Had a great lunch at the Sidewalk had a chicken sandwich and a side salad with blue cheese. Love the ocean breeze.

Brunch is good. Salmon Benedict was good but a bit pricey due to the mandatory included drink. They do have a good happy hour, 5 days a week until 7pm!

You can’t get a better spot for people watching while you dine than the Sidewalk. Open for over 40 years it’s a Vencoe Beaxh Boardwalk staple. I got the chicken caprese sandwich really good and a guava mojito. They have good happy hour prices.

Side Cafe is a great spot to eat at if you’re ever in Venice Beach. It’s right along the boardwalk, so great spot to people watch (never a dull moment) haha and you have the best views for sunset! The food and drinks are good, typical bar food. Our spread was: mozzarella sticks, buffalo cauliflower, pizza & burgers. To drink, wine & beer. The vibes were fun & cool, and there were a lot of people. Highly recommend coming by if you’re looking for a bite to eat with a view!

The always busy vibe matches the always good food here at the Sidewalk Cafe. This cafe is located right on Beachfront property overlooking the ocean.
