Fig Tree Cafe ( Dining / Other ). Located at 429 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, 2 miles from the center of Santa Monica. Fig Tree has always been a neighborhood classic, family-owned and serving our community since 1978. Today, we have reimagined it with a feel and flavor driven by our Latin roots and our love for the Pacific coastline. Inspired by our lives in South America, where the farms often nuzzle up against the sea, and by our home, Venice, we’ve peeled back the rind and recreated Fig Tree. For good food, good drink, and good company, we invite you to sit on our patio and feel the ocean breeze. figtreevenice.com Link
