The poor economy is turning into a good deal for people who like to eat at fancy restaurants. DineLA, a joint promotion by the Los Angeles restaurant community, the Los Angeles Convention and Visitors Bureau and American Express, said 260 eateries will participate in the program next month, a 49% increase over last year.
The promotion, which depending on the restaurant, can be for lunch, dinner or both, runs Oct. 4-9 and Oct. 11-16. It is not good on Saturdays.
Participating restaurants will provide patrons with a three-course, prix fixe meal intended to demonstrate their establisment’s particular culinary specialty. The promotion offers meals at three price points, depending on what the restaurant decides to offer. For dinner, the lowest price is $26, the middle grade is $34 and the top tier is $44. Lunch prices are $16, $22 and $28. Beverages, taxes and gratuities are not included.
Some of the restaurants include: Fuego at the Maya, Michael’s Santa Monica, Drago Centro, Rosa Mexicano, Spago Beverly Hills, the Bazaar, Cache and Campanile.
