Musso & Frank Grill
Best Classic Grill in Los Angeles · CA
Hollywood's oldest restaurant, pouring martinis since 1919.
Musso & Frank Grill has been Hollywood's oldest restaurant since 1919 — a red-leather, dark-wood room where the martinis are stirred tableside by red-jacketed waiters who've worked there for decades. Fitzgerald, Chandler, Faulkner and Bukowski all drank here; the back room was the unofficial writers' commissary of studio-era Hollywood.
Four generations of the same family have kept everything exactly as it was — the same booths, the same grill, the same century-old recipes — earning it the 2025 Centurion Award in Los Angeles.
