Los Angeles is bracing for an exciting fall season as it welcomes a variety of new restaurants to its already vibrant culinary landscape. This season’s lineup includes the highly anticipated openings of Berenjak, El Moro Churreria, and many other establishments that promise to elevate the city’s gastronomic experience.
This year has been tumultuous for Los Angeles, marked by challenges such as wildfires, ongoing strikes by writers and actors, and widespread community protests. These events have impacted the local economy and cultural fabric but have not hindered the resilience and creativity of the city’s food scene.
Among the notable newcomers is Berenjak, a London-based Iranian restaurant set to debut in the Arts District’s Soho Warehouse in late September. This will mark Berenjak’s first location in the United States. Founded by chef Kian Samyani in 2018, the menu will feature an array of dishes inspired by traditional kebab houses in Tehran, including coal-grilled kebabs, khoresht (stews), hummus, and sangak (flatbread).
The fall season will also see the return of Broken Spanish, which has rebranded as Broken Spanish Comedor. Chef Ray Garcia is set to open the revitalized concept in a former A-frame space in Culver City this October, bringing back beloved dishes and introducing innovative flair to traditional Mexican cuisine.
In Larchmont, Max & Helen’s, a classic diner co-created by Phil Rosenthal, host of Somebody Feed Phil, and celebrated chef Nancy Silverton, is anticipated to open shortly. This diner promises to serve approachable favorites such as hearty breakfasts featuring eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes.
Maydan Market, an East Coast expansion by D.C. restaurateur Rose Previte, is also expected to open this fall. The market will feature various food stalls, including a branch of Previte’s acclaimed restaurant, Compass Rose, which is known for its travel-inspired menu.
Furthermore, chef Brian Baik plans to launch his first permanent establishment, Corridor 109, in Melrose Hill. The restaurant will offer a unique blend of Japanese and Korean seafood dishes, showcasing Baik’s expertise cultivated through training at renowned locations like Eleven Madison Park and Sushi Noz.
In Koreatown, Nancy Silverton’s Lapaba will debut in October, featuring a creative fusion of Italian and Korean cuisines, an innovative approach expected to attract a diverse clientele.
The Hermon neighborhood will welcome Hermon’s, which promises to deliver classic American dishes and bar food, crafted by chef DK Kolender.
Finally, the beloved El Moro Churreria, a historic Mexico City establishment founded in 1935, is set to open its Los Angeles flagship in Echo Park this fall. Known for its signature churros and rich chocolate dipping sauce, the Echo Park location will focus on outdoor dining in a modern and inviting atmosphere.
The upcoming openings reflect a resilient spirit within the Los Angeles restaurant scene, showcasing a diverse array of cuisines and innovative concepts. As each establishment prepares to welcome diners, the excitement builds around the culinary experiences that await this fall.
