Santa Monica Pier is one of LA’s most visited attractions, and you can find numerous pretty great restaurants in its immediate surroundings. Here’s a couple of places where you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice meal after exploring the sun-kissed beaches of Santa Monica.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Company
Forrest Gump-inspired restaurant is one of the places at Santa Monica Pier that people tend to visit even if they don’t intend getting any food since you can take nice photos and buy souvenirs inspired by this movie classic.
The Albright
If you’re in the mood for the essential Santa Monica experience, this restaurant is your best pick. With a wide range of seafood options on its menu and amazing views from its open-air patio, you couldn’t possibly ask for more.
Pacific Park Food Court
If you’re not in the mood for a fine dining experience, and simply want something quick, tasty and familiar, Pacific Park food court is your best bet. You don’t have to pay amusement park admission to get in, but you’ll still feel some of the rush just by being there.
