I have eaten here many times and the brunch menu and lunch dinner items are spectacular. Very few restaurants do all of these things well. They also have a full bar so you can get your old favorites or try one of their new creations. This restaurant actually has a real espresso machine and they make great coffee drinks as well. I love taking other people here because it has such a wide variety and everybody leaves happy. read more

Came here for a group dinner and it was very empty so I was a bit surprised by that. I ended up getting the katsu California roll burger because I saw all the reviews about it. Unfortunately I thought it was just ok. The other people in my group got the creole pasta, lamb chops and tuna salad. They all seemed to enjoy theirs and the pasta looked really good. If I come back, I definitely want to try the pasta. read more

26 Beach Restaurant - Katsu California Roll Hamburger - New American Near Me - Venice, California

A great LA restaurant a lot of people have never heard of. I have had wonderful meals there from an excellent, juicy flavorful burger to exquisite lamb chops to phenomenal breakfasts. Way better than a 4.1 rating (some people just don't have taste). The service is great and the staff is always friendly, warm and inviting. Very cool interior and outside space. Killer breakfasts, but everything is always prepared well. Try it you will love it! read more

Love love. Such a cute decorated place and great staff! Came for a birthday celebration and the staff took care of us from start to finish. We tried so much food and everyone was more than satisfied. Definitely suggest their garlic cheese bread, house salad, steak and frites dishes. read more

A must visit brunch place not too far from the beach. Beautiful indoor and outdoor space to eat and hang. The restaurant gets busy and the service is superb. Big menu with plenty of options. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the options. read more

Love this place so much! The decor and aesthetics are beautiful, vibrant and fun! They have an indoor and outdoor dining area. They have a parking lot, but it's small. I usually park in the neighboring streets (check the parking signs!). I also love how conveniently located it is to the beach! Just a short drive away. The staff is very attentive and friendly. It can get busy especially on the weekends, but it doesn't take away from the overall experience. Their menu is yummy including the drinks. Lots of options! Highly recommend. read more

Came to 26 Beach restaurant for a friend Galentine's event we were seated in a private area for a group of 10. The ambience nice for a girls brunch. The musical was pretty calming. The waiter was attentive. Our food was fresh and good. I ordered the black sheep burger with fries an easy Meal choice to go for. Friends also had a different burger and salad and another had a sandwich but overall the food options are diverse and gives you a variety to choose from also in my party they had alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. Highly recommend this restaurant. I went on a Sunday when there was free street parking. read more

10/1/25 I came here with my coworkers for dinner and it was such a great experience. I ordered the lamb chops with mashed potatoes and green beans along with a lychee martini. Everything was absolutely fantastic. We shared cheesy toasted bread and Brussels sprouts as appetizers and they were just as delicious. The service was quick and friendly and the ambience was beautiful. The decor felt like something out of a movie, very enchanting and thoughtfully done. I would definitely come back in the future. Highly recommend this spot if you're looking for a unique and memorable dining experience. read more

26 Beach Restaurant - Decor inside - New American Near Me - Venice, California

26 Beach is a really fun and an eclectic place to have a nice meal, you could almost call it Bohemian, but the food quality is very good so that alone makes it worth a visit. I have been for dinner a few times, but stopped in for my first time for brunch this past weekend and had a great meal. We were a party of two arriving around 10 AM on Saturday. We did not have to wait at all to be seated and service the entire meal was very fast. There is a free parking lot directly behind the restaurant, the entrance is a very narrow alley directly to the right of the front door of the restaurant. Just go down that and behind the restaurant you will see at least 6-8 spaces. We started off our meal with a couple of iced lattes and thought they were very good. We ordered with French vanilla and it was honestly really nice. For my breakfast I chose the Baja Benedict and really enjoyed it. It was a large sized portion, so I was certainly not hungry at all after finishing it. Others at our table or the French Toast and they were hit as well. I would definitely recommend this place and being that I live very close by I will be back again in the near future. read more

Stopped by for a Saturday brunch. Street parking was not difficult although it's off of Washington which is a fairly busy street. They were quick to seat us, we had no wait. The service was warm and friendly. I got a coffee (meh) and the salmon royale (scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, cream cheese, asparagus, olives over a bed of brown rice). My fiance got a chai latte and the crab royale. I was pretty satisfied with my meal, pretty filling with good amounts of salmon. I think the flavors worked well if you are into olives and smoked salmon. Coffee could have been better- seems like the cocktails are popular looking around. The vibe inside is bright, colorful, definitely feels very "LA"! read more

Had a reservation for 4 on Mother's Day. Waited nearly 1 hour to be seated and another 20 for anyone to come to our table. It was almost 2 hours from the time we first arrived to when food finally got to the table. From what we could tell , it was the same experience for every other table in the place. I could have had the same meal at 100 other places. Never going back. read more

Just had the worst Mother's Day brunch ever. We had to wait for 20 minutes even though we had reservations. Then they served my teenager's meal 20 minutes before they served my meal or the sides we ordered. When they served my meal (I ordered the very berry french toast), they told me they were out of berries. They plopped down french toast with a handful of old blueberries. Never bothered to tell me when I ordered that they were out of berries and didn't give me a discount even though my dish was missing the main part. The only thing decent about the meal was the company (my child) and the bacon. They also charge an outrageous fee for using a credit card. 26 Beach used to be my favorite brunch spot. Not anymore. read more

Amazing food, warm staff and great location! The ambiance is so nice, lovely flowery patio!

March 22, 2025 | Venice: What a fun restaurant with delicious food, including huge portions, & all-around eclectic vibes! It's an exciting visit each and every time! Smoked Salmon Royal : Absolutely delicious, full of flavor! Salmon slices are plentiful throughout as well! It's easily one of my favorite scrambles/omelettes!! Yum! French Toast: Guava-stuffed & topped with bananas! Delicious! The bread is both thick and fluffy! Each French toast dish I've tried here has been delicious, some sweeter than others, my favorite being the decadent savory ones! Yum!! Decor: Fun, eclectic & upbeat! In the midst of a pink rose-adorned mirror, a soothing fountain filled with pink roses, fun painted graphics on the wall, including framed photos, you can't help but smile! The energy is definitely fun here! Crowd | Vibe: Mixed! While introducing a friend to this restaurant, we were surrounded by a huge excitable party at a long table w/cheetah print seats & gifts in hand, couples, as well as girls & guys who brunch! I've introduced several friends to this place! I highly recommend this reservations! Grateful: When we first arrived, only seating inside was available, which is just as stylish and gorgeous! While looking at the menu, I inquired about the patio and our super sweet server returned to the table minutes later and let us know that a table was now available! I was incredibly grateful and excited, as outside is a whole vibe! Overall: Yes, please! What a delicious way to brunch! I'm excited by the delicious food, upbeat surroundings, and friendly customer service from start to finish! I'm always excited to die in here, thanks again!! read more

Hadn't been here in a minute. With the outdoor covered area and chance to imbibe in some bottomless mimosas, we thought brunch sounded like it would be chill here on a Sunday. It was. A bit too much. Service was slow. The vibe was so stale. And when our lemon ricotta french toast came out with a cook's hair... we were glad that at least we had gotten to divulge in some delish drinks and the Diablo Royal that came overs bed of brown rice. Yum! The waiter brought us another replacement plate so they can charge us but yah... it wasn't overall what we remembered it to be back in the day. Outdated furniture, Christmas tee and decorations still hanging around trying to get our attention that the new year hadn't begun yet. Our waiter was lovely, attentive and professional about the whole hair situation. She was clearly overworked though. All the stars go to her and her amazing attitude despite it all!! Parking is horrid so not a huge incentive either on the giant blvd down the street from the beach. Oh well..... we made the most of it but we likely won't be back. read more

The vibe is cozy and quirky, and the food is consistently amazing. I had the apple cinnamon Frw's h toast which was made with a croissant -super creative and packed with flavor but not for me. The scrambles are good and the drinks are good. Service is always friendly, and the portions are generous. Definitely a go-to spot for brunch and a cute vibe. Highly recommend! I've been here a few times and street parking is always annoying and realized they have a little back lot to park in for next time. read more

TL:dr get in there and be ready for the BEST food. My friends and I always talk about how 26 Beach checks all the boxes. food, the best quality and taste. service, exceptional. ambience perfect, you can sit indoors or on their patio. My wife and Her good friend have been eating at 26 Beach since they opened around 43 years ago. My wife started taking me when we met 30 years ago. We have always enjoyed the most excellent tasting, wonderfully presented food!! We used to live close and regularly visited, and try to do so every time we can since we moved farther away. Francis has always had a wonderful staff, who are friendly, attentive and the most efficient of any restaurant I visit. I have had just about everything on the menu and last night Frank and I got in just before they closed and enjoyed the Date Burger and the Fig Burger. Look it up on the menu!! Truly earning the description of a gourmet burger. (Side note: Francis also has a place called Black Sheep Burgers that you should try also. It is a popular spot known for creative, gourmet burgers blending American comfort food with unique twists, including sushi-inspired options like the California Roll Burger. Their diverse menu with high-quality ingredients, caters to various dietary needs with vegan and gluten-free choices, and provide a casual, welcoming atmosphere with indoor/outdoor seating.) Now back to last nights excellent dinner. They split the burgers for us in the kitchen and Frank and I had 1/2 of each burger. The sweet potato fries and onion rings sealed the deal. I enjoy dipping sweet potato fries in ranch dressing or barbecue sauce. They offer both so I change it up every couple bites. Now, let me tell you about the chocolate cake. This chocolate cake is always in my dreams; both daydreams and while sleeping. My wife and I chose this cake to be our wedding cake 23 years ago! It is that delicious and decadent!! I was so full after the burger and fries and onion rings that I knew I was taking it home. It never disappoints. EVER!! It is so wonderful to confidently know what you want to eat before you even get there! My wife pretty much always has the ginger salmon salad. We always buy the dressing to take home, you should try it!! Thank you, Francis for all of these wonderful years of epicurean delight! -- I should've taken a picture of the burger last night, but here is a picture of my ginger salmon salad. I enjoyed last week. read more

26 Beach Restaurant - 26 Beach Ginger Salmon Salad! Perfect lunch. - New American Near Me - Venice, California

My husband and I met our friends there for Sunday brunch and the service was impeccable. I have been here before and had the same experience each of our meals were grilled to perfection and we will be back for this type of food and service since they are extremely memorable! Great job 26 Beach. Sincerely, Satisfied Customers!!! read more

It breaks my heart to only give 26 Beach Cafe less than 5 stars because I have such great memories of it... but, sadly, those memories do not reflect the restaurant as it is now. They got rid of my favorite dish - the sunrise fruit salad. The rest of the food we've had is still delicious, just smaller and smaller portions every time we come. The thing that is consistently bad is the service. The last 3 times we've come we've had an issue - bring mischarged, waiting forever for our food, and the last time - which is why we won't ever come back again - our waitress never even put in our order and then disappeared. After waiting for close to an hour, we found someone else to help us. And then they weren't even going to comp anything. In contrast to a different restaurant where we got late, cold food and they were very apologetic and comped our whole meal (which was unexpected). read more

My first time here. The place is very nice and the decor is like from the 60s or earlier. The food is really good and the portions are big enough for the price. Employees are friendly and some of them speak Spanish. Close by the Venice shops and probably to the Venice Beach if you don't mind walking a bit. I definitely recommend going there if you're around the area. read more

For my birthday brunch today, we stopped by for the first time at 26 Beach restaurant. It was a perfect spot to have a girly brunch with friends and we were pleasantly surprised with the quirky and fun aesthetic of both the patio and the interior of the restaurant. The menu is pretty vast and a lot of the items are driven to more of a comfort food vibe. But the wide selection there's something for everybody in our group lean more into the brunch items this time around... Call outs were the chicken wings, the French toast, and the salmon salad You look forward to coming back to trying more of the lunch and dinner entree since everything that we saw pass us by and deliver to other tables also look delicious.. which is a good sign and gives us something to look forward to. The only small feedback that I would give is perhaps given the amount of people that were in today, service was a little slow and we had to ask for some things repeatedly. But other than that, the food, the ambience, and the drinks definitely land to a local spot that we look forward to having more friends try. read more

26 Beach has that cozy, eclectic charm that feels like a true Venice classic. I ordered the 26 Salad, fish & chips, and the teriyaki fish--all came out fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. The 26 Salad was packed with texture and flavor--crunchy greens, avocado, and grilled chicken, with a light but tasty dressing. The fish and chips had a golden crisp batter without feeling heavy, and the fries were actually really good. The teriyaki fish was a nice surprise--lightly sweet, tender, and served with rice and veggies that rounded out the dish. Service was attentive but laid-back, and the space has a fun, quirky design that makes you want to linger a little longer. Pro tip: They're known for their burgers and brunch too, so I'm definitely coming back to try more. If you're sitting on the patio, bring a light jacket--it gets breezy read more

Excellent hostess greeted us with a warm smile and sat us immediately. The waitstaff brought water to the table quickly and, the waitress followed right after to serve us. The menu has several wonderful meal choices! Our party of five ordered the Kit Kobe burger w/ (perfectly seasoned) fries, caramelized pear salad, linguini with clams, a Greek salad modified with grilled chicken, and the deluxe flatbread (that had the most flavorful chicken sausage. Everything was delicious! I especially enjoyed the Greek salad with its tangy and lemony salad dressing. The flatbread was more like a pizza as the dough was not "flat," though it was well seasoned and delicious, too! We ordered the lavender lemonade, the strawberry lemonade, and the hibiscus tea. We WILL be back!! read more

The decor is adorable in this restaurant. There is free parking in the back but space is limited and the alley entrance is the narrowest I've seen. No SUVs allowed or scratch your car at your own risk. There was no wait at 5pm for dinner but it does get crowded here. The service is very welcoming. The staff do their best but it does get really busy here. All the food came out hot and a little wait but not very long. Our party all liked their food. My elderly father in law wears hearing aids and complained about the music coming from the speakers on the outdoor patio. I would say this restaurant is pretty loud so if you're looking for quiet dining this is not the place for you. It's very fun and festive. Great for a party or a good cheery meetup. read more

French toast is great, my husband loves the lamb chops, great ambience and service, I had only breakfast here, I love it!!

The food at 26 Beach is always top notch and this Sunday brunch didn't disappoint. It was a rainy few days so the dining patio had been compromised and there was less seating as a result but that wasn't obvious when we arrived and the hostess wasn't forthcoming about why we weren't being seated. I wish she had been more customer friendly and explained things to us. It was a bit off putting. Otherwise our visit was very pleasant. read more

My aunties birthday brought me here for a breakfast/lunch meal. The restaurant is cute and decorated with a nice flair. I couldn't decide between breakfast or lunch, i decided on the ahi tuna salad which I did not regret one bit however my wife ordered the stuffed French toast. When I took a bite of that French toast I was shocked at how much I loved it. The service was great and the price was reasonable to boot. I really enjoyed the restaurant and when back in the area I will be sure to drop by. read more

We ordered the cauliflower wings in curry sauce and the Brussels sprouts in balsamic glaze for appetizers.

26 Beach covers all the bases! Their burgers are awesome and taste fantastic. I bring clients and coworkers here regularly. We got the Cattleman burger my client loved it. I got the Gobbler (Turkey burger). Their sweet potato fries are always perfectly cooked. The breakfast options are also top-notch, especially the French toast and chilaquiles. The Creole shrimp pasta is a big hit with my staff. The seating is great, with both indoor and covered outdoor areas that are beautifully decorated and give a quaint, cozy vibe. The food is consistently excellent. I even brought my nephew and his friends from Minnesota, and they raved about the sushi burgers. It's not just a five-star place; it's a consistent five-star experience. Andy the GM is a always accomodating and kind. read more

I was super excited to try this restaurant. We drove all the way from Long Beach It's very cute a little dusty though, but I love the decoration . I ordered the steak and eggs. The plate looked delicious but then I turned it around because I always like to have the eggs on the right side and as I was turning it, I saw a hair!!! must've been an arm hair nonetheless I found it very disgusting so I waved one of the waitresses down discreetly and they immediately took my plate apologize and took it back. My boyfriend received his food. He finished his food and I'm still waiting for my plate. They did bring me a new steak, but our breakfast is kind of ruined. My boyfriend had finished eating and I was just getting started, but my stomach was already bothered by the hair! The good part was that they have a lavender lemonade, which I found very delicious and unique. My boyfriend had the regular lemonade. It was OK he said recommendations. They should always look at the food before they take it out and be more careful with hygiene I recommend dusting the flowers. They look really dusty in sunburned the umbrella that is supposedly white has a bunch of water marks that just also really looks disgusting like it's been pulled out of an alley. All the pictures on their menu looked delicious. I guess I just had bad luck. I give them two stars out of five. We paid $87 bucks for breakfast with a hair. Sorry my honest feed back. We should have just walked out. read more

I'm not a French toast girly but this wasn't so good! I love lemon so it was a nice tart with the sweet raspberry sauce.

It was more on the savory side. Service was attentive, I don't remember our servers name but she was sweet :) read more
