Lunch on Main Street Santa Monica- today

[leaht]

I am visiting family for a few days in Long Beach and my husband and I planned on sitting near a pool all day, but the weather isn't really up for that so we're thinking of heading out to Santa Monica. I would love to have lunch on Main Street. Does anyone have suggestions for a good lunch spot there? We are from San Francisco so we already have our share of Chinese and Indian.

Thanks!

Lula's Mexican Cocina - awesome mole enchiladas and tacos (sit inside or in the interior courtyard)

Library Alehouse - nice beer/ale selection, sit in their courtyard

World Cafe - They have a huge outdoor patio in the front, nice selection of food to choose from

And if you go further down to Abbott Kinney, I love going to Joe's, Primitivo, or Lilly's French Cafe...they always have great lunch specials.

Or a little further north in Santa Monica, you could try Cora's at Pico and Ocean which has a very cute covered patio and good food. If you really want to eat on Main Street, another option is Urth Cafe.

If you haven't been to Chinois before (Puck's take on Asian fusion) then this would be a really good opportunity to give it a try.

Hello... Consider going a mile or so south from Main St. (technically passing from Santa Monica into Venice proper) and have a swell upscale lunch at Joes on Abbott Kinney blvd.. Its worth the extra distance and effort! Welcome to L.A. !
