Home Care In Beverly Hills, CA

Home Care Beverly Hills, CA

They say that your golden years are the best years of your life. For most older Americans, that's how it should be - a time to relax, reflect, and live life in a familiar place. After all, senior citizens in the U.S. have worked tirelessly to build a better economy, serve their communities, and raise families.

However, as seniors grow older, completing daily tasks like showering and enjoying activities such as visiting the historic Greystone Mansion & Gardens: The Doheny Estate gets harder without someone by their side. Unfortunately, many older Americans aren't able to rely on their adult children for help. The reality in today's world is that family members do not have the skills or time to dedicate to caring for their parents. That's where Always Best Care Senior Services comes in.

Our in-home care services are for people who prefer to stay at home as they grow older but need ongoing care that family or friends cannot provide. More and more older adults prefer to live far away from long-term, institutionalized facilities and closer to the place where they feel most comfortable - their home. Home care in Beverly Hills, CA is a safe, effective way to give your loved ones the care they need when they need it the most.

The Always Best Care Difference

Since 1996, Always Best Care has provided non-medical in-home care for seniors to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle as they get older. We are proud to have helped more than 25,000 seniors maintain higher levels of dignity and respect. We focus on providing seniors with the highest level of in-home care available so that they may live happily and independently.

Unlike some senior care companies, we genuinely want to be included in our clients' lives. We believe that personalized care is always the better option over a "one size fits all" approach. To make sure our senior clients receive the best care possible, we pair them with compassionate caregivers who understand their unique needs. That way, they may provide care accordingly without compromising their wellbeing.

The Always Best Care difference lies in life's little moments - where compassionate care and trustworthy experience come together to help seniors live a fruitful, healthy life. Whether you are an aging adult that can't quite keep up with life's daily tasks or the child of a senior who needs regular in-home services, Always Best Care is here to help.

“I highly recommend Always Best Care for every aspect from the ones seeking care for a loved one or themselves, all the way to the ones seeking an opportunity to care for a senior. I personally worked for ABC, and throughout my years with them I had the pleasure of interacting with the seniors as well as with the amazing caregivers. From the stories of a much more simpler time in the elders life to the reasons from a caregiver wanting to truly care for the seniors. (Most reasons are personal to them that have impacted their life and heart). This is truly a caring company with exceptional professional staff. It's hard to find a company that demonstrates both of those traits....”

“I cannot say enough good things about Always Best Care in the South Bay. I was lucky to be referred to ABC when my Father suddenly needed in-home care several years ago and I hired ABC again a few months ago when my friend needed in-home care. The learning curve is steep when a family member is no longer independent. Having reliable, caring and professional caregivers is invaluable in getting through these challenges. Hiring the caregivers from ABC allowed me to be the "daughter" again. I absolutely could not have cared for my beloved Father or my dear friend without ABC by my side!”

“Always Best Care agency has been wonderful to work with. The caregivers they have provided to stay with my dear friend, who has dementia, have been outstanding. My husband, an MD, and I, an RN, have rather high standards and have found all of the caregivers to be professional, caring and extremely reliable (24/7 care in this case) They go above and beyond expectations. I have felt safe with the caregivers,as they are also down-to-earth; caring people. Dr. David Hart is the main point person in this family-run agency and he is not only a very caring person, he is extremely intelligent in his communication, yet very down-to earth at the same time. He is responsive to any issues that arise immediately…not only for the client, but also to his caregivers, who he genuinely cares about. That is perhaps why he attracts and retains such stellar employees, We feel very lucky to have found ABC Senior Care services. Ilene Watson, RN and Dr. Walter Watson,MD, Manhattan Beach, CA”

“Carrie, David, and their team are terrific to work with. Carrie has been a lifesaver by helping us to quickly find a wonderful 24/7 board and care facility for our loved one who is suffering from both advanced dementia and a broken, severe arthritic neck. They have provided very capable temporary care givers to us to help with taking our loved one to doctor's appointments and during the time our loved one was being treated in the hospital. David has thoroughly educated us on all aspects of dementia and counseled the family members to help sort out their emotions during these difficult times. We strongly recommend Always Best Care South Bay to anyone needing advise, help, and services to find care facilities, care givers, and/or counseling.”

“From the moment I first spoke to Mark Wecker at Always Best Care, he was kind, caring and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure to ask all the right questions to help my siblings and me find the perfect place for our father who had very advanced Parkinson's Disease. He took us to places that fit the high quality we were looking for and in our budget range. Mark showed genuine concern for us and my father. And he helped us navigate through a challenging situation. We made a great decision based on his expert advice. Unfortunately, my father passed away before we could bring him to LA. But I will always be grateful for the detailed attention we received from Mark and Always Best Care.”

“My son and I have received family counseling from Dr. Hart for nearly two years. We both suffer from PTSD, among other mental disabilities, and have been seen by a number of therapists over the years. We have found Dr. Hart’s care to be among the most helpful. He is kind, understanding, and patient. Rather than employing long term, traditional psychotherapy or other limited methods exclusively, he uses different approaches to break through a person’s natural resistance. He suggests interpretations of feelings and actions, asks questions that show real insight, and then gives practical and usually appropriate advice that can be accepted or discussed further. He has treated us with respect and even with a non-intrusive, kind of professional affection. We would recommend him to friends and family without hesitation.”

From the beginning to the end the staff were professional and courteous. My dad unfortunately decided to end services because of his stubbornness. Mark was understanding and expressed his concern for my Dad's wellbeing. He didn't push for us to continue services. I would work with ABC again if my father agrees to resume services.

“I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. David Hart for your elder-care needs. Dr. Hart is an incredibly knowledgeable and caring person who helped our family beyond measure to provide the best level of care for our mother who has Alzheimer's Disease. We engaged Dr. Hart to 1) conduct his own periodic assessments of our mother; 2) create a forum for our broader family, including our mom, to communicate and ask questions; 3) provide training and resources; and 4) help our family evaluate and implement an interim and long-term care plan for our mother. DR. HART EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS ON EVERY LEVEL. Prior to meeting Dr. Hart we had received a lot of conflicting information and our broader family was experiencing a very high level of stress and frustration. Thankfully, after engaging with Dr. Hart for several months, our family became knowledgeable, we communicated well with each other, and we just implemented a long-term care plan that addresses all of our mom's needs and one that she really enjoys. DR. HART IS THE BEST AND HE TRULY CARES ABOUT HIS PATIENTS AND THE FAMILIES HE WORKS WITH. Thank you Dr. Hart for all of you have done for our family. Words cannot express our gratitude.”

“My widowed 80-year-old mother who has Alzheimer's disease has been living alone for 3 years. She has been extremely resistant to having caregivers in her home and my brother and I had all but given up. We have been amazed at the progress we've made since enlisting the help of Dr. David Hart at Always Best Care. In a little over a month, Mom has accepted a caregiver and is considering a move to an assisted living facility. Equally important, the support and assistance we have received in making both large and small decisions has been invaluable and a huge relief. I also highly recommend the Caregiving Essentials class taught by Dr. Hart, which covers everything you need to know in a single 3-1/2 hour "bootcamp" session, including brain science, communication tips, and resources. (GPS shoe insert, who knew?!) The class would benefit anyone who has a friend or family member suffering from dementia.”

“Dr. Hart has been of monumental assistance to our family during a very difficult time. We first learned of Dr. David’s practice when mom was first diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). His support groups for families and patients offered comfort and practical advice from others going through the same experience. He provided essential information—facts about dementia and lifestyle changes to slow the process—based on the latest research findings, sparing us the time and frustration of navigating the web and sorting facts from myths. But most important to me has been the emotional support Dr. David has personally provided to my sister and I, and the trusting relationship he established with mom. His professional empathy and experience with human behavior as well as his expertise in the field of geriatrics and cognition combine to provide an array of servicesthat will truly make the difference toward a successful transition for elders and their families.

What is Non-Medical Senior Care in Beverly Hills, CA?

lm-check

Home is where the heart is. While that saying can sound a tad cliche, it is especially true for many seniors living in America. When given a choice, older adults most often prefer to grow older at home. An AARP study found that three out of four adults over the age of 50 want to stay in their homes and communities as they age.

lm-check

When you begin to think about why, it makes sense. Home offers a sense of security, comfort, and familiarity.

lm-check

The truth is, as we age, we begin to rely on others for help. When a family is too busy or lives too far away to fulfill this role, in-home senior care is often the best solution. Home care services allow seniors to enjoy personal independence while also receiving trustworthy assistance from a trained caregiver.

lm-check

At Always Best Care, we offer a comprehensive range of home care services to help seniors stay healthy while they get the help they need to remain independent. As your senior loved one gets older, giving them the gift of senior care is one of the best ways to show your love, even if you live far away.

Home Care Beverly Hills, CA
Respite Care

Respite Care Services

According to AARP, more than 53 million adults living in the U.S. provide care to someone over 50 years old. Unfortunately, these caregivers experience stress, exhaustion, and even depression. Our respite care services help family caregivers address urgent obligations, spend time with their children, and enjoy nearby activities. Perhaps more importantly, respite care gives family members time to recharge and regroup. Taking personal time to de-stress reduces the risk of caregiver burnout. So, if you've always wanted to eat at the local Maude or visit Beverly Estate, don't feel bad. Doing so is great for both you and your loved one.

At the end of the day, our goal is to become a valuable part of your senior's daily routine. That way, we may help give them the highest quality of life possible. We know that staying at home is important for your loved one, and we are here to help make sure that is possible.

If you have been on the fence about non-medical home care, there has never been a better time than now to give your senior the care, assistance, and companionship they deserve.

Aging in Place: The Preferred Choice for Most Seniors

While it's true that some seniors have complicated medical needs that prevent them from staying at home, aging in place is often the best arrangement for seniors and their families. With a trusted caregiver, seniors have the opportunity to live with a sense of dignity and do so as they see fit - something that is unavailable to many older people today.

In-home care makes it possible for millions of seniors to age in place every year. Rather than moving to a strange nursing home, seniors have the chance to stay at home where they feel the happiest and most comfortable.

Here are just a few of the reasons why older men and women prefer to age at home:

How much does a senior's home truly mean to them?

A study published by the American Society on Aging found that more than half of seniors say their home's emotional value means more than how much their home is worth in monetary value. It stands to reason, then, that a senior's home is where they want to grow old.

With the help of elderly care in Beverly Hills, CA, seniors don't have to age in a sterilized care facility. Instead, they can age gracefully in the place they want to be most: their home. In contrast, seniors who move to a long-term care facility must adapt to new environments, new people, and new systems that the facility implements. At this stage in life, this kind of drastic change can be more harmful than helpful.

Institutional care facilities like nursing homes often put large groups of people together to live in one location. On any given day, dozens of staff members and caregivers run in and out of these facilities. Being around so many new people in a relatively small living environment can be dangerous for a seniors' health and wellbeing. When you consider that thousands of seniors passed away in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for in-home care is often a safer, healthier choice for seniors.

Aging in place has been shown to improve seniors' quality of life, which helps boost physical health and also helps insulate them from viral and bacterial risks found in elderly living facilities.

For many seniors, the ability to live independently with assistance from a caregiver is a priceless option. With in-home care, seniors experience a higher level of independence and freedom - much more so than in other settings like a nursing home. When a senior has the chance to age in place, they get to live life on their own terms, inside the house that they helped make into a home. More independence means more control over their personal lives, too, which leads to increased levels of fulfillment, happiness, and personal gratification. Over time, these positive feelings can manifest into a healthier, longer life.

More independence, a healthier life, and increased comfort are only a few benefits of aging in place. You have to take into consideration the role of cost and convenience. Simply put, it's usually easier and more affordable to help seniors age in place than it is to move them into an institutional care facility. According to the US Department of Housing and Urban Development, seniors who age in the comfort of their homes can save thousands of dollars per month.

In-home care services from Always Best Care, for instance, are often less expensive than long-term solutions, which can cost upwards of six figures per year. To make matters worse, many residential care facilities are reluctant to accept long-term care insurance and other types of payment assistance.

With Always Best Care's home care services, seniors and their families have a greater level of control over their care plans. In-home care gives seniors the chance to form a bond with a trusted caregiver and also receive unmatched care that is catered to their needs. In long-term care facilities, seniors and their loved ones have much less control over their care plan and have less of a say in who provides their care.

 Elderly Care Beverly Hills, CA

Affordable Care

In-home care is a valuable resource that empowers seniors to age in place on their own terms. However, a big concern for many families and their loved ones is how much in-home care costs. If you're worried that in-home care is too expensive, you may be pleasantly surprised to learn that it is one of the most affordable senior care arrangements available.

Typically, hiring an Always Best Care in-home caregiver for a few hours a week is more affordable than sending your loved one to a long-term care facility. This is true even for seniors with more complex care needs.

At Always Best Care, we will work closely with you and your family to develop a Care Plan that not only meets your care needs, but your budget requirements, too. Once we discover the level of care that you or your senior need, we develop an in-home care plan that you can afford.

In addition to our flexible care options, families should also consider the following resources to help offset potential home care costs:

If your loved one qualifies, Medicaid may help reduce in-home care costs. Review your CA's Medicaid program laws and benefits, and make sure your senior's financial and medical needs meet Medicaid eligibility requirements.
Attendance and aid benefits through military service can cover a portion of the costs associated with in-home care for veterans and their spouses.
Many senior care services like in-home care are included in long-term care insurance options. Research different long-term care solutions to find a plan that provides coverage for senior care.
Home care can be included as part of a senior's private insurance plan. Read over your loved one's insurance policy carefully or speak with their insurance provider to determine if in-home care is covered.
Depending on the life insurance plan, you may be able to apply your policy toward long-term care. You may be able to use long-term-care coverage to help pay for in-home elderly care.
 Senior Care Beverly Hills, CA

Compassionate Care. Trusted Caregivers.

When you or your senior loved one needs assistance managing daily tasks at home, finding a qualified caregiver can be challenging. It takes a special kind of person to provide reliable care for your senior loved one. However, a caregiver's role involves more than meal preparation and medication reminders. Many seniors rely on their caregivers for companionship, too.

Our companion care services give seniors the chance to socialize in a safe environment and engage in activities at home. These important efforts boost morale and provide much-needed relief from repetitive daily routines. A one-on-one, engaging conversation can sharpen seniors' minds and give them something in which to be excited.

At Always Best Care, we only hire care providers that we would trust to care for our own loved ones. Our senior caregivers in Beverly Hills, CA understand how important it is to listen and communicate with their seniors. A seemingly small interaction, like a short hug goodbye, can make a major difference in a senior's day. Instead of battling against feelings of isolation, seniors begin to look forward to seeing their caregiver each week.

Understanding the nuances of senior care is just one of the reasons why our care providers are so great at their job.

Unlike some senior care companies, our caregivers must undergo extensive training before they work for Always Best Care. In addition, our caregivers receive ongoing training throughout the year. This training ensures that their standard of care matches up to the high standards we've come to expect. During this training, they will brush up on their communication skills, safety awareness, and symptom spotting. That way, your loved one receives the highest level of non-medical home care from day one.

Assisted Living Referral Services

While it's true that many seniors prefer to age at home, sometimes in-home care isn't the best fit. For those seniors and their families, choosing an assisted living facility makes more sense. Unfortunately, finding the optimal care facility is easier said than done in today's day and age. That's when Always Best Care's assisted living referral services begin to make a lot of sense.

Assisted living is a form of housing intended for seniors who require varying degrees of medical and personal attention. Accommodations may include single rooms, apartments, or shared living arrangements. Assisted living communities are typically designed to resemble a home-like environment and are physically constructed to encourage the independence of residents.


Respite Care Beverly Hills, CA

At assisted living communities, seniors receive help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also benefit from coordination of services with outside healthcare providers, and monitoring of resident activities to ensure their health, safety, and well-being. Caregivers who work at assisted living communities can also provide medication administration and personal care services for older adults.

Other services offered within assisted living communities can include some or all of the following:

  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Recreational Activities
  • Social Outings
  • Emergency Medical Response
  • Medication Monitoring
  • Family Visitation
  • Personal Care
 Caregivers Beverly Hills, CA

At Always Best Care, our representatives can match your senior's emotional, physical, and financial needs with viable assisted living communities nearby. Results are based on comparative data, so you can select the best choice for you or your loved one.

Always Best Care works closely with local senior living communities to gain valuable knowledge that we then use to help seniors and their loved ones make informed decisions. This information can include basic care and rent, resident availability, and services provided. Because Always Best Care is compensated by these communities, we provide senior living referral services at no extra cost to you.

Some of the most popular assisted living communities to consider in our area include the following:

  • Sunrise of Beverly Hills
  • The Watermark at Beverly Hills
  • Senior Care Authority - Los Angeles
  • Assisted Living Locators Los Angeles
  • Alternative Home Health Care
  • Better House Assisted

Zoë Kravitz offered Taylor Swift’s Beverly Hills mansion during California’s wildfires crisis

Zoë Kravitz has revealed Taylor Swift generously offered her her Beverly Hills mansion as a safe haven during California’s recent wildfires. The actress, 36, spoke about the incident during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, describing how Taylor, 35, opened her $25 million 1930s mansion to her and her mother Lisa Bonet, 55, amid the wildfire crisis — only for the pair to leave part of the singer’s home “completely destroyed.” Zoë said: “We ended up having to stay there for about two w...

Zoë Kravitz has revealed Taylor Swift generously offered her her Beverly Hills mansion as a safe haven during California’s recent wildfires. The actress, 36, spoke about the incident during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, describing how Taylor, 35, opened her $25 million 1930s mansion to her and her mother Lisa Bonet, 55, amid the wildfire crisis — only for the pair to leave part of the singer’s home “completely destroyed.” Zoë said: “We ended up having to stay there for about two weeks. “And Taylor has this beautiful house. It’s from the ’30s, something you want to preserve and take care of.” Despite her usual care as a houseguest, Zoë admitted a mishap occurred in Taylor’s bathroom. She said: “I try to be a good houseguest, I try to leave places better than I found them.” But as she and her mum were tidying up at the end of their stay, Zoë received a call from Lisa. She found her mother “crouched in the corner in this weird way” in the upstairs bathroom. Zoë added: “And I’m like, ‘What’s going on, dude?’ And she’s like, ‘So I was washing my face and I had Orpheus and I just put her down for a second. Closed the door and she found this little hole in the corner'.” The hole trapped Lisa’s pet snake Orpheus in the wall behind a built-in banquette. Their attempts to retrieve the serpent caused a frantic scramble that sent it further into the structure. Eventually, Taylor’s house manager arrived with a crowbar to dismantle the banquette. Zoë added: “We’re ripping up the tile. We’re scratching the walls. Completely destroyed Taylor’s bathroom and there was just this moment where I was like, ‘Either we destroy her bathroom or I have to tell her that there’s a snake somewhere in her house.” She said she assured Taylor’s manager: “Obviously, I’m gonna pay for everything to be fixed. Please just don’t say anything until it’s fixed.” When Zoë later called Swift, the singer was already aware. She said: “I remember calling her saying, ‘Hey, I wanted to talk to you about something.’ And she was like, ‘Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in my house and destroyed my bathroom?'” Zoë has been friends with Swift for over a decade and has collaborated on her music, co-writing the 2022 songs Karma and Lavender Haze and providing backing vocals on Midnights. She also described attending Taylor’s sold-out Eras tour in London and spending relaxed evenings with the singer afterwards. Zoë added: “But what is weirder actually to me is that after she performs for however many thousands of people… she just comes over after, and like, we drink some wine, and like, eat a burger, and like, hang out.”

1414 Donhill Drive, Beverly Hills, California

In Los Angeles, where the landscape is as much a client as the human resident, architecture becomes an act of translation. This Beverly Hills hillside home, conceived by Whipple Russell Architects, answers a geologic challenge with sculptural serenity – a cascading Mediterranean retreat that follows the natural slope of its ridgeline parcel with grace, restraint, and reverence.

Perched on a steep incline without a single flat pad, the home emerges not as a monolith, but as a rhythmic series of terraced levels – each responding to topography, setback, and sun.

A three-story stack was prohibited by geology and code; instead, the home steps elegantly down the hill, revealing five distinct levels that blend into the terrain like architecture in dialogue with earth.

A bridge across a tranquil reflecting pond welcomes visitors to the entry, where glass, stone, and wood begin their quiet interplay. Just below, a 500-square-foot basement lounge sits recessed beneath a courtyard, hidden from the street and wrapped in stillness.

From the main floor – anchored by the kitchen, breakfast nook, and entertaining spaces – two staircases lead to the lower level: one winding downward in a sculptural S-curve past an Audrey Hepburn portrait to the lounge, bar, theater, indoor spa, and basketball court; the other also rising to a rooftop terrace, where the view stretches from downtown to the ocean with a tilt of the head.

Throughout the home, materials reflect a warm modernism rarely seen in contemporary hillside builds: rich woods, green velvet, natural stone, and white venetian plaster create a palette that is tactile and timeless. Finishes were intentionally softened – gridded guardrails, wood slats, and box-mullioned glass lend a sense of craft and structure. This is not minimalist modernism; it is an invitation to linger.

In the primary suite, a sense of intrigue persists. The entrance to the primary bath is seamlessly concealed behind wood paneling – hidden doors flush with the headboard wall swing open only to those who know they exist. It’s a moment of architectural theater, subtle and seductive.

Outdoor space was treated as essential architecture: the pool – flanked by sculptural fire features and accessed via mirror-image pool steps – is a stage for reflection and play. Water trickles from spherical fountains surrounded by square fire rings, and a waterfall at the edge of the infinity pool cascades down into ponds beside the lower-level lounge.

Each elevation offers its own retreat: a spa here, a gym there, mini golf below, all revealed in layers, never at once.

Maximized to its zoning envelope and carved directly into the slope, the home is a feat of constraint and vision – as responsive to code as it is to climate, as reverent to the land as it is luxurious in use. It is, in every way, a house that couldn’t belong anywhere else.

Ditch the Erewhon cold case and have lunch at one of these great Beverly Hills spots.

Beverly Hills is a lot of things, and one of those things is a lunch town. And regardless of what you might’ve heard, there are affordable dining options in this famously pricey neighborhood. More importantly, there are great dining options, too, from old Jewish delis to focaccia sandwich counters to a classic omakase spot if you want to splurge. So whether you’re a tourist, a fellow Angeleno who’s passing through, or someone who works in the area, here are the best lunch spots in the 90210.

Unrated: This is a restaurant we want to re-visit before rating, or it’s a coffee shop, bar, or dessert shop. We only rate spots where you can eat a full meal.

THE SPOTS

The despondent talent agents crying in their Teslas can confirm: Beverly Hills' lunch rush can be harrowing. Lorenzo California is a place to bypass the chaos. This Italian sandwich counter serves focaccias stacked with prosciutto parma, truffle cream, olive paté, and white onion agrodolce. It’s our favorite quick lunch in the neighborhood even if these giant sandwiches fall in the $19-$24 range. You could eat yours in the tiny sidewalk area out front, though we prefer walking a few blocks over to Beverly Gardens Park for an ad hoc picnic.

This half-a-century-old fromagerie is practically a historical landmark, one that's at least as cool as the Beverly Hills sign. And, sure, it’s two blocks away from Lorenzo, but you go to the Cheese Store for the full experience. You’re greeted by friendly cheesemongers who offer you nibbles of French butter as you peruse quince jams and pretend you're Ina Garten. Once you’re done taking in how cute this place is, order one of the shop’s nine deli sandwiches, which are some of the best in the city. These ciabatta subs are also a little pricey ($16-20), but the fillings are deluxe. We suggest the lemony La Zucca with fried zucchini and ricotta, or the Dom with jammy sundried tomatoes and aged prosciutto.

Everyone wants to know where the celebs eat, but what about their stressed-out publicists, agents, and attorneys? They all have standing reservations at The Grill on The Alley, a power-lunch classic serving well-seared ribeyes with steamed broccoli, chicken piccata in lemon-butter with warm table bread, and brownies a la mode. Could most dishes use a bit more seasoning? Sure, but the five-star service alone makes us wish we were regulars—the white-vested servers will charm you with stories about knowing Madonna before she was Madonna. Book ahead of time if you don't want someone’s assistant snagging your table.

Your highly opinionated New York boss is in town and keeps mumbling things like, “Aren’t you supposed to have good sushi in this town?,” as if you’re to blame that Nobu opens at 6pm. Well, Matsuhisa, a nondescript sushi bar along La Cienega, is where the whole Nobu empire began. The menu is huge, with everything from tempura to sushi to all those signature Nobu dishes. If you’re feeling splurgy (read: your boss is feeling splurgy), do the lunch omakase for a greatest hits parade of hot dishes and sushi that starts at $200 per person.

We used to hesitate when friends would suggest a Hillstone Group restaurant, because, well, there are multiple locations across 13 states, and all of them are kind of the same. But the truth is, no chain makes a more crowd-pleasing chicken sandwich or burger that tastes the exact same every time. And South Beverly Grill doesn't disappoint. It’s reliable for a long, two-hour lunch in a hot tub-sized booth where you can drink an ice-cold martini with your stressed coworkers and eat a saucy rack of ribs. The excellent french dip comes on a spongy roll baked in-house, and there's spinach artichoke dip on every table (rightfully so).

Attached to the behemoth (and always crowded) South Beverly Grill, The Honor Bar is a spot for us normies who can’t disappear into a three-martini lunch any day of the week. This sibling concept serves convenient to-go sandwiches for anyone in a pinch, but, like its busier neighbor, The Honor Bar is great for unwinding, too. The shortened bar menu still manages to have something for everybody, from sushi to kale salad to a juicy burger, so bring a friend, date, or just yourself to enjoy a cocktail and the clubhouse ambiance.

The only thing more classically Beverly Hills than lunch at La Scala is ordering La Scala’s chopped salad. This old-school Italian spot’s lettuce piles are more famous than the Bravo celebrities eating it. La Scala lets you customize your chopped, so the trick here is to treat the salad as a base for anything that catches your eye—pepperoncini, cucumbers, and tomatoes are a good place to start. And if diced salami isn’t hearty enough for you, the eggplant parmesan and the bolognese have never done us wrong.

A bowl of ramen at Kazan costs the same as two Erewhon smoothies (doing some quick LA math, that’s roughly $35), but this upscale Japanese noodle spot is a better use of your money. Kazan makes its ramen with a just-salty-enough chicken broth, giving each bowl a lighter quality that won’t send you into a post-lunch slumber. Our favorite is the #1, filled with chewy, house-made noodles, chashu pork, wontons, and clear broth made with a truffled soy sauce that’s so nourishing and umami-rich, we’d spoon-feed it to a Beverly Hills pooch that’s down bad with kennel cough. (That’s a real thing.)

Between the selfie stick-toting tourists and rental Lamborghinis revving their engines, Rodeo Drive isn’t the first place that comes to mind when we think of a peaceful lunch. But then there’s Nua inside the Crescent Hotel, where you can collect yourself in a lush, quiet patio, sip an espresso martini, and break into a chewy Jerusalem bagel with someone who also needs a moment to themselves. Nua’s lunchtime menu is smaller than its brunch and dinner but still features many of the same homey Mediterranean staples, like warm falafel, schnitzel sandwiches on fluffy challah, and a garlic-heavy shakshuka with three sunny yolks poking through the tomato sauce.

Matu is best known as the steakhouse on South Beverly where you can get five courses of premium meat for under $100—that’s basically free in Beverly Hills. A lesser-known fact is that this place is also open for lunch and serves an outrageously decadent cheesesteak for $24. Friends from Philly will say things like, “that isn’t a real cheesesteak,” and we love that for them. But it’s still delicious, packed with griddled wagyu ribeye and sirloin, gooey sharp cheese, grilled onions, and a long hot pepper plopped down the middle of the chewy seeded roll.

One thing Dr. Sandwich can do that Sweetgreen can’t is turn $20 into enough shawarma to last you three meals. It’s the best magic trick we’ve seen since a friend’s kid’s third birthday party, and why we’re at this kosher Mediterranean spot often. Dr. Sandwich has a second location in Beverly Grove, and while the newer one is more spacious, the parking situation at the original counter-service spot is better. Your pita sinks into their thick, creamy hummus like quicksand, the falafel sandwiches are stuffed with as much roasted eggplant as humanly possible, and the golden chicken shawarma is shaved fresh off the spit.

A few things you’ll need before lunch at Gucci Osteria: a corporate card, “smart casual dress attire,” and an emerald pinky ring to show off as you sip a Gucci-branded espresso. The gaudy Italian rooftop would be the ideal choice to woo an out-of-town client because it makes LA look like a movie. Lunch comes with palm tree-lined views Rodeo Drive, fantastic service, and nice food that appears more interesting than it tastes. You’ll eat panko-crusted cod “milanese” hiding a bold punch of ginger and an abstract art-like risotto “camouflaged as a pizza” and hopefully walk away with a deal after three glasses of prosecco.
