A French Brasserie
on the Sea.
La Monique is more than a name—it is both a restaurant and the muse at its heart.
A modern French brasserie where timeless tradition meets Santa Monica soul. That coastal spirit guides everything: seafood, steak, and seasonal produce prepared with precision; wines that blend European heritage with local discovery; and cocktails that shimmer in the glass and linger on the lips. The dining room is curated for delight—an intimate jewel box wrapped in deep tones and discerning art. Light falls softly, making the night feel rare and personal, with the kind of beauty that leaves you wondering: is this dinner, or something more?
Hours: Sun - Thursday 5:30pm - 10pm
