Here’s where you can still dine out in L.A. (outside, of course) |
|
Indoor dining rooms in L.A. have been ordered shut for the next few weeks, at least. But plenty of restaurants have been able to pivot to patios (like E.P./L.P., pictured above), parking lot pop-ups and alleyway extensions. We know plenty of Angelenos will feel more comfortable cooking at home or getting takeout for a bit, and that’s totally understandable. But if you feel like dining outdoors, here’s where you can still dine out safely—and deliciously | |
 |
|
Bar Amá |
|
Josef Centeno’s Downtown Tex-Mex spot has spilled out into its adjacent alleyway so you can still feast on puffy tacos and a molten bowl of queso (including a vegan variant). |
|
|
 |
|
Alta |
You can still find chef Keith Corbin’s bright and creative California soul food for brunch on the verdant back patio of the West Adams restaurant and coffee shop.
|
|
| |
 |
|
Playa Provisions |
|
The beachy, seafood-filled country mart returns with Plexiglas barriers between booths and an all-new patio in their parking lot for outdoor dining right by the ocean. |
|
|
 |
|
Tallula’s |
|
The family-friendly Mexican cantina has flipped its Santa Monica parking lot into an alfresco dining space where you can enjoy tacos, nachos and plenty of margaritas. |

Yes, those are still fireworks you’re hearing. Yes, the Fourth of July is over. And yep, you’ll probably keep hearing those for the rest of the summer.
