Tiato 2700 Colorado Avenue Santa Monica 310 866 5228 The delightful Tiato is a breakfast and lunch spot offering Vietnamese food with a decidely Californian spin. Classic pho is on the menu alongside a turkey taco salad; a Vietnamese beef or chicken baguette with daikon and carrot is on offer as is a vegetarian grilled sandwich of zucchini, eggplant, feta and arugula on a vegan roll; pair a Jidori chicken main with such sides as braised kale or Chinese long beans, or a citrus glazed salmon with curried cauliflower and edamame. There's the requisite healthy breakfast options or go for their luscious baked goods. Truffled mac and cheese for brunch? Why not. Located in the same building as Lionsgate and Viacom means a steady set of power lunchers not just on the business side but also such folks as Matthew McConaughey, Nicholas Cage, Geena Davis and the apparently very easy-going and friendly Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck. A spectacular partially covered garden takes advantage of the local weather but also grows many of the herbs used in the kitchen including Vietnamese basil and mint. A full service catering offering along with an in-house florist and a gated on-site parking area means many evenings are dedicated to swishy events and breathtaking weddings. |
