Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant Honored with 2025 Michelin Guide Recognition
Los Angeles, CA —October 29, 2025— Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant is proud to announce that it has once again been recognized by the prestigious Michelin Guide to California, earning its 2025 Michelin Guide plaque, an enduring symbol of culinary excellence, heritage, and consistency.
First added to the Michelin Guide in 2019, Langer’s remains one of Los Angeles’ most iconic and beloved dining institutions — a timeless destination where tradition and quality meet. The arrival of the 2025 Michelin plaque reaffirms that legacy, honoring not just the food but the generations of care, service, and craftsmanship that have defined Langer’s for more than seven decades.
“Being mentioned by the Michelin Guide is one of the highest forms of praise you can earn in the restaurant industry,” said Norm Langer, owner of Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant. “We’re incredibly proud to be included once again and deeply grateful to our loyal customers and our dedicated employees, some of whom have been with us for decades, for helping make this honor possible. This recognition belongs to them as much as it does to our family.”
Founded in 1947 by Al and Jean Langer, the restaurant has long been a cultural touchstone for Los Angeles — a gathering place for generations of Angelenos, travelers, and celebrities drawn by one promise: the finest pastrami sandwich in America.
The late Nora Ephron, writing in The New Yorker, described Langer’s pastrami as “the finest hot pastrami sandwich in the world… soft but crispy, tender but chewy, peppery but sour, smoky but tangy… a symphony orchestra, different instruments brought together to play one perfect chord. It is, in short, a work of art.”
Each Langer’s sandwich tells a story of craftsmanship, heritage, and community — from the hand-cut pastrami, smoked and steamed to perfection, to the freshly baked rye bread with just the right amount of crust. It’s a balance of flavor and texture that has made Langer’s legendary.
This is food with soul. Tradition on a plate. Los Angeles — one pastrami sandwich at a time.
Located just steps from Metro’s Red-Purple Line at the Westlake/MacArthur Park station — or easily accessible via the secure, monitored parking lot at 7th and Westlake — Langer’s Delicatessen-Restaurant invites guests to experience a true piece of Los Angeles history.
Join us. Taste the legacy. Be part of the story. At Langer’s, every sandwich is a memory waiting to be made.
