Los Angeles: Top 5 Restaurants Actually Worth the Second Mortgage

In case of impending Armageddon, empty accounts here.

1. Totoraku - A deep foodie secret, a vinophile chef, something to remember.
2. Fraiche - Culver City has a great food scene, but this, this is the best.
3. Ortolan - The experimental food, the fireplaces, the sommelier ... la France en vie lounge.

4. Urasawa - Two-fifty per person prix fixe, not including beverage. Expect to spend $400 after tip. Start a fund!
5. Cut - Imported Kobe steak will set you back $120, but it’s splittable and unmissable, really.
