It's no surprise, then, that inside The Peninsula Beverly Hills is The Belvedere. Opened in 1991, along with the hotel, The Belvedere is among California's most popular restaurants. In fact, it was voted the "Best Hotel Restaurant in Los Angeles" by Zagat in 2005 and is the only restaurant in Southern California to earn the AAA Five Diamond award for 12 consecutive years. With such prestigious accolades to its credit, one would expect that The Belvedere attracts the upper echelon of hungry Hollywood types. And in fact, during the day that's exactly who you'll find there. At both breakfast and lunch the dining room is teeming with powerful locals, including influential talent agents, entertainment executives and power brokers. At night, however, the crowd is decidedly less corporate, consisting instead of couples and special occasion diners. |
