they choose rather than buying admission to a single festival-style event. (resident.com) ### What kinds of restaurants are participating? The official directory includes casual spots, neighborhood restaurants and higher-end dining rooms across cuisines ranging from burgers and pizza to Korean, Mexican, sushi and vegan. (discoverlosangeles.com) The site also flags Michelin-linked participants, while outside coverage has highlighted the presence of both budget meals and upscale options. Secret Los Angeles said the event this year includes 26 global cuisines and noted that some Michelin-starred restaurants are part of the promotion. (discoverlosangeles.com) Los Angeles Magazine and The Infatuation have separately published restaurant picks and deal roundups tied to the August program. ### Where do diners find the menus before it starts? The Discover Los Angeles Dine LA page already lists participating restaurants, neighborhoods, prices and menu links ahead of the opening day. (discoverlosangeles.com) Diners can filter by lunch or dinner, price tier and geography, then book directly from the listing if reservations are available. Friday, August 14, is the start date for the summer 2026 program, and Friday, August 28, is the final day listed by LA Tourism.
