Figtree for Breakfast
Let Figtree Cafe be the fuel for your fun. Start your morning right by stopping in for a hearty and heart-smart and highly sought after breakfast. Yes, for over 30 years, Figtree has been the favorite breakfast destination for hungry and healthy visitors and Venetians alike.
It's all about the right ingredients: Chino Valley organic eggs, La Brea Bakery artisan breads, Nature’s Best natural & organic products, Vet’s Garden greens & herbs and Venice’s own Ground Works locally roasted organic coffee are just some of the great stuff that go into our delicious breakfast creations.
Start with fresh squeezed juices and signature hot coffee & tea beverages like the rich and earthy jolt of our Mate Latte, made from organic Yerba Mate or go for the velvety rich flavor of Ghirardelli hot chocolate. Revive your senses with an invigorating tonic; served sparkling over ice or piping hot, in 5 different formulas to choose from.
Feed your morning appetite with our signature giant omelets like the Shiitake or the Olympian, served with herb-roasted potatoes and La Brea toast. Love a good old pancake breakfast? Try Figtree’s delicious cornmeal pancakes with organic maple syrup. Got a few extra minutes to indulge? Don’t miss the “puffed” pancake, a light and delicate pancake souffle, filled with fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with a light confection.
For a healthy twist on more traditional breakfast offerings, make sure to sample our hearty smoked Applegate turkey bacon, or our very own chicken-apple sausage. The soy chorizo is a flavor sensation that wows even the most carnivorous skeptics. Savor the familiar flavor of fresh smoked salmon and cream cheese over a toasted bagel with all the trimmings, an old-school favorite.
Looking for lighter fare? Choose one of our fresh fruit non-dairy smoothies, a bowl of porridge made from organic steel-cut oats, or La Brea granola with fresh yogurt, milk or soy. There is something for every appetite at Figtree’s breakfast. Enjoy select breakfast dishes all day.
Breakfast happy hour: 50% off the entire menu, excluding alcohol 8:00AM to 9:00AM 7 days a week.
Lunch & Dinner Service
What better way to take in the local flavor than sitting front and center on our ocean-front patio. Our covered patio seating nestles you in as you ready for some incredible eats. Need a little extra warmth as the sun begins to set? Stay warm and toasty with our outdoor natural gas heaters and soft blankets (just ask your server). Listen to eclectic tunes from our premier audio system or from local performers on the boardwalk. Starting to get the vibe? Now for the cuisine:
Try the California Focaccetti, a fusion dish with layers of grilled chicken, avocado, basil, sour cream jack cheese, tomatoes and spinach, all over a bed of grilled rosemary focaccia. Taste why patrons go nuts over our Far Eastern Ginger Noodles with fresh udon noodles, grilled tofu, sauteed ginger, peanuts, garlic, sesame oil and ponzu sauce; a truly inspired taste of the Orient.
Carb-conscious diners find great nutrition and intense flavor in our Pear-Walnut Salad, a delicate medley of fresh sliced green Anjou pears, rich crumbles of feta cheese and caramelized walnuts all over a bed of organic mixed greens with sesame vinaigrette. Get the energy you need from Figtree’s hearty Chopped Salad; semi-finely chopped lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, kidney & garbanzo beans, mozzarella & parmesan cheeses and balsamic vinaigrette. Add grilled chicken to make this a lean and mean body builder’s meal.
Of course no lunch or dinner is complete without the proper imbibe. Figtree Cafe offers an eclectic selection of premium bottled beers, dry South American & California wines and wine cocktails. Red or white, coastal or valleys, each wine was hand-picked by Chef Feliciano & staff to be the perfect accompaniment to your entree. Be sure to ask your server for recommendations in pairing your plate with the perfect glass!
Come to Figtree Cafe on weekends to try Chef Feliciano’s weekend creations like jumbo seared sea scallops with mango salsa and saffron rice, or the ever-popular calamari salad with fresh chopped cabbage and a delicate citrus dressing, or munch on the always delectable selection of crisp & savory Argentinean empanadas.

Historic Venice Beach
Nestled on a vast and wondrous stretch of the southern California coastline, Venice Beach is host to myriad sights and activities unique to this one of a kind beach community. Home to a rich tapestry of artists, architects, activists and innovators, Venice stands out in a sea of standouts: It’s no wonder that Venice Beach is one of the most visited destinations in California, second only to Disneyland!
Walk, bike or blade the historic Venice boardwalk for a kaleidoscope of odd-ball performers only found here in Venice, like rollerskating rockstars, walking tree people, ragged beat poets and dreamer daredevils. Take a stroll down the city’s namesake: a network of serene canals reminiscent of the old country, lined with pristine architecture and local wetland life.
Next you can gallery hop down Abbot Kinney Blvd, then maybe catch a Muscle Beach bod hard at work or ollie down to the beachfront skate park and you haven't even begun to scratch the surface. However you spend your day, you will not soon forget your visit to Venice Beach.
