LACMA does not currently offer full-service dining. Visitors can enjoy daily featured food trucks on the Smidt Welcome Plaza. 

Limited seating, some with shade, is available on the Smidt Welcome Plaza on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors are welcome to bring food and beverages to enjoy on the plaza or on adjacent lawns in the park. Please note that food and beverages are not permitted in the galleries.

We also encourage museum visitors to explore the many nearby restaurants on the Miracle Mile—from quick and casual takeout to full-service sit-down experiences, the neighborhood offers a world of flavors. See the LACMA Neighborhood Guide for a list of restaurants and links to more information.
