Rated one of the best restaurants in L.A. I like popping in for late afternoon casual dining. Either book ahead or arrive early for happy hour. Takeaway recently added, which offers great sandwiches.

A Venice institution, an Italian restaurant with wonderful fresh baked garlic rolls. Very popular with local families, so you may have to wait for a table at peak times. I liked to walk down the beach

This is my top choice for breakfast on the beach. It’s worth the longer walk, which is very pleasant anyway. I would arrive before 8:30 a.m. for the ‘happy hour’ prices and always sit outside, though
