    Dave Beran's Santa Monica bistro leans hard into France with no apologies and no asterisks. Wood beams, exposed brick, and white kitchen tile set the scene, and the pressed duck for two is the kind of centerpiece that makes the table next to you lean over and ask what you ordered. The marble bar handles a more casual drop-in just fine, with Champagne and caviar if you're feeling it. A New York Times pick for the city's best.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Brioche with chicken liver mousse

      “Brioche with chicken liver mousse and shallot truffle jam or bay scallops with green garlic beurre blanc reflect an unapologetically French approach.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Pressed duck

      “There are a number of dishes intended for two, and the pressed duck is the pinnacle of luxury.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Chocolate soufflé

      “Should there be room to spare, chocolate soufflé paired with vanilla ice cream or a strawberry tart with whipped cream make for a sweet sendoff.”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
