Most restaurants in Venice Beach are small, independently owned and very trendy. Any kind of food imaginable can be found in Venice Beach. For a romantic dinner, try 26 Beach Restaurant, which has an outdoor patio and a charming waterfall fountain, or James Beach, which turns into a bar in the later evenings. On the Waterfront Cafe is a Venice Beach mainstay, with outdoor seating, affordable classic fare and a gorgeous view of the Pacific Ocean.
