The Winter 2011 dineLA Restaurant Week list of participants is now live, with nearly 300 restaurants throughout Los Angeles County offering specially-priced three-course lunches and dinners. Now in its sixth season, the Winter edition of the bi-annual dining event will take place from January 23-28 and January 30-February 4, 2011. dineLA is an initiative created by LA INC. and American Express to showcase Los Angeles as a premier dining destination, and offers diners a chance to sample from some of the city’s top restaurants.

“We are fortunate to live in Los Angeles, where we have access to such a variety of dining options, from long-standing institutions to new restaurants by nationally acclaimed chefs and restaurateurs,” says Mark Liberman, president and CEO of LA INC. “dineLA Restaurant Week is a testament to our local talent and consistently offers an impressive list of participants.”

For this edition, dineLA welcomes newcomers Beechwood (with Top Chef All-Star Jamie Lauren), the iconic Inn of the Seventh Ray, and after many dineLA fan requests, The Hungry Cat. In addition to The Hungry Cat, some of L.A.’s finest cocktail destinations are returning as dineLA participants, including Bar | Kitchen, The Bazaar, Comme Ça, Drago Centro, First & Hope and The Raymond (1886).

dineLA Restaurant Week offers three dining categories (Deluxe, Premier, and Fine Dining) with specially-priced prix fixe meals for lunch and dinner. Diners can choose from three options for each course, including appetizer, entrée, and dessert.

Lunch / Dinner

  • Deluxe Dining: $16 / $26
  • Premier Dining: $22 / $34
  • Fine Dining: $28 / $44

American Express Cardmembers will be able to register any eligible American Express Card to receive a $20 statement credit when they dine three or more times during dineLA Restaurant Week at participating restaurants.

dineLA’s Hotel Program is being offered again this year, which allows hotel properties with participating restaurants to offer special dineLA rates and culinary packages.
