The story
Horses, located at 7617 Sunset Boulevard, is a contemporary restaurant that has quickly earned its place among Los Angeles dining destinations. The menu, which spans appetizers, dinner, brunch, and a well-curated cocktail program, reflects a thoughtful, ingredient-driven approach. In 2026, the restaurant received a Michelin recommendation, a nod to its consistent quality and inviting atmosphere.
Dinner at Horses balances familiar comfort with bold, clean flavors. Starters include hand-cut steak tartare, amberjack with brown butter and soy, and a Caesar salad that holds its own. The pasta selection features a bright pasta al limone and a spinach rotolo. Main courses range from a butcher’s steak with anchovy-wilted greens to a whole Cornish game hen with warm dandelion panzanella. For those craving something classic, the cheeseburger and fries is a standout. Desserts—such as carrot sticky toffee pudding with cognac ice cream and a frozen chocolate soufflé—offer a satisfying finish.
Brunch brings its own pleasures: banana walnut sticky buns, soft scrambled eggs with pecorino, and a croque madame, alongside coffee drinks and a lively cocktail list.
The bar at Horses is as considered as the kitchen. Drinks range from a Horses’ Vesper with fig leaf–infused gin to a mezcal margarita shaken with cucumber and dill. The wine list, offered by the glass, includes selections from California, France, and beyond, with a strong emphasis on sparkling and lighter reds.
The restaurant’s contemporary cuisine—bright, ingredient-focused, and unfussy—aligns with the modern ethos of its Sunset Strip surroundings. The Michelin recommendation underscores what locals and visitors alike have discovered: Horses is a place where thoughtful cooking, precise cocktails, and effortless service come together.
