History

DineLA is a marketing association run by the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board and American Express, created to promote Los Angeles as a prime dining location. First introduced to Los Angeles County in January 2008, dineLA's Restaurant Week had over 140 different restaurants. In 2014, dineLA's Restaurant Week partnered with over 300 restaurants from all over the county. It allowed diners to explore new choices and dine at otherwise unaffordable places for lower than normal prices. However, participating restaurants sometimes offered limited menus or simpler dishes than normal.^[1]

Starting in 2022, the Restaurant Week was organized in spring and fall. The Fall 2023 event had 350 participating restaurants.^[2]
