We had a reservation for 9pm on New Year's Eve and were told we were not able to dine there because they were closed. Unfortunately we were not notified of any closure beforehand and were told about the closure when we went to the restaurant- which was very disappointing. We ended up dining somewhere else. We just moved in the area so we were very excited to come and eat here.
The food was fresh, clean, and absolutely delicious. Nothing heavy or unpleasant — just well-prepared dishes you can truly enjoy. They also offer excellent, healthy options for kids, which we really appreciated as a family.

The food was very delicious. Finally i had a good cup of coffee that is satisfying. The brunch plate is very flavorful in all aspects. And the signature french toast is truly a special!
Definitely coming back whenever in LA!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Stopped here for brunch and literally the best brunch we have ever eaten. Farm to table, fresh. Fabulous flavors. Brunch plate delicious. Mediterranean omelette 5 stars. Bursts pear salad worth writing home about. Asparagus Benedict plate demolished. But do NOT miss the French toast. We all voted it the best French toast we have ever eaten. Covered in fresh fruit. Syrup, homemade raspberry jam and ginger pear compote as optional toppers. Portions XL. We will have leftovers for later. Except for the salad and French toast. Plates wiped clean. Will come back again!

Perfect Saturday Brunch with My Aunt
I brought my aunt here for Saturday brunch and we had such a wonderful experience! From the moment we walked in, the rustic, airy atmosphere made us feel immediately relaxed and welcomed.
Our server Marie was absolutely fantastic – warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly throughout our entire meal. She made great recommendations and checked in on us at just the right moments without being intrusive.
The coffee was exceptional – We also tried the salmon Benedict and the waffles and both were outstanding. The Benedict was perfectly executed with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, and the waffle was light, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Everything tasted incredibly fresh and thoughtfully prepared.
The farm-to-table commitment really shines through in every dish. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and sustainability, which I appreciate as someone in the wellness space.
The outdoor patio was the perfect spot to enjoy the beautiful Saturday weather, and the overall rustic environment has such a charming, laid-back vibe on Main Street. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger over coffee and conversation.
Papille Gustative is exactly what Main Street Santa Monica does best – delicious, healthy food in a beautiful setting with genuinely great service. Marie made our experience extra special, and I’ll definitely be back!
Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality brunch spot that feels both special and approachable. Perfect for catching up with family or friends.

You need to eat here. No really. Atmosphere? Check. Great customer service? Check check. Amazing food with great portions? CHECK. I work close by and come here often, either for take out or for work meetings. The food never disappoints , always fresh,large portions and with my favorite vegan/vegetarian options. This place also offers a cozy intimate date night feel that a lot of local places lack,either because they have the sterile corporate vibe or they're overcrowded. My recommendation would be the fruit bowl with vegan cool whip and organic honey or any bakery item. And if you order lattes you're going to get those beautiful mugs with the drinks rich in flavor and presentation.

The menu here is beautifully curated, every dish feels carefully chosen, and the desserts are absolutely delicious. I’ve loved every dish I’ve tried. A special mention to Mari, who served us with attentiveness and warmth, which made the visit even more enjoyable.
