The Coziest Restaurants to Eat and Drink in L.A. for Autumn

As we inch closer to fall, Southern California is preparing to swap sunny skies and long days for cozy vibes and early nights. While Los Angeles might not win any points when it comes to fall foliage, what we lack in orange hues and crunchy leaves is made up for in gorgeous sunsets, mild temperatures and a crisp ocean breeze. Though you’ll encounter the occasional cloudy autumn day, fall is one of the most beautiful times of year in SoCal. If you catch a craving for cozy vibes fit for the autumn season, several L.A. restaurants come through—regardless of the weather outside. 

From red brick fireplaces to tiny eateries with quaint chef’s counters, those looking to warm up with a craft cocktail and delicious food have plenty of options to explore. Soothing soups are an obvious fall staple, but comforting French fare and Italian cuisine also shine throughout the season. No matter what you’re in the mood for, a robust bottle of red wine is the perfect pairing for everything from tender steaks to robust chicken stews. Whether you’re looking to dine solo over escargot and French onion soup or unwind under dim lighting and dark red walls in West Hollywood, these are the coziest places to dine in Los Angeles this fall.
