| The 2009 Los Angeles Red Guide is here! The Michelin Los Angeles Restaurants & Hotels Guide 2009 is the ideal resource for both locals and visitors looking for the perfect spot. All establishments covered in the guide are recommended by Michelin’s expert inspectors, so you can book reservations to any listing with confidence; you don’t have to wade through confusing or mediocre reviews to try to determine which place is worth your time and money.
The MICHELIN Guide follows a proven formula that has withstood the test of time. Michelin employs full-time local professional inspectors that work anonymously so they are treated the same as other diners. Michelin inspectors check back on previously reviewed establishments and the guide’s content is updated accordingly. Starred restaurants are inspected several times a year. Since few culinary honors are as prestigious as a Michelin star rating, restaurants that earn them are sure to consistently offer a superior dining experience so they retain their star rating from year to year.
The guide describes ambience and cuisine for all entries, while restaurants that merit a Michelin star rating will also have a menu selection and color photos. For those with less than a three-star budget, a Bib Gourmand category includes 45 of the inspectors’ favorite places to eat for under $25.
In addition to top restaurants, the MICHELIN Red Guide also reviews places to stay, from budget to deluxe. The 2009 Guide features approximately 40 hotels, each held to the same high standards that have made Michelin famous for over a hundred years.

Covers 310 restaurants in Los Angeles
Includes 70 new restaurant review entries for 2009
