La Monique: Oceanside Glamour in the Heart of Santa Monica
Hollywood Regency Meets Riviera Elegance
At Oceana Santa Monica, La Monique transforms the hotel’s oceanside setting into a cinematic French brasserie. Designed by Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, the interiors are a masterclass in texture and tone: jewel-toned velvets, hand-crafted straw marquetry, sculptural cast-glass walls, and reflective ceilings layer drama and intimacy in every corner.
A Jewel Box of Design
Emerald, sapphire, and rust tones shimmer against lustrous finishes, while a curated art collection—from local talents to international names—adds depth and narrative. Signature details, including a glowing backlit bar and intricate marquetry, invite guests to pause, explore, and savor the environment as much as the cuisine.
Dining as Design
At the helm is Top Chef France semi-finalist David Fricaud, whose menu is a modern homage to French brasserie tradition. But here, design dictates experience: every seat, sightline, and surface is choreographed to heighten the pleasure of dining oceanside. From intimate tables to social gatherings, the space feels both private and theatrically alive.
A New Landmark for Santa Monica
La Monique is more than a restaurant—it’s a social and architectural destination. Riviera-inspired elegance meets Hollywood flair in a space that honors the city’s history while defining a new standard for luxury lifestyle dining.
