Great restaurants

By Janice86 |

I loved sitting outside at night surrounded by beautiful boutiques and watching the gorgeous people that frequent this area.

Not like the movies

By Jincha |

Plenty going on, nice restuarants and stores. Comes alive at night and looks better too! Legendary clubs are interesting but in themselves are pretty basic and small.

Fun

By GuidoKarp |

Amazing array of restaurants, featuring our most favorite on the planet, Le Petit Four. Convenient free parking, but make sure you do not park there to leave Sunset Plaza - you may get towed pretty fast.

Cool location, stay away from the Wiskey a go go though.

By DW_Gatorbait |

Everything about the Sunset Strip has been great except the way we we’re treated at Whiskey a go go. Everyone else has been great,

Be careful to shop only within the Sunset signs or you may get ticketed

By Jean705 |

There were many shops and restaurants in this area. Some were overpriced but interesting to look at. Great parking in the back so nice not to have to pay while you shop or eat. Large signs at each end reminding people that they will be ticketed (or towed?) if they leave that area and go beyond to shop, like to H&M.

Fun shopping

By Meranda O |

Loved the stores and had a little taste of LA shopping
Great shopping would have liked a better directory

Many Sunset Plaza Choices

By kenshermanassociates |

Can find almost any type of high-end food you'd like at Sunset Plaza. Often good, sometimes snotty, but a great place to meet friends for a catch-up and not always quiet time.

Best Spot on Sunset for Restuarants

By MorneBotes |

Fantastic area on Sunset that has some of the best Restaurants in LA. Lots of hip trendy bars and young hollywood types.

Good foods and treats here

By Puneet B |

Nice and lively places to eat. Lots to choose from to met most finicky appetites. Enjoy the outdoor seating while you take in the life of LA...you may run into famous folks too....

Best Place to Visit/Eat in W Hollywood

By gourmetontheplate |

Very relaxed, lots of choice, very easy parking Petit Four and Clafoutis are French inspired bur good fusion with American cusine. A sushi bar is adjacent and Cafe Med a good middle of the road Italian restaurant, finally Cravings which is Turkish and has good cusine. Pleanty of very upmarket fashion and beauty services boutiques, H Lorenzo stands out.

Good to be there!

By CarlaColumna123 |

Sunset Plaza is a chic strip of fashionable boutiques where stars like to shop and outdoor cafés. It offers people-watching at its best!

Love to sit there.

By Michel D |

Hollywood is carnival, West Hollywood is relaxing. Shops, special bars and very nice restaurants, where you can enjoy dinner on the spacious teraces. Turns L.A. Into a friendly town.

gorgeous

By Mathew M |

delightful part of Sunset.......fabulous restaurants,retail and beauty therapy..lovely setting and plenty of free parking.....clean and classy.....a lovely stroll at night

Lots of restaurants

By Barbara A |

This is the place to go to eat if in West Hollywood. Lots of different restaurants all the ones we tried (four) were all excellent, all very friendly and busy.

great little shops

By shannon1124 |

perfect place to walk to from the Best Western Sunset, good food and shops.................................................

Outside dining hot spot

By buddy r |

We asre big outside diners and this is probably the best people watching spot in LA. Right on the Sunset Strip with great looking people and cars. There are multiple choices for food and they are all good so just find a parking spot and wander until you find the menu that suits you.

Celebrities incognito everywhere

By OCEAN GUY LOOKING FOR TRAVEL BUDDY |

Undercover celebrities everywhere.
Have your antennas up.
Ladies were sexy clothes to impress.
Gents show your "package" the girls are cougars

Sunset Plaza Best Western

By EAT |

Great place to stay in Hollywood. Great location, very clean and quiet. Great little breakfast included with stay. House of Blues next door. Easy walking distance to any along the Sunset Strip.

great place to be in LA

By Louise B |

Lots of great restaurants and shops, very easy parking.
It's a great location, great view too. New places coming on line all the time.

TOURIST SPOT, FOR SURE

By QUEENIE_ELLE |

SUNSET PLAZA is a place where I had many a lunch and fabulous shopping. The original Brown Derby, a true celebrity spot, morphed into one of my favoritr restaurants, LE DOME. Sdly, that too is gone.

Walking from La Cienega Boulevard to the west is a tangle of classy and tacky . There are some pretty funky places to shop in,. KATANA i(I hope that is right) is a really magnificent Japanese
restaurant, it is really quite imposing, it is on the right hand side as you travel towards the SUNSET PLAZA. Unfortunately, I didn't eat there, but will the next time.

You will think it a bit tacky too. There are so many tourists that I'd be surprised if you saw any celebs.

You will find lots to do, especially Eating Drinking and Shopping. MAYBE A TATTOO!

Low key elegance

By Morey C |

Several great restaurants. Nice shops. Low key vibe but cool and elegant. Super convenient to many key spots in L.A.

Restaurant row

By Jeffrey B |

It has many good places to drink and dine. A bit upscale. Chin chin is an old favorite. And the new wahlburgers is opening soon.

Great for many reasons

By Michael_Saleh |

I live up Sunset Plaza Drive from the little enclave of Sunset Plaza with restaurants, specialty shops and boutiques, and my gym (Equinox). Let me sum it up for you: it's ritzy, but not crazy expensive; has amazing people watching with many celebrities; free parking (but don't walk away from the area or you can get a ticket), and it's a great destination for locals and tourists alike. I particularly like Cafe Med and Le Petit Four, but you have many options here. Great place to sit outside and absorb the local scenery.

Classic West Hollywood

By us_traveldiary |

You definitely feel like you're in West Hollywood here! Restaurants and fashion boutiques all in a stone's throw of each other. As expected, they come with a higher price tag. Traffic is intense but that's expected in LA. Will be back!

Great people watching!

By chasemichaels |

Great people watching, tons to look at and many places to see and eat. Really loved the views from this strip!

A Fun Place to People Watch

By rangodog |

Go to Sunset Plaza and pick a restaurant any restaurant...sit outside and people watch. Plan to spend a hour or two. Go to the back parking lot and enjoy the beautiful view of the city.

Nice area, but restaurants bit pricey

By Jo G |

Nice part of town, with nice restaurants and shops but we weren't particularly impressed with the two restaurants we ate at - average food but a bit overpriced

Beautiful Spot!

By Maeve |

I'm so glad we stayed around the corner from here, it was such a great spot to grab a bite to eat and experience LA life eating on the sidewalk in the fresh air and sunshine at great restaurants!

Hidden Gem

By saun v |

The shopping is fun and the restaurants are good but I found a hidden gem. Wow I am not a spa person but this place is perfect! I received a body treatment and a facial and I was blown away. We travel a ton and love trying so many different spas. This spa by far is a hidden gem. If you are blessed enough to have the opportunity to try a spa, Ole Henriksen spa is the place to try. I had Danny for my body treatment and Angelica for my facial, what true professionals. My wife had Narine for her facial, she loved it as well! Not to mention Narine has her very own book on skincare. The people who work there are true professionals!

Good Shopping and Eating!

By LindaT1313 |

good few shops close to hotel - restaurants excellent along the plaza. Great sales at this time of year!

Great area for restaurants and shopping

By 0506Lucky |

This is the upscale part of the Sunset Strip. There are a lot of very good restaurants and shopping in this area. If you are driving a car, there is ample parking behind the Sunset Plaza buildings on both sides of the street. Just look for a driveway and go to the back. It's very easy.

A very lively part of west Hollywood

By Aikaterini2013 |

In Sunset Plaza you find a lot of good restaurants with Italian , Californian , Japanese and other kitchen . There are also cafes , many shops like boutiques , hair salon ( very good is the dry bar), nails , wax and facial treatment , fitness centers etc

Very nice restaurants

By Ruth L |

loved all the shops and restaurants along Sunset Blvd, so many choices in food. Loved a place called Church key.

no not for me

By acaHampshireUk |

walked up and down then drove round for a bit, ice to see all part of coming to Hollywood it was fun but nothing great got a bit bored in the end

A great destination

By Andy F |

Good shops, great choice of dining and a perfect location. Will head back next time and try some of the other yummy looking places - and watching the cars cruising on Sunset while sipping good wine is always fun!

Plenty to do!

By RainStormLover |

Plenty of spots to eat, shop and just hang out! Worth a visit the next time you're in town. Especially great for an outdoor lunch and people watching.

Trendy in the Best Way!

By James Frost |

I worked on the Sunset Plaza for years and it never gets old! Le Petit Four has some really great French cuisine, I love the Chinese food at ChinChin, and the new Italian place is also good fun for drinks and a pizza! There is always lots of outdoor seating, plenty of parking in the back, and there is plenty of celebrity/people watching. Once in a while it can feel a little pricey and snooty, but most of the time it's a fabulous place to walk around, shop at Fred Segal or one of the other great little boutiques, and have a great outdoor meal with some friends and a bottle of wine. I highly recommend this heavenly slice of LA; I like it far better than Rodeo.

Many restaurant to choose from as well as other retail places

By Pari S |

Good place to bring out of towners. Generous and free parking in the back.
I used to go often to "Le Petit Four" and one of the owner was a friend but, sadly, he passed away.
I have tried several restaurant in that Plaza and across the street as well.

All in all a pretty good experience even though at time it misses the mark. But it all depends on which place you decide on as well as if it happen to be your lucky day (or not).

Sunset Plaza

By kar1116 |

Only did some window shopping-shops were expensive! There is a H and M that has reasonable prices and a big selection.

Lots of good restaurants and shops in Sunset Plaza.

By 807coling |

We stayed just a couple of blocks down Sunset Blvd from Sunset Plaza so a short walk to some many great restaurants and shops. Plenty of variety and a great ambience to the area.

The place to be seen

By KayleighHarper |

Lots of great places to eat and people watch! Full of lovely boutiques and salons. Near the famous Viper room and Whiskey a Go Go.

Nice Area But Crowded

By Caleb J |

Maybe it was just the time I went. I want quite getting the feel for Sunset Strip. There are some great shops and everything, but it was really crowded. It kinda took away from the fun of it.

Not impressive

By Reza_M_M_1 |

Not impressive at all - a few average restaurant with average quality/crowd
Not impressive at all - a few average restaurant with average quality/crowd

Cafe Med is great

By Valerie D |

The food, service and location are great! The valet attendant at Mondrian (a few blocks away and who suggested Sunset Plaza) had no clue that this place even existed.

Love Cravings

By ana61 |

Great food, very friendly and professional stuff, great atmosphere. Brought my very picky parents couple days ago and we got a great time and delicious food Thanks Cravings!!!!

An unforgetable experience

By Terry387 |

The hotel was close to all major tourist attractions like Universal Studios, Wilshere Boulevard and St Monica Beach/Venice Beach/Farmers Market/Beverly Hills.

The Other Rodeo Drive

By Richard A |

One of the toniest places in Los Angeles, and certainly one of the liveliest parts of the city. Clothes, books, music live and recorded, and restaurants all within LA standard walking distance (a couple of blocks).

A nice area on Sunset....

By DavidHBlair |

Sunset is a little up and down and although it is slowly being gentrified as the years pass, a lot of it is a little seedy. One stretch they have got OK is Sunset Plaza. There are good restaurants anf the central reservation is nicely planted.

Nice restaurant area

By Suzanne B |

We went there to get manicures, but also enjoyed the variety of good restaurants on the street. Ate in several, and we liked all of them...ChinChin (Chinese) Mel's Diner (self explanatory) and Cafe Med (nice Italian).

Dining central

By 591graham |

A group of restaurants of varying calibre the spread out onto the footpath.
I suspect much of it has seen better days.

Slightly disappointed.

By Louise J |

Thought there would be more there to see and do. A few eateries and a few shops - wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

Some nice restaraints, but...

By paulaanddavid |

Sunset Plaza has some nice restaurants and on a beautiful summer day is great to eat outdoor and people watch. The shopping was disappointing and mostly higher-end shops that don't make it casually fun to stroll around.

Little Shops

By rryan313131 |

Little shops that open at different hours. Like the atmosphere, but they need to get on the same page, and it will be a bit more enjoyable.

Good restaurants and shops

By MarkYUk |

If you are staying in the area it is a good selection of restaurants and shops, mostly high end but also H&M.

Great sushi!!!

By thehollywoodhills |

Sushiya on Sunset is by far the most fun and really great sushi and rolls. They also have a full bar and all kinds of other entrees like steaks and chicken etc...and probably the only free parking in la. we had a great time!!! Can't wait to go back. It's a 10.

Oasis on the Strip

By coachboon |

We were staying nearby on the strip and we received some restaurant suggestions from our concierge. We walked down and was pleasantly surprised by the variety and number of restaurants. We chose a local Italian restaurant that we enjoyed.

The area is easy to walk around it and is probably a great place to people watch in warmer weather. It was a cool November night so that wasn't happening. It's a nice area. Would I go out of my way to go there. Probably not unless I was going to the area to a club or just touring.

Relaxing Afternoon

By ReneeBag |

The pool area is my favorite place to chill and relax. Great view, relax and friendly atmosphere. Good value and good service!

Family dinner at Le Petit Four

By Michael L |

Been coming here for dinner for 15 years. Impeccable service, great food, varied menu. Thanks, Alex, for a wonderful evening.

Amazing

By perryb6 |

Loved the shops and restaurants .Great people watching.

The place to be on the Plaza

By MrsMcCallum |

Visit La Petit Folie-it is just the best spot. Food and wine always superb and the team look after you so well every time

The Best Maitre 'd in LA

By Kruger C |

The restaurant has a wonderful view over LA. The bar is friendly and comfortable for pre-dinner drinks. Their Dry Martini's are brilliant.

Whilst the menu is good and the ambience great the thing that really make the restaurant special is the Maitre 'D - Dmitri Dmitrov. He is a sort of John Laurie character with Rudolph Valentino hair, an Eastern European accent powerful enough to seem to be invented and manners so visibly courteous it is almost theatrical. He ducks his head, bows deeply as he escots you to your table in a room filled with pictures of vaudeville-era unknowns. His attention to providing service is beyond compare. Nothing is to much trouble for him. I went there with some friends to had moved to LA recently and tey suggested restaurant. They don't go there often but when we arrived the Maitre 'D remembered them by name and greeted them with cordial but respectful greetings.

Apart from the restaurant being a favourite of Jennifer Aniston, Johnny Depp, Anderson Cooper, Dave Stewart etc it is worth going there just to experience the service of Dmitri.

great to people watch

By lou98 |

amazing restaurants that would suit everyone and an overall great place to people watch and do some shopping!

So many places to try!

By Robin R |

Great LA location with a great selection of shops and restaurants ... always a good atmosphere on Sunset Plaza!

Beautiful spot to wine and dine (and do a lil shopping)

By MeishVeniceBeach_CA |

Sunset Plaza is where West Hollywood and Beverly Hills meet in the middle on "the Strip" for a little lunch, dinner, night cap...ok and maybe a little gander at some great clothing shops) A variety of restaurants of the European variety including some Asian influences to go with traditional Cali cuisines. Great place to stroll, see and be seen in this "scene". Take it all in. Then stroll back to your hotel on the strip or wind up in a few watering holes for night caps and music...

Only if you are hungry!

By 4redwine |

It's a great place to people watch and catch a bite to eat, other than that it is just a few overpriced stores! There are plenty of good places to sit and have a glass of wine and watch the world go by!

Christmas Party

By Hud Floyd |

Special thanks to Best Western and Brenda Elias for taking great care of us. Wonderful service and hospitality.

Shop in an area of rich history

By Mitchell K |

Visiting the plaza portion of Sunset strip, you will shop in an area rich in history. Lots of interesting shops and restaurants.

Busy street

By timbershire8899 |

Hollywood spirit, all kinds of people passing by, if you are interested in people you can spend some good time here, other than that it is just a busy classical street.

People Watching As Desert

By John W |

Super Location, Lovelly Food and Good Service, Will Definitely be Coming Back, so Intersting to See the Hollywood Locals Passing, Gerteat Buzz and Atmosphere.

Iconic part of the Sunset Strip

By cjfbruno |

High end shopping, good restaurants, and amazing views of Los Angeles area, Sunset Plaza is fun spot to see locals doing their LA thing. Also home to the now famous Oppenheimer Group, realtor agency on Netflix's Selling Sunset.

Great area and live Le Petit Four Restaurant

By stelondon |

We love this part of West Hollywood, good choice of restaurants with varying prices. We prefer Le Petit Four, which is not as pricey as some. Good patio style restaurant. Always a busy highway and always something to look at!

great area!

By Rod S |

we walked along sunset boulevard and had a great time seeing the mix of people just chilling" its a great spot to be

Lunch

By Margaret Lalik's Kitchen |

I usually go to Chin Chin. I have been there many times, but this time it was unusual. I was with my Mom. The place was dirty. The tables around us, were not cleaned. There were dirty dishes almost at every table. The place was not crowded. There was 3 other tables besides us that was sited. We were sitting outside. Our order came wrong, we asked to change it. The waiter was rud, but the lady manager was nice. She was asking us if we will go back again. I told her yes we will, but I was being polite.

Sunset

By cloudybay65 |

A few nice restaurants, all fairly priced given the area.
Good place to eat, drink and people watch.

Shop till you drop

By Ronjill |

Lots of interesting boutiques to keep you occupied for hours of serious shopping. There was an abundance of excellent restaurants for lunch and dinner to take advanatge f during and after your spree!

Bars and shops

By Angela A |

Great place to people watch lots of bars to sit out in lots of expensive cars and well off folks ,worth a visit on a sunny day

Nice shopping and lunch

By Yana S |

I like the Sunset Plaza because there is few nice shopping stores like Roberto Cavalli, Armani Exchange and etc. So after little shopping spree you can have a lunch and relax in the choice of nice restaurans that located in the Sunset Blvd.I would recomend this place for lunch time.

Delicious afternoon

By Kampol and Euge... B |

Thanks to our thrifty bell at the Roosevelt, we happened upon free parking in a very elegant part of West Hollywood, Sunset Plaza. We lunched outside on mussels and trite, and before the coffee arrived I dipped into the BCBG next door. It was a lovely afternoon and I would recommend the area hands down.

its ok, but not much to do except be seen

By Douglas William M |

if you want to see and be seen, it is a pretty good place, other than that, you could skip it, lots of attitude on this strip

Be seen

By J L |

Our tour guide pointed this out and gave us the low down on the benefits. Lots of celebrities and even more fabulous cars passing by. If you want a great place to sit outside, star gaze and check out the world most expensive cars while having a nice cool drink this is the spot in Los Angeles

Sunset Plaza a Must For L.A. Flavor

By Leecy O |

Over a dozen great places to eat. Best of all---sit and people watch outside at the cafes. Great boutiques as well.

Not as big as you would expect.

By Glenn |

Not a very big stretch of Sunset Boulevard but nice nether the less. Albeit a bit pricey. Some nice restaurants, some with seating outside. This is a people watching place if nothing else. Apparently frequented by some of the stars but not on the days that we were there. Not that I would know what most of the "stars" would look like anyway.

Nice and Pricey

By Tony G |

The plaza is nice and fancy but also expensive to dine and shop. Parking sucks and expensive. Construction is going occurring on Sunset which doesn't make this a comfortable spot at this time.

This is where the rich go to spend more money than necessary because they feel it's the thing to do ...tourist flock here looking for a celebrity spotting but most likely will not find any.

My Dog and I enjoy walking along Sunset Plaza

By HnLA |

Always people to see and be seen. The gym, the restaurants, a lot of beautiful people. Shops are pretty nice too, not all $$$, but most are.

People watching, shopping and dining

By PJ P |

If you want to kick back and dine while watching the Hollywoodites drive by in their rented Porches, spend some time at Sunset Plaza. There are great shops, spas and international restaurants from French to Chinese and parking in the back is usually easy to find if you get there early enough. So many restaurants to chose from and some great shops, too. A must if you visit LA.

Nice plaza, good restaurants

By InnaYYZ |

We walked through sightseeing. The shops are nice, many offering higher end goods. We stopped at a cafe to enjoy drinks and people-watch.

very nice at night!

By David P |

Great for walking around with your family. there are security patrolman at night, seems really safe.

Super Mall!

By Robbie M |

This mall is great, there are so many options to shop and it is in a great location! There is always something going on in the area.

Good Part of West Hollywood

By David P |

If you are a tourist - West Hollywood is where you want to be - Sunset Plaza has a lot of good food places around it

Night Market Thai Restaurant, Sunset Boulevard

By neilsparker1957 |

Excellent meal. Moderately priced. Very popular with local residents. Good service and plenty of choice. We asked the waitress to choose four dishes for us. All tasty.

Great lunch at Cravings at Sunset Plaza

By J_Flores |

This place was great for a long people-watching lunch at Sunset Plaza. Our bottle of wine was not overpriced and the food was very tasty. Good, un-rushed service, too.

Hollywood Fixture

By MarketingDiva |

I love the small little shops mixed in with larger brands. Because of this Sunset Plaza has been ahead of the retail games.so that this location speaks to everyone.

So? It's Sunset Plaza...

By DoctorBuckles |

It isn't much of a stroll... you hit it for dinner and to see who is where at what restaurant. That's about it!

Always Lively

By TejasMehta |

This place is always lively and happening... and usually open till late unlike most places in the LA! Even a drive thru the area will re-energize you!

Great area

By julieistage |

This is such a lovely area. Great shops, great eateries and a charming atmosphere at the bottom of the Bird Streets, Hollywood Hills.

Quaint Hotel

By Stephanie M |

The Hotel was in a great loation.Breakfast was great all included.I booked it through my travel agent as a package holiday.I was shocked to find out it was $325 a night.It is right opposite the Saddle Ranch.Small pool.Very Clean!

European outdoor dinning & shops

By Mr J |

Locals go here for great selections of outdoor dining in the day or eve. Great watching spot for expensive cars and celebrity sightings - if you're lucky.

Chin Chin

By Paul5Belfast |

We found an excellent Asian restaurant at Sunset Plaza, Chin Chin (www.chinchin.com) so good we went back on our second evening. The food was excellent (some of the best we experienced in the US) and very reasonably priced. I would have no hesitation in recommending it.

Nice walk.

By Ken A |

Nice two blocks for window shopping, outdoor eating. Unfortunately, too upscale to be neighborhood=friendly. The new organic Mexican casual diner is excellent.

Wild Side ....? Nope .... same ol retail situation!

By TeleOp |

Well .... expensive restaurants for rich posers .... expensive shops .... if that’s your bag .... I just passed through on the way to some rock history.

Great choice of restaurants

By Dragonsholiday |

The strip has a great choice of eating venues, I wasn't really impressed with the shopping. We stayed at the Andaz Hotel on Sunset Boulevard walking distance to a numerous amount of eating establishments. Noticed a lot of shops vacant so I guess the Strip isn't as popular as it used to be, although in saying this it's a great place to stay especially the fact that you can walk around without having to get transport.

Choices, choices, choices

By Ruben C |

As a set painter in Hollywood we often wind up working within walking distance of Sunset Plaza which is really cool as everyone on the staff wants different food. We all go to different places and then sit together at the common tables. If you like eating outside and doing some people watching while having some good food and laughs with friends, this is the place to do it. Tourists with family and/or friends can come here without too much fear of getting robbed which is a plus in parts of this town.......and I'm not talking about pick pockets or thieves. I'm talking about restaurants. The ones that ply the tourist trade tend to be priced out of this world, at least for Americans. Foreigners from countries with still viable economies would probably think they were rather cheap. Nevertheless, there is something for every budget at this location.

Sunset Plaza is a great place to be

By love2skiLosAngeles |

Owned by the Montgomery family who have great taste and style, this area encompasses a few blocks where Sunset Plaza Drive meets the Sunset Strip. There are really great clothing stores and great restaurants in all categories. Parking is free and plentiful and it is one of my favorite places in Los Angeles. Great for lunch or dinner and shopping.

A tour???

By califcasl |

I don't get why anyone would pay to take a tour to a public space, even a terrific one. Good restaurants and shops, fantastic people watching.

SOOOOOOO CONVENIENT

By Mary Jean V |

Sunset Plaza is in my neighborhood so I come here all the time. For shopping, restaurants and coffee shops and ti's SOOOOOOO EASY because there is free parking behind all the shops and restaurants. I love this area. My very favorite restaurant CRAVINGS closed after over 30 years so was very disappointed because this was my place. Also especially love Chin Chin for reasonable nouveau Chinese food. Very close by is where I go for Mani Pedi and just up the road is also and H&M

Chin Chin

By grandmaairplane |

This is a staple for me.....love the wait staff and you can't go wrong with the Chinese Chicken Salad....love my potstickers!

Small but interesting area of the Sunset Strip!

By cmkr1969 |

This area comprises a couple of short blocks of specialty shops and restaurants (most of which have patios for those with dogs). The restaurants are on the pricey side but uniformly good in my humble opinion; I especially like the Chinese-Japanese hybrid restaurant called "Chin Chin", which I recently reviewed separately. Le Petit Four is another good restaurant. Mel's old -fashioned diner, a wonderful retro place, is also there and has the standard diner fare as well as delicious, thick milkshakes and malts! There are several high end clothing and makeup/skin care boutiques, some very nice salons including the well-known Jessica salon and other shops and services there. There are free parking lots on both sides of the street for your convenience. They have their own website including a great directory that I recommend visiting, which is SunsetPlaza.com

Where to go to eat out of Andaz

By JMac1958 |

Turn right out of hotel - better choice of restaurants and shops
But 2 to the left which are musts are Carneys - the train carriage - for the best EVER burgers.
Also Greenblatts Deli/ Restaurant for great sandwiches

Cafe Med...four stars

By Benjamin S |

Some of the best Italian food in Los Angeles...outdoor seating is good . Free parking behind restaurant...Amazing in that area. Full bar and extraordinary food. $$$

Sunset Plaza Shopping and Eateries

By Jess90069 |

Sunset Plaza Shopping and Eateries are the center of attention. Many 'boutique restaurants". Many excellent "name brand" stores within easy walking. Parking can be a challenge. Park in a lot. NOT on the street. Parking tickets are VERY expensive in West Hollywood. Jess Kalinowsky Bon Vivant!

Great Area

By Kels S |

So many adorable shops and great places to eat, I always recommend checking it out! I wouldn't suggest hitting it up if you're looking to save money, necessarily, but if you're low on budget, it's still a lot of fun to take a stroll through.

Where Mel's is!

By shabooties |

You really can't miss it as you drive along you will see it. Not enough to make it entirely a must do. Mel's is there other eats and pricey shops.

Out and about

By GWUSA |

One of the happening places in West Hollywood. Whether you are strolling along looking at the world, taking in the view or visiting one of the numerous restaurants or shops.

Sunday Brunch

By renaissanceman460 |

Lots of nice cafes, out door seating. Great place to see stars. Great place to have a drink and sunday brunch.

Great options.

By Geoffrey S |

First, you can park in the back lot for free and go to a ton of great places. Le Petit Four is my favorite there, but there are a lot of other great restaurants and bars and shops to go to.

Go for a stroll and star search!

By sjsanchez |

It is a nice trendy neighborhoold with cafes and restaurants. The stars will typically hang out in this neighorborhood (along with paparazzi). Go to the local starbucks and people watch!

Things to do in LA

By Ted |

Have to stop by and check this place out, lots of cafes, restaurants to settle down after a day of touring and enjoy the sunset.

So much fun!

By FirstClass001 |

A vibrant colorful area of LA that I highly recommend. Amazing restaurants, night lbs, stores, everything! A must visit when in the area. Some great boutique style hotels in the area.

even "en français"

By ClocloLuxembourg |

wan to eat chinese, french, or just a steak? buy some Armani or go to have your face cleaned up? .... or even just a coffee in a nice coffee house surrounded by beauties without having the "tv-fashion atmosphere"?..... sunset Plaza is THE sport you'll feel well.... quiet atmospher everywhere you go, even if the restaurants are all filled till the last chair....

Shopping

By bornfabulous |

Comedy Clubs and SHOPPING they are doing a great job cleaning up this end of the sunset strip . Free parking

Nice Spot

By jgiorgianni |

I love coming here to eat and people watch. The views are great, there's lots of people and places to eat.

Cool Hangout

By Steve J |

This is the spot to be in LA. Unless you're a follower of the designer retailers on Rodeo Drive which most of us can't even afford to walk in let alone shop!
Sunset has a nice mix of cools stores informal eating houses and fancy restaurants. Eat on a budget and go to Joes Pizza- best in Hollywood or hang out in some of the top joints like Eveleigh. Caution Brits!!! Parking fines are handed out like free money. Feed the meter and don't take a chance or pay the $8 and have it valet parked it's worth it.

Great entertainment

By Kathy M |

This is a cluster of small outdoor dining restaurants sitting on Sunset Boulevard. The views are terrific, exotic cars, cute models and we actually saw a tv personality. THE PRICE OF THE FOOD AND DRINKS DEFINITELY IS WORTH THE ENTERTAINMENT.

Seeing stars!

By Simona R |

Anyone who thinks that Los Angeles doesn't have its fair share of sidewalk cafés should pay a visit to Sunset Plaza. A chic, little two-block strip of fashionable but expensive boutiques and outdoor cafés nestled between Hollywood & Beverly Hills, Sunset Plaza's trendy bistros line both sides of the Sunset Strip adding a European flair to West Hollywood.

See and be seen.

By Jerry P |

4 or 5 outdoor cafes along the strip makes it the place to be seen. So many Ferraris and so many bare shoulders. Food is irrelevant... wine as long as it is white works .. but try not to think about it as you drink it. But the people watching is great.. and impresses every out of towner.

Something for everybody

By David P |

Can't go wrong with any of the restaurants that are all next to each other. Choice if 5 restaurants offering: French, Sushi, Chinese, Italian or Burgers.

Our home away from home

By SLWDG |

Been enjoying over 20 years! Le Petit Four is the best Sunset plaza has to offer.... Food is exquisite, with a hip worldy atmosphere. You can see celebs, state officials, and other interesting people! Second favorite is Clafoutis!

Great for people watching!

By Hannah C |

We drove down sunset plaza as well as walking. Great for people watching. Good parking and a range of shops and restaurants.

What's the fuss????

By familytravel4 |

We parked. We walked 10 minutes. It was done. There appeared to be a couple nice places to eat but we had just eaten. There were about 4 shops to walk into. It's in the middle of crazy, busy traffic. Just keep driving into Beverly Hills.

Nice evening experience

By Jan-Erik R |

We spent our first night in LA at Sunset Plaza and that was a nice way to feel the atmosfare. There is a lot of nice restaurants in different price levels and for different tastes. We thought it would be expensive but it was in an affordable level. After dinner we took a walk outside wiskey a go go and other clubs.

Enjoyable Going Around

By Metrek Almetrek |

Very attractive models of theater, movies and actresses.
Designed building and shopping centers for Hollywood giving more attention to the tourists.

BUT:

Crowded
Narrow Streets for such crowds
Very expensive restaurants and Antiques shopping.

' Choices '

By Stew7five |

So many great choices of eateries. Great to have a table on the sidewalk and people watch !!!
Excellent variety of restaurants, quality and value for money.

Amazing service!

By Michaela C |

Came here for a concert with friends and I love the room! The staff was super friendly and kind, making sure everyone was satisfied with their stay. The WiFi was super fast, and easy to connect to. Very relaxing and luxurious ambiance, would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and I can’t wait for another chance to stay here again!

Love the plaza

By matt m |

I lived on Sunset Plaza Dr for many years and loved all the restaurants i could walk to. You have many options at the palm of your hands.

a large area for restaurants on Sunset Boulevard

By sipivu |

This started as a rather small area for shops and a few restaurants. It has now doubled or tripled in size. It is quite a friendly area. You don't find luxurious places, but it is pleasant to have diner in one of its large terraces. It is easy to park.

Parking in rear

By Scott C |

The shops are really cooland neat to browse. You can always find something to buy and there iare excellent places to eat also.

Great burger and lovely staff

By Andrea 🇦🇺 |

I like the burger at Melrose Driver and the staff in particular a young guy was really good to give us some tip about the "celebrity"

We've walked miles

By D w |

I think it's enjoyable to walk leisurely along Sunset and the Plaza. We have done it often. We will stop in to grab lunch at any one of the numerous cafes. We have our "A" favorites. Shops are nearby if you are interested. I think it's best when you are not in a hurry and can just relax and enjoy L.A.

Great place to watch the world go by. Car spotting essential

By SeamusP |

Restaurants, star spotting. Great weather although he locals keep telling us it's a lovely day when every day is apparently the same !

CHIN CHIN - FAST ASIAN ON SUNSET STRIP

By starwatchsam |

Been here a thousand times and 99% of the time it's quite good. O traditionally get the Kung Pao 3 Treasures, which comes with Steak, Chicken and Shrimp in a spicy/sweet sauce with lots of water chestnuts and peppers. Great spot for people watching and usually pretty easy to get a seat outside as a walk-in.

Over Rated and A Waste of Time

By colonelscott |

Locals who go there do so because its close by. Tourists will find nothing of interest here. Its essentially an outdoor mall with little restaurants and while the parking is good, there is nothing special here anymore.

The place to be

By TravelingDog3000 |

Easy parking. Amazing for people watching and dressing up to the nines and having elegant yet still affordable bistro style fine dining. Regular spot when in town.

Strolling the Sunset Strip

By tvaddict2211 |

Plenty of restaurants and cafes to eat or have a coffee while people-watching. Safe, family-friendly, great views and shopping.

Nice stroll at sunset

By Travelaround59 |

We just strolled around here tonight before dinner and it was fun!
Lots of interesting shops and a good choice of food although all a bit on the commercial side (in fact we decided to not eat here). Is “outside” the strip so it makes a bit more quiet.

Always Fun

By ZRobinette |

Parking is fabulous, great place to meet friends for brunch, lunch, or dinner. Lots of fun choices! Shopping too, I love the kid's store next to NU which is moving, sad about that! But, what makes it very beautiful is the parking aspects when you want to meet a bunch of people!

Really nothing much here other than shopping

By Don T |

We walked this area a couple of times and didn't see anything to draw us in. In fact it was a bit hard to define exactly what the Plaza included.

Safe & pretty

By JB |

Love that it's very pretty with beautiful hanging flower baskets,& garden beds,affordable dinning and shopping,can sit and people watch,quite often you'll see celebrities dining out And driving through Main Street.Hate that the coffee in the States isn't what we are used to in Australia but better than nothing.

Cool area in West Hollywood

By Mads |

This is very nice to visit, as it is so different compared to the other end of Sunset Boulevard where the expensive houses are located. Here you some strip clubs and very nice restaurants - can recommend to eat at Le Petit Four.

Underwhelmed

By Jess W |

For a place with such a name ... the actual area was not overwhelming nor all that noticable so look up for the signs

Great shopping nearby

By Christian H |

Not far from the hotel was the Sunset Plaza, with great shops and restaurants and cafes. We loved walking about and enjoying the sites, shops and food of the area

Don't go if you are on a budget!

By Lucy J |

Great food places, like Mel's Diner - but if you want value for money, this is not the place. We loved the designer boutiques and watching the expensive cars go buy, but we saved our money for shopping on Melrose Avenue and Hollywood.

Oldie but Goodie

By Cynna K |

Try lunch at Petit Four, for great people watching, good onion soup, friendly waiters and sexy looking people

Shopping and Food close by

By The-Sacha |

Good shopping and great mix of restaurants right in the hood.
The Japanese restaurant was very nice... best view I've seen out of an LA car park...

Great place to hang out in the heart of Los Angeles

By Op4play |

Been coming to this 4 block strip since the 1980's and I simply love it. A nice assortment of restaurants with outdoor seating. Great for people watching, and taking in the nightlife. My favorite restaurant recently closed Clafoutis, dont understand it, the best brunch in all,of LA. Chin-Chin is on the corner and other fine eateries line both sides of the street. Ample parking for Sunset Plaza customers, but be careful if you park there and cross the street, you will be ticketed and towed. This is a great place to nurse a bottle of wine and watch the Ferraris and other exotics pass by.

Perfect slice of LA life

By paulajeand |

Excellent area for shopping, eating and people watching. Many outdoor cafes and high end rental stores. I particularly like
Caleb Cordero for locally made shoes.

ok for shopping and people watching

By RonWamberal |

Yes, it does what all the reviewers say, lots of food, drinks and shopping, also people watching but at the same time , a little too glitzy with no subtlety.

Great for a stroll and more

By eurohandsofsteel |

Many great restaurants and cafes to visit while people watching. A must see for sure. Some exclusive shops as well.

Not worth the detour

By Eric Tabet |

We were advised to go there to browse and have dinner. Nice summer day with the family, but many places closed. Had dinner there but service was bad/approximative. Go somewhere else...

Upmarket strip

By moloha |

It had a village vibe, great places to eat and lots of trendy stores to shop at. You might see a celebrity or two here. We spotted Micky Rourke dinning with his latest squeeze. There are a variety of restaurants in this area from Asian, Italian, French, Mediterranean etc..

A mus see, great vibes to the area

By DM101 |

Great var of shops, cafes, bars, really worth a visit, very welcoming and inspiring , you'll love it, great mix of stores, easy access.

Parking at Sunset Plaza

By Catherine E |

Please don't ever go there! I parked there and got a fine! You don't want to be your day and on ruined by these lower class.
Terrible is the word ( also they got me a fine on Saint Valentines Day) you can imagine what kind they are!

Shop Til You Drop, but bring Cash

By Karen R |

A neat area on Sunset in West Hollywood with the very best in designer clothing and accessories, plus a number of restaurants. Great area for people watching

Always fun and fabulous!

By Candy P |

Great food and many options and awesome people watching. Some staff snotty, but most very sweet. Definitely worth stopping in.

The Famous Sunset Strip- and Spectacular Panaromic L.A. Views

By JBjeffreyl |

L.A..'s Westside, more specifically, high above WeHo and before Hollywood's Main Street - along the Famous Sunset Strip is a bunch of Cool Restaurants and Boutique Fashionable Shops- and a Famous, Simply Terrific Spa = Ole Henriksen.
These places cater to the Hip, the Cool, and the everyday Hard-Working Creative's from behind the scenes of the "Industry". Frequently, even the Big Stars, in their comfort clothes enjoy 'People watching' (it's them) from the street side and the City Views from the back porches looking down over the parking lot towards the City and Ocean- Night-time is Very Cool- and
On the 2nd Sunday of each month- a FUN FREE Car Show in the parking lot- have you ever seen- 10 Roll's, 12 Bentley's, 15 Ferrari's, 17 Lambo's, 25 Special Aston Martins, BMW's, Jaguars, Hot Rods and 50's Muscle Cars all together = L.A. at it's best ..............

awesome

By Nikki M |

shopping was great. friendly people. nice walking around and window shopping too. parking was easy as well.

Stepped up!

By Rick S |

This place is walking distance from about any thing you could need or want. Our hotel room and countyard were very very beatiful and the House of Blues is 2 doors down that was fun but the hotel was as nice a place i'd ever been the staff (paticularly Carlos and Fred the manager and general manager) were very very accomodating the rest of the staff also Our room was extremely nice windows opened to the courtyard the jasmine and bougenvilla were right at our 2nd story window fragrancing our room Beds were very comfortable parking was easy and more than ample pricing was very fair GOOD TIMES! at the Best West Sunset Plaza Hotel rick

Ok

By Annieandethan |

Went with my boyfriend like a normal ad shopping mall it was nice bought some stuff and likes the area

We walked up to Sunset Plaza from the hotel.

By Giudita |

West Hollywood is a great area to walk in. We stopped in at Rosa Mexicana for a Margarita and some guacamole with chips.

Non-Stop Choices!

By NeedsAVacation25 |

You can eat at very high end gourmet restaurants with that kind of service, and you can shop in high end stores, but the food is very reasonably prices and atmosphere is to die for.

Unique shopping Plaza

By dnaleciz |

After a good lunch, ventured over to the Sunset Plaza, to spend a few hours checking out the shops. Reportedly Sunset Plaza is “one-of-a-kind” shopping area where you can complete all your shopping needs at one location. This shopping center is unique, as it is not a conventional shopping center or mall. Spread over two blocks of Sunset Boulevard, it seems to be a collection of retail stores with 660 parking spaces located in front and back side of the stores. Parking is free. The Plaza is currently home for 40 different business, (i.e., Restaurants (7), Health and Fitness Centers (6), Beauty Care (6), Miscellaneous Services (6), Fashion & Clothing stores (11) and Jewelry stores (5). Stopped off at the Sunset Kids boutique and purchased several items of clothing for our great granddaughter. Large selection of merchandise. Very friendly staff. Just be prepared for sticker shock. Clothing items are expensive. Most certainly not Walmart prices. It should be noted that the store directory is incorrect. The Golden Hawk Clothing has shut down its Sunset Plaza location and moved to Beverly Hills. We were unable to locate several other businesses listed on the directory. Found numerous vacant shops located throughout the complex. As we wandered around noted a wide range of different eateries. Bossa Nova (Brazilian), Chin Chin (Asian and Chinese) and Tocaya Organica (Mexican). All are top notch establishments with good ratings and reviews. Having just had lunch, we decided to pass on these restaurants. Will return for lunch soon. Overall a nice mall with a lot to do and good selection of top-notch restaurants and shops. Great place to spend a few hours and to escape from the heat wave outside.

Shop & Eat with the Stars

By Nanc8 |

I can't wait to shop & dine at Sunset Plaza when I come to West Hollywood. I love to shop at Nicole Miller, BCBG,& Sunset Kids. They have great finds & good attentive service. It is so much nicer than mall shopping.My best service this year was from the owner of Sunset Kids. I needed various sizes for 5 different children & he was so helpful.We always shop & then have lunch , or dinner. We never miss the landmark Mel's & we love Cafe Med. I have seen several celebrities there. We like to dine on the patio & watch the tour buses, nice cars(old & new) & people watch. You have to go.

Sunset at West Hollywood

By PrestonGuild |

A nice area with shops, bars and places to eat and people watching. take a stroll or just drive through. swe were short of time so could not stay longer but just feel the vibe.

fun to people watch

By sinnee3 |

Was a great atmosphere to relax after a busy day. great for people watching and for getting a nice meal.

Lots of nice places to eat

By Mariao6 |

We loved Le Petit Four (awesome brunch), Eveleigh (nice wine and great salads) Boxwood on the Roof (great burgers)

Good place to spend an evening

By Skytruck |

Used to have dinner there with friends and my daughters. I mean mostly at Le Petite Four Restaurant.

Why is this here?

By gary13phnompenh |

Have just no idea why Trip Advisor would include this in a list of things to see and do in Los Angeles. Just another glitzy (and prone to being seedy) mini mall.

look like europe!!!!

By Klalo |

a lot of outside dinning place, le petit four is great to have dinner with friends or a coffee

Good spot

By CarmichaelVentura |

This is a good spot for dining, shopping and people-watching. Good parking. A bit pricey. Not clear how good it is to breathe all those fumes!

Restaurant Heaven

By Marie R |

The strip is so well accommodated for whatever your palette requires. Great variety and options for all

Delightful

By CayucosGirl |

Just a wonderful place to stay! Rooms are large, beds are comfortable, nice breakfast that is included with your room rate and the staff are so very nice. Wouldn't stay any place else.

Shop and Eat

By worldwide002 |

Great place to stroll in the sun and stop for lunch, of course the boutiques are high end so good for window shopping unless you can afford!

Money

By Ydnar |

That's what you need to truly appreciate the Plaza. A stroll by takes only a few minutes but there are many opportunities to drop a lot of cash on the high-end shopping and retail offerings. If over-priced food and people watching appeal to you, definitely stop here, you will not be disappointed. There were actually some "beautiful people" when I visited.

Great shopping...

By JamesE339 |

Great shopping, great dining options...great sight seeing.....

Star Spotting

By Steven B |

If you come to LA and your searching for a celeb this is the spot. Tons of food options at wonderful outdoor eating areas. The beautiful people are here even if they aren't stars. Great for people watching besides a great afternoon dining spot. Check out the million dollar cars on Sunset as they pass by. Everyone needs to eat here once.

On The Strip

By Jeremy T |

I walk by Sunset Plaza as I stay not far. There are restaurants as well as shops to peruse.When eating at one of there you can watch the world go by.

Love Cravings

By Nicholas G |

Excellent meal and great location. Been there couple of times and never was disappointed. Yesterday I tried New York Steak with chipotle butter... It was one of the best steak I've ever had. Definitely will be back. Nick G.

A good shops and restaurants

By Gary M |

We are here at an Italian restaurant twice during our short stay
A lovely place to walk a and shop or browse

Great Shopping with Family

By Suzie L |

We went there as a family and everyone found plenty to buy and look at. It is a great mall with many different restaurants, offering very good menus. We ate a variety of food, which was all very tasty. We had a great time and will soon visit again.

Great little shops and restaurants.

By Jasha S |

Lots to choose from, asian, sushi, italian. Best there is Le Petit Four, an authentic French bistro.

Shop

By ijnanyay |

Average stores and food places parking is cool you just have to validate with a store like we went into target and where you can validate your parking

Trendy and Hip

By George Vreeland Hill |

This area of Sunset offers pretty much everything to the trendy buyer no matter if it is a coffee drink or clothes.
You will find it here.
I do.

George Vreeland Hill

Sunset plaza

By selma233 |

Big parking on the back for customersand easy access. Many restaurants and café but my experience was in Le petit Four ( Italian even though the name is French) good food, no reservation needed, pleasant staff. Next to it Sushiya excellent sushi and sliders, my favourites are Bim bim, beef slicers, tacos and crispy rice with spicy tuna. Service is good.
Highly recommended for both places.

just a old street

By MC C |

Just more ad billboards to look at. There is nothing special about this spot. There are people, shops and night lights.

LA at its best

By Anna M |

Loved watching the fancy expensive cars and seeing the LA model / actor scene. Overheard a few conversations at lunch which were so over the top. restaurants here were reasonably priced and outside tables are the best for seeing LA at its best

Mr

By GWDR |

If you like night life and restaurants you have come to the right place.Seems to be quite quite Monday through Wednesday but Thursday is another story. The sky bar Mondrian is worth a look remember it can get busy and the security won't let you in ( guys ). Didn't really go to a bad restaurant. The bus to see the celbs homes is worth while

Bling...bling...bling

By JaffaProf |

If bling is your thing, then not to be missed. Not where you will find those sought after US bargains!

Plenty of eateries nothing special

By David & Tricia |

Sunset plaza is part of sunset boulevard. Whilst there is a strip of restaurants, it is just a name where supposably celebrities eat? Nothing special.

Nice!

By luckyzac2014 |

Lovely part of the famous and amazing Sunset Boulevard.
Many nice shops, restaurants and bars to watch nice people and to be seen.

So much of Hollywood right here!

By BeaBC |

My favourite restaurant since the 80's, Chin Chin, is right here on the corner. You can sit inside or out and the people watching is fabulous right here. Great shops and a real Hollywood feel.

Nice quality restaurants

By pattayainsider |

I like Clafutis best, but all the restaurants are great. Free parking behind, very rare for L.A. or anywhere else!
