One of L.A.’s most beloved modern comfort food restaurants is making a comeback with a major new address. Birdie G’s, the acclaimed concept from chef Jeremy Fox, is set to reopen in summer 2026 inside the landmark Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City. RECOMMENDED: One of L.A.’s best restaur ants is closing at the end of the year The announcement marks a welcome return for the restaurant, which closed its original Santa Monica location at Bergamot Station at the end of 2025 after a six-year run that earned it a devoted following and frequent placement on the Los Angeles Times’ 101 Best Restaurants list. Now, it’s stepping into a much bigger spotlight, taking over the hotel’s current dining space and expanding into a full-scale, all-day brasserie. “Birdie G’s has always been about capturing the feeling of a classic American restaurant through the lens of memory and craft,” said Chef Jeremy Fox in a statement. “At Fairmont Century Plaza, we’re expanding that vision into a true all‑day experience—from early‑morning coffee to celebratory dinners—while staying rooted in the comfort and creativity that define the restaurant.” If the original Birdie G’s felt like a deeply personal project (Fox named it for his daughter and grandmother), this new iteration aims to scale that sentiment without losing its soul. Breakfast will lean into deli-inspired classics, house-made pastries and coffee service geared toward both hotel guests and early business meetings. Lunch splits the difference between quick and polished, nodding to Century City’s legacy of dealmaking over midday meals. By dinner, the menu settles into something more expansive: steaks, chops, fish and handmade pastas, alongside the vegetable-forward dishes that have become Fox’s calling card. Regulars will find plenty to celebrate. Signature hits like the matzo ball soup, the Pickle Chick cutlet and the rose petal pie are all slated to reappear, joined by koji-aged steaks and new dishes developed specifically for the hotel setting. As before, the kitchen will prioritize seasonal sourcing from local farmers and a low-waste approach to cooking. The beverage program follows suit, balancing classics with more seasonal, ingredient-driven creations. A wine list focused on sustainable producers and low-intervention practices rounds things out, alongside craft beer and nonalcoholic options. Design-wise, the space is being reimagined in collaboration with EDG Design, drawing inspiration from mid-century business culture and classic American supper clubs, and tuned to match Century Plaza’s long-standing role as a hub for both Hollywood glamour and corporate power dining. With the hotel’s 60th anniversary approaching, the arrival of Birdie G’s positions it to welcome a new era. And for a restaurant that was widely mourned when it closed, the reopening is a glow-up, with a dining room ready for everything from early coffee meetings to late-night celebrations. ...read more read less
