Where is the best nightlife in Los Angeles?
I like The Polo Lounge at The Beverly Hills Hotel and the lounge at Hotel Bel-Air. Both are understated and elegant, and I like the cocktails at the Bel-Air the best. -

What are the best things to see and do in Los Angeles?
It’s a great city, and it really depends on what time of year you come. If you come in late summer, August, September or October, you have the beaches. But I love LACMA [Los Angeles County Museum of Art], our museum here and MOCA [The Museum of Contemporary Art]. I love the Walt Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry. And naturally for a visitor who doesn’t live here, it’s lots of fun to visit Hollywood Boulevard to see the Kodak Theatre and to see the Chinese Theater. -

What are the five best Italian restaurants in Los Angeles?
I have two, really. One is elegant — it’s called Valentino, and one is more like an osteria and it’s called Angelini. -

Which five Los Angeles restaurants are best for brunch?
You know, the best place to have brunch in Los Angeles is Hotel Bel-Air. It’s the setting and the food mixed together — I think it’s perfect. You feel like you’re in California. It’s not like if you walk into a luxury hotel and you think you could be in Chicago. The Bel-Air is the ultimate California hotel and restaurant. -

Chef, Restaurateur
Los Angeles
Hailed as the king of California cuisine, Wolfgang Puck helms one of the most successful restaurant hospitality empires in the world. Born in Austria, Puck began his formal culinary training when he was 14 and then worked at some of France’s best restaurants before moving to the United States at the age of 24. In 1975, Puck began his Los Angeles career at Ma Maison and eventually opened his first restaurant, Spago, in 1982. Spago was enormously successful and garnered Puck three James Beard Awards while his signature California cuisine catapulted him to worldwide culinary stardom. Since then, he and his team have opened successful and critically acclaimed restaurants across the country and, most recently, at the new 45 Park Lane hotel in London and at the iconic, glamorous Hotel Bel-Air.
