The Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce presents a guide of the best restaurants, cafes, delivery, catering and coffee shops in Los Angeles. You'll find it all: the finest examples of cutting edge California cuisine, authentic flavors from around the world and casual family dining. We list restaurants located throughout Santa Monica and the Los Angeles Westside, with options convenient to attractions like the 3rd Street Promenade, the Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach, Montana Avenue, Pacific Palisades and Downtown Santa Monica.
"The chamber staff has been most helpful in getting my business built by being a wonderful liaison on city and building matters. Since joining the chamber, I have met many influential people in the city and our sense of community has increased greatly. It has been a wonderful way to transition into a new marketplace. One example is the Taste of Santa Monica. It was an amazing event, professionally produced, and attended by over 2,000 guests. We saw many event guests in our restaurant as first timers shortly afterwards. The chamber is one of the most forward thinking and proactive chambers I have encountered. I wholeheartedly recommend joining the chamber.”—Jonathan Chu

coveted Michelin star. Bar Pintxo is a departure from that popular spot
and serves a large selection of fresh, authentic, high-quality tapas,

matches perfectly with the food, and the atmosphere is lively and
festive, with a relaxed, warm feel. Stop in for a snack or a whole
