The story
The Terrace is the signature restaurant of The Maybourne Beverly Hills, a Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star hotel occupying one of the most coveted addresses in the Golden Triangle — just one block from Rodeo Drive. Where the hotel's ground floor opens toward the lawns of Beverly Cañon Gardens, The Terrace takes shape as something genuinely rare in Los Angeles: an alfresco dining room with the easy, unhurried atmosphere of a European piazza, set against a backdrop of palms and manicured green.
The broader Maybourne ethos — European charm meeting California sensibility — finds its most direct expression here. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served in a fine-dining atmosphere that manages to feel both polished and welcoming, drawing on a California bounty of the freshest ingredients alongside curated wines that earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2022. That recognition speaks directly to the depth and care behind the wine program, which complements a menu rooted in European and Mediterranean cooking.
The outdoor setting is the defining feature. Overlooking the sunlit lawns of Beverly Cañon Gardens, the space captures natural light and a sense of openness that indoor dining simply cannot replicate. It's the kind of table where a long lunch extends naturally into the afternoon, and where the line between the California outdoors and a more classical European dining tradition quietly dissolves.
The Maybourne Beverly Hills itself has collected serious recognition — two MICHELIN Keys, AAA Five Diamond, and back-to-back Forbes Five-Star distinctions — and The Terrace sits at the center of that reputation as the hotel's primary dining destination. The wine list, honored by Wine Spectator, reinforces that this is a restaurant taken seriously on its own terms, not merely a hotel amenity.
The Terrace is one of several dining options within the property, but it stands apart as the place for a considered meal — Mediterranean-inflected European cuisine served with the warmth and attentiveness the Maybourne name carries across its portfolio, from Claridge's in London to The Connaught. For guests and locals alike, it represents a convincing case that Beverly Hills can do the kind of relaxed, ingredient-led, sunlit dining that the best European tables have long made their own.
