Overview

Soak up the sun and savor the flavors of LA’s most eclectic coastal neighborhood on this laid-back food tour through Venice Beach. From vibrant street art to oceanfront eats, this experience captures the creative spirit and culinary flair that make Venice a true California original.

Kick off your day with a superfood smoothie bowl—the kind surfers swear by—then wander through Venice’s lesser-known canals and hidden corners for a taste of its quieter charm. Sample a plant-based surprise dish that even meat-lovers will crave, followed by a golden, flaky Argentinian empanada near the buzzing energy of Muscle Beach.

As ocean breezes roll in, dig into crispy fish tacos steps from the boardwalk. Capture the scene with your camera: iconic graffiti walls, daredevil skaters, and picture-perfect quesabirria with rich, sippable consomé. Finally, treat yourself to a sunny twist—Hawaiian shaved ice and silky Dole Whip for a beachy-sweet finish.

Whether you're a curious local or a hungry traveler, this tour dishes out the flavor, color, and fun of Venice in every bite.

Alcohol available to guests 21+ at select stops.

    • Stop 1 – Surfer’s Fuel
      Kick things off with a beloved beachside classic: a vibrant smoothie bowl topped with granola, bee pollen, and hemp seeds. It’s the perfect energizer and a local favorite among early risers and wave chasers alike.
    • Stop 2 – Secret Garden Bites
      Stroll past Venice’s peaceful canals—hidden gems echoing the city’s European namesake—and enjoy a surprise plant-based dish that proves healthy can still be crave-worthy.
    • Stop 3 – Beachside Baked Goodness
      Take in the energy of Muscle Beach while savoring a flaky Argentinian empanada. It’s bold, savory, and best enjoyed with a view of bodybuilders doing their thing just steps away.
    • Stop 4 – Taco & Tide Break
      Pause along the bustling boardwalk for a West Coast essential: a crispy fish taco served oceanside. Fresh, flaky, and full of SoCal flavor, it’s Venice in one bite.
    • Stop 5 – Street Art & Street Food
      Snap photos of Venice’s iconic murals and skaters in action before sinking your teeth into a golden quesabirria taco—melty, meaty, and ready for a rich consommé dip.
