Food Scene

Best croissants and sourdough baguette in Santa Monica. Totally worth the 11 blocks/1 mile walk from the house. (or you could hop on one of the many Wilshire buses)

Serves some of the best food in Santa Monica. No reservations... you'll have to stand in line. Except for breakfast when the place is a bit quieter (and the food still great).

Really nice Japanese food, beyond the usual sushi/sashimi. Owner/Chef Taku San is very friendly and attentive.
