lunch in venice beach

Speaking of being beachside, on one of my downtime days I decided to do some thrift shopping in Santa Monica and had lunch on Abbot Kinney. I typically go to this one Wine Bistro place as it has a fix menu which contains some delicious salad, paella, and dessert.

Not shown here is the paella, which I have ordered before. Don't let the plate fool you every time I order paella I never finish it and end up taking some home for leftovers. Other than macarons and ice cream, bread pudding is another favorite in my book. The photo shown above was paired with blueberries, raspberries, and coffee ice cream (which was perfect for the summer weather). I had endless cups of Iced Tea, and enjoyed catching up and conversing over good food. Cheers!
