Let's be honest: there's something exhilarating about seeing a famous person in public. Whether you prefer to approach and ask for a picture or simply observe from afar, it's always exciting to see your favorite stars offscreen. And a surefire way to stumble upon someone famous is by visiting restaurants that are popular among celebrities.
There are Hollywood hotspots that have been serving famous customers for decades. Other restaurants are newer to the scene, but can credit much of their popularity to rave celebrity reviews. While some are limited to members only or have months long waitlists, there are plenty of restaurants we can try and potentially see some stars in real life.
We've rounded up 10 of the most beloved restaurants among the rich and famous, thanks to paparazzi pics and sightings submitted to Deux Moi. So whenever you want to rub shoulders with celebs, you'll know exactly where to go.
You’re probably already familiar with Carbone and their viral spicy rigatoni. And the restaurant chain with locations in New York, Miami, and Las Vegas can credit some of its hype to the celebrity clientele. Deux Moi has received reports of stars like Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Drake at Carbone locations across the country.
Celebrities like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, and Kylie Jenner are constantly captured walking in an unassuming California strip mall. Their destination is one of the hottest sushi spots in the state. This omakase style spot costs, on average, $200 per person and has a long list of famous regulars.
Getting a reservation is hard in New York, but it’s especially hard if you want to eat at Via Carota. This Italian spot in Manhattan’s West Village is run by renowned chefs Rita Sodi and Jody Williams. And stars like Paul Mescal, Shawn Mendes, and John Legend have been known to dine there.
Also in New York’s West Village, 4 Charles Prime Rib is a cozy spot for all things steak. There’s a lot of hype around this restaurant, which has attracted celebrities such as Lindsay Lohan, Jon Bon Jovi, Austin Butler, and Charles Melton.
Polo Bar in Midtown Manhattan is designer Ralph Lauren’s restaurant and is famously hard to get into. The sophisticated dining room serves classic American favorites (including their famous Polo Bar Burger). Some celebrities that have been spotted there include Meryl Streep, Kathy Hilton, Gwyneth Paltrow, and, of course, Ralph Lauren himself.
Restauranteur and Instagram provocateur Keith McNally owns several restaurants, but Balthazar has the most cultural cachet by a mile. McNally regularly shares which celebrities stop by for some French food—including when he famously revealed that he banned James Corden from the restaurant.
Nobu is famous for popularizing a lot of viral recipes, like miso black cod, spicy tuna crispy rice, yellowtail jalapeño, and more. But a reservation at their Malibu location may also include some famous guests. Stars like Travis Scott, Justin Bieber, Angelina Jolie, and Ed Sheeran have all been reported to dine there.
Craig's has been a West Hollywood institution for over a decade, and not just because of the food. It's arguably one of the best places to go if you want a guaranteed celebrity sighting. Stars like Jacob Elordi, Jennifer Garner, and Martha Stewart have been spotted dining there.
Mother Wolf in Hollywood has a large, ballroom-esque dining room that's reliably filled with famous guests. Deux Moi reports appearances from Adele, Jennifer Lopez, Paul McCartney, and Tracee Elliss Ross—among many, many others.
Little Dom's serves cozy, comforting Italian American food, which explains why locals and celebrities frequent the Los Feliz restaurant. Tilda Swinton, Penn Badgley, Joe Jonas, Kristen Stewart, and Cameron Diaz have all been spotted there. Deux Moi even reports that Doja Cat ordered an espresso martini with dinner.
