Beverly Hills still does glamour well, but its best modern version is more fluid than the old “power lunch only” stereotype. A great day here can start with coffee or a market stop, move into shopping or garden walks, turn into a long lunch on Canon, and finish with rooftop cocktails or a polished hotel dinner.
The daytime Beverly Hills rhythm
One of the easiest ways to “do” Beverly Hills well is to build around Canon Drive, Rodeo-adjacent shopping, and Beverly Gardens Park. Beverly Gardens Park remains one of the neighborhood’s best lifestyle anchors, with the Beverly Hills sign, lily pond, and a long linear green space that makes the city feel more walkable and less purely retail-driven.
Classic Beverly Hills dining that still matters
Spago
If you want one restaurant that still reads as quintessential Beverly Hills, Spago is it. Wolfgang Puck’s flagship on Canon Drive remains one of the city’s defining fine-dining addresses, with a market-driven California menu and the kind of service that fits both celebratory dinners and polished client lunches.
Wally’s Beverly Hills
For a more social, wine-forward Beverly Hills meal, Wally’s is a strong choice. The restaurant describes itself as a hybrid of restaurant, retail wine shop, and cheese-focused marketplace, which makes it ideal for a long lunch, a casual luxury dinner, or an “order a bottle and linger” kind of night.
Newer and newer-feeling Beverly Hills options
Costa Covo Osteria
Inside L’Ermitage Beverly Hills, Costa Covo Osteria brings a more Riviera-leaning coastal Italian mood to the city. The restaurant positions itself around coastal Italian cuisine, market-fresh crudo, handmade pasta, and a polished-but-not-stiff luxury tone that works well for Beverly Hills.
Poza
Also at L’Ermitage, Poza gives Beverly Hills another rooftop-style option without repeating the bars from your last article. The hotel describes it as rooftop dining with unobstructed sunset views, reimagined Californian fare, and cocktails in a poolside lounge setting, very useful for a dressy-but-relaxed evening plan.
Rooftop and drinks without repeating your last blog
The Rooftop Beverly Hills
At the Waldorf Astoria, The Rooftop Beverly Hills is one of the strongest alternatives to the places in your previous post. The hotel describes it as a panoramic rooftop dining venue with 360-degree views over Beverly Hills and Hollywood. Current listings indicate the rooftop is being refreshed and is set to reopen in April 2026.
Lifestyle pairings that make the neighborhood feel complete
Greystone Mansion & Gardens
For a Beverly Hills outing that feels like more than shopping and dinner, Greystone Mansion & Gardens is one of the city’s best add-ons. The City of Beverly Hills lists the grounds as open to the public daily, and the estate remains one of the most atmospheric historic sites in the neighborhood. It works especially well as a pre-dinner stop or a daytime detour before Canon or Rodeo.
Beverly Gardens Park
If Greystone is the grand-historic version of Beverly Hills, Beverly Gardens Park is the everyday-iconic one. It is one of the easiest ways to slow the neighborhood down, good for a quick walk, a photo stop, or simply breaking up a shopping-and-dining day with something more open-air and local-feeling.
Two easy Beverly Hills itineraries
The polished Beverly Hills day
Start with a walk through Beverly Gardens Park, shift into shopping around Rodeo and Canon, settle into lunch at Wally’s, and finish with dinner at Costa Covo Osteria or Spago depending on whether you want something more wine-market social or more classic Beverly Hills formal.
The “make it a night” version
Do a late-afternoon stop at Greystone Mansion & Gardens, then head to Poza for sunset drinks and continue into dinner nearby, or keep The Rooftop Beverly Hills in mind as it returns in 2026 if you want a skyline-driven alternative.
What makes Beverly Hills work so well right now is that it still delivers glamour, but in more than one register. You can do timeless Canon Drive dining, wine-and-market energy, historic gardens, and a rooftop night without repeating the same old script. That flexibility is what keeps Beverly Hills useful as both a lifestyle neighborhood and a destination: polished, beautiful, and still easy to reinvent from one outing to the next.
