Playa Provisions

"Before you spend a day at the beach pretending you’ve played beach volleyball before and forgetting to put on sunscreen, you’ll need brunch. And Playa Provisions is about as close as you can get to eating eggs on the beach, without the risk of sand in your scramble. The outdoor dining room has dune views, and you can sit next to a fireplace that makes you feel like you’re at a bonfire at Dockweiler (before you go to an actual bonfire at Dockweiler). Get one of their cocktails and you won’t ever want a mimosa in the morning again." - jess basser sanders, nikko duren, sylvio martins

"An idea: spend a morning with your dog at one of the most underrated beaches in LA (Dockweiler). Then, afterward, go to Playa Provisions nearby. This excellent all-day restaurant is open for all three meals. While their dinner is solid, the best time to be here is during the day for pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Sit on the large patio that's welcoming to dogs and humans alike. " - brant cox

"Want house-made ice cream before a stop in the sand? Playa Provisions has you covered. Want morning coffee plus a stroll among the waves? They can do that too, along with takeaway fare, on-site dining, and all manner of beach-casual food made by chefs Brooke Williamson and Nick Roberts." - Eater Staff

"The beachside restaurant in Playa Del Rey is offering a variety of Valentine’s Day specials including crab cakes with Meyer lemon crème fraîche, rigatoni rigate with lamb ragout, and raspberry swirl cheesecake. That said, the items that have caught our eye the most are the “Lobstergram” sugar cookies and their “cheap date cupcakes,” which are chocolate cakes with vanilla buttercream. Available starting 2/8 for preorder, pickup only." - brant cox
