Pasjoli is an elevated French bistro from James Beard award-winning chef Dave Beran. The restaurant pays homage to French cuisine utilizing the bounty of produce available in Southern California. Rooted in classic French cooking and inspired by Parisian markets, pasjoli reflects Chef Dave’s thoughtful cooking style, showcasing his creative touches on bistro fare.

We serve a five-course prix fixe menu in our dining room and our secret garden. You'll be able to select your seating preference when you confirm your reservation. Please visit our website to see the most current menu.

Each evening, we have limited availability of pressed duck dinners. If you are interested in enjoying a pressed duck, please email info@pasjoli.com, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate vegan diets.

Nothing was bad but nothing was great either! We order whthe pressed duck but it was not pressed in front of us— which supposed to be the impressive part of ithe dish. All the dishes were ok. The lobster / Shrimp thing tasted like it was made days before and re-heated! The staff was lovely but seriously for that kind of money, I was expecting to be wowed but all I was wowed about was the final bill! It’s not worth what they are charging!

This is a lovely restaurant in my neighborhood and I’ve been wanting to try it for some time. We came to celebrate a birthday and were delighted with the experience. The host acknowledged our special event and we were seated right away. The wait staff was friendly and attentive. There was a beautiful wine list and an interesting drinks menu. The evening offered a Prix-Fixe menu with some different choices. I really couldn’t find fault with anything. The food is beautifully presented, seasoned correctly and portioned perfectly.

Food was amazing, the service was a little lacking. The time between courses was way too long and even getting our first drinks took forever.

We had a wonderful dinner at this Santa Monica gem. It was prix-fixe and the selections were delicious. Our party of 4 each chose separate entrées and we enjoyed every single dish. Cocktails were also on point. Thanks for a great dining experience to accompany our awesome FriezeLA art visit. We love LA.
