Best Restaurants in Santa Monica
128 restaurants analyzed · Los Angeles
Santa Monica has one of Los Angeles's most consistently strong dining scenes, with an unusually wide range of cuisines running from casual California-inflected spots to serious special occasion restaurants. Third Street Promenade and Montana Avenue are the best-known corridors, but Ocean Avenue and the blocks inland offer some of the area's most interesting American and Mediterranean restaurants. Prices lean toward the higher end across much of Santa Monica, though the quality generally justifies the investment.
