26 Beach Restaurant

LOVE their brunch. Got the breakfast sammy on challah, cheese instead of bacon. Big portions, worth the money!

This was an extraordinary meal. They actually called us back! We had called for a reservation they didn’t have one, when one opened up they called us. Wow customer service!! I
The enchiladas were creamy and had layers of flavor, light for a Mexican plate. You may not expect Enchiladas in a place like this to be good. They were better than good they were Great! Fish was fresh not canned which is common for this dish.
Salad also had many Flavors & textures and it was fresh! The ribs were sweating spicy hot, full of flavor, and fall off the bone tender.
The expert on burgers in our group said it was the best ever, she couldn’t tell me why just kept slurping & raving!
The staff was helpful and not shy about sharing her favorites!
The meatballs we got as an appetizer may have been the best I have ever eaten. They are large, so we orders several, we couldn’t stop ourselves from over stuffing ourselves with these beauties. Savory and sweet, perfectly seasoned, reminded me of an old Italian favorite grandmas !!
All in all a great birthday dinner

Been here a few times and had the following but brunch is the best:
Brunch: lemon ricotta French toast. Not too sweet on brioche toast. Just how I like it .
Lunch: skirt steak over beans, salsa, rice. Perfectly cooked med, the combination & flavor is just delicious.
They have a huge menu, like pages & pages so it might be overwhelming but overall most food seems to be great. I’m sure they’ll have whatever you’re in the mood for. Portions are large.
Great cocktails selections, especially for brunch champagne drinks & cocktails. Mmmm
Street parking .
Service is good. They get busy but for the most part attentive.
Make reservations for brunch on the weekends. It gets full & you’ll be waiting for a long time.
There are a couple of outside tables too but they don’t serve alcohol outside. The interior of the restaurant is really cute. 2 separate sections, 1 side like a outside garden setting & the other modern indoor setting.
Gotta go back for the sushi burger…

My girl and I arrived right when they opened on a Sunday morning so luckily we didn’t experience a crowd or a wait to be seated. This place is small compared to similar restaurants but has a great vibe. French toast is amazing and you can’t go wrong with any of the French toast variations. I recommend the chocolate French toast.

I came here to watch the Warriors game!
I got a flat bread and beer. It was really good! Also the best sport bar if you are looking to watch the game.
I like their service too!

This is a really great brunch and breakfast spot. I’ve only been able to come here once, unfortunately, and so have sampled a relatively small portion of the extensive menu. The atmosphere and staff are friendly and relaxing, and the prices are well worth the quality and quantity.
I tried the Chorizo Royal, a that dish wonderfully blends eggs, guacamole, cilantro, onions, and salsa.
With out a doubt, this is the best place I’ve had brunch!

Amazing food and plenty of options for everyone. Restraunt is very popular and kind of small inside but it is definitely worth the wait. Brunch here is the busiest time but for the array of options it is amazing. I got the number #19 french toast and it is a popular dish and a favorite. I will be back to try all the diffrent combos.

There’s a tiny parking lot behind the restaurant if you are lucky (probably parks 8 cars). Otherwise, it’s street parking in front and around behund in the residential area.
So much to love about this restaurant. The cute, flowery decorations, the casually pleasant ambience, the great service. We booked the champagne room for our bride’s bridal shower and it fit 12 of us with just the right amount of space in between. The only downpoint was that they got our reservation wrong (booked for 12 but NOT in the champagne room), and we even had confirmed it on Tuesday. Make sure you certainly, clearly, and repeatedly confirm your reservation. Luckily, everything worked out that the previous party finished their meals right before our set time for the bride-​to– be to arrive.
Anyway, on to the food. They had a full page of french toast, and I would love to try each and every one of them! The portion is huge and the flavors savory. I tried the tiramisu french toast, and though dessert-​like, its sweetness was light and delicate. I loved the soft middle with the crispier edges of the toast. I also had the smoked salmon royal, which was a big plate of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon on top if a bed of brown rice. The flavors were well mixed (though I had to remove some of the cream cheese because it got too heavy) and I thoroughly enjoyed every bite.
It was a great private space for a bridal shower, and I would return for more tastes of the menu.

So disappointing. I have heard such amazing things about this place for so long, & finally decided to go for brunch.
We called ahead the day before & made a reservation at 11am, showed up at 11:10… Was not seated until 11:45am.
Not sure I understand the point of making reservations when you still make people wait 35minutes!
We went to ask about what was taking so long, & we were told they never noted that we checked in (which we did at 11:10, and were told to «give them a COUPLE of minutes».
They then offered a bar seating. When you make a reservation you expect that means a table NOT a bar seat!
I ordered the PASTA VERANO:
DO NOT GET. So bland. There are not spices on the past or eggs, I had to request some type of sauce for the meal because it was so bland! Such a disappointment.
Recommend getting the French toast, & hold them to their reservations!
Only reason they got 2 stars was because their music selection is Great and my friends French toast was good.

I love this place and have been for both breakfast and dinner. Been here about 8 times and I am slowly working my way on through to try almost all the French Toasts (which are decadent and filling) and two of the burgers, including the special soft shell crab burger. Pretty awesome.
Will continue coming here till they kick me out!
On the 3PS system:
Place: stylish, with a cool indoor patio, booths, and tastefully decorated. Kind of a reminds me of a modern victorian type tea house.
People: youngish to middle-​agish – mostly the Venice/​MDR crowd.
Product: Excellent. It’s hard to go wrong with the orders. Mostly come here for breakfast on the weekends, which is what they’re known for.
Service: Friendly and usually attentive and on time. Sometimes they can be a little slow when it gets busy, but not usually.
This is my favorite Go To spot in MDR for a decadent Sunday Brunch.

This place is pretty much everything I look for in an amazing restaurant. Good variety of menu options, friendly staff, quick service, nice atmosphere, fair prices and most importantly… DELICIOUS food!
The boyfriend and I came here on Monday, Memorial Day around 10am for brunch. It was pretty busy when we checked in with the hostess; she told us the wait would be about 25 – 30 minutes. After only about 10 – 15 minutes, our names were called and a man that looked like the manager or owner took us to a cute little table in the covered patio room. The whole room was gorgeous, with paintings, Audrey Hepburn pictures, butterflies, and Paris inspired plates hung on the walls. Even the sugar and coffee creamer bowls at each table were cute.
So anyways, on to the food. We ordered coffee, the appetizer chilaquiles, chorizo royale (for him), and the tiramisu French toast (for me). The chilaquiles were perfect! The tortilla chips were crunchy, not dry at all, and had a good amount of green sauce on them, plus guac! Just beware because they do get spicy after eating them for a while.
My boyfriends chorizo royale was so good I asked for more than one bite. I never tried a breakfast bowl with eggs and brown rice before so I was skeptical on how it would taste. I was so wrong. All of the ingredients were tasty and balanced so well together. I have to order a royale bowl next time!
My tiramisu French toast was DIVINE! No need to add any syrup because it comes with mascarpone cheese, chocolate drizzle and cocoa powder. It wasn’t dry at all, just very filling! I could only eat half of it.
*The prices are fair for the large portions they serve you.
*There is parking in back of the restaurant but it is a small lot.
*They do take reservations but 2 hours in advance.
I will definitely be back to try other delicious sounding French toast choices (they had about 15 options). I want to try their pastas and sushi hamburgers too!
This place is very unique. I love it!

This place was really interesting. They have two very different sides; one is like a swanky lounge with dim lighting and leather booths, the other side looks like a bridal shower or Grecian garden, with lots of light and water fountains and white benches. We got seated on the Grecian side which was kinda nice because it made me feel like I was outdoors even when we were inside. They have a million and one options as far as food.
I got the fig and brie burger which I was not thrilled about actually because there was way too little fit and brie on it. But everyone else seemed very pleased with their food, and I tried my sister’s Cajun pasta dish and it was extremely good. Their mango cocktail was also really delicious. Evidently they dont have real alcohol there so its not a full bar, but they have lots of cocktail options and wine/​beer. All in all, would definitely recommend.

Sat on shabby chic patio with lots of Kate Spade decorations, pink straw table umbrellas unmatched chairs, had a feeling of being in a little girls bedroom.
Menu is extensive & server seemed anxious to get our order (party of seven). After ordering the food came out pretty quickly.
The best items were the steamed clams which we were charged an extra $ 5.00 for a basket of bread to soak up the broth (hmmm). Another table winner was the mushroom risotto which was ordered by one member of our part of 7 but the serving size was ginormous & enough for 3 persons– we didn’t share it, just pointing out its a very large serving. Hamburgers are extensive we had the Maytag w/​o the bun and it was good but a very small patty probably 6oz prior to cooking. We asked for medium (juicy & pink) & it was well done & dry. Another salmon salad w ginger dressing & tge salad part ws huge the salmon chunked up and overcooked. She wished she would have ordered something different.
The reason for 1 stars? We called 15 minutes ahead told them we were a party of 7 to make sure they could accommodate us at which time they failed to mentioned that they do not allow separate checks or would not even split the check for us even though they did not put an auto gratuity (? Maybe they did maybe they didn’t) this was hard to tell because they use old fashioned order pads like a ’50 diner & give you a calculator itemization with no items next to prices which left us to figure it out ourselves after asking for a menu from the bus boy.
The menu doesn’t state this policy .even if it did its 10 pages long at least and would have been impossible to find.
i don’t suggest taking a group here unless one person is paying. What a PITA at the end of your meal to have to do the restaurants job of figuring out our bill. The server never even offered a menu to help. She just had the attitude «nope we don’t split checks but ill happily take up to 3 cc’s And you the customer can do my job». We paid with one card & collected cash from others & probably paid part of their bills & tips. I hope my fiancé reflected that in HER tip. This would have been at least 3 star if the server would have had more of a helpful attitude rather than «not my job» as some of the food was worthy of 3 stars. Her attitude killed the experience.

Brunch! Who doesn’t like brunch?! You can have breakfast or lunch. whatever your whim. 26 Beach will satisfy your craving — French Toast options, Hamburger options in an eclectic environment. We had the Apple & Pecan French Toast and the California Roll Hamburger. Both were excellent.
Try to sit in the outdoor, covered patio for a bright, airy feel. Lots of positive vibes in the open setting. Service is also excellent. Parking can be a challenge and be ready to queue after 9:30am.

Without a doubt, one of the best breakfast/​brunch spots in LA! I’ve finally have had two kinds their much raved about French Toast; the Reese’s Pieces and the Churro French Toast. The Reese’s Pieces was good, but far too rich for my stomach. The following week I had the Churro French Toast… PERFECTION. The Horchata ice cream is delicious!
The crab royale is my absolute favorite thing there! No one else at my table ordered it, but after tasting it, they wished they had. Both crab and avocado… how can it get better than that?

Wow… very fun! My eyes were wide open with excitement, from the moment I stepped foot into this colorful and eclectic restaurant. We ordered the Eggs Bolognese off the «Pasta Scrambles» (scrambled eggs with pasta) and the Crab Royal off the «Royals» (egg over brown rice — Hawaiian style) menus. Very generous portions. Both brunch entrees were very tasty; I was just expecting chunks of crab meat to bite into. Attractive, strong, and tasty cocktails.
A definite 5+ stars for their originality, their variety of unique menu offerings, and their exceptional service: impressively friendly, attentive, and professional! Great experience and fabulously fun find!

The sushi burger is a must try. I loved everything about this place — the service was great, the food tasted delicious, and the outside tables are perfect for dog parents.
We came for a late lunch on a Friday afternoon and luckily did not have to wait. Happy hour is from 3−6pm so we got to try the HH menu as well.
Everything tasted good: the sushi burger, sweet potato fries, and even the bread with tzatziki, hummus, and olives.

I’ve been here several times before and was expecting another great time, drinks and meal. Everything exceeded our expectations. The decoration is so unique and cute, it reminds me of a fancy tea party. You have three options of where to sit, the outside area in the front under pink umbrellas, the outside area that is closed off indoors, and the indoor area. I’ve only sat in the indoor/​outside patio area. The staff were really attentive, asking us if our meals and drinks were what we expected and if not they offered to switch it out to something else we would like. We got the 26 Burger and I think it was called the buffalo chicken sandwich. I’m not too fond of bleu cheese and requested to get it on the side. The side salad’s dressing had an interesting flavor to it but it was good. It comes with tomatoes and cucumbers. The fries were also really good and crunchy/​well done.
I got a pineapple mojito, although that’s not my choice of drink, and actually thought it was good. Just make sure to mix it up good at first.
I really enjoyed dinner and definitely would return but I think I prefer coming here for the breakfast menu.

Came here for Sunday brunch yesterday, and overall had a decent experience. The ambiance inside is super cute with an outdoor/​indoor garden type of vibe. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
The food: I would say their french toast selection is divine. My friend ordered the apple & cinnamon french toast on croissant bread and it was absolutely delicious. As for my food, I ordered the 3 way breakfast, and although it was good, it wasn’t memorable. I’ve had better eggs and breakfast potatoes. I also wasn’t too impressed with my food being warm-​ish instead of really hot.
As with many businesses off Washington in Venice, parking sucks. I had to circle the block and ended up parking across the street in the residential area which can be a bit of a hassle. Also, apparently the restaurant has some new licensing law where you can’t drink alcohol on the outside «patio» (small tables literally on the sidewalk, not so nice) which is kinda lame.
However, I would go back for brunch and order on of the french toast items and make sure my food comes out hot.

We had a pretty good experience here. Their menu is ginormous and we had a hard time choosing.
I ordered the famous California roll burger. It was good, I forgot to tell them no ginger because I’ve never really been a big fan of the pickled ginger stuff. The crabmeat has some mayo, the meal was a lot heavier than I was intending to eat. We also liked the Smores French toast. My friends and I agreed it didn’t need the marshmallow topping.
My friend had the PB and J burger. He said it was alittle too much and wasn’t able to finish it all. He said the bananas were good though.
Want to try more next time I come back. The crab royal looks good and our second choice for French toast was the Churro.

Si vous voulez un burger digne de ce nom, this is the place to go ! Pour rien gâcher, service excellent ainsi que les salles. Fortement recommandé si vous n’avez pas peur d’un vrai burger
