"The first word that comes to mind, when stepping into Tartine's Santa Monica location, will probably be "grand." It's a sprawling estate with soaring arched ceilings, an idyllic lawn to lounge on, and European architecture. It was once a funeral home. We're obligated by law to tell you that. But it's also home to fantastic sourdough breads (some of the best in the city), pastries, and a turkey club with crispy chicken skin, avocado, pickle mayo. It’s crunchy, creamy lunchtime bliss." - brant cox, kat hong, arden shore, nikko duren
