Food Scene

This is a great restaurant near the pier featuring delicious small plates and wonderful cocktails. One of the nicer restaurants in MB, but still somewhat casual.

Delicious pseudo-italian cafe, featured on Diners, Drive-in and Dives (a US foodie show). Great coffee, better food. Check the hours, which vary by season. And they aren't allowed to open early.

Panchos is a great Mexican restaurant with good ambience. It is a little pricey, but has some amazing and authentic dishes. The menu is extensive, so there is something for everyone. Great margaritas!

A local favorite, this place is nearly always crowded. Use OpenTable to get a reservation. Great burger, steaks, fish, and drinks. Try the Navy Grog, a tribute to the old restaurant which stood here.

This is a great place for sushi! It's right in downtown Manhattan Beach. Very yummy! Not really expensive, but definitely on the higher end of mid-range for sushi--and worth it!

Mama D's is very casual, but good. It tends to be quite popular with families, so if you're looking for a quiet night, might not be the best spot. Food and service are both good.

If you want good Italian, fancier, definitely adult, Mangiamo's is fantastic. Ask for a table in the wine cellar if you want a quiet dinner. Not a real wine cellar, but brick walls with wine storage.

This is one of our newer restaurants from the acclaimed chef of MB Post. Simply amazing seafood dishes. The place is dinky, and they take few reservations, so expect a wait. Open for lunch too.

Fishbar is a short walk from our house and has great food and cocktails. It can get crowded and they don't take reservations, so plan to have a drink at the bar. They are good with kids, too.

While Starbuck's is just a few doors down, we prefer the bolder brews at Peet's. Nice pastries, too.

This grungy hole in the wall is MB's oldest bar, and one of its best kept secrets. They pick up fresh hamburger daily from the butcher shop next door to make their amazing burgers.
