Tomat

The story

Tomat, Los Angeles – Seasonal Californian Fare, Michelin Recommended

A Neighborhood Restaurant

Tomat is a Westchester neighborhood restaurant co-owned by Natalie Dial and Harry Posner, who share a passion for community and delicious food. The name is a playful nod to the tomato, a cornerstone of Californian cooking. In 2026, the restaurant earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, recognizing its commitment to seasonal, locally sourced cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere.

Seasonal Californian Cuisine

The kitchen at Tomat works in harmony with the seasons. Every vegetable, fish, wine, and spirit is hand-selected, with an emphasis on local, organic, regenerative, and low-impact farming practices. Los Angeles itself becomes a source for urban foraging, and the restaurant partners with neighborhood beekeepers, gardeners, and florists. The menu changes regularly, showcasing produce from over 60 local farms, ranches, and seafood purveyors. Dishes are served family-style, encouraging sharing and conversation. The beverage program is equally thoughtful, with cocktails like the Saffron Old Fashioned and the Maize, and a wine list that champions natural and small-production bottles.

A Space for Gathering

The restaurant occupies a dynamic property with a dining room, a rooftop terrace (currently closed), and a private event space. There is also a restaurant garden, where Tomat grows its own produce. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, designed to make guests feel at home. Whether you’re stopping in for a morning pastry and coffee or settling in for a multi-course dinner, Tomat offers a sense of place that is distinctly Los Angeles.
