Reviews for 26 Beach in Venice, CA
26 beach is a hidden gem. I lived in Los Angeles for four years and just stumbled upon this place for a Friday morning brunch... before the girls and I caught a flight to Vegas. Ordered the kir royal to start, tuna on crispy rice and a cappuccino. Soundslike a weird mix but it was fantastic. I will definitely be going back. Street parking wasn?t hard to find but I?m sure duringthe weekend it?s more challenging Read more
Price = $26 / service = above avg / cleanliness = avg / vibe = chic, casual / parking = decent size back lot Ordered the Yuki... Spicy Tuna burger with fries = ~$26. Now...it is tough to find a good solid yet alone unique burger house. Unfortunately, 26Beach is not one of them. Although it seems that they would be based on the unique sushi burgers, Kobe and other interestingitems, it seems best to avoid any of the burgers. IMO if the patty is thinner than the bun, the burger is no good. There areonly a handful of "smashed" patties that are worth it and most of them are from the chain faster food joints. The flavor wasdecent being just enough salty and very slightly juicy: however, there was nothing special about the burger even on a spicy tunasushi topping. Imagine you running up to a delicious smelling and looking burger patty eagerly waiting to bite into a thicksavory and juicy patty but then someone took a step on it and spicy tuna oozed out with the patty getting squished thin. I knowthe sushi on meat sounds fearsome, but even the patty and toppings itself needs much work. I almost ordered the Kobe but do notthink it would be worth it after this burger. The bun was sadly VIP which should be the other way around from the patty. Briochetype that is fluffy like biting into a cloud with a slight push back saying "don't bite me". Fries are decent but not goodenough to recommend. They are the slight crunchy but soft and gooshy insides kind. It is like if you fry Play-Doh and the crustbecomes slightly crunchy. You know those times where you expect a good meal but had a subpar one and now you are annoyed...thiswas one of those times. HOWEVER, their breakfast might be worth it as I believe most Yelpers that reviewed ordered those. Istalked some of the other table / ordered items and the sandwiches DO look yummy. Stick with the sandwiches or front breakfastitems. There is a reason that seems to be the front menu. Pastas are dependent too but probably better Read more
This is a photo of my French toast with lavender ice cream, caramelized peaches, blackberries and blue berries with a Melba... sauce. So delicious I can't even describe how good it is! I love this place and I will always come back! Read more
We split our burgers just to see which one was better. We ordered the hickory burger and the chefs burger. Both were... outstanding. One of the things that really hit home with me was the quality of the food. Everything was top notch-from the bunto the meat to the sauces, cheeses, etc. Everything was so very tasty. I will definitely be back to try out a couple otherburgers and their breakfast menu. We sat next to a fountain which made my eating experience even more memorable. Great ambience.Oh, and plenty of parking in back. Read more
Awesome place. Tried the katsu California burger roll its amazing. Chocolate cake is a must try. Onion rings are good and the... tater tots. French toast is delicious. They stopped serving breakfast at 4:00 but the chocolate cake is next level. Read more
This is our dance team's must go place every February we visit to eat. It's like our mecca. Easily the best french toast I've... ever had. Read more
It could be a bit difficult to find a parking during dinner hours. You may want to pass the restaurant and make the first right... turn. You would enter a residential area and it is so much easier to find a parking spot. Plus it is free. They haveinteresting manue, so have fun ;) Read more
This place is so cute & and serves great food. 4 stars because we went on a cold night & they only had the outside portion open... & one heater was not working. Other than that, it was great. It's definitely a cute date place or outing with the girls. Had the"Old Fashioned" they do not have pure alcohol so it was made with a whiskey wine. Surprisingly, it was delicious & it had akick! Lamb chops were cooked perfectly. Read more
