Restaurants near Los Angeles Times Building

Red Bird is one of the best restaurants in Downtown LA, and a standout spot for weekend brunch.

We ate outside, 10 stories up and right across the street from Disney Hall with its magnificent spirals. This restaurant is in the Grande Hotel. Great location for the many music and other venues downtown. They could use more decor on the patio, which looks like someone bought a small apartment without enough room so you put all the extra stuff outside on the balcony. Lovely small menu. Great place to go before the Disney or Music Center. Food is well prepared and tasty.

The restaurant is very clean and the service is great. They use OpenTable, they take card, and you can pay the bill with a QR code which is super convenient. I went for Dine LA and had the following: -Pesto Paneer: mild in flavor, the texture and density of the paneer was slightly firmer which I prefer; the peppers and onion added great flavor to the pesto. -Cali Sticky Ribs: the sauce isn’t too sweet and the spice level is also mild; the meat was very tender and came right off the bone. -Chicken Vindaloo: the chicken was moist, the curry was very flavorful with a medium level of spice. -Vanilla Panna Cotta: a cute little gelatinous/custard treat in a decorative mold shape with a berry sauce that wasn’t too sweet and a few strawberry pieces; a perfect smaller portion after a heavier meal.

Simply, great food, great service, great vibe. Will definitely return when attending performances at the Music Center
