Outdoor Seating

1. MÉLISSE

No.8 of Fine Dining in Los Angeles

HK$2352Western-stylePrime location

翱翔的大鲨鱼This restaurant has very few seats, only five tables in total, no wonder it is difficult to reserve a seat. There are two sessions in one evening, with a total of 18 exquisite dishes including desserts, almost every dish is above 90 points, but it is really hard to eat more, too much food, it's great.

2. The Lobster

HK$562SeafoodSea viewViewTime-honored BrandTerrace

翱翔的大鲨鱼The octopus and mussels in the appetizers were cooked to perfection. The oysters were fresh, and the horseradish in the cocktail sauce was fresh except for the mignonette. The usual tobacco was replaced with a homemade hot sauce in the kitchen. The scallops in the main course were cooked to perfection, especially the risotto. The seafood squid ink noodles were homemade in the kitchen. The fresh squid ink noodles had a perfect taste, except for the clams, mussels, shrimps, and squid. The crab meat on top was shelled from live crabs after being boiled. The sauce was made according to traditional techniques, and a little bit of the cooking water was added at the end to blend the flavors of all the ingredients together.

3. Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. (SANTA MONICA PIER)

HK$390SeafoodSea viewView

mayrLocated in the bustling coordinate scenic area, it is full of American atmosphere and vitality. It is noisy, crowded, relaxed and cheerful. The waiters are enthusiastic and humorous and serve the dishes quickly. The seafood and vegetables are very fresh and the dishes are beautifully presented. You can overlook the beach and the sea from the window.

4. Santa Monica Seafood Market & Café

泰迪小熊Came here on September 30, 2017. If you come to Santa Monica, don't miss the seafood here! Especially this store, which is named after the city, feels a bit like an "official flagship store" and is the first choice for seafood. There are many varieties of seafood here, which are placed in the open counter. They are all fresh goods directly delivered from the dock, and they are all quite large, which makes you particularly appetizing at first glance. More importantly, the price here is relatively cheap, so the value for money is quite high. There are two kinds of menus here: one is a standard text menu, which is divided into categories on both sides according to oysters, chilled food, appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, sandwiches, side dishes, children's meals, soft drinks, drinks..., and introduces the specific methods of each dish in detail. There is also a simple picture and text menu, which introduces soups, main dishes, staple foods, etc. in the form of "pictures + dish names", which is clear at a glance and more suitable for first-time guests like us. I highly recommend everyone to try Cioppino, a seafood stew created by Italian fishermen. Because it is tomato-flavored (very Italian), the sweet and fresh taste of seafood protein is fully stimulated. I suggest everyone to add an Atlantic Lobster Tail, which costs an extra $9 and you can eat very happily! The restaurant is not very big, so it may be full during peak dining hours. Although the road in front of the store is relatively small, you can park on the roadside, which is convenient.

5. Huckleberry Bakery & Cafe

travelerererMy friends know that I like desserts very much, because I think desserts can really make me feel good. So I came to this Huckleberry dessert shop to check in.

6. Umami Burger

gzh***05If you want a truffle feast, you can also add a truffle beet salad and super thin and crispy truffle fries, and you will get a feast that is completely immersed in the aroma of truffles.

7. Rustic Canyon

HK$390Western-style

fantanblueIn the United States, you can eventually reach Santa Monica, California, by following Route 66 from east to west. The food culture here is mainly based on Western cuisine, including seafood as well as American-style French fries, fried chicken and beer.
