California Restaurants

Santa Monica Restaurants

Santa Monica restaurants have received considerable (and growing) recognition. Zagat Survey named the city of Santa Monica the best neighborhood for dining in all of Southern California in 2007 and again in 2008. And other notable food publications make consistent mention of our roster of famous chefs and restaurants: from Josiah Citrin’s Mélisse to Wolfgang Puck’s Chinois on Main.

While there’s no single definition for the diverse Southern California dining experiences available in Santa Monica, one distinction stands out: Santa Monica is the reputed birthplace of “California” and “fusion” cuisine – marked by an artistic blending of culinary styles and the freshest of organic ingredients. Expect remarkable presentation and global flavors in any of the options in our comprehensive, searchable database below.

While California restaurants range from the casual to the elegant, bear one rule in mind – and it doesn’t apply merely to dining: “jackets are not required,” no matter how sophisticated the scene.
