Frequently Asked Questions about Restaurant locations

Have a question about Restaurant in Los Angeles, CA?
  • What is the cost of renting a restaurant space in Los Angeles?
    Restaurant venues in LA cost around $50–$3,000 per hour, depending on what amenities are available and their location. For example, a small Echo Park café may cost less than a sophisticated Downtown LA penthouse. Some rentals include tables and chairs, but prepare to spend more if you need additional staff or entertainment. If you’re looking for budget-friendly options, Giggster features some of the best LA restaurant spaces suitable for all styles and budgets.
  • How much space should I budget for my LA restaurant event?
    For a comfortable dining experience, aim for 15-20 square feet per person. This way, there’s enough room for tables, chairs, and everyone to move around with ease. For example, a 600-square-foot dinner party can fit 30 people, but if you’re throwing a big bash with 150 guests, you’ll need a larger area like a venue with 3,000 square feet of space. You should also factor in kitchen facilities and bar areas when planning your space.
  • What unique restaurant locations can I find across LA's neighborhoods?
    LA has many restaurant venues for rent. You can find a West Hollywood rooftop lounge with skyline views, an Arts District warehouse that’s converted into a stylish eatery, or a Santa Monica seaside bistro. Silver Lake and Echo Park also have eclectic dining spots, whereas Beverly Hills takes pride in its luxury taverns and steakhouses. With LA’s year-round pleasant weather, don’t miss out on outdoor restaurants that serve tasty treats and drinks.
  • What should I look for when choosing a restaurant rental in LA?
    When choosing a restaurant venue in Los Angeles, think about what vibe you want. Whether it's a cozy rustic patio or a sleek modern space, it should fit the event’s theme. Don’t forget to check the size and facilities, like kitchens, parking, and AV equipment. If you plan to serve drinks, double-check if the venue has a license for alcohol. Also, it’s a good idea to ask about any rules on decorations or bringing in outside catering.
  • How can guests best navigate LA for my restaurant event?
    Your guests can fly into LAX, a major airport about thirty to forty-five minutes from the heart of the city. LA has an extensive public transit system, which includes buses, light rail, shuttles, and subways. They can take them to most places in the Greater Los Angeles area, but plan with LA’s infamous traffic in mind, whether taking public transport or driving. If they’re staying at a nearby hotel, why not organize a shuttle service for comfort and style?

Very cool retro diner set with lots of pre-set production design to make it ready to shoot when you walk in. The adjacent $15 parking lot and elevators made load-in and load-out quite manageable. Check-in with the security guard was straightforward and the space was clean upon entry.

Things to Consider For Your Restaurant Event in Los Angeles

Tinseltown has Michelin-starred restaurants, small charming eateries, and new openings every other month. Giggster can connect you to a dining room that rivals Quarter Sheets, but it also helps you weigh the challenges and know how to handle them.

Advantages

  • LA's location is in the San Gabriel Valley, adjacent to the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, which gives it a varied landscape. Beachside restaurants serve fried chicken, blue cheese plates, and the best seafood dishes you've ever tasted.

  • Major freeways pass through the city, making it accessible to/from Huntington Park, Beverly Hills, San Francisco, and beyond. Thanks to the city's extensive public transit system, moving between neighborhoods is also easy.

  • La La Land has excellent food and varied dining options. It's the best place to host a food event, backed by a selection of dining spots that deliver quality catering services.

Disadvantages

  • LA's public transit system has a limited reach; the best solution is to book an accessible dining room, house, or restaurant.

  • The city has high state taxes, among the highest in the county. Hosting events in the city is costly, but you'll find many budget-friendly event spaces around town.

  • Hollywood is disaster-prone, and wildfires can break out at any time. Giggster lets you back your booking with insurance, backing your event against such cases.

The Best Types of Restaurant Venues in Los Angeles

Like everything else, you'll find the best dining establishments across Los Angeles, and Giggster can help with the search. You'll find the best waterfront restaurants in Marina del Rey, a seaside community, while downtown LA has selections of eateries that cater to solo diners. If you are still on the fence about which space to choose, use these ideas as a sounding board:

  • Outdoor Restaurants – Tasting Events. Whether you serve cocktails, beer, or wine, hosting a tasting event is a surefire way to impress guests or drum up business for your catering company. Los Angeles has some of the most beautiful outdoor restaurants, with selections of beachside locations.

  • Cafes – Game Nights. A cozy cafe is where you should host your next game night. Make it a trivia event and award the winning team a sizeable bar tab. If you are introducing a second outpost, challenge participants by including questions about the dishes on your menu!

  • Gastropubs Chef Swap. Gastropubs are relatively new additions to the culinary landscape. They serve hearty, restaurant-quality meals and drinks. Host a chef swap event whereby multiple guest chefs prepare exclusive culinary delights. The venue is also ideal for chef-guided mystery cooking battles and sensory tasting experiences.

  • Retro Diners Movie Shoots. A sun-drenched retro diner is an ideal movie backdrop. Downtown LA has '50s-style diners, and most have one-of-a-kind decor, like classic neon signs and vintage vehicles!

  • Patios – Pop-ups. Patios are the best settings for food pop-up experiences. Set up a retractable roof kiosk and small dining areas where guests can eat a meal picnic-style or cocktail-style. Make it a mini food festival with different vendors serving diverse cuisines.

Planning Your Restaurant Event in Los Angeles

Planning an event hinges on choosing the best venue and menu and having just the right amount of creativity. Booking a restaurant ticks one checklist item when organizing your culinary event. Host a memorable, one-of-a-kind dining event with these tips:

Plan Ahead Let everyone know what they should do and when to deliver, and create a timeline; this will help you avoid working late nights before and after the grand event.

Create your Menu Guests attend dining events hoping to eat a special meal and try new food. Serve meat and vegetarian meals, use local produce, and add new dishes. Have a guiding theme, such as chicken tikka or Korean barbecue. Also, have a drinks menu, whether a natural wine list or cocktails.

Deliver Quality Service Quality service should accompany a great meal. Hire a professional team who can keep things fresh and provide warm service. Getting a mixologist on board is always great because they can run the bar and entertain guests.

Decorate the Venue While most dining spaces are pre-decorated, you can enhance the environment with decorations. A simple disco ball can do the trick, but the occasion should guide your choices.

How to Save Money on Your Restaurant Event in Los Angeles

Planning a restaurant event, whether a simple dinner for two or a cook-a-thon, can be costly. You can still reduce your budget and have a successful culinary function.

Order takeout.

While not the most popular option when hosting a restaurant event, you can serve takeout to reduce costs. It works best if the occasion is an eating competition or any other culinary-based function that doesn't require meal preparation. The option is also suitable when hosting the occasion at an event space that doesn't have a kitchen.

Use in-season ingredients.

Customize your menu to include in-season vegetables and fruits. Breakfast is often the cheapest meal; substitute lunch or dinner items with breakfast options.

Serve a buffet.

Buffets are more affordable than plated or boxed lunches. They also cut down on service costs. Event hosts love buffets because they always stay in style.
