Manhattan Beach Restaurant Roundup

Manhattan Beach isn’t just renowned for its beautiful homes and sprawling beaches. Our city also boasts some of the best, family-owned local restaurants in all of LA. Fine dining, decades-old staples, and casual pit stops pepper every inch of our beachside town.

Of course, some of the best places have capitalized on MB’s perfect year-round weather. Gorgeous, recently-added outdoor decks at The Strand House and Rock'N Fish boast incredible ocean views. Patios at Nando Trattoria and Fishing with Dynamite mimic secret gardens. Ercoles and Shellback Tavern, two infamous Manhattan Beach bars, have casual, on-brand outdoor spaces that keep the party going. 

The Manhattan Village Shopping Center is a new and improved version of its former self. Joey Restaurant and Boa Steakhouse elevate the area, adding to the local secret Tin Roof Bistro. To satisfy your sweet tooth post-meal, make sure to visit the famous Handel's Homemade Ice Cream and Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee.

Classics like Slay's Italian Kitchen and Slay’s Steak + Fish House, Nick's, MB Post, and Petros lend to our ever-evolving, eclectic, and highbrow culinary field. Esperanza, MB’s newest fine dining place spiced up the old Shark's Cove. This sister restaurant of Hermosa's swanky Palmilla offers a futuristic fine-dining Mexican experience with margaritas and a guacamole trio that will change your life. 

Manhattan Beach has always been a mix of elegant and casual; our local everyday staples reign supreme as some of the city's most successful and adored establishments. Uncle Bill's Pancake House perpetually has a line wrapped around the building. Ercoles and Shellback have held memories and secrets for decades. Simmzy's, Sloopy's, Local Yolk, The Kettle, OB's, and Grunions are all local favorites with unique personalities. With so many varied options, there's something for everyone at every meal of the day.
