Found this little cafe on Christmas Eve and we're glad we did. Went for breakfast. The food was very fresh and tasted great. Coffee was also very nice. Plenty of gluten free options so everyone is covered. Service was fast and attentive.

Great service. I have come several times and the staff have helped me choose a gluten free item. The breakfast is good and this time I had a more traditional meal and it was flavorful too. They have vegan and gluten free options.

We dined for the first time last evening. We had come to take advantage of Restaurant Week and try out the restaurant. We were disappointed when our server said EVERYONE at our table of four had to participate in the Restaurant Week menu . Our one dining companion has numerous food allergies (gluten, dairy, eggs and yeast) so she was not able to partake. She only wanted the octopus and a side salad. I was disappointed you were not able to accommodate us so we ended spending more money than we needed. Also as a side note the noise level was very high which made it difficult to talk across the table.

The gluten-free crust was better than most, and the Scapegoat Pizza perfect for two.

Massilia is a French restaurant nestled in Santa Monica near third street promenade, featuring a cozy interior and an intimate patio. Our group ordered the steak frites and lamb shank and both were quite delicious. Unlike most steak frites, the steak was thicker and you were able to select the temperature as well. The fries were perfectly crispy and deliciously seasoned. You have the option to get a chimichurri or bearnaise sauce, both of which are excellent options. The lamb shank is a gluten free meal and was so soft it pulled right off to the bone! In terms of cocktails, La Française was a clear winner. Anything with St. Germain is an obvious choice. Our server was very friendly, also French, and such a delight throughout the meal service. I definitely recommend dining here for modestly priced options with great ambiance. (32/50--2024)
