Best Restaurants in Pasadena

84 restaurants analyzed · Los Angeles

Pasadena has a deeper restaurant scene than many visitors expect, with over 420 places spanning sushi, Mexican, diners, and modern American cooking. Old Town Pasadena along Colorado Boulevard is the main dining strip, while Lake Avenue offers a quieter mix. Prices cover the full range, and the food here is more varied than the Rose Parade image suggests.
