Love this place, we will definitely come back! The rack of lamb, the mushroom pasta, and the french fries were excellent, so delicious! I’m sure there are many other delicious items that I will be trying next time. It’s a beautiful place with really awesome music, we...Read More

This is the sister restaurant of Zinqué, and as expected, everything was fabulous. We went on a girls' night out on a Thursday, and it was perfect. From the hostess to the atmosphere, the location, and of course the food.

Massilia is a nice restaurant in downtown Santa Monica. We came for a weekend brunch but it wasn’t too busy and we got a nice spot outside, but far from the street so it was calm. We ate from the Dine LA lunch menu and...Read More

Everyone needs to go try their 8-hour lamb shank, I’m still thinking about it from last night. We did the Dine LA menu and the portions were so big! The staff was more than friendly and we had a great time. We enjoyed everything and...Read More

On the eve of the November outdoor dining ban, we made a res at Massilia... having had it “on the list” to try for several weeks. They have a beautiful outdoor dining area along 4th Street that has a tantalizing vibe for brunch and dinner....Read More

I would say it is brilliant! The servers are warm and welcomed. Foods are good! I love the clams with the bread. Clams are fresh, and the taste is soooo good with the source. Anyway, foods we ordered are impeccable.

One of the best meals I’ve had recently … very attentive and efficient service, a high ceilinged dark but elegant interior… and the food is what one would say … extremely fresh , made to perfection… they knew their Tagine flavors. The calamari was of...Read More

We tried the couscous and lamb—both were delicious, especially the lamb. The non-alcoholic mezcal drink was amazing, with just the right bitterness to feel like you’re drinking the real thing

Beautiful space. Fantastic vibe. Incredible drinks! Welcoming place with lovely and attentive staff! I asked Isabel, the mixologist, to create a alcohol free drink for me and she made me an incredible Mescalito. Perfectly balanced flavors with a alcohol free Mescal. A wonderful way to...Read More

The food was very delicious, and the lamb leg was outstanding. Prices were moderate, about the same as elsewhere. However, the check included a 17% sales tax, while in Santa Monica, California it’s usually around 10%. On top of that, tips are added, so be...Read More

Really lovely French bistro. We were greeted and served by Jean-Michel who was just a delight. So rare these days to have a warm welcome and caring service. The lamb shank was truly delicious, as was the chocolate mousse. We will be back. Merci!

I tried the lamb shank while my wife tried the pizza. The lamb shank was beautifully cooked and the potato puree only enhanced the package. The mushrooms on the pizza were pretty awesome too.
